Reincarnated as a Betrayed Prince: Hero.
Chapter 3: Thugs and Villains.

Chapter 3: Thugs and Villains.

Kanbe had been waiting for a while already, but he was just chilling and looking around the area of the smith. It wasn’t the most refined area of the city, in fact it was an area of suburbs, but it felt more normal than anything he had seen up to now in this world.

Yeah, this world seemed medieval for Kanbe and it most certainly was like that in some ways… But in others, Kanbe could notice that the people were more advanced in technology, like the fact that no one threw buckets of… Waste, yeah, let’s call it waste, across the streets.

That alone showed to Kanbe that either the dark age didn’t happen in this world, which was a relief, or this world suffered the dark age but managed to keep a good sanitary system for the cities. The fact of the sanitary system being better was proved once Kanbe found a lid made of iron placed on the ground, which seemed to lead to the sewers of the city, and it seemed sealed on the ground… Which also meant that it could only be opened with a crowbar or something similar to open the sewer entrance.

While Kanbe was focused on that kind of things, a group of five men wearing brown studded leather armors that covered their body from the neck to the feet were walking around. This group of men looked at Kanbe, and saw him as a pampered rich noble who didn’t see a city before… Which made him a perfect target for a shakedown.

This group of thugs were armed, one had a crossbow, two had a pair of gauntlets made of iron and a pair of rusty spears, and the last two were just using daggers.

Kanbe didn’t notice them, being quite focused on looking if there were some sorts of lamppost, or at least lamps that used electricity, due to his curiosity. But luckily for him, he slipped while stepping on the iron slip exactly when a thug that was using a dagger tried to grab him in order to intimidate Kanbe.

Kanbe fell to the ground, but the thug tripped and fell face first on the ground, which made the other thugs angry… Believing that Kanbe had slipped on purpose, and that he was a trap for the average thug, the crossbow thug aimed at Kanbe.

All of this had surprised Kanbe, who just got up and dusted himself off while looking at the thugs. Due to his knowledge thanks to his father being a cop, Kanbe knew that this group was probably a group of thugs trying to steal some money from him… Which ironically, he had not even a single coin… And he didn’t know which kind of currency this world used.

“Sirs, if you are looking for money, sorry. But I don’t carry a pouch of money, so… How about you leave, before anyone gets hurt, and seek a decent job?” Kanbe said, as he proposed a way where no one would be hurt. ‘I shouldn’t try to talk things out, but they have weapons and Caroline is nowhere to be found.’ Kanbe thought to himself, as he considered the best paths to avoid confrontation.

The thug that aimed at Kanbe scoffed and shot a bolt at Kanbe, but like if it was a matter of destiny… The thug that tripped got up while the bolt was going to hit Kanbe’s left arm, and got hit in the back by said bolt, while the rest of the thugs started moving to attack Kanbe.

“To Inferno with you!” One of the thugs wielding spears exclaimed, clearly angry by Kanbe’s words.

“I will most certainly impale you for what you have done, shitty noble!” The other thug wielding a spear exclaimed.

Kanbe looked at the two thugs, and remembered one move that his grandfather taught him. He ran from the two spear thugs until the dagger thug was too close to him, which is when he allows the dagger thug to try to stab him… Only to use the year he had been learning judo to throw the dagger thug to the ground, and then punched him several times while the spear thugs tried to hit him without hurting their ally.

After knocking out the second thug that used a dagger while receiving a few grazes from the spear thrusts, Kanbe rolled forward and turned quickly to the other two thugs.

The brutality of Kanbe’s rampage on the dagger wielding thug was enough to scare the remaining thugs, but Kanbe knew that they’d be far more dangerous right at that moment than before.

“How about you fetch your friends, and leave? Look, your crossbow guy has failed and has hit the back of your pal… If he doesn’t get help, the chances of him winding up dead due to infection are high. The other guy just has his face punched in, some time and hopefully a good doctor… He should be moving around. If I had money, I’d pay for the hospital bills your friends will have for this. But I don’t, and you could cause damage with those spears… And then my… let’s call her friend for the sake of convenience, would be angry with me. So, yeah: Do your choice?”

