" Wait. Is that really Hindriad ? The bulky and fearsome Hindriad ? "

Jain heard a whisper from one of the maids from far away, ever since the dungeon incident his hearing and other senses had vastly improved.

" it seems so.. "

Jain heard another answer.

" Why is he....so younger ? "

Another voice from the group asked , Jain turned his head to look at Hindriad as if realizing something.

" Oh.. "

He said to himself in a whisper , Hindriad really did look a bit younger compared to before he entered the dungeon.

What a cheat , how nice it would be to look younger when I turn into a Grandpa, It must be because of being turned into a monster , it must have made his skin to be smooth and younger somehow - All the ladies would rush into the dungeon if they knew about this.

Vincent and Violet held back , observing what was happening in silence.

Jain then sat next to Vin and began explaining how he went to the dungeon to look for some sort of sword and found both Hindriad there and the foreigner named Shawn.

He also added that Hindriad was supposed to be a monster , but had reverted back after Jain defeated the Queen.

Then Jain carried on and told the lovely mistress who was observing them with a neutral expression how Hindriad wanted to venture out with Jain to Azania - He had told him that after Jain had found him trying to teach his little sister how to juggle with swords of course.

It was outrageously dangerous, thankfully Jain had caught him before the ignorant victim - her sister attempted to try it.

" So Hindriad , am I hearing you right ? Is this truly what you want? "

Violet who had been quiet all this time finally asked Hindriad, a solemn look on her face.

" Yes ma'am , I am sure this is what I want. Not only did this young man(pointing at Jain) spare my life , he also helped remove me from the clutches of the dungeon boss. What other gratitude can I show other than serving him, my life is his "

Violet sighed. Perhaps thinking it would be fruitless to try to convince him to stay.

" Alright, do you still want the stellar coins I offered you? "

A large gasp made its way out of everyone's mouths with Violet and Hindriad himself being the exceptions.

Vincent and Jain gasped the loudest.

A single stellar coin was equivalent to a 100 gold coins , stellar coins were quite very rare and only owned by the nobility and very rich families. Stellar coins were made of a metal called Hirokin and each and every stellar coin had a finely placed diamond in the middle of it which was exactly what made them quite rare , . Super rich families in Voz could atleast be equal in value to 18 stellar coins.

The lovely mistress right now had just mentioned about giving Hindriad stellar coins - a plural and not a single one.

How rich would he be after getting them? Everyone's attention was grabbed as they sunk their eyes on Hindriad, impatiently waiting for a reply.

Hindriad continuesly looked at Jain and then at the mistress , as if deciding whether to take the money or not. He finally stopped ,looking at Jain.

Oh no...what does this bum want now ?!

Jain thought as Hindriad's eyes stayed on him.

" Master , do you think I should take the money? "

" Tch , didn't I tell you to stop calling me master?! "

Jain exclaimed with visible frustration. The maids looked at Jain , no doubt wondering what Jain himself had done to get the B+ ranked hunter to acknowledge him as a 'master'.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

" Do you think I should take them? "

Hindriad ignored Jain's complaint, skipping right Into what he wanted to know.

Jain exhaled heavily.

This guy will be the death of me , what are people supposed to think when they see a B+ ranked hunter bowing to me ? they will think I'm an absolute monster !

" It's your money, you decide what to do with it. "

" Hmm... I'll take it !! "

Hindriad exclaimed with joy, finally yielding to his own desires.

And then after , they left the palace.

Leaving Violet once again alone with the maids.

***

Violet returned to her chamber, preparing to contact a particular special individual.

Jain and the others had left just minutes ago. Violet was in such a great mood that she couldn't put it in words , she had managed to throw to-be obstacles away to to what she had planned on a single day ; Jain , Vincent and Hindriad. The lesser the potential of strong people like them trying to intervene, the better - therefore she was more than happy to send them off , she had even pretended to be sad when Hindriad announced that he was leaving - but deep inside she was practically dancing with glee.

Phase one of the plan was finished , now it was time to commence phase two - making sure they stay gone, which was exactly why Violet was contacting this 'special' individual.

