New Mornings comes with New Troubles

Chapter 4

This conversation happened 3 days before Asher came to the world of Terrafis.

The 5 members of the Asekoth Kingdom’s council are now gathered inside the conference room located within the Castle Hovan to talk about something that might change the future of their kingdom.

[Councilor???] “You’ll be marrying who!?”

[Alfern] “I said, I’ve decided to marry Diana.”

The stout middle aged man, who shouted words full denial as he bangs the table with his fist, is Council member BarquesLecrof. Though he is a member of the Council, Barques is also a Duke that owns a land, closest to capital city Hovan where the castle is raised.

Alfern finally decided to wed Diana, but only if her son will agree to it.

[Councilor Barques] “What do you mean, that woman is an outsider, a person from another world! You can’t just decide that without informing the Council first!”

[Alfern] “That is why I’m telling you now Barques, and another thing…”

With a sudden gust of wind twirling around the council room, Barques felt shivers in his spine as he look at Aflern’s glare.

[Alfern] “Since when did I need permission from you or the Council if I’m allowed to wed someone?”

Probably due to Alfern’s appearance, Barques forgot about his manners towards him, even though Alfern knew Barques back when he was a child. But even though he knew him for a long time, it wouldn’t mean that he could call his beloved an outsider.

[Councilor ???] “Now, now everyone calm down, I know this might come to a surprise, but Lady Diana is a pleasant woman.”

The other councilor who is presently trying to stop the heavy atmosphere is Councilor Kran Hugo, a young 30 year old member and also an Earl that lives within Hovan city.

[Councilor Kran] “Please great uncle…I mean, your highness, Duke Barques was merely speaking what is best for the kingdom.”

[Councilor ???] “I’m going to have to decline on Duke Barques on this one.”

As for the one that is opposed on Barques’ refusal, is a woman that is about 50 in age, Emmeline Adda, the Duchess that also own a land within the kingdom. She has a face with a few numbers of wrinkles coupled with a few gray hair, but one could still see a strong beauty.

[Councilor Emmeline] “I have spoken to Lady Diana once before, she is actually very intelligent and quite good when it comes to managing things.”

[Councilor ???] “I agree with Arch-Duchess Emmeline, it’s about time to have another woman be a part of the council. Isn’t that right, Earl Torin?”

[Councilor Torin] “I do not mind for Lady Diana to be our queen as long as she does what she need to, but…”

TorinBreccan, a brown skinned 30 year old Earl that not only looks fierce but also a famous knight.

As for the other person who called out to Torin, is the 2nd female member of the council, Lurel Remington, another member who is given the title of Countess.

After listening to every opinion of the council members, the most law abiding of them all, Torin has the final say.

[Councilor Torin] “The law of this kingdom says that the royal family can only be Djinns. As I recall Lady Diana is no Djinn but a mere human woman.”

[Councilor Barques] “Th—that’s right, that wo—Lady Diana can’t be part of the royal family if she isn’t a Djinn! So—”

[Alfern] “I’ll be taking care of that, but only if her son agrees. But if he does, I don’t want to hear anything from any of you! Do all you understand!?”

With the word of their king, the Councilors weren’t able to say anything to refuse him.

The council members we’re surprised to hear Alfern’s determined answer.

Since the last time that a human was turned into a Djinn was about 500 years ago, so isn’t strange for the council to not have that kind of knowledge. As for the reason for Aflern knowing this knowledge is because Alfern himself was change from human to Djinn by his late wife.

[Alfern] (Now if only Diana’s son would agree to our marriage, I might at least have a chance.)

But in the end, Alfern’s worries we’re quickly disposed since Asher and his energetic mother Diana spoke the words that Alfern thought would take time for them to answer.

[Asher] “Sure, I’m cool with it.”

[Diana] “I’m alright with it too.”

Those words were spoken last night as if the offer that Alfern gave wasn’t even a concern. The answer was given within only a minute.

That night Alfern was at a dazed when hearing the mother-son combo, after all, the answer their going to give will change their future as well as their well being. But they didn’t even pounder deeply, in fact they looked excited.

