Vance really wanted to cry. He realized that Alice's uncle was borrowing a knife to kill him! While Vance was thinking of how he could explain the situation to the king in three days, Alice and Sally were in another room having tea and pastries. "Princess, are you really going with that man?"
"Mhm! Vance is the one I want to be with. You might think I am just having an infatuation with him, but, it's not like that. I feel safe around him. He never forces anything on me. If I do not like something, he will not push it. In a word, he is sweet." Alice blushed as she played with her fingers. Thinking of last night when Vance massaged her chest for the first time made her feel even more embarrassed. But because of this, she knew that Vance would really treat her well. He was not afraid to advance things but also not afraid to take a step back. To her, Vance was perfect.
"I see…." Sally looked at her princess and sighed. "Then I will follow along as well. After all, I am your maid and protector." Sally also wanted to find out where Vance got his potions from. And she wanted to make sure the person she had dedicated her life to protecting was not being mistreated.
"Sally, I…." Alice was a bit unsure about this. She looked at Sally, whose eyes were filled with determination, and could only sigh. "I will talk to Vance. If he says you can follow, then you can follow, but we will be in the capital for a while. So think about it. From what I know, after things are settled with my brother, we plan to venture out into the world and grow stronger together. We want to stand at the top like the heroes of the past."
"I see…" Sally was quite surprised. Seeing Alice smile as she said this, she could tell Alice was actually quite excited about this. "Then that is even more of a reason for me to be at your side, protecting you."
"Sally…. Let's wait and hear Vance's opinion. After all, he is the one who I will be with from now on." Alice did not want to fracture her friendship with Sally. So she could only put things off until she talked with Vance.
While Sally began to sulk at how Alice was leaving everything to Vance already as if she was his little wife, Edward Findale was sitting in his office within his small palace with a horrible look on his face. "You are telling me three of my men are dead!? How much did I put into training the five of them!? But a single maid could kill three of them!?"
"Sir, from our investigation, the maid should have died as soon as she fought with numbers two and three. But she used some kind of explosive device as she jumped off a building and blew them and herself up. Number five even shot her through the chest with an arrow but ended up dead as well. This report might be off, but this was all told by eyewitnesses who spoke that day. And it was your uncle's men who cleaned it up." A man in a fine white shirt and gray pants replied as he pushed the glasses on his nose back up.
"Damn it! That bastard has been watching me like a hawk. I was lucky to even be able to form a five man squad, but now what? A damn maid trained by my uncle killed three of them! This is basically saying I am incompetent!" Edward yelled out as he slammed his fist on his desk. His teeth were grinding together as he spoke. "What about the other worlder I sent to the inn?"
"We found the other worlder at one of the Goddess Celestina statues, and he told us that there was a young man and a woman inside. He did not see the woman's eyes or hair, so he did not know if they were pink or not. But he said the room only had a single bed." The man in a fine white shirt and gray pants answered. At that time, the player Vance killed really only got to see that there was only a single bed inside the room and heard a man and woman's voices.
"I see…. If they were using the same bed, it is for sure not my sister. But try to keep an eye on them. Tell the guards watching the inn to keep an eye on their movements. That sister of mine has to die before we can fully move forward with our plan. My father loves her dearly, so if we are able to disturb his state of mind with her death and give him that, then I will be able to ascend to the throne with ease. Then this kingdom will finally be mine." Edward's lips curled up into a smile as his eyes displayed a kind of cruelty one should never have for one's family.
"Please be patient, Your Highness. All things will come."

After Henry stepped out to deal with things, Vance was taken to the room Sally and Alice were currently in. When he walked in, he was immediately stared at by Sally with eyes that said he was her enemy number one. But this only lasted for a second before she got up and bowed to Vance. "I owe you my life. The holy potion saved me when I needed it the most."
Vance smiled and nodded. "I am glad I was of some use. I know Alice cares a lot about you, so I did not want to see you get harmed for our matters."
After saying this, Vance took out another potion and handed it to Sally. "Keep this one as well, just in case." He was only giving out this potion because he planned to make more later tonight after they gathered the materials.
Sally's eyes widened, seeing how Vance so easily took out another one. It was as if he was some kind of holy potion dispenser. Vance couldn't help but chuckle to himself when he thought about later when he handed the girl a few more. He wanted to be sure everyone had some on hand, and with his title, as it was, he would be able to make even better health potions.