A ring with a gem was placed on a table, right in front of Violet.

This was the rare ring used for long-distance communication. The ring had two modes that could be used during communication - one of them being the sound mode where sound was used as a medium between two or more rings of the exact same design , this mode was less energy consuming.

The gem in the middle was a gem which absorbed mana from the atmosphere in a dungeon and was then mined , when it was drained from communication too much - basically when the mana it had ran out, one had to look for another one as it would be no different from an ordinary ruby.

It was an unrenewable source which allowed people to contact each other despite long distances, and thus cost quite a fortune to buy just a single one of them which was why most people who had the magi-ring preferred to use the sound mode instead. The other mode was the vision and sound mode ,it used both sound and vision for communication.

A medium sized rectangular screen appeared in mid air , showing the image of the person presented - a person couldn't see themselves though , just the person their contacting or being contacted by.

The vision alone consumed a quarter of the earring sized gem. This worked by manipulating the mana in the air using an inbuilt rune that was in the ring , the mana manipulated would then take the form of the contacted person. This was the mode Violet was currently using.

She had more than a lifetime's worth of gems , so she could use the magi-rings ten times a day and she wouldn't even run out - although recklessly spending could make most nobles green with envy.

The rectangular screen appeared, showing Violet that her contact attempt had succeeded.

A middle aged man wearing eccentric but majestic garments appeared on the other side , he also had a crown on his head.

" Missed me ? "

The voice was a bit raspy but it was mostly soothing in a way - exactly like Violet remembered it.

" Screw you. "

Violet jokingly said , the other person smiled at the words as much as Violet did.

" Still fiesty hey? I wonder if you're doing a good job there , after all , you've always been quite soft when it comes to responsibility. "

" You're not the one to tell me that , you're seeming to forget the little failure of a harem you tried to make. "

The other person fake coughed, Violet had hit the spot were it would hurt the most.

" So. What did you want to talk to me about ? "

Ignoring it , hey ?

Violet inwardly laughed, but she didn't have much time to joke around so she got straight to the point.

" Kids , there are little brats coming over there. I want you to deal with them. "

" Deal with them? That's quite vague you know. Do you mean I should kill them ? "

" No , you shouldn't kill them. They are too powerful to discard like garbage, I think they can be quite the reliable pawns. "

There was silence on the other side. Thinking , the other person was thinking - making a choice.

" If you say so, but how should I even begin to deal with them? "

" Just make sure they stay there , right now they can become hindrances to what I have currently planned , even if they can be useful in the future. "

Violet saw the other person's lips turn into a smile , she knew exactly what would follow.

Exploitation.

" Alright , I'll make sure my pawns take care of it. hopefully you don't think I'll be doing this for free now , do you ? "

Violet sighed.

" Of course not , What do you have in mind ? "

A grin emerged from the other person. There was a slight bit tyranny which presented itself on the person's facial expression , like a demon which had finally caught a toy it longed to play with.

" I don't know , perhaps a little chance to a make out sess- "

" Forget about it. "

Violet quickly Intercepted the incoming words but there wasn't any sign of disappointment on the person's face , rather , Violet rather saw motivation to try again.

This is how it always went , Violet rejecting intimacy and the other person trying again.

Violet didn't find it annoying , but rather cute how someone who had most of the world in the palm of his hands poached her , while he even had a long list of beauties he could get his hands on any when he wanted- it gave Violet a different kind of joy to reject him every time he tried.

" Haha, still rejecting le ol' Roland ? "

Violet snickered.

" Ha , nice of you to think you even had a chance. Alright Roland , let's say I'll consider it after world domination is a reality. Of course this doesn't mean I'll throw myself into your blankets like most of your - well , you know what I mean. "

" I always do. Regardless , I'll look forward to it. "

" World domination or a chance with me? "

The other person - Roland , ran his hand across his hair knocking the crown off. He then looked at Violet with a fierce determination and confident smile.

" Both. "

The call was cut, leaving Violet charmed and smiling in the loneliness and silence of her chamber.

Exactly like it always did.
