Will of chaos

Chapter 721 Cap 719: Hitching A Ride With Criminals

I woke up inside a small dark room with Freya sleeping next to me, Kira was playing cards with Jade nearby.

"Why do I keep losing?" (Jade)

"You only use Serpent-type monsters and poison cards, their strategies are very simple." (Kira)

"In a real battle, simplicity is better for a strategy." (Jade)

"These games were created to increase tactical thinking, so it should..." (Kira)

"Looks like you woke up master." (Kira)

"Good morning Master or should I say good night?" (Jade)

"Hello girls, how long have I slept?" (I)

"About 2 days, it's the night of the second day after Freya stopped the city's destruction." (Kira)

I remember taking Freya and the others to one of the more destroyed houses to hide, meanwhile, I passed orders to everyone before sitting down to rest for a while, then my eyelids felt heavy.

I look at the dark room, the floor is made of smooth stone, the walls are made of wood with various magic circle designs and the ceiling seems to be made of metal with a big magic circle the size of the room drawn on it, there seemed to be a skylight in the ceiling in one corner of the room along if a ladder.

"What is this place? Where are the others?" (I)

"Most have returned to the Dungeon." (Jade)

"Me and Elsaris along with our subordinates followed the original plan, but I asked Elsaris and her sister to join Athena's group to carry out her last orders." (Kira)

"I suppose it must have all been very easy." (I)

"Yes, with so much chaos all over the city, a lot of crimes started to happen, the death toll from murder caused by people taking advantage of the chaos is over 200." (Kira)

I knew that the worst part of this destruction would come later, there will always be opportunists trying to turn a major disaster into something profitable even at the expense of the suffering of others.

I look at Jade and Kira, they both look fine, then I turn to Freya sleeping beside me, her clothes are new and clean, it looks like someone changed her clothes, then I look at my clothes which to my horror was a pink dress very feminine and cute.

"Was it Érica or Diana?" (I)

"The idea came from Lilith, but Érica and Diana were delighted with the idea." (Kira)

"I said it was a bad idea, this is not a King's outfit." (Jade)

"But he's so handsome..." (Kira)

"I'll take care of those 3 later." (I)

I get up and pull out a better outfit from my storage item, it's a simple white shirt, a leather coat with an eclipse illustration on the back, and dark blue slacks with black shoes.

I start taking off these women's clothes, Kira was my lover and Jade was a Lamia who doesn't feel ashamed of nudism, for her culture it's just normal.

"Freya hasn't woken up yet?" (I)

"No, but the doctor said she seemed to recover faster within the range of her Aura." (Jade)

"...." (I)

I look at Freya as I put on my clothes, paying special attention to the interplay between our Auras that seem to flow together between the two of us, it feels natural since I'm not doing it on purpose and she's passed out.

"It must be because of the strong connection to nature that we both have in common." (I)

"That's what the doctor assumed, he said that Auras are not his specialty and so assuming was the best he could do." (Kira)

After changing clothes, I sit next to Freya to stay close to her until she wakes up.

"How was everything?" (I)

"We captured 15 people who must be being very well taken care of by Lilith by now, we also found that only 11 of those people had secret hideouts, we are inside one of those now that has been reinforced to stay hidden." (Kira)

"As you requested the Royal Floating Ship was stolen and is already inside the Dungeon, but I must warn you that Nicolas is being closely watched, in these 2 days he has already made more than 18 attempts to dismantle the Floating Ship." (Kira)

"Stop him, at least until he has a body better suited to his job." (I)

"Nira said the same thing, but it seems Nicolas is too stubborn to listen to what others say." (Jade)

"Let him know that if he completes a suitable body I'll let him dismantle the Floating Ship as long as he's able to perfect it." (I)

"Vanessa already said that, but he keeps trying, it seems his curiosity is as reckless as hers, master." (Kira)

Nicolas is a maniac for his job, he's been forced to stay away from it all for so long so he must be thrilled to be able to get back to work, I imagine for someone like him these Floating Ships are amazing and hard to resist.

"Wait a minute, did you say 15 people captured?" (I)

"I said he'd notice." (Jade)

"Damn, I owe Nolan 20 silvers now." (Kira)

"What are you talking about?" (I)

"Nolan and Kira made a bet about you not noticing the two extra people in the captured people numbers when Kira would report to you." (Jade)

"I thought sleepiness might help me." (Kira)

"After you pay Nolan, tell me about these two people first?" (I)

"I captured them on the way to taking care of the other 13." (Kira)

"Can you tell me about them in a little while, how's the rest of what I ordered?" (I)

"We recover all items from the auction that was canceled for obvious reasons, so as requested was only the items that belong to us." (Kira)

"We've also taken care of everything to get out of the mainland, we're going to take a boat belonging to traffickers of stolen goods." (Kira)

"Excellent, will this get us a few more things along with a ship when we leave?" (I)

"Tomorrow, as soon as the twin moons are in the sky and the Suns are gone." (Kira)

"During the night, I understand." (I)

It seems that everything has been resolved the way I asked, and our escape route is also ready.

"Did anyone see what we did that day?" (I)

"No, Athena and Vanessa hid you." (Kira)

"What about the Hero and his two companions?" (I)

"They left today, looks like they bought a ship and left, they were looking for you before they left." (Kira)

"I don't want to meet them anymore, Darcia looks a lot like Diana and for me, a Diana is enough, I don't even want to talk about that straight Hero." (I)