[Diana] “Do you think when I become a Djinn I’ll get taller?”

[Asher] “Come on Mom, you shouldn’t ask for the impossible.”

[Diana] “What was that!? What’s wrong for asking for long and beautiful legs!? Hey Alf, I’m going to get taller once I become a Djinn right!?”

With Diana’s voice calling out to him, Alfern snapped out o f his daze. While looking at Diana full of anticipation, Alfern gave her his honest answer.

[Alfern] “Actually, ever since I’ve become a Djinn years ago, I haven’t grown myself either.”

[Diana] “Wha—what?”

While Diana showed a depressed look and Asher excitingly thinks about his possibilities of him using magic, Alfern quickly remembers Asher’s words and smiles warmly while watching the two.

[Alfern] (So they trust me that much…family, huh? Well, I guess I shouldn’t disappoint.)

With the Alfern’s trouble quickly solved, he has decided to show Diana and Asher a room that only the royal family knows and kept for more than a thousand years.

A new day has come and a certain young princess has woken from her sleep. With her huge bed along with its big blanket, she struggles for a bit just to get out of the covers.

Finally getting out of the covers, she rubs her eyes while looking around her room while wearing her dress in a messy manner.

[Ifca] “……………………”

With half open eyes, she continues to look around while still in a daze. She then noticed that she was holding something.

[Ifca] “……………………”

It was a small tea spoon.

At first she was wondering as to why would she be holding on to a spoon, but she quickly remembers the new family that made her very delicious food.

[Ifca] “…………..Brother Person…”

She quickly gets off of her bed and ran towards her bedroom door.

Last time when she finds out that a man will be living right next to her, she was not only dissatisfied, but also scared. But when she got to know her new brother, she quickly got close to him. Though her fear of men didn’t disappear, she happily runs towards her older brother’s room.

She quickly held the doorknob and opened the door without even knocking.

[Ifca] “………….Its morning….Brother Person……………?”

But the older brother she was looking for wasn’t in his room. She walks in while looking left and right, thinking that he might be at a corner that she couldn’t see. But unfortunately, Asher wasn’t in his room.

[Alowey] “Hmm? Ifca? Is something wrong?”

[Ifca] “……………Sister Person…”

Hearing the voice of her older sister, Ifca found Alowey peeking from outside the door. Seeing as Ifca is already inside,

Alowey walks in and also looks around.

[Alowey] “Huh? Isn’t Asher in here? It’s still early in the morning, so where could he be? I wanted to have a morning talk to him, but…”

As she walks towards Ifca, she noticed that her younger sister is holding something on her left hand.

[Alowey] “Ifca, why are you holding a tea spoon? Could it be that you’re hungry?”

[Ifca] “*Shake*………….No…”

*Grumble*

[Ifca] “*Nod*………….Yes…”

[Alowey] “Fufu~ shall we head to the kitchen then? We’ll look for Asher together later, Ok?”

[Ifca] “*Nod* …………..Yes…”

Deciding to look for Asher later, the two sisters started to make their way towards the dining room while holding hands.

[Alowey] “Hmm? Ifca, where are you—“

Or at least that was the plan, since Ifca is leading them; Alowey had no choice but to follow Ifca and headed to the kitchen.

[Deloria] “Is it alright to put the eggs here, Sir Asher?”

[Asher] “Yeah, thanks.”

Hearing not only his name but also his own voice as well as the voice of someone Alowey grew up with, Alowey and Ifca walks towards the kitchen in a fast pace.

[Asher] “Alright, looks like I have all the things I need, I can finally start cooking—hmm? Oh hey there Princess and Alowey, morning.”

[Alowey] “Um…yes good morning to you too Asher.”

With the sudden appearance of not only 1 but 2 royal princesses, the maids inside the kitchen quickly bowed in respect as they greeted them in unison, causing Asher to twitch in surprise.

Without anyone noticing, Ifca had already walk pass them and is now tugging on Asher’s pants.