The thugs huffed, and the first spear wielding thug moved in to stab Kanbe, only to be countered by Kanbe with a quick stomp on the spear that broke the wooden pole part of the spear in two pieces.

The attacking thug looked at the spear, stunned by how easily the young hero had managed to break the spear, and couldn’t block the next attack, which was a low kick to the crotch of the thug done with all the strength that Kanbe could muster.

The thugs shivered, and started sweating due to how brutal the attack was, while the attacking thug straight-up started screaming while dropping on his knees. Kanbe took a deep breath, and was walking to the next target… Only to see the remaining thugs running away.

Kanbe was going to clean himself up due to the fact that his fists were covered in blood, and he had a pair of grazes on his arms, when Caroline came out of the smithy. Her face was pale after seeing what Kanbe had done, and she was clearly panicking.

“What the hell!? I wasn’t gone for that long, and you got in a fight!? Are you okay!? I have to heal those grazes and clean up this mess! Otherwise, I am dead!” Caroline said, clearly worried about what had transpired here. ‘Someone tried to steal my deal!? How dare they! They almost caused a mess to all the world!’ Caroline thought to herself.

“I just defended myself from these thugs. Oh, don’t worry about the wounds. They suffered far worse wounds, but two of them escaped.” Kanbe said, while smiling widely.

Caroline looked at Kanbe, and quickly used a spell on him that released a white energy from her left hand, and it infiltrated the grazes that Kanbe had… This alone made the wounds close and made Kanbe feel so much better than before the energy entered inside his body.

“What is this?” Kanbe asked, while looking at his own body.

“Just a simple spell from the bishop skill tree, a healing spell that will close wounds and make you feel better, known as Minor Heal.” Caroline replied, while smiling at Kanbe.

Kanbe nodded, and looked impressed by what a spell with minor in its name could do. If that was what Minor Heal could do, he would love to have someone who could cast Medium Heal on him once he got gravely injured.

Yet that wasn’t something that Caroline bothered with, since she had the equipment for the young hero and didn’t want to risk herself into getting into trouble, and so she looked seriously at Kanbe.

“Okay, I will summon in front of you two items. And you will touch them and say the word known as Inventory. It’s a benediction, consider it like a power, which will you allow stashing away quickly any item.” Caroline said, as she kept smiling.

Kanbe looked surprised, but decided to shrug while looking for a source of water to clean his hands from blood… After all, just like cherry juice, blood couldn’t get out of the clothes once dried.

But Caroline decided to just clean up Kanbe’s fist using a napkin she was keeping inside an inner pocket she had in her outfit, while uttering the words ‘Inventory, Hero Starting Armor and Hero Starting Blade’.

After saying those words, the equipment she had acquired from Sumeragi appeared in a flash of light in front of Kanbe.

Kanbe looked amazed at what Caroline had done right now, but decided to just do what Caroline asked of him quickly since she seemed stressed.

“Inventory.” Kanbe said half-heartedly, not believing Caroline’s words.

And in a quick flash of blue energy, both the sword and the armor disappeared, while leaving Kanbe stupefied by what had just happened. This alone went against most rules of physics that he was aware of, and that was something his mind couldn’t comprehend, which did give him a headache.

“Well, the energies you felt and saw are what everyone calls mana. Mana exists everywhere in this world, I think I explained it all to you already, otherwise… I am just too stressed because you messed up three thugs in the streets. Good job, but that’s just a ton of paperwork and explaining to do for me.” Caroline said as she took a deep breath. ‘My head, it hurts a lot, and I can’t show my tail and smack my tail against the ground… Ugh!’ Caroline thought to herself as she felt a sharp headache caused by the stress.

“Oh, sorry. They attacked first, and I defended myself.” Kanbe said, with a worried look on his face.

“No worries, it’s just that you are too important for this world. And so, these thugs are traitors to every single citizen of the world. This usually ends up in imprisonment in the best prison of this world, located in the city of Scidros, or just straight up execution for working with the dark lord.” Caroline explained as she tried to relax a bit.

