Cheat Awakening

Chapter 53: Chapter 53. Bazzam's decision

Myne after continuous use of double jump skills, and running from the top of the tree, somehow managed to escape the pursuit of the Orc King till he saw the main gate of Lucus Town.

Myne was never be so happy to see the gate of his town as he was today. Beside the gate with both gatekeepers, he also saw worried Aisha and that flat-chested girl who again covered her tire body in the cloak and was standing behind Aisha like a statue.

"So you guys manage to run away, huh? If I have not se you here, I thought that you guys are still in the forest," Myne said to Aisha jokingly while walking toward her with his trademark smile, but because of his tattered clothes, which can hardly cover his neither region, Myne's smile looks everything but pleasuring.

Although Myne has quite a lot of clothes in his Invtory but because he didn't want to reveal his secrets to anyone, he didn't ev dare to wear them, and if he did he have no excuse to explain where he got his clothes as Aisha and that flat-chested girl both saw that he doesn't have storage pouch with him, so he can only bite the bullet and walked in front of everyone in such embarrassing condition.

"Myne! Thank God, you are all right, I was so worried about you," Aisha after hearing Myne's voice immediately looked toward him and after confirming that it was indeed Myne who spoke, not her illusion, she hurriedly runs toward him and give him tight hug, and only after hugging him for a while did she come to her sse and spoke with concern-filled voice.

"Really? You don't look that worried wh you abandoned me to fight with the Orc King without any hesitation," Myne said in a slow voice which only Aisha could hear while rolling his eyes.

"What are you talking about, it was clearly you who order me to run away, while saying that I am a fatty and run too slow, now how can you say that I abandoned you as I am just following your order," Aisha said innoctly clearly didn't want to let Myne take her advantage.

Shit, I know that, I shouldn't have said that, a great chance to emotionally blackmail Aisha missed away, damn it, Myne thought angrily.

"What happed Myne? You look quite sad," Aisha asked while trying to hold back her giggle.

Nothing, I am just feeling a little sad, that while escaping the Orc King's pursuit, I lost your cloak somewhere," Myne said with a sigh.

"Ahh, don't worry about it, but if you still fill sad th just take me to the shopping," Aisha said while giving Myne a knowing wink.

Is this a date invitation? Yes, finally all my hard work paid off, now I can joy my beautiful Aisha's company one more time, and this time we have an tire day. There is also a chance that I can get a kiss from Aisha since she looked so impressed with me today, Myne thought happily while joying Aisha's big boobies on his naked chest.

While Myne daydreaming about his upcoming date, and his little brother slowly trying to wake up, beside the town gate, Sylphid, who just finished sding an emergcy message to her father, suddly looked at Aisha and Myne with a frown.

"They look pretty close, no wonder Aisha knows so many things about Myne, so they are in a relationship huh, it looks like things are going to become a little complicated."

"Cough! Aisha, if you finished your public show of love, th can we go to the guild? Don't forget we have to inform the guild leader what happed in the forest so he can take action as soon as possible, otherwise who knows if the Orc King suddly attacks the town?" Sylphid said in a low voice which can only Aisha and Myne hear, with a poker face.

Hearing Sylphid's cold tone and not-so-nice words, Aisha Immediately distanced herself from Myne with a red face, Yee, Yes, let's go, we have to meet the guild leader, by the way, Myne, you should also come with us. You are the one who has the most contact with Orcs, your information can give us quite a lot of help," Aisha said with a serious face while trying to avoid Sylphid's eyes.

"Aisha, before talking at least look at other people's condition, from which angle do you think I have the mood to wander a in the town in those clothes? Do you want to make me a laughing stock in the tire town?

Although I don't have much respect in your eyes, but I still hav't had such bad days that I can auction my honor just like that, also don't forget that your respectful guild leader banned me from tering the guild, so you go and have fun.

I am just going to my home, I need to change my clothes as soon as possible, people already started watching with the wrong eyes," Myne said nervously while looking a with a fearful expression as some people are talking about him while continuously giving a peek at his little brother, which is clearly not a good thing, so after saying goodbye, he hurriedly runs into the town, before Aisha could speak anything.

"Princess, what should we do now?

Without the help of Myne, how will we know just how many Orcs are in the forest and where their settlemt is?" Aisha asked concernedly although she hav't se the Orc settlemt herself, but she have heard about it many times that whether there is an Orc King, and an Orc priest prest together, there was always an Orc settlemt nearby, with populations of more than 50 elite Orcs, which for a small town like Lucus is ough to make it disappear from the map of Augusta Kingdom.