[Ifca] “………….Brother Person…morning…”

[Asher] “Good morning to you too, Princess. You had a nice sleep?”

[Ifca] “*Nod*……good……sleep…”

After saying their greetings, Ifca notice that Asher was holding a strange looking bucket.

[Asher] “Hmm? Oh, are you looking at this? I made this with a broken bucket and a cloth. I’ll use it to sift the flour.”

[Ifca] “………………sift?”

With a word that she has never heard of before, Ifca showed a questioning look, or to be more precise, she made a questioning atmosphere. Asher quickly felt what she was trying to say, so Asher told Ifca what he was planning.

[Asher] “I’ll be making Pancakes for today’s breakfast.”

[Ifca] “……Pan…………cake…?”

[Deloria] “Is it some kind of sweetened food?”

Ifca made another questioning atmosphere around her, since she heard words that she never heard of from her older brother again.

Asher answered ‘Yes it is.’ with a grin.

Deloria, who is standing next to Asher, had sparkle in her eyes.

Though Asher was surprised to know that they never heard of a cake before, he concealed that train of thought and started to explain what he is about to do.

[Asher] “Now watch what I’m about to do. Fist I put some 2 cups of flour, 1 and ½ teaspoon of salt and then 2 teaspoon of sugar in the bucket—uh, I mean the Sift that I made.

I then shake the Sift to make the flour, salt and sugar, while they fall to a bowl I place below it. See how they became soft and smooth?”

[Deloria] “Wow, your right.”

[Asher] “Now since we’re done with sifting, we take 3 and ½ melted butter 2 large eggs, 2 and ¼ cups of milk inside the bowl and mix them all together.”

[Emma] “Morning girls, it’s time to—whoa, what’s happening in here?”

While Asher mixes the ingredients, the head chef came walking in and got surprised seeing so many people inside the kitchen.

[Alowey] “Oh, good morning Mrs. Emma.”

[Emma] “Good morning princess…so, why are there so many people in the kitchen?”

But before Alowey answers, Emma quickly notices the only man inside the kitchen.

[Emma] “Ah, could it be that Sir Asher is cooking again?”

Alowey thought that Emma would get angry, since someone that only got here in the castle yesterday, is now using the kitchen as he please, but what Alowey thought was the exact opposite.

[Emma] “It’s a good thing I got myself some paper with me.”

Ever since Emma watched Asher cook last night, she quickly found out that there is more to cooking that she already knows. Though Emma is given the title to be one of the greatest cooks in the kingdom, finding out that the hot air that heated water releases can be used for cooking surprised her.

[Emma] “Ah, but he might not want to tell me, this kind of knowledge is important.”

With Emma’s bright smile slowly becoming gloomy, Alowey quickly responded.

[Alowey] “I don’t think you have to worry about that Mrs. Emma, after all he has been cooking out in the open for the other to see.”

[Emma] “Now that I see it, I guess you’re right princess, thanks.”

With a slightly quick pace, Alowey and Emma walk closer to where Asher is cooking.

[Asher] “Now that the mix is ready, time for me to ready the syrup and—hmm, hey Mrs. Emma, good morning.”

[Emma] “Morning to you too Sir Asher, what are you making today?”

With a slight excited tone, Emma asks Asher what he is doing and Asher quickly answered.

Again, Emma heard another name of a dish she never heard of. Though she was a little reluctant, Emma asks him if it was possible for her to help on making today’s breakfast.

[Asher] “Really? Thanks Mrs. Emma that would be great.”

With Asher’s usual grin, he took out a frying pan, but the only difference was that this frying pan didn’t have its cylinder sides and what even more odd is its seems to be a bit wider.

Again, that was a first thing not only to Emma but to the other maids as well. Upon seeing a new shaped frying pan, the maids try to remember if they ever had a frying pan such as that, and of course Emma is also in deep thought.

But no matter how hard they try, they just couldn’t remember so Emma, who couldn’t hold her curiosity anymore, asks.