Kanbe looked surprised by Caroline’s words, but those words could be understood by the young hero. If the hero was the only hope to fully eliminate a dark lord, that meant that his life was something that should be protected at all costs. That alone did fill some of Kanbe’s worries, but at the same time made him feel weak since he had issues stopping the thugs and had even suffered some wounds.

While the wounds were merely superficial wounds, they were a clear warning for Kanbe. All the wounds were real, the pain had been real, and that meant that he could die if he wasn’t careful enough.

“Either way, we should be going to the fields to handle some goblins and slimes then.

Caroline nodded while smiling, she knew exactly what was going on Kanbe’s head. And for her, that was perfect for her own plans. If the hero was cautious, and didn’t want to be in danger, he’d be close to Caroline from now on… Which was exactly what she would use to finish the hero once the duty called for it, taking advantage of the issues of being a known woman. Letting a few bandits try to hijack the ship that she planned to use to handle the hero, while also becoming the perfect bait for the mutated ship, was exactly what she could and would use.

It was a backup plan, but a backup plan that could solve any weird chance of the hero somehow finishing a level 60 monster like an archlich.

Archliches could be haughty, proud, and a headache to deal with since they were impossible to order around… But they worked well for cleaning up messes, specially since they had the special skill known as ‘Expedite Magic’. This special skill allowed the archliches to cast master level spells almost instantly without preparation, and the cooldown of said spells was lowered drastically.

“Okay, let’s go. The goblins have been busy with making the farmers lives quite impossible to handle. After all, the green vermin have been stealing chickens and dogs. For now, it’s not a thing that would be a problem, merely a good reason why to ask the guard to get handling that vermin or at least have the decency to ask the adventurers to do so. “ Caroline said as she seemingly looked angry.

Kanbe started thinking quickly about what Caroline said, and a quick idea passed through his mind. If the goblins were stealing chickens and dogs, that meant that they had a base nearby, but one that needed guarding dogs and was small enough to forget trying to get cows. Or maybe they didn’t have equipment for getting cows yet, but that remained to be seen.

What was clear was that they needed guarding dogs, so they needed more people… In short, it was a commune of goblins that wasn’t bigger than 20 goblins. Otherwise, they’d have taken a cow, as otherwise it would have been impossible to keep any sort of logistics without any crops.

“Less than 20 goblins, small base, they require guarding dogs. Or so I believe. A small commune at best, but we are two. 10 per each would be risky. How about we scout ahead first, find a way to smoke them out, and ambush them?” Kanbe said, considering the entire situations. ‘Dogs don’t like smoke at all, so probably the creatures they use as watchdogs will not like it at all. Ideal to make them run away. Alongside the fact of fighting goblins, by what Caroline has told me, the smoke should affect them more than normal people. Our ambush plan would be good enough, if we don’t mess up the scouting ahead part.’ Kanbe pondered, as he pondered the idea he had proposed.

Caroline looked amused, Kanbe had managed to guess all that with just the information that she could give to him. But on another side, she was livid because that meant that the hero was smart at times instead of just blatantly dense. The goblins would be not even a challenge if Kanbe was smart enough, and any trails the archlich left would rouse his suspicion.

“Well, that’s certainly smart of you… But I am sure you can handle the goblins on your own with this equipment. Of course, I will support you as much as I can.” Caroline said as she smiled widely at the hero. ‘Hopefully, we can check the cave and get the archlich to notice him. A good fire bullet would do.’ Caroline thought to herself, as she tried to prepare a way for her plan to still work.

Kanbe smiled widely, deciding to trust Caroline once more, and got ready for what would start the adventure of his life. A journey as the hero of this world, fated to defeat the dark lord that would come soon, with much to learn and with much to improve upon. But Kanbe hoped that if he did it well, he could somehow return to Earth and return to his family.

***

Far away from Kanbe's location, in the elven country of Rivialt… A man with rosy skin, long black hair, black eyes, a scar on his left cheek, and a small hexagram tattooed on his neck moved towards a small smithy located in the center of the capital.

