"A secret conspiracy to kill me", the emperor said in a quiet tone, "and a spy near me who knows all my secrets", he sat on a plush couch taken from an old film Alaska couldn't name, "and you just heard voices behind the wall but you think you could recognize one of them", she started feeling uncomfortable, "and you didn't record the conversation but expect me to just believe a girl I met three days ago on a whim against my most trusted lieutenants?"
Alaska fealt her face warming at the summary, "then you used forbidden magic to stroll unseen around my ship and almost caused an accident that could kill you or someone else", looking at her feet she wanted the deck to swallow her anf pull her all the way to the bottom of the ocean.
"I believe you", he finally said and paused, "its sooner than usual", another pause let her raise her eyes, "but maybe I only found out sooner thanks to your prompt report", she stared at him in disbelief, "this is a game" he gestured around them, "the admins want to add some challenge to our adventure" inviting her to sit on a chair that popped from thin air.
"otherwise all the stories would be a repetition of each other", flourishing with his hand "the emperor came", he thumbed himself, "the emperor saw", pointing to his eyes, "the emperor pillaged and sailed into the sunset", another flourish towards the ceiling.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
At a loss for words Alaska couldn't believe how full of himself the man was, she already heard that he was a new heir to the legacy and figured him to be around her age, all hot air and acting, using inherited wealth to bolster his own name, Bob the fifth, his flare already dimmed by the rumors was now aapproaching murky visuals with this display of condescending manners and the previous humiliation, she couldn't believe she looked up to him once, but it was just the legend she adored, not the man behind the curtain, at the realization she suddenly needed to be anywhere else, far away from this man shaped hot air baffoon.
Alaska rose to her feet and left without saying a word, outside the door she despawned and immediately materialized in the new market at Huashan the city of wanders and newbies.
Going to the wizards guild she scanned the boards for a challenge, there were seventeen unconquered quests and raids and she randomly plucked one and went to the counter, the guide looked at her shipboard attire and random drop staff and shook his head, "I don't think you should climb Aferion mountain missy", he said with a grim tone, "many braved its slopes to reach the peak", another shake, "its a hardcore zone", he added, "what falls in the mountain stays on the mountain".
Alaska just signed her name and handed him the paper, "its your doom then", adding his signature "the guild takes no responsibility for your losses".
