Chapter 96: Third Prince of Cartoza

Chapter 96: Third Prince of Cartoza

In the morning of the next day, I wake up early, when I look to my side I see Ibuki sleeping beside me holding my hand again, before long rica comes to wake me up and bring me something to eat.

After eating I wake up Ibuki and talk to her about her progress with the books I asked her to read, it seems she started reading from the Hero book.

After talking to her for a while I realized that the problem was not just a few words she didn't understand, but also that she wasn't understanding the different types of relationships like relationships with family members, relationships with girlfriends, relationships with strangers, etc.

She wasn't able to understand these things due to the way she was raised by the Goblins, in the end, I spent the entire morning teaching her how people interact with family, friends, acquaintances, girlfriends, strangers, etc.

It was difficult to explain the concept of family to her, as small Goblin communities like the one that used to be in this cave before are called families.

At noon rica came to tell me that Diana and Kira had come back, I was good enough to at least stand-up and wanted to go see them walking, but rica forced me to stay lying down until I was fully recovered, so she went to call everyone to the room for a meeting in my room.

"Master!" (Diana)

As soon as Diana walked through the door her eyes started to water and she threw herself at me to hug me.

"I'm sorry master, you're like that because I was weak and careless." (Diana)

"It's not your fault, don't worry." (I)

"But if I wasn't trying to save the others I wouldn't have been stabbed in the back and the master wouldn't need to save me." (Diana)

"The master got that way because of me." (Diana)

"Don't worry, it's my duty as your master to make sure you're safe, if I'm like this it's because I'm weak." (I)

As Diana hugged me I stroked her head, it took me a few minutes to calm her down enough for her to stop hugging me and letting go.

After calming Diana down we were able to start the meeting.

"We have a lot to talk about at this meeting." (I)

"Let's talk first about the mansion Kira said you were buying Diana from, then I want to know what you managed to find out about the Kira mansion." (I)

"The mansion looks as big as the Duke's, I couldn't go see it before as after recovering from the special mission and sorting things out in the mansion I came straight back here." (Diana)

"I already have the deed to the mansion, I've also ordered the renovations we had chosen, the company that will renovate the mansion is the same one that built it, I bought the mansion from Vice Master of Commerce Guild Wilson Williams." (Diana)

"You could have asked for the drawings of the mansion, I'm sure as a major trader the deputy master of the Guild of Commerce should have these in hand." (I)

"..." (Diana)

"Why didn't I think about it?" (Diana)

"Because you have the muscle for brain hahahaha." (Byakko)

"What did you say you Weak Cat?" (Diana)

While talking to Diana a white Cat with black stripes floated out of Kira's hood and started a ridiculous verbal spar with her.

"Who would you be?" (I)

"I'm sorry master, this is my hired spirit Byakko." (Kira)

"It's about time he woke up." (I)

"So you're Kira's master?" (Byakko)

"He is my master." (Kira)

"What a strange creature, your Aura and presence are so strange." (Byakko)

"(He doesn't remember me?)" (I)

"It's nice to meet you Byakko." (I)

"It's also nice to meet you, I hope you keep taking care of me and Kira." (Byakko)

"You can be sure I will." (I)

"Now let's get back to the conversation Kira do you have anything to say about the information I asked for?" (I)

"Yes I have master, I'll start with the information from the Trigan mansion." (Kira)

Kira told me the whole story of the mansion, it was a very sad story, in my opinion, the more I heard about the story, the more it felt like a horror movie.

But since nothing has happened in the last twenty years I think there should be no problem I hope so.