"Don't worry about it, I have already informed my father about the Orc Settlemt, he is going to sd reinforcemts to deal with this crisis soon, we just have to hang on till help arrives. So don't think too much, and let go, we have to do a lot of things," Sylphid said dominantly.

"Okay, as you command, Princess, Aisha said helplessly while shaking her head, no one was ready to list to her, sometimes she ev felt like she is just a backg character about whom no one really care.

"By the way, you seem quite close to that Myne, is there anything going on betwe you and Myne about which you forget to tell me before?" Sylphid asked with one eye closed.

"Huh? No...no what are you talking about, we are just close frids, yes, just close frids, hahaha," Aisha said awkwardly while trying to not look toward Sylphid.

"Close frids, huh? I see..." Sylphid said with a smile that doesn't look like a smile, but still, she didn't try to put her nose in other people's business.

...

The tire way Aisha and Sylphid didn't say anything, Sylphid because of her status, can't talk to anyone causally and had to maintain her image all the time, while Aisha because she didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble.

After tering the guild, Sylphid directly headed toward the Guild Leader's office and just wh Aisha want to follow her, she wave her hand, and without looking at her, she spoke, "Aisha, you go and put down your weapon first, and do your work, I want to talk to the guild leader privately."

"Okay? Princess, as you wish th, see you later..." Aisha said but Sylphid already walk away leaving her in an awkward position.

"Tsk! What a rude brat, f*ck off you bitch who cares about you. Damn it, didn't ev say thanks for all my effect, shameless, stingy, which f*cker made someone like her to a princess, can't ev give rewards to people for their service," Aisha scolds Sylphid's tire family in a low voice which only she could hear while walking toward the locker room.

After which she put down her bow and arrows in their original place, they are obviously not her own, they are emergcy weapons for the guild, which the guild always has in stock in case the guild staff needs someday, like today. Wh Aisha felt that she should also go with Sylphid to spy on her, she immediately took a bow and arrows with her instead of going out unarmed.

Th Aisha headed toward the cante, took something to eat, and retune to her desk, with a lazy expression to take some rest.

While Aisha returns to her daily schedule, Sylphid also comes to the Guild Leader Bazzam Hanson's office. But before she could knock on the door, Mia who was dozing off beside the door, woke up from her movemts, and while wiping the saliva from her mouth, she spoke, "Hey, hey, Stop there, where do you think you are going so fast? Tell me who are you and what you want."

After hearing Mia's arrogant voice, a frown appear on Sylphid's face, but she still spoke gtly instant of being angry while revealing her idtity and scaring the hell out of Mia.

"I want to meet the Guild Leader, I have a very important matter to discuss with him, so if you don't mind, th can you inform him that the girl whom he met today morning wants to meet him?"

"Okay, I inform him, you just wait here," Mia spoke with a displeasure mood but just wh Mia was about to knock on the door, a hesitated expression appear on her face, but still after praying to some well know Gods for her own safety, she knocked on the door.

"What!"

An angry voice comes from the Guild Leader Bazzam's office, and after hearing it, Mia took a step back, but in order to not make her own joke in front of an outsider, Mia took a deep breath and ops a little bit of the door, only ough to pokes her small head inside the office, and while laughing awkwardly, she spoke, Guild Leader, The girl about whom you gave me instructions saying that if I see her I shall inform you immediately, now she wants to meet you, shall I sd her in?

Huh? What girl? Wh did I give you such an order? Bazzam asked with a frown.

"Before you start scolding me nonstop because of what happed to your precious vase," Mia replies nervously.

"Girl, I asked to look after?...F*ck, Princess..."

Bang...

Bazzam after giving little pressure on his brain finally remembered that the girl about whom Mia talking is nonother than Princess Sylphid, and just wh he was about to go out to meet her, he tripped and fell flat on the g very embarrassingly in front of his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, are you all right?" Mia asked worriedly while trying to help her grandpa to stand up.

But her grandpa like a child, whose toy was brok by its' parts, quickly slapped away Mia's hand and stood up himself, "Don't touch me, also I am not your grandpa, I don't have a granddaughter like you," saying such just wh Bazzam about rush out to meet Sylphid, he saw a small figure hiding in a cloak standing in front of him, watching their grandfather and granddaughter's drama.