[Asher] “Oh this? I made it with the frying pan that was outside the door, it had a big dent on it so I just fixed it up and change its shape a bit.”

Not only are Emma and the maids surprised, but also Alowey and Deloria.

[Alowey] “Asher, does that mean you used a forge to make this?”

[Asher] “Not really a forge, I used the Fire Stone to make the metal softer and just hammered away.”

Though the ladies weren’t rally knowledgeable when it comes to forging, they knew enough that one would need enough experience to make even a frying pan.

[Deloria] “Is Sir Asher a black smith in your previous home?”

[Asher] “Hmm, I guess you could say that, I had a few part-time jobs that required me to make things with metal. (I’ll leave about me lying about my age.)”

[Emma] “I see, no wonder this was the first time seeing it, but if you used an old frying pan, why does it look new?”

When Emma mentioned something about an old dented frying pan, she suddenly remembers the she was the one who threw it away, but as she recall, the frying pan she threw away was old and rusty.

[Asher] “I made it look new by use some lemons in that basket.”

[Everyone] “Eh?”

With everyone making a confused looked, Asher explains why he used lemons to clean metal.

[Asher] “You see Lemons actually have a high citric acid inside their juice, with its use it interacts with oxidized metal and since I this frying pan is mostly made out of copper, I was able to make it shiny again.”

When Asher was done explaining, the ladies grew even more confused.

[Deloria] “Ox…oxi…oxiiee?”

[Emma] “I never knew lemons can clean, but who is this Citric, a spirit or something?”

Seeing their reactions, Asher she told them that ‘It cleans well and it smells nice, so isn’t it fine?’, as he sighs in his mind.

But not all of them we’re listening to Asher and got confused, Ifca on the other hand keeps staring at the pancake mix that is in the bowl.

[Ifca] “*Sniff* *sniff*”

After a good whiff, Ifca who is too short to see what the bowl on top of the table contains, raises her hand and dips her pointing finger onto the mix.

[ifca] “*Nom*………!?”

It was another taste she has never tasted before. She then grabs a chair and pulls towards the table. After climbing up, she is now ready to dip her finger once again. But…

[Asher] “You thought I wouldn’t notice, didn’t you Princess?”

Though her face didn’t change much, besides her eyes slightly widened, the atmosphere that Asher could feel around her says ‘Oh no, I’ve been found out!’ as she continues to look at Asher.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

Ifca know that she did something she wasn’t supposed to that is why she is ready to be scolded, but Asher in the other hand knows that what she did was actually close to being a ritual when it comes to pancake mix. He did the same thing back when he was a kid after all.

[Asher] “So, how does it taste Princess?”

[Ifca] “………*Nod*………….good.”

[Asher] “So the taste is OK. That’s good.”

With a single nod and a whispering answer, Ifca blushes as she looks away from the grinning Asher.

[Deloria] “That looks nice…”

Asher then notice Deloria staring at Ifca while having her own finger on her lower lip with a bit of saliva dripping down her chin.

With the look she’s making, Asher has now confirmed that Deloria is without a doubt a sweet tooth.

Asher wanted to start cooking, but seeing Deloria with pleading eyes, Asher couldn’t help himself but ask her if she wanted to do the same.

[Deloria] “C—can I really!? Ah…*Ahem* I mean, please don’t concern yourself with me.”

[Ahser] “No really it’s alright.” (Besides, even though you say that, I could clearly see your body shaking. She must be really holding herself back.)

[Deloria] “W—wellif you really insist, then I won’t hold back!”

[Asher] (That was a quick change of thought.)

While carrying a wary smile, Asher noticed Alowey and the others staring, so he offered them to do the same. But instead of their fingers, the use spoons and quickly the mix.

[Asher] “Oh no, better go stop them before…”

While Asher watch the girls from behind, he realized that whenever this offer appears the one that was offered to tends to eat most of the mix.

