The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 109 - Secret Agents Meet The King

Roy and the others stays at Cassau while looking around the city sightseeing with Daniel and the others.

He will stay there for a few days before taking everyone to go to the capital.

While the others were playing, he would sometime go diving to get some treasures to sell.

The house looked better now that Lina has cleaned and renovate a few things. Thanks to Victoria's knowledge of water draining system, there will be a private bathroom only for me in my room. But it hasn't been built yet.

It still needed at least a few month until it's complete. It's all new knowledge after all for us in this world.

While Roy and the others were relaxing in Cassau, the two secret agents finally arrived at the capital.

"Finally, we have arrived. How long has it been since I returned here?" said Candy reminiscing the past.

"You're from the capital? Then do you have a family you want to meet there?" asked Wendy.

"No. I was trained to be a secret agent since I was little. I'm an orphan," said Candy.

"Oh yeah. I heard that from you before. I'm also an orphan from a village not far from here. But if there's a chance, I would like to visit there after we're done meeting with his majesty even though there's no one I'd like to meet there," said Wendy.

Candy silent for a while before asking Wendy something.

"…you think Roy said the truth?"

Candy still not believed what Roy said to them about the cult and how their leader is a traitor.

"You… now that you mentioned it, it was Tim who recruited you and taught you everything, right? You can't believe if he's really a traitor. That's why you want it to be a lie."

"…he's like a father to me. It's hard to believe that he planned to make us into a criminal in his plan." Candy looked sad saying that.

"Then if Roy spoke the truth, at least we should be able to meet his majesty himself. Then we can ask for his confirmation."

"You might be right. Let's go."

"Wait! Let's make our preparation first."

Wendy stopped Candy who's about to enter the secret passage from outside the wall that Roy told them about.

"What preparation?"

"Mental preparation. Candy, what would you do if what Roy said is true? Will you still put your faith to the country?"

Candy pondered for a bit before answering Wendy.

"I don't know. To imagine that there are a lot of traitor inside the court is hard to believe."

"Yeah, and if what Roy said is true, undoubtedly we will have a lot of work to do. More than we ever have before. But for me, I want the country to be safe. I only became a teacher for a short while, but I find it fun. I hope I can truly become a teacher in the future. But if there's an organization that planned to destroy everything, my dream won't ever come true. What about you? What other things want to do other than being an agent?"

Wendy hasn't been long since she became a teacher, but she thinks becoming a teacher might be a good idea if she were to quit being an agent. But she won't be able to be a teacher if the cult destroy the world.

They don't know if the cult want to destroy the world or not, but hearing their plans from Roy, they thought that might be the end goal of the cult.

"…I don't know. But whatever I want won't happen if the cult planned to destroy the world. Let's go. I have prepared myself."

"Good. I'll take the lead."

With Wendy in the lead, they entered the hidden passage. The end of that passage is a garden in the palace, then they entered another hidden passage to where Roy said Tim's room is.

They stopped for a while in that room.

"So this is his room. I heard that Roy and his majesty took all important document here. We won't find anything here."

"What's that?"

Wendy didn't see anything of importance in the room, but Candy found some writing on the floor. Hidden under a chair.

They look closer at the writing to see a heart shaped symbol and two names written in the middle of the heart.

"It says Tim and the other name is... Marie? Wasn't Marie the name of the queen?" Wendy is surprised to see the name of the queen there.

"…Roy said that Tim was killed because of his betrayal and his… hidden desire. Don't tell me his hidden desire is to…"

At this time, Candy's impression of the one she thought of as her father is dropped to the lowest point.

"…Candy, let's go. There's nothing else to see here."

Wendy told Candy to meet the king right away. They don't have any other business here.

Meanwhile, inside the king's chamber, there are four people inside.

Albert, Marie, Shirley who has just finished cultivating together with Marie, and one other person.

"Ian, thank you for returning to be our butler. Even though you were supposed to be retired already, we have no other people we could trust." Albert thanking the old man with a long white hair tied into a ponytail who is wearing a butler outfit.

"It's nothing. I swear my loyalty to the country. If the country is in danger as you said, there's no way I won't help."

