The villain's side of the novel

The next day

Iskar City Sunset Pub

Doof

"Sh**, what a scamp.." Ned hit his hand against the wall and shouted angrily

"When did he arrive in Morial city? " Luke asked, looking at the knight who brought the news.

"Yesterday, sir," said the knight

"But when did he get out of Iskar? There were no signs of him leaving" Lucas asked

"Actually, we don't know, sir, as you know, the actions of the parada family have become very secretive lately," replied the knight

"So, what we should do now?" Aslan asked

Aslan and Luke arrived yesterday in Iskar city after they had rested and spent the night in a hotel, they woke up intending to visit Prada Palace to convince Fray to clean the dungeon, but unexpectedly this morning they received information that Fray is not actually in the city but he is now in Lionar kingdom.

"Since he arrived yesterday, there is a good chance that he will be back very late to cleaner the dungeon. So waiting for him is not an option," Lucas said.

"He must have gone to the Lionar Kingdom to attend the royal party," said Gus

"It would be better if we go to Morial city to see him than wait for him to come back. The party is in a week using Pegasus horses, we'll be able to make it there before the party," Luke said after some thought. Because without Fray's direct permission to clean the dungeon there was no point for them to stay here. After all the dungeon's exploding date was close so they should get the permission as soon as possible

Thus, Luke thought going to the Lionar Kingdom to meet Fray would be better than waiting for him here.

"Alright. Since you've just arrived from travel, you stay here to rest and monitor the dungeon. Ned and I will go to Morial City," said Lucas.

"No. you guys stay here, I'll go alone," Luke said. Since He's still sure that he can convince Fray to give him the permission

"I'll go too," Aslan said with a firm expression

"Are you sure? I can handle it myself, you don't have to force yourself to go if you don't want to," said Luke, looking at Aslan.

"No, I have to go too. After all, I am the one who understands Fray the most," Aslan said with a complicated expression

Luke looked at Aslan's expression strangely, then said, "Okay if you insist." Then he turned to Lucas and said, "Lucas, you stay here and try to find out the Prada family's plans and the reason for their strange activities lately."

"It's going to be a little difficult because the people of Iskar are so scared of the Prada family that it's almost impossible to extract any information from them," said Lucas, recalling his past interactions with the people of this city.

All residents of Iskar signed an official contract with the city after receiving their ID cards. As the identity card proves that they are original residents of the city and gives them a lot of benefits. By using it, the residents can move the guards' knights to protect them and they can even get the Iskar currency as a salary when they work in the city if they own the card, and even the prices drop significantly for the citizens of Iskar compared to the outsiders ...etc.

Shortly, Iskar ID card holders receive very special treatment within the city, but in return, they must respect many of the mandatory conditions. And maintain the confidentiality of Iskar's internal information is one of the conditions written in the contract and all the citizens of the city must respect it.

And since the people of Iskar have lived in this city for thousands of years, they have great loyalty to iskar in addition to that they all know the power of the Prada family from the stories left to them by their ancestors, so they don't dare break the contract even if they have the opportunity. But contrary to everyone's thoughts, violating the contract is not punishable by death, but only by losing the city's identity card, which means banishment from Iskar, but after the great improvement that occurred in the city, no one has the desire to leave it, As they have great hope that the city will become much stronger under the leadership of the new Prada family head.

After hearing Lucas' words, Luke wrote an address on a piece of paper then he gave it to Lucas and said, "This is the address of a friend of mine. He is the head of a large information organization. He must know what the Prada family is up to. Visit him and tell him it's a request from me. He will surely help you."

Morial City

Prada family mansion

Fray was standing in front of a mirror, looking at his reflection, with his expressionless face as usual. Fray was wearing a sophisticated suit adorned with a bejeweled brooch. The suit accentuated Fray's muscular curves. A look that Fray found very interesting. His long black hair was styled uniquely to match his sculpted face. At this moment, Fray looked so handsome, even Fary himself acknowledge this.

In fact, yesterday Fray received an invitation letter to attend a dinner organized by the First Princess. Fray has special goals to achieve at this dinner. And because he also wanted to meet someone there he decided to go and now Fray was getting ready because the dinner is tonight.

(He must be excited to meet the third princess) Kara thought with a smile as she stood behind Fray, then said, "You look handsome, sir."

(Looks like she got the wrong idea ) Fray thought as he looked at Kara's strange smile with an uncomfortable expression but he decided to just answer her "Thank you, Kara. Is the cart ready?"

"Yes, sir. it is waiting for you outside," said Kara

So, after Fray finished getting ready, he walked out of the palace and headed toward the cart which was surrounded by a small group of knights, since Casper and Rin's presence is a secret he could not bring them with him so he had no choice but to take the knights instead