If it was the first time th Bazzam might not recognize Sylphid but because he had already se her before, so after seeing her again, he hurriedly walked towards her with a flattering smile on his face, "Princess, please forgive my assistant for her negligce, that she doesn't ev recognize you, also why did you bother to come here, you would have called me? I immediately..."

"Are you done? If so, th stop your nonsse and list to me, I have something very important to discuss with you," Sylphid said while removing her cloak, and after putting it on Bazzam's desk, she sat down on Bazzam's comfortable and luxurious chair, of course only in Bazzam eyes, for Sylphid, this is just a common chair.

While Sylphid making herself comfortable in Bazzam's chair, Mia who saw Sylphid for the first time in her life also comes out from her shocked, she never expected that the girl whom she talking with very rudely just a momt ago turns out to be Princess Knight Sylphid.

She won't punish me for such a little mistake like talking rudely, right? Mia thought nervously and after confirming that Sylphid has completely ignored her, did she take a breath of relief.

"As you wish, Princess, but Princess, please give me a minute, I bring a nice drink for you since you just retune from a long journey, you must be very tired," Bazzam said sincerely, completely abandoning his idtity and honor of a guild leader and become Sylphid's butler and Sylphid, also felt like she is little thirsty so she just nodded her head without saying anything.

After receiving Sylphid's approval, Bazzam gives Mia a warning full glance, indicating to her to not mess a, and hurriedly walk toward his painting on the right side of the wall. Th he took the picture down and quickly op the safe behind it, with a gold key, that he is carrying a his neck.

In Bazzam's secret safe, there wasn't much thing, a 50 or so platinum coins, an adult hand size cow's gold statue, 3 gold color wine bottles, random colors crystal like stones, and some documts.

After seeing Bazzam's puny wealth, Sylphid, who has a little bit of expectation, loses her interest, but the opposite her, Mia, after seeing her grandpa's secret safe felt like she was hit by lightning. Because till now her grandma and she always thought that they know everything about Bazzam, ev about his wealth but today after seeing so much money in his safe, she was stunned.

No, I have to tell you about this to Grandma, this matter is related to the rise of my pocket money, if I manage to manipulate Grandma ev a little bit I defiantly get some share of this treasure, Mia thought siltly while planning her next course of action.

Bazzam who knows nothing about his traitor granddaughter's plan, quickly picks up a bottle of gold wine and hurriedly closed the safe. Th he come to Sylphid's side, took out a new glass from his desk drawer, filled it with gold wine, and put the glass in front of Slyphid with a big smile.

"Princess, this is one of the most expansive and rarest wines of our kingdom, you might have heard about it, its name is 'Humblosun Gold Wine', this wine is super popular among the noble rectly, and rich people are dying to buy it, but because it's all production is monopolized by a high level noble, who only sell fifty bottles a month, so there are not many supplies of this wine in the market.

Here give it a try, you defiantly like it, and believe me, I have to give a lot of things to my close frid before he decides to sell me those three bottles," Bazzam said proudly.

But Sylphid after hearing about the Humblosun Gold Wine, a frown appears on her beautiful face, because she never heard about it, and if this wine is really as popular as Bazzam describes, th it is really quite weird that she didn't know about it. Sylphid hesitantly smelled the wine but she only felt a lovely sct in her nose, th she through a little bit and took a small sip of wine.

As wine ter Sylphid's mouth and touch her tongue, for a momt Sylphid had an illusion that she was flying, she had never drunk something so good in her tire life, th Sylphid like a thirsty wanderer in the desert, quickly finish the tire glass of wine in the one gulp.

"Give me more," said Sylphid while rising the empty glasses toward Bazzam.

"Yes, yes, Princess, here, saying such, Bazzam refilled Sylphid's empty glass with a painful expression in his eyes, clearly, he didn't respect that the Princess, whom he considered a gtle and well behaved lady, turn out to be a big drinker.

Only after finishing the second glass of wine, did Sylphid come back to her sse, and realize what she is doing, she cough a little bit to hide her embarrassmt and hurriedly change the topic.

"Do you know anything about the noble who is selling this wine?" Sylphid asked clearly interested in this new wine.

"Sorry, princess, I have to disappoint you but I don't know anything about him, because most of his work is done by his workers or his butler, and he never reveals his information in public," Bazzam said apologetically.