This man was wearing a brown waistcoat with red stripes, a black vest below the waistcoat, a red shirt below the vest, a pair of brown gloves, long brown trousers, black Oxford shoes, and a black tophat.

This man was using a light brown cane that had the tip made of mythril, and the derby handle was golden with several engraved gems and had the shape of a dragon's head.

The cane had a small intricacy that no one noticed truly, which was a small silver piece in the area of the cane holder since the cane had a blade attached to the handle which was hidden by the rest of the cane.

As the man arrived at the smithy, a humble building compared to the refined buildings built around it, which was a three floor sized building made of stone with a massive chimney in the middle of the roof as it was filled with panels made of tempered glass clearly enchanted to make it absorb light and turn it into light, and similar windows all across the building that showed the insides of the building.

This building had a metallic door with a camera made of stone with a sapphire attached above the door, which recognized a client and opened once it was confirmed that the client wasn't a criminal.

Inside the building there was a clear distinction between the three floors. Which were the following:

The first floor was where the transactions were done, and below it there was the forge, which had wooden floor and stone walls that were filled of weapon racks, mostly swords or staves, several wooden tables and seats so the clients could talk with the blacksmiths to convey their commission, and a massive counter that blocked the path to the basements.

The second floor was a bar where the clients could wait for their weapons, when they had time to wait, whether it was due to repairs or getting a new one. This floor had porcelain tiles as floor, stone walls, and many seats and tables where the clients could sit down and be attended by a slave wearing a maid uniform, and very tall heels.

The third floor was a storage, but it was so high up that the man couldn't see exactly what was inside. But he knew what was inside, as he had investigated the entire place, and knew that most commissioned weapons ready for the transaction were there.

As the man walked inside the smithy, he saw a young elven boy of around 18 years old (in human years, as elves aged slowly), with black hair, slightly tanned skin, black eyes, a scar on his left cheek done by a scratch, with a stout constitution uncommon for elves.

This elven boy was wearing a butler outfit, black gloves, black Oxford shoes, a thick iron collar on his neck, and was going to the second floor while smiling.

"Excuse me, boy, could we talk? It's about a confidential issue of grand importance, in which you are connected to." The man said as he walked towards the elven boy.

"Oh, of course, sir…?" The elven boy said while looking at the man.

"Sir James Morrisille Articus. Recently anointed knight of Elstivia. Math and magic teacher in Flosais, investor in this country, and an acquaintance of the king. The bad tongues say that I work for Moriarty, the best assassin in the world, but I assure you that's not the case." James Morrisille introduced himself.

"Of course, sir! I will guide you to the storage so we can talk without disturbing the clients." The young elven boy said, as he quickly guided James Morrisille to the storage floor.

The storage floor was a floor that had a steel flooring, stone walls, and a stone roof. More than that, it was a chilly maze of boxes with weapons placed on the left side of the floor and refrigerators with bottles of beer, wine, and food on the right side of the floor.

As both walked near the refrigerators, to ensure no one would get around due to the chill coming out of the refrigerators, James Morrisille used the inventory to pull out a beer bottle and handed it to the boy.

"First, I must congratulate you. You are very lucky, getting Rayne Lefeleim out of the picture and blaming it on the children of Evan. They wouldn't say they didn't do it, because no one would believe them. And if the people fear an almost perfect retribution, it benefits their interests of not being attacked. Also, it would be a story easy to tell, and easy to remember." James Morrisille said, while the young elven boy started drinking from the bottle of beer.

"Ugh, this is so bitter! Is this how beer tastes? I don't know why others drink this!" The young elven boy said, as he tried to guide the conversation to other topics, clearly scared of being found out. 'In theory, slaves can't drink alcohol, so I can just make it seem like I am enjoying a godly treat. If he finds out the plan, I am dead! Princess Saida and I are this close to eloping!' The young boy thought to himself.