Asher quickly dashed in the middle and lifts the bowl to the air, luckily Asher’s height is 6 feet so the girls couldn’t reach the mix, unfortunately,the girls eyes followed the bowl as if it’s some sort of pray, this scene made Asher feel like he is standing on a stool while lions circle around him.

[Asher] “W—wait a minute, the food isn’t ready yet. So… please let me live—I mean let me finish it.”

[Emma] “Eh, it isn’t done yet? Isn’t it good this way?”

The head chef Emma, who kept her distance while she takes notes, thought that the food called Pancake was already done since everyone seems to like it, was surprised to hear that it wasn’t even finished yet.

In Asher’s explanation, the Pancake still has to be cooked over a hot flat pan, covered in butter. Since Asher saw the method on how to use the Fire Stone, he quickly starts a fire and spread the butter over the pan.

While the butter melts in the pan, Asher scoped some of the mix with the use of a cup used for pouring milk on tea cups.

The butter quickly melts and Asher slowly pours the mix into the pan. While doing so, he was able to make a perfect circle.

[Emma] “So it’s kind of like baking bread, just note using the oven. I see…”

The head chef quickly takes notes as she watches the mix cook. As for the others, they simply kept watching while Asher watches the mix. But for someone short like Ifca, she hopped and hopped and yet she still couldn’t see anything, luckily her new older brother carried her with his left arm while he continues to watch over the pan.

The side of the mix started to become brown, making it a signal for Asher to flip it and cook the other side and with just a few minutes, the other side of the mix is done and Asher placed it on a plate.

[Asher] “Here it is, a simple Pancake.”

As soon as Asher places it on the table, Ifca quickly tear a piece with her bare hands, thus being scolded by Alowey for showing bad manners. But even so, she ignored Alowey’s scolding and eats the Pancake.

[Ifca] “………hmm!?……….mmm…”

With a satisfying sound, Ifca’s still unchanging expression, blushed.

Seeing this, Deloria quickly grabs a fork and cuts a piece; Alowey and the others followed her lead.

[Deloria] “Whoa…it’s…it’s so soft and sweet…mmm.”

When Alowey and the other ladies put their fork into their mouths, their cheeks suddenly blush and smile with joy.

The ladies along with Ifca continue to eat the pancake and since their number are a lot, the pancake quickly disappears.

Wanting to eat some more, they look at Asher direction but only seeing him occupied with something else.

He already started another fire and placed a small pot, he then poured some water, a cup of sugar and he then crushes some strawberries and once again poured them into the pot.

[Asher] “Hmm~mm…”

Seeing this scene was a first to the women of Terrafis, for some reason most of the household chores are done by women, especially when it comes to cooking. As soon as the boys of this world come to an age, they quickly enlist themselves to become soldiers, hoping to gain knighthood or register themselves as Adventurers and see the unexplored world.

But seeing a man in the kitchen as he hums a melody as he stirs the mixture in the pot is truly a first for them.

They wanted to ask for some more, but they held back and continue to watch Asher cook, all except for two.

[Emma] “So once the sides turn brown, that’s when you flip it…I see, and the butter was their so it wouldn’t stick to the pan…”

Since it’s another food she has never seen or tasted before, the head chef Emma is now taking notes with a serious impression.

As for Ifca, she’s already made her way towards Asher and is now tugging his pants.

[Ifca] “……………No more?...”

[Asher] “Hmm? Oh, I guess everyone finished it already, then again it was only one piece, so I guess that’s normal.”

[Ifca] “……………No more?...”

[Asher] “I wanted to cook more but…”

Though Ifca was pleading, Asher couldn’t let go of what he’s making now.

While he thinks of a way, Emma saw this as a chance and asks Asher to help.

[Asher] “Really? Thanks, can you make some pancakes for me? If I leave this without stirring, it’ll burn.”

[Emma] “I watched you do it Sir Asher, so you can leave it to me.”

With a confident smile, she quickly starts cooking.

[Asher] “Just wait for a few more minutes Princess; as soon as I’m done with everything we’ll start eating breakfast.”

