Chapter 67: Noble in hiding?
The unknown man who was fully covered and delivered the letter to the person inside the cave left, few minutes after the guy left, there was a click sound from the unlocking of the package.
"I have revealed my location again." The voice from the dark spoke in frustration.
"I have to complete this task, there\'s no other option than to deal with it and change my location as soon as possible." The voice mumbled as the owner of voice decided on his next course of action.
Earth breaking sounds erupted from the inside of the cave.
"It seems I don\'t have to pump you with my ki anymore." Old and big hand full of calluses grabbed on a handle like thing emerging from the ground.
The two hands looked weak but it contained immense strength, the handle was pulled out by those hands.
A terrifying aura era erupted from the ground, the dark in the cave was lighted by the eerie red aura from the weapon, a war hammer.
"Hey mom, we are back." Kino announced out loudly for her mother to hear. He had arrived just now after eating a delicious meal with his mother\'s good friend, Rae.
"Did you thank Rae for taking you out for the meal?" Lucy asked, it had taken her a good long time to clean herself up. She did not prepare the meal.
Kino nodded in reply to his mother\'s question.
"Alright now, you go and rest Kino." Lucy signalled for Kina to rest. He was a kid and had a routine to follow. Kino reluctantly went to his room, leaving the adults alone.
"Is it about the royal academy thing?" Rae asked her, it felt to him that Lucy was in the mood to have a talk.
"Yes and No, I was wondering if you have decided to give visit to the academy but that is not important. What I wanted to know was whether you or your background will be the part of the upcoming chaos?"
Lucy knew that the kingdom was in great chaos. She had her sources and it occurred to her that people in power were preparing their forces, for whatever that was coming.
She was weak and did not want to be associated with the wrong side, if an unsuccessful coup was to occur.
"I do not belong to the wrong side, as a matter of fact you look really beautiful right now."
Rae said honestly
Lucy was attentively listening to Rae before he started to flirt.
"Honestly, I don\'t even belong to any sides and yes, you do look beautiful..." Rae said before using his innovative techniques to leave her house immediately.
"That guy, hehe" Lucy laughed as she realised that Rae had left. He answered her, cleared her doubts but still maintained the air of secrecy around him.
"The message from that girl? He took it with him, hmm. Evasive as always." She had put the letter from that girl Freya on the table for Rae. She wanted to hand it to him as always.
To her surprise, not only did he leave her without completing their serious talk, but he also took the letter with him, as if he had known what she would say and totally predicted her actions.
Jeremy and Scott were on their way back to the academy. The academy was situated around two days away from the mercenary hall where they had submitted their mission.
They were a day away from the academy as they had already travelled for a day, the area where the academy was situated was vast and had wilderness close to it for training purposes.
Due to the danger from beasts, Jeremy and his group had to travel slowly. It was already dusk and the group was preparing to lay low and camp at the place.
They spread out to do their chores as it would be unwise for them to travel alone in dark. The food was prepared, they had it packed from the mercenary town, just in case they did not want to cook on their way back.
"Now that we are done with the dinner, who\'s going to be standing guard first? Jeremy asked the important question.
From their experience in the wild, a team of two was enough for them to stand guard and take a full rest. They had teams of two Freya and Jeremy, Emma and Scott.
"It would be me and Emma first." Scott answered, Emma did not reject which meant she was in favor of the opinion.
"Alright then, wake us up before you get to rest and please do not light fire." Jeremy requested, his mind full of the bad experiences from the week in wilderness.
"Alright, goodnight" Scott answered
Minutes passed and then hours, the moon was reflecting it\'s light in full glory. They did not need to light a fire as the moon was close to a full one, successfully lighting the area.
"You are not going to train today?" Emma asked Scott, similar to herself, Scott was also a swordsman.
He was stronger than her although he was less agile than her but he could still beat up Emma in most terrains.
Normally, Scott was not the one to skip his practice, so she asked him about it.
"Not really, but what about you?, you look very different from before." Scott grinned lewdly as he looked at her sexy body.
Her curvy ass seated on the rock lying on the ground looked soft and mushy. Her boobs which she had decided to provocatively reveal were almost out, except for her pink areolas.
Scott looked at her sexy body from top to bottom as his hungry eyes lingered on Emma\'s huge breasts, moving as she breathed.
"You have noticed, I see." Emma bent over, facing Scott, her huge breasts were fully visible to Scott barely hidden by her thin and small blouse.
"Unfortunately, the man I dressed up for did not notice the change in me." Emma sighed in sadness as she sat back straight, leaving Scott speechless and horny.