Ian was the head butler of the previous king who retired after Albert sat on the throne. He knows Albert and his sister since they were just born.

"But can you tell me what kind of trouble we're facing?"

Ian still hasn't heard about anything from Albert. He was just told to help the country.

"I just want someone I can trust to be by my side. As for the trouble…"

Before he said anything else, everyone in the room heard a knock on the ceiling.

Ian prepared himself to fight thinking it might be an assassin or spy, but Albert stopped him.

"Who's there?!" Albert asked the identity of the one on the ceiling.

Wendy and Candy, can see peek a small part of the room from the ceiling. And when they see that Albert was there, Wendy knocked to tell him that they're here.

"Ninja is not a clown." Wendy said the password.

Everyone was confused when they heard that. Everyone but Albert.

What he felt was his lie detection ability was activated. Which mean that was a lie.

Knowing that his lie detection ability activated, it means that Ninja is a not a clown is a lie. That means the guest knocking on the ceiling is someone who knows Ninja's real identity.

"Did Ninja sent you here?" Albert asked the voice from the ceiling.

"Yes. He said that your majesty needed someone he can trust, so he send us both here." Wendy replied.

"You can enter."

As soon as he gave the permission, Wendy and Candy both entered and instantly get into a kneeling position.

"No need to do that. You can stand. Who are you two?"

Getting permission from the king, both of them stand up.

The three people inside were relaxed when they heard that Ninja send these two girls here, while one person still remains on guard.

"Please be careful. They might be enemies."

Ian already prepared to cast his magic to protect Albert.

"No need to be on guard. If Ninja is sending them here, then at least Ninja trust them. For now, tell me who you are."

Wendy is the one who answered Albert.

"We are secret agents of the kingdom and a subordinate of Tim. Ro- Ninja said that Tim is planning to frame us and betray the kingdom but he prevented it to happen. He said that we will learn the truth by coming here."

"…the fact that he's making me do the work of telling the truth is just very like him. He's someone who told me all of this because he want other people to do it. And that Ro-something should be his real name, right? Do you know his identity?" Albert asked.

"Yes. Tim told me to work as a teacher in an Introductory School in Melk few months ago. He is one of my student, Roy." Wendy replied honestly.

"Wait, he's a student? That mean he's younger than me!" Shirley was surprised to hear that Roy is younger than her.

"Did you forget what he told us?"

"…oh, right."

Marie reminded her about the fact that Roy came from the future. That means even if he's younger than Shirley, his mental age is much older than that.

Then Albert explained everything to the three people.

"You two come here in a good time. I was just about to tell everything to Ian. Now I don't have to repeat it again."

Albert tells everything about the cult, about the future he heard from Roy who came from, and his ability to detect lies.

"I see. So that's why I was asked such question." Ian smiled remembering yesterday when Albert visited him.

"Sorry to test you before."

Yesterday, by using one of the hidden passage Roy told him, he visited Ian and ask him a question. He asked if Ian loyal to the throne. Ian answered yes, but Albert's lie detection skill was activated.

Then he asked Ian again if he want to work under Albert again, Ian answered yes. Then Ian added that he is loyal to the king, but that's not a lie.

Albert feels warm after hearing that.

Not loyal to the throne, but loyal to the king. That means he's only loyal to Albert himself. Not anyone else. Probably, not even the previous king.

"Well, what about you two? Will you help us in fighting against the cult?"

This time, Albert asked the two guests about their decisions.

"I will."

Without hesitation, Wendy answered.

"I… can I have some time before I answer?"

"Sure. Why?" Albert asked Candy.

"Roy said that he will come here soon. I want to ask him something before deciding my answer. Don't worry, I won't ever reveal anything I heard today."

"Understood. If you meet him in the capital, tell him to visit here every day. He was a doctor and I want him to be the one who delivered my babies."

"Thank you for your generosity," Candy said.

Wendy and Ian already decided to help Albert eradicate the evil cult, while Candy is still hesitating.

She thought of Tim as her father since he's the one who taught her everything since young. But to hear someone she idolize is evil, her heart can't take it.

She wants to hear everything from Roy. About the future he came from and what really happened directly from him.
