My Immoral Detective System Chapter 17
Advertisement
While the king was busy blaming himself for not watching over the detective properly, the latter easily sneaked away and hid in the shadows. This was an essential skill he had gained in his previous life. That was also how he hid from that suicide bomber in the first place!
Zion knew that there was a guard who was monitoring him all the time. So he didn't dare to act in an abnormal way before replacing himself with pillows and sneaking out of his room secretly. After that, he kept walking slowly and stealthily across the palace until he could reach the prison area, which was far away in the East.
He exhausted all of his strength just to come here! After wiping sweat from his forehead, Zion squinted his eyes at the guards with elf ears, who were protecting a giant door with metal bars. Now, how would an average detective enter this place? If it were him, he wouldn't enter instantly, since he knew Rhesus would come here looking for him. He would hide in this area and wait for the guards to change their shifts before walking inside.
If possible, Zion might have even taken the disguise of a soldier with a helmet covering his face.
But right now, all he wanted was to tell the entire world that the aristocrat detective had entered this prison. He even planned to give himself away so that the king could easily find him with no hindrance.
Zion's eyes flashed with determination as he thought of something.
Rhesus had many aristocrat officers under him who had permission to enter the prison to interrogate the criminals. So he can pretend to be one and enter. The king would have realized that Vincent was missing from his room. Zion could bet that the first thing that king would do was to suspect that the aristocrat detective was an assassin in disguise who wanted to murder Princess Lia.

After all, the criminal targeted that girl. It was perfectly normal for Rhesus to think like that.
When Zion made the plan to show himself as an aristocrat officer, he didn't wait any longer. This group of guards hadn't seen him entering the main hall of the palace since yesterday. So they wouldn't know who he was!
Thus, Zion didn't bother changing his attire and walked toward the guards, who stopped him and gave him a fierce glance. "Who are you? You're not allowed to enter."
"Not even with His Majesty's permission?"
The guards raised their eyebrows. "Then show the evidence."
Zion nodded and took out a seal he had stolen from one of the aristocrat officers in the passing. The guards glanced at the seal with a dull expression on their faces and nodded. Then they gave him the way to enter the prison.
Once Zion entered, he didn't go inside directly. First, he didn't know which prison Princess Lia was kept in, and second, he wanted to get caught. So wasn't it better to just stand at the point from where the guards could see him clearly?
He moved his gaze and stood beside the first prison door silently, and stared at the lock. He was proficient in picking locks in modern times, and in this world, the technology had collapsed. So since everything looked ancient, it was even easier for him to open the lock before his eyes, but he wouldn't do so.
Zion would just continue to act like he was finding it hard, trying to open this lock.
These prison doors were unique. Without a key, no one could even get a glimpse of who was sitting inside the iron door. An average person couldn't open the window meant for giving food. So even if he had to search for the princess, he would have to open all the locks and see who was inside through the small window.

Just then, he heard a girl's humming sound that faintly reached his ears. He frowned. This voice was familiar. Wasn't this Princess Lia?
Zion leaned toward the door in front of him, and the sound became clearer. So it seemed he really ended up hitting the jackpot.
But he didn't relax his shoulders. He had come here not to interrogate this princess, but to avoid the troubles that would occur in the future. But if a pie fell from the sky, who wouldn't catch it? Naturally, Zion also thought he might as well just ask her a few questions.
So he finally opened his mouth. "Princess Lia?"
The humming sound stopped all of a sudden. Then he heard a groaning sound as someone's footsteps echoed from the inside. Then the girl stopped and said, "Did you find who's the culprit?"
Zion raised his brows. How did she know he was looking for the murderer? But he didn't intend to answer her. He cross-questioned her instead. "Do you know why I'm here?"
"Do you think I'm a God?" Princess Lia Snorted. Her voice was hoarse, but she acted as if she wasn't suffering, and her voice even had strength that made ordinary people bow before her respectfully.
The detective said nothing. Just when he thought the girl would remain silent, she spoke. "I can give you a hint."
Zion frowned. He felt as if this girl already knew who the killer was! His eyes squinted for a moment. But just as he was about to open his mouth to ask something, someone opened the door. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, but his expression didn't change.
He would get more chances to confront that dignified girl. For now, he would have to focus on the task at hand.
What Zion saw before his eyes was a group of guards glaring at him, and behind them was Rhesus, whose face was filled with anxiety.
Did he just strike a win with his deductions? Zion's lips curved up to form a satisfying arc. It looked like this detective's mood turned better all of a sudden.
But the king obviously wasn't happy. He even glared at the detective hatefully and said, "How dare you enter this room?! Guards, capture him!"

Author here (: This is my first time posting any of my works online, and I hope that you enjoy being welcomed into my world, as much as I enjoy creating it for you! I welcome any and all criticism, so long as it is actually something that can benefit my writing (not just random hating and nothing substantial). This story is edited by Nesryn and ArtemisArrow, my dear friends! The cover of this book is not my property, and if you are the actual owner of the image and would like me to take it down please PM me (: I am posting this to see if it generates any interest. If it does, then I will be planning on making more regular posts for chapters. I am intending this to be one book of a series, titled The Lost Royal. I intend to post, at this point, one chapter a week unless I get onto a roll! If this starts to accrue enough interest where I can start focusing solely on writing then more chapters will be released per week. Thanks for your interest, and I hope you enjoy!
8 65The Point Legacy
PLANET EARTH in the year 2020,The ground shakes with a heaven sundering roar, a massive figure is seen in the vast skies above, the figure both stationary but omnipresent. A voice thunders, like the massive roar of the inimitable tide, "You have been selected to represent me in 'The Games'." It sounds almost displeased when it utters the word "selected". "Brace yourself and say goodbye to the little attachment you have to your planet, for never will you see it again, unless...." Then the lights went out on a planetary scale.--------------------------------------------------Each human of every race awakens a new form of levelling, a Point Cloud (search online for the same for a visual impact), each dot in a Point Cloud, known as a Bio Point, can be 'opened' with energy and in doing so will help the person gain more strength. Hope y'all like it.
8 85An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
8 96Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
