Chapter 378 – Meeting the New Agent
I put on my wolf mask and got ready to see the new agent.
Millia, Vi-Vi, Timi, Shiggy, and I all got ready to make our way through the town to the agent’s residence.
We left behind the other beasts, Cruz, and the kids.
?Do your best, Al!?
?Wuff!??Moo!??Piggi!?
Cruz and the beasts cheered us on.
Cruz also said to Millia,
?Cruz, you can just leave the store to Tant…thanks.?
?Okay.?
Cruz and the orphans saw us off.
Millia was in front of us all. She seemed a bit tense.
?Millia, you’re not nervous are you??
?Yes, I am. Aren’t you all??
Vi-Vi looked confused and said,
?No…it’s just an agent. Not like I’m visiting the crown directly.?
Timi stuck out her chest and said,
?I’m stronger and greater than her!?
?Yeah, you are.?
?Not just me, but you too, Al!?
?I am strong, but not really great.?
?You’re the guardian of the great Duchess Sighisoara, right? That makes you greater than a king!?
?I see, well I guess I’d agree then.?
Hearing that Millia said,
?Are you nervous, Al??
?I’m worried a bit that I can keep her from finding out who I am. But with this mask on, I should be okay.?
?I see.?
After talking for a while, we arrived at the agent’s residence.
There was a proper guard standing at the entrance.
They were a 40 and 20 year old devil, two standing on each side.
?Looks like order is back again.?
?It’s almost moving to see it back.?
While Vi-Vi and I were whispering that to each other, Millia spoke to the guard.
?I am Millia of Wolf Wholesaler. I am responding to the summons given by the new agent.?
The older devil responded to her.
?Thank you for coming. And who is behind you??
?My guard and a guest.?
?A guard??
By guard she meant Vi-Vi. She was a very thin, young, girl. Nothing like a guard.
It wasn’t strange that the older devil thought there’s no way she could be a guard.
?She’s an excellent magician.?
?Oh, a magician.?
He seemed to understand that though.
There were many proficient devil magicians. The guard was on as well, so he understood that.
?Why have you brought them to the agent’s questioning??
?She was the one that captured those that are in the jail presently, so I thought she would be helpful if the agent has any questions…?
?That is well understood. And the guest??
Without waiting for Millia’s introduction, Timi stepped forwards and said,
?I am Timisoara. I am a viscount ancient dragon. I have come to greet the newly arrived agent.?
The young devil guard jumped,
?What? An ancient dragon?! No way!?
?Hey! Hold your tongue!?
The older guard said in strong voice to the younger.
It was very impolite to doubt the identity of royal or ancient blood.
?Mistress Timisoara, I give my humblest apologies.?
?It is of no matter. I must remain a human in this place. There’s no way he would believe me, anyway.?
The ancient dragon was a legendary, almost mythical beast. Of course the younger guard doubted.
?But if he wants to see, I can return to my form here.?
?N, no need!?
?Really? Alright…?
If she did return to a dragon, the place would be in shambles.
That’s why the older guard freaked out.
The older guard had the younger run inside the building to tell the agent that we had arrived.
?Thank you for being so tolerant of him, your majesty. And this is??
The guard looked at me.
?The person in that mask is Alra. He is a “follower” of mine.?
?Understood. As soon as the guard returns from notifying the agent, I will see you in.?
After that, and without waiting long, they showed us in.
Both guards left their posts. It was more important to show Timi in than guard the place.
That’s how big of a deal Timi was.
Without Timi being there, we probably would have to wait a while.
So we were taken to a waiting room.
Even though the agent had just arrived, no one had really cleaned the place.
I could tell they swept it over, but there was still dust here and there.
?They still haven’t cleaned everything. Look at the dust!?
And like a impertnent sister-in-law, she smudged her finger over a dusty shelf.
?Yeah, I think it’s the most important to clean this place first.?
No need to have a dirty abode for an ancient dragon.
However, the agent never thought that one would visit.
There was nothing to be done but just take the slightly repugnant lack of care.
As we were talking it over, we heard a large?Bababababoom?.
The waiting room opened.
?Thank you for waiting. Our greatest apologies for all the dust.?
She had a strong entrance and spoke grandly to us, this mid-20s woman.
She had on very beautiful metal armor and a scabbarded sword. She also had a golden ponytail that flowed down her back.
Millia looked lost but said,
?Uh, um…?
?Haven’t introduced myself. I am Belda Lingen. I have been entrusted Elkay by the crown.?
Millia quickly took a knee and bowed. Vi-Vi did as well.
However, Timi and I didn’t move.
Lingen was a name of the royalty.
?I am Millia. I run the Wolf Wholesaler.?
?Raise your head. Shows character for someone as young as you to be running it.?
?Thank you very much.?
?And what about the Mistress Viscount??
Saying this, she gazed over at Timi and I, who remained motionless to her presence.
