Chapter 85 - Hiding Under The Desk
After all that practicing, I think I can perform well. Although in the end, most of it will need improvisation.
I also change my voice with the help of air magic. With Victoria's advice, I alter my voice by breathing in Helium. Of course so that I won't die, I need to exchange the Helium with Oxygen some time.
My voice is really funny. I just hope that the king will focus more on what I say rather than my voice.
Now it's already evening and I am preparing to sneak in again to the palace.
"Hey, Roy. You can trespass the king's palace easily but why can't you do it at the governor's place at Melk?"
"I entered the king's palace through the hidden passage. The security is tighter because it's the place where the king rest and do his jobs. But not many of them knew about the hidden passages.
As for the governor's place, there's no hidden passage. It means most of the people there should be related to the cult. That's why the members of the cult can enter and leave the governor's place freely. Unless I want to raise commotion, I can't enter it. I need to have some kind of invisibility technique to enter through the door since all of the windows are locked."
I answered Victoria's question.
Although the security is tighter in the king's palace, the governor's place is much harder to sneak into.
"You know what? Hidden passages are supposed to be a secret and hidden in the most inconspicuous place. And you just entered them easily."
"It's all thanks to Divine Vision. If not for these, I don't think I can go to the king. Now, shall we go?"
Victoria wrapped around my body and turned into Ninja's outfit. And then we sneaked into the capital and enter the palace through a hidden passage.
Then I entered the king's chamber when no one is around. Not even the peeping tom.
I hid myself under the desk. Sitting under the desk while hugging my knees.
Since this chamber is where the king and the queen rest, the king never takes his works here. Maybe he did it in consideration of the queen's pregnancy.
The queen is taking a bath right now. Helped by palace maids.
I have no interest in pregnant women or taking the wives of other people. So I don't peek on the queen for long.
But the maids are all… Wow!
Does being hot is a necessary requirement for being hired as a maid?
Let's stop here and focus on the task.
…focus on what? All I'm doing now is waiting.
I'll just spend this time reassessing about the king from what I knew in my past life.
His name is Albert Tatrama. King of Tatrama Kingdom.
He's just 23 years old right now. About two years ago, the previous king died because of an illness. The previous king has two children. A son and a daughter. And his son, Albert, became the king after his death.
Albert was known for being a good king. At least that's what happened in my previous life. He's doing really well against the cult. In fact, in thirty years when we got to war, it was because he's eradicating all the people related to the cult. Whether they are a nobility, rich merchant, guild master, or a general, he didn't give them any mercy.
Since the cult's influence in the kingdom decreasing, the cult has no choice but to use forceful means. And that means going to war with this kingdom.
After knowing the truth about the Evil God Cult, many other countries join hand with Albert to destroy the cult. After that… I died not knowing what will happen after.
What the hell?!
Now that I think about it, won't it be fine if I don't alter the future? The kingdom are doing fine, but I returned back to the past and change so many things!
Well, I don't care much about it though. Since I'm doing this for my own selfishness.
Whether the world will be peaceful or come to ruin in the future, as long as I'm fine and all the people I care about is fine as well, I won't care much about the world.
What if… I gained a lot of harem members from all over the world? Then I have no choice but to save the world, right?
I think I will stay in this country. I hope there won't be a time when I have to leave this country knowing how charming I am to girls.
"Hey, Roy. I don't know what you're thinking but I feel like it's something that won't happen. Please focus on the mission… but we're just waiting here, huh? Well, don't dive too deep into your own imagination."
I feel like Victoria is getting better at reading my mind. Maybe it was because we're connected as a master and his summon.
Back to the king. He's doing well against the cult and he's getting more and more powerful after other countries decided to make alliance with him. He's also quite strong, reaching Advanced level even though he's busy. I don't know his current level but if he can reach Advanced even though he's so busy, that mean he has the talent in magic as well.
The crown prince also learnt a lot from watching him. He's the hope of this kingdom. I think I heard him making a speech about how much he wanted to be like his father the king.
Although the king seems doing well, the queen doesn't.
Her name is Marie. I heard that after the birth of the crown prince, the queen succumbed to an illness. She managed to live but she fell into depression. It's great that the king is watching her so she has someone to rely on.
But now I know the reason why the queen became that way. I hope I can help her with her situation.
The illness she caught was actually a mental one. She is…
Oh wait! Seems like the king and the queen is here. Now I just need to wait for the peeping Tom to arrive.
Hmm… He's taking too long inside that hidden room. Is he suspicious of something? I mean I did copying all the evil plans he wrote down. Maybe I messed up a little? Like dropping an ink or forgot to return a paper to its original places?
I hope he won't notice.
Then I saw him taking something out of his bag. It's a drawing of… the queen!
Don't tell me he's got the hot for her?
Wait! Now that I think about it, the queen was never left the castle after delivering the crown prince. Maybe this peeping Tom knows the reason and use it to his advantage and make a move toward the queen?
No. I'm just thinking too much. My imagination went wild at the moment there. Let's believe that the queen isn't someone like that.
After all, I finally found out that he's the one who makes Ms. Wendy suffer.
After killing Wendy, the king found out the truth and made an order to kill him.
I just found out yesterday that it was him after knowing his plans. He thinks that by writing down the plans, no one will know about it because he's in a hidden room. But such things won't be able to get pass my Divine Vision.
What?! Now he frame the drawing and put it on the wall, then he's kissing it!
Please, hurry up and get here! I'm sick of watching your idiotic actions! Hurry up!
I truly wish he would accidentally use magic on his explosive device inside his mouth so he can explode right his own head. But I need him alive as evidence to give to the king.
I have waited until both the king and the queen fall asleep. Just as the two of them fell asleep, the peeping Tom finished making out with the drawing.
I need something to erase that image from my mind. It was sickening.
This is the first time I actually hated to have this special ability of mine. But since this is an important matter, I have to endure it.
Finally, he's here! He's right above the desk I'm hiding. I think his gaze is concentrated only at the queen even though his job is to protect the king.
Time to make my appearance!
"Wake up, your majesty! I have something important to tell you!"
I spoke after altering my voice with Helium.
"What?! Who's there speaking in funny voice?!"
Now the two of them are awake because of my loud and funny voice. It will be soon when the peeping Tom will enter.
"I am Ninja! Please wait a bit, your majesty."
As soon as I said that, the peeping Tom break through the ceiling of the room and landed between the king and me.
"Be careful your majesty! I will pro-"
"You're my target!"
I grabbed the peeping Tom's arm and threw him down to the floor. Then I hold his head with one hand while the other is grabbing something from the inside of his mouth.
"Where is it~? Here it is! Your majesty, I want to give you report about the existence of an evil organization which this guy who just said he wanted to protect you belong. This is an explosive device attached to the back of the tooth that they all have."
"What?!"
The king is confused. But I continued.
"And here are some of the evil plans this guy prepared. I copied them from his room. It's a secret room near this chamber."
"You!"
Seems like this peeping Tom is shocked to hear that someone found out about the organization's existence and his plans.
Now then, the king is reading the documents I gave him after turning on the light. I don't know why he did this right in front of a trespasser like me, but if he thinks that I can be trusted, then that's good.
I hope I won't put too much stress to the pregnant queen.