"No need to hide things, Donny. I caught you fully. You are the boyfriend that Saida is hiding. You helped an enemy of Rayne to kill him. Maybe one of his children, in an attempt to try to fix the family?" James Morrisille said while glaring at Donny, who finished the beer bottle desperately.

"Okay, okay! You caught me! I just got the message of the Black Flame Devil ready while hiding the old testament and placing the new testament while Elin killed Rayne. Elin told me that once I had that done, I would officially become a noble once she became the head of the family by becoming an anointed knight of Rivialt." Donny said, while looking tipsy, and scared.

"So merely you messed with the crime scene, just like you messed with the royal family? Props to you. I suppose you burned the old testament." James Morrisille said while smirking.

"Of course I did! Otherwise I would be caught sooner or later!" Donny exclaimed, while dropping the bottle, sweating and having his pupils dilated. The bottle had broken into many pieces, which were scattered across the floor.

"Props to the potions of permanent enhanced metabolism given to slaves, made it far faster than expected. The atropine worked as intended. Don't worry about the bottle, I will get the shards and clean up before leaving. A word of advice for your next life: Don't try eloping with a princess. It is not worth it. And allow me to fully introduce myself: I am Moriarty." Moriarty said while his smirk became a sadistic smile.

"You bastard! Why are you doing this!?" Donny exclaimed as he charged at Moriarty.

Moriarty chuckled while mana coursed through his body, as he quickly dodged the attack and Donny fell to the ground as he was too groggy due to the atropine to have a proper balance.

"Tachycardia and ataxia. That's the stuff. Once the paralysis and the coma happens, that's the cue for your death. But if you don't mind me, I will be cleaning the area a bit." Moriarty said as he calmly collected the bottle shards, putting them in the inventory. 'This should be good for a makeshift bomb.' Moriarty thought to himself as he collected the shards.

Donny couldn't even talk anymore, as he rested on the ground, suffering from the poisoning caused by Moriarty.

As Moriarty finished collecting all the shards, Donny exhaled for the last time in his life, so Moriarty shrugged as he started walking out of the storage.

'I suppose that since I wasn't caught by the camera thanks to Divine Cloak, I should use Perfect Disguise to leave.' Moriarty thought to himself as he circulated mana across his body, while getting a maid outfit, a steel collar, and black platform heels from the storage.

Moriarty scowled at the sight of the uniform, but it was the only outfit in the storage, so he used Perfect Disguise to turn into a brown haired girl with hazel eyes, a curvy body that suited the outfit perfectly, slightly tanned skin, and plump lips.

'If I must do this, at least, I get to choose how I look doing this. I have to remember to increase the tab on Katas for this. 10 gold coins instead of one. This bastard is going to pay me a fortune for having me do this like this.' Moriarty thought as he got changed into the outfit and left his clothes inside his inventory, while putting on the collar. He checked the name engraved on the collar, and saw it had 'Mary' as the name.

And so Moriarty went back to the second floor, as she was stopped by a rather short dwarf with short black hair, tanned skin, stout constitution, black eyes, a long braided beard which reached to the thighs.

This dwarf was wearing a thick black cotton shirt, denim pants, and a leather apron that covered the torso alongside the legs.

"Hey Mary, you must be new! I don't know you much, but get serving plates right away!" The dwarf said, with a clear frown on his face.

"O-Okay." Moriarty said as he faked a scared tone, and went to do his 'supposed' job as Mary.

While Moriarty worked as Mary, Rei and Sho arrived at the smithy while looking for Donny. This made Moriarty get slightly worried, he was confident in the fact that Perfect Disguise would cloak him, but he knew that he'd be under suspicion due to being new.

As the arcane hero walked to the storage, she found Donny dead on the floor due to the atropine, and she faked a very loud scream to alert everyone while looking like a ditzy girl. This made every single worker to walk inside the storage area, even Moriarty as he was forced to act like the rest to avoid suspicion, while looking at the dead Donny.