"Well until we move to town let's leave this mansion thing aside." (I)

"Did you find anything about the other information I asked for?" (I)

"I found two suspicious people with the information I got." (Kira)

"Tell me more about these suspicious people." (I)

"The two were wearing the same cursed rings, they are young nobles who are believers in the Church of Light, they have also been acting strange lately, they are being more prejudiced and aggressive than usual." (Kira)

"What you said matches the effects of the cursed items that Viper said the killers would be using, there's a 90% chance it's them." (I)

"You did great Kira." (I)

"What are we going to do now master?" (rica)

"Before I decide what to do I have to know more about their target and who else will be with him." (I)

"I'll get the information we have about the third prince of Cartoza and who will be in the delegation with him." (rica)

rica leaves and returns in a few minutes, she hands the information crystal to Kira who has taken a reading crystal from her bracelet, she inserts the information crystal and starts messing with something in the Reading crystal.

"For starters, I'm going to talk about the third prince of Cartoza, his name is Drago Cartoza he is of the Dragonewt race." (Kira)

"To explain better to the master, the Dragonewts race is a race that has a connection with the True Dragons, they have strong bodies, great amount of energy and are born warriors." (Kira)

"The Kingdom of Cartoza has always been ruled by this family they were founded by this family." (Kira)

"The third prince is a little different from his family's rectum, he is not a warrior, but on the other hand he is very intelligent, there are many who think he can become the next King." (Kira)

"He is known as the weakest member of his family, but his intelligence and wisdom are superior even to those of his father the King." (Kira)

"That's why they picked him as the target of murder because he's the weakest in the family." (I)

"Who will come with him?" (I)

"It will be a troop of twenty soldiers, two members of the Church of Light, a royal guard who will be in charge of the soldiers, two assistants, a maid and the third prince himself." (Kira)

"Tell me about these two members of the Church of Light." (I)

"They are a man and a woman, they both wear masks that hide their faces, they are known as faceless brothers, it seems they were called to the Cartoza Kingdom to fight a monster with shadow attributes, after taking care of the monster they entered the delegation to come to the Trigan Kingdom with the excuse that they needed to go to the Alchemist Guild headquarters." (Kira)

"Man is a warrior who uses sword and shield, his elemental affinity is Light." (Kira)

"The woman also uses light magic she is a White Mage, she has an elemental affinity for Light and water." (Kira)

"Do you know their races and ages?" (I)

"That nobody knows master." (Kira)

"The information also details the road they will take to the town of Valen." (Kira)

"I want you to study this road they are going to take and mark the places you would pick for an ambush." (I)

"Alright master." (Kira)

"The number of soldiers is a little higher than I thought, how are these assassins going to ambush the delegation?" (I)

"I think I know that master." (Kira)

"These two I found in town are buying a lot of magic attack items, probably the other three must be doing the same thing." (Kira)

"Then they must use these magic attack items to kill all or at least most of the soldiers." (I)

"But would they use these items in the delegation?" (Diana)

"They could hurt the faceless brothers by accident." (Diana)

"That won't happen, the third prince's chariot must have many protective spells that should protect whoever is inside, most royal families or important nobles have this type of chariot." (rica)

"If these faceless brothers are as well known as you said, they will definitely be in the carriage." (rica)

"They're probably there to kill the assassins, but they can kill the prince themselves and blame the five noble assassins in this realm to start a war." (I)

"Make no mistake, we are not going to save the prince out of a good heart, I want to capture these two faceless brothers, saving the prince is just a bonus." (I)

"I have a plan, thanks to Kira being able to find two of these assassins we have the advantage of surprise attack." (I)

"We will wait for the attack on the prince to happen before intervening, understand?" (I)

"Yes Master." (rica/Kira/Diana)

"Ibuki didn't understand anything you were talking about, but Ibuki will obey the master." (Ibuki)

"Okay let's talk about some things today, tomorrow you'll get ready, especially you Kira, I have a special place for you on this plane." (I)

"Kira want you to get the book about a family with rica later, I want you to see if you can share your senses with Byakko." (I)

"Alright master." (Kira)

I talked to the girls until nightfall, we only stopped to eat, I haven't released my plan yet, I'll leave that for after rethinking it all over again, to make sure the girls aren't in any danger.