After a few minutes, Asher is done making some sort of thick sticky red liquid and poured it at a small bowl. Without even stopping, he then starts something else.

He cracks some eggs and separates the yolk from the egg whites, with the egg whites placed in another bowl, he the put a half cup of sugar and started to stir them rapidly.

The girls were shocked to see the egg whites started to thicken.

Then lastly, Asher pours a cup of milk but he did it carefully as he continues to stir it. As he keeps stirring the egg whites, he kneeled down and faced Ifca.

[Asher] “Hey Princess, can you do me a favor? Can you do that cold magic for me again?”

[Ifca] “…………*Nod*…alright…”

With Asher’s words, she quickly cast a spell without chanting and the air around the bowl that Asher is holding starting to get cold and quickly hardens the egg white.

[Asher] “Wow, seriously Princess your magic is really amazing.”

He pats her head along with some compliments made Ifca’s unchanging facial expression blush slightly.

[Asher] “Alright, now that I’m done with the Cream and the Strawberry Syrup, all I have to do now is organize it with the pancakes.”

While holding on to 2 different bowls, he walks to a nearby table and waits for Emma to finish.

[Emma] “Here they are still warm form the frying pan.”

Emma was able to finish fast since she asks the other maids to help her by using the other pans they usually used.

[Asher] “Great, now to fix them properly…”

With an empty plate, Asher place one piece of pancake and then spreads the cream on its surface, after that he once again placed another pancake and spreads another layer of cream.

He was about to finish, but then he asks one of the maid that was watching him for a clean bag made out of cloth, scissors, 3 piece of paper, a needle and some thread.

When all the items he asks for came, he cuts the tip end of the cloth and made a small cone from the paper, he then cuts a star shaped on the paper cone’s tip slip it inside the bag. Since the bag had its tip cut, the paper cone is now exposed. Lastly he stitches the paper cone and the bag together.

With the weird object he made, Asher puts some cream inside and then points it at the top of the two layered pancake.

[Alowey] “Th—that’s looks amazing!”

[Deloria] “How in the…”

[Ifca] “………………..Hm!?...”

Asher was able to make his own make-shift Syringe.

Not only are royal sisters and Deloria is impressed, the same goes for Emma and the other maids that are now watching.

The cream on top of the pancake now looks like a white crown with a pointed tip and with Asher’s finishing touches; some sliced strawberries and the strawberry syrup on top of the cream, a never before seen food is now ready.

[Asher] “There you go, one serving of Strawberry Cream Pancake.”

This Pancake that Asher has made not only looks delicious, but it also has an artistic sense to it.

[Asher] “This is our breakfast for today, so with that said, your girls wouldn’t mind helping me would they, Mrs. Emma?”

With the help of Emma and the maids, they were able to makes 15 or 20 plates of Strawberry Cream Pancakes in less than 15 minutes and the new family once again had an enjoyable time together.

In a city 3 or 4 days away from the capital, is a man that is wearing a big brown cloak, hides himself in the shadows as he makes his way to a certain pub.

The pub’s named ‘The Other Side’ is famous for being the hang outs for outlaws and other dangerous individuals and the man in a cloak came to this dangerous location to fins 2 people to do his biddings.

[Bouncer] “Hold it, where the hell do you think you’re going?”

[??? Man] “I’m here looking for some Elves.”

[Bouncer] “Ha!? This isn’t a slave shop, if you want to buy some slaves then go—“

[??? Man] “I’m not talking about that, what I want is to talk to the twins.”

[Bouncer] “Th—the Twins!? I don’t know what you need them for, but their inside right now.”

By simply mentioning the ‘Twins’, the big and robust bouncer slightly trembled and quickly lets the man in, no questions asked.

With the burst of laughter and the sound of braking objects, men holding the waitresses in a lusty manner, this was an everyday scene inside the pub named ‘The Other Side’.

The man walks carefully, not to be noticed by others. He dodges and makes way for the drunken men so that he wouldn’t make any trouble.

With steps full of caution, he was able to make it to the counter.

[Owner] “So, what will it be?”