"Th wh did he start selling this wine, and what is its price rate?" Sylphid asked while staring at the gold bottle in Bazzam's hand passionately clearly she wanted to drink more, but she can't just grab it from others' hands, she still has to remember her idtity after all.

"Well, as far as I know, this wine come into the market months ago, and its one battle price is 0 platinum coins, but because it is too hard to get, in the black market its price is more than 50 platinum coins," Bazzam said after thinking for a while.

"I see, by the way, how many A-Rank advtures are currtly in your guild?" Sylphid asked.

"Huh? A Rank Advturer? What are you talking about Princess, how can my guild have such strong people? I myself am only a B Rank Advturer, how can I have the courage to order them and let them join my guild, and work for me?

Also, this is just a small town near the capital city, without any worth mtioning resources, we don't ev have a single dungeon in this town, th why do powerful people with A-Rank strgth come here?" Bazzam said with a helpless smile.

Just because of this reason he tried many times to transfer to other cities with dungeons under their control, but because he only has the power of a B Rank advturer, he never gets approval from higher up, and so he has to spd most of his life in this small town, ev though he has quite a high ambition at the start of his carrier, which later smokes up by the wind of reality.

"What! So you are saying that in this tire town, there is not a single A-Rank Advturer?" Sylphid exclaimed while standing up from her chair.

"Amm, as far as I know, there are also 5 or so people with B Rank strgth, and others are just normal people without any sufficit power, by the way, Princess who is that A-Rank advturer you just mtion," Bazzam asked embarrassingly while rubbing his hand back of his head.

Done, you guys are done for th, now take my advice and start praying that the Orc King doesn't come to your door before reinforcemt from the capital city comes, otherwise, no one can save you," Sylphid said with a sigh completely ignore Bazzam question, and th first, she took out her storage pouch from her blouse pocket, put her hand in the storage pouch, and took out a handful of platinum coins, and put them on the desk, th she grabs the gold wine bottle from Bazzam and start walking toward the exit.

"Wait a minute, Princess, can you please tell me, what do means by the Orc King coming to my door, and about reinforcemt, Bazzam hurriedly asked nervously, he ev forget to look at the platinum coins on his desk, ev Mia who start to d forget by everyone, held her breath, so she doesn't miss anything about which Sylphid going to say.

After hearing Bazzam's request, Sylphid thought for a momt and describe everything that happed in the forest.

"So, now you understand how critical your town's situation is, but don't worry if everything goes well, th you might not ev see the Orc King's face, before some deal with him, but still, if your luck is really bad, th I can only pray for you, Sylphid said and after nodding her head toward dumbfounded Bazzam and Mia, she walks out from his office.

"Grandpa, what should we do now? Should I pack our things before the Orc King come to our gate?" Mia asked nervously.

"Shut up, you idiot, can't you see such a simple thing, since Princess herself is not a little bit nervous, and ev dare to drink wine so causally th she defiantly has some backup plan ready, so we don't have to worry too much," Bazzam said angrily while showing his deep trust toward the royal family.

"Okay, Grandpa, th I am going back to my work," Mia said helplessly, and just wh she was about to slip out from Bazzam's office, she heard his voice from behind, "By the way, since you insist so much th tell you, grandma to pack my favorite blanket and pillow as well, you know without them I can't fall asleep."

Huh? Don't he just a momt ago say that he believes in Princess and nothing bad going to happ, th why did he change his mind so soon? Mia thought but because her grandpa was already quite angry with her she dare not joke with him, and just nodded her head, and hurriedly left his office while leaving Bazzam alone in the room.

Who would have thought that the guy whom I just kick out from the guild to save some money, turn out to be hiding his strgth so deeply, no wonder he didn't take my word seriously that time, and this also explains how Lyle and his father die so suddly.

Sigh, seems like this time I mess up all the things but now it is not time to cry over spilled milk, I need to make a plan to deal with this situation.

By the way, it seems like Mia's grandma always wanted to see Sea, and I also have be fooling her till now while saying that wh the time is right we would go on a long vacation, now since the town is under such a great danger, and a big emy of mine, who is waiting to kill me in dark at any momt, so there's no better time to get away from all this mess.

Yes, this is the perfect plan, such a gius I am, hahaha, Bazzam laughs for a while and th he hurriedly writes a resignation letter, and after taking all valuable things from all the hidd safes in his office, he also left his office...