‘Nonetheless, even if you found the corpse, it just means that he was poisoned. It’ll be hard for you to recognize who the killer is. I didn’t use Reddie nor my sword, I used poison. In short: Not my usual MO. So it won’t be easy, I just have to play it off well and get away as soon as possible. I even chose the form of a former target, so if you find out this shape was a copy of a former target… Well, I will be safe nonetheless.’ Moriarty said as he smirked, while moving far into the back of the group to avoid further suspicion.

“We can assume that Donny was poisoned, right? But why? And why aim it at this moment? Especially when we were going to ask him, since his last job was a slave butler with Rayne Lefeleim as his boss? It’s like he knew something, and I suppose that’s why the killer wanted to kill him. So we can assume two options. A: It’s the killer who wants them dead. B: It’s someone who found out who the killer was, and like, took advantage for themselves.” Rei said, as she placed her left finger on her lower lip, to look like a ditzy idiot.

‘You know, I don’t know if this idiot is just an idiot, or she’s just playing with all of us. This idiot should just shut up.’ Moriarty thought as he considered running away, with some stealth, before the girl discovered something she shouldn’t discover.

“So, well, we discovered the testament. But this death adds a spin to that mess. Maybe someone of the family got the hit going just to prevent an info leakage. But if so, that means that someone in the family desired to silence him for a reason. Either way, we are not investigating that. We just wanted to ask his testimony. I suppose that a mentalist will suffice to check his information.” Sho said, as he pondered a few things about his death.

“Yeah, I guess that’s how it’ll go. But we could investigate a bit about his death. Because if it was to silence him, maybe it has some importance with the case, Sho.” Rei said, with a worried look.

“But why him first instead of burning the testament letter? Unless it was false, but we lack the information to confirm that theory.” Sho retorted, with a serious face.

“Well, I guess we will have to wait until a mentalist gets him. So might as well teleport him away, but not before interrogating everyone.” Rei said while looking at Sho.

Moriarty took a deep breath, and decided to leave as he walked quickly out of the shops and taking off the collar. As soon as he found a dark alley to hide, he hid in it and changed back to his usual outfit while making sure to turn back to normal. Once he was back to his usual outfit and form, he threw the clothes he used as Mary while leaving a trail of monster blood to make it seem like Moriarty attacked Mary and killed her.

After all the prep work, he used his speed and the skills like Sky Jump, Stealth Step, and Mana Breathing to rush towards the castle in order to make it seem like he was far away from the scene and pin it on Perfect Disguise the supposed memory of sir James and the deceased Donny.

‘In case that the mentalist find that out, I can use Perfect Disguise and Divine Cloak as an alibi. I just need that the king talks with me. From the smithy to the castle, there’s around 30 minutes at the highest speed without Ninja or other mobility skill trees. If I use Divine Cloak to change my status sheet when that gal uses Full Analyze, I can hide my status and ensure that I look like an ideal mathematician. Then, if they question me about Donny’s memories, I can disclose about Perfect Disguise, and they’ll believe that Moriarty uses different forms to follow his targets and aim for the perfect kill. It’ll be an annoyance in the long term, as that information will make me unable to abuse Perfect Disguise, since it’ll be known as part of my style. But I can always take out the data they have, and kill that bitch and her bitch boy along the way, as I prepare to take vacations. Deeper Understanding and Percipience are saving me this time around, now I understand why Isaac is so good at being a detective. Okay, it’s a decent plan. Evan would be laughing at me right now, saying that I did a half-measure and should have poured sulfuric acid on Donny’s head.’ Moriarty thought to himself as he moved towards the castle.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

As he moved quickly across the roofs of the city, he noticed a weird source of mana above ground, but didn’t pay any attention to it as he was hurrying to the castle to avoid being caught without a prepared alibi.

That said, he saw someone covered in a dirty cloak rushing towards the smithy. Moriarty couldn't care less for that smithy right now, as he had the plan ready for the alibi and securing his own safety, and wouldn’t risk it for a group of people he didn’t know and couldn’t care less about.

And so, Moriarty kept going towards the castle as his tophat shivered for a moment. As if something was inside the tophat, and clearly did notice something that Moriarty did not. Something that could be a problem for the creature inside the tophat, and its wearer.