[??? Man] “I’m not here to get a drink, I’m here looking for the Twins. I’ve heard they mostly stay here to get some drinks.”

At first, the owner stayed silent as he watches the man in a brown cloak. He was actually planning to throw the man away, but he quickly changed his mind when the cloaked man gave him a small pouch filled with 5 gold coins.

With a smile that shows 2 missing teeth, the owner looks up and said…

[Owner] “If you’re looking for the two, their at the second—“

*Crash!*

[Drunk Man] “Gyaaaa!”

[Owner] “—floor…”

The owner wasn’t able to finish since a man came falling down from above and landed on a table, the fallen man quickly lost his unconscious. The cloaked man walks closer towards the unconscious man and notice that his body as well as his face is full of cuts.

[???] “Try that again once you’ve gotten stronger! You stinking weak human!”

Suddenly hearing a beautiful yet piercing voice, the cloaked man looks up and found a woman that is wearing clothes that only hides her chest and her crotch while exposing everything else.

Though she has a body similar to a human beings’ her skin color is a shade of purple, long violet hair that is tied to the right side of her head and long pointed ears, though not as long and pointed as a Djinn’s.

After looking down on the unconscious man full of disappointment and disgust, she walks back inside the hole she made. But when she turned around, her bare butt could be seen as if she isn’t even wearing anything.

[??? Man] “Co—could it be that…”

[Owner] “Yup, that’s one of the twins you’re looking for.”

With a small smile, the cloaked man makes his way to the stairs and readied himself.

*Knock* *Knock*

Though one of the twins made a hole on the wooden wall, the cloaked man still used the door and knocked. He doesn’t want to offend them after all.

[???] “Come on in, if you’re a friend of the guy who just flew, then hurry up and get inside we’ll take care of you quickly!”

With a threatening voice, the cloaked man slowly opens the door.

[??? Man] “I’m not with that man; I’m here to offer both of you a job.”

[???] “…………………….Alright, come on in.”

Since there was no hostility in the reply, the cloaked man carefully enters the room.

Inside, the cloaked man found the Night Elf woman that was responsible of throwing the presently unconscious man and to his left is a woman who is identical to the one on his right sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. They both have perfectly toned bodies with ample chests, they both have the same skin color, ears and even clothes; the only difference amongst both of them is their hair color. The first Night Elf he saw has violet hair, as for the on his left, she has slightly dark blue that is tied on the left.

[??? # 1] “So, you have a job for us?”

[??? # 2] “This job better be worth our time.”

[??? Man] “You don’t have to worry about that, the job I’ll be giving both of you will not only pay well but also the location of you target will be challenging. So, will you girls accept my job?”

The two Night Elves looks at each other with their silver eyes and for a few minutes, they both show gleaming smiles.

[??? # 1] “So what do you think, shall we take his offer? He said the pay is good after all.”

[??? # 2] “Not only that, he did say that it would be challenging, wouldn’t that mean we’ll also have fun?”

With smiles as if they came from innocent children, makes the two Night Elves look charming. But even so, the cloaked man could still feel danger inside their smiles.

As they continue to look at each other, they slowly held each other’s hands and made their almost naked bodies touch each other in a provocative manner, drawing their faces closer as if they’re about to kiss.

With slight moaning sounds coming from the twins, the cloaked man looks away for feeling slightly disturbed as he waits for the twins’ answer.

[??? # 1] “Alright, we accept the job.”

[??? # 2] “But if you lied to us, we will hunt you down.”

The cloaked man smiles at the two after hearing a positive answer.

[??? Man] “I assure you, it would be an entertaining task Ms…um…”

[??? # 1] “Oh right, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet, have we?”

The blue haired Night Elf walks closer and gave her name.

[???] “I am Hail.”

Then the other Night Elf came after.

[???] “I am Gail.”

[Hail & Gail] “We are the Assassins for Hire.”

With this, the cloaked man’s schemes of overtaking the kingdom of Asekoth and gaining the powerful body of a Djinn, commence.
