At the building where the imprisoned Luiz is, we meet Hill and Oleg who brought us to Luiz.

We see the governor who has lost all his strength, unable to move, and unable to speak normally since I cut off his tongue.

"kihh… me…" He begged us.

"Kiss you? Ask Hill for that." I said.

"Roy. I think he's begging us to kill him instead of kiss him." Oleg explained.

"Oh. Well, don't worry. You'll die soon. Probably the cult send assassin to kill you later when you stepped on the stage, but I'll try to protect you until it's time for you to die. The question is, should we let the assassin they send return back to the one who gave that assassin the order, or kill them to keep the cult in the dark? Either way, the cult will soon know that this kingdom is preparing to fight against them." I said.

Luiz's expression changed into despair. Despite his strength reached expert level, not only he lost a fight against a beginner level. Even after losing, he can't do anything other than being my puppet. He can't move, and he can't talk.

Then there's a chance that the cult will send a spy to Melk since the stampede is a failure. The spy will try to assassinate Luiz if we spread the cult's existence and their goal to the world.

If anyone in his place, they would probably have the same expression as he has at the moment.

"Don't worry. I have one good news for you." I said to Luiz.

Then I altered my voice to similar to Luiz and said, "At least your name will be written in history."

"…damn, you're so cruel!" Oleg said.

"That's why I fell in love with him!" Hill proudly exclaimed. I got the shiver again.

"AS A FRIEND! No more than that! A friend who occasionally greeted each other when we met, and play cards, but there's no body contact at all!" I said.

Soon, Shirley come along with several agents and guards. Ms. Wendy and Candy are also here. As for Kayla and the others, they should be at the square right now.

Victoria? She's been with me all this time.

Seeing Shirley has arrived, I opened Luiz's mouth and put Victoria inside.

"Let's practice. With our connection as master and summon, we should be able to interact through our mind as long as we're close, right? Oh, wow! His jaw is really moving up and down whenever I talk. It's working!"

I practiced using Luiz's voice and have Victoria moves Luiz's jaw up and down. As for the shape of his mouth, it's difficult to move it according to what I want. He even tried to close his mouth shut, but I made Victoria opened it forcefully. I hope no one noticed the black slime inside his mouth.

"Are you ready?" Shirley asked.

We planned to walk with these group of people on the street to the square to gain everyone's attention. Ms. Wendy and Candy will stay behind until all of us are nowhere within sight so they can see if anyone is secretly following us.

Although I can see all around me with my Divine Vision, it will be difficult to concentrate on other things while doing something important. I need to learn how to do multiple tasks at once.

"AYE-AYE, PRINCESS!" Victoria replied to Shirley.

Why is she so excited? And it's pretty funny to hear a girl's voice coming out of Luiz's mouth.

"Alright. We have spread the news that I'm in this city. Soon people will see us escorting Luiz to the square and they will follow us after we leave this building. Let's go!"

With Shirley in the lead, Oleg and I carried Luiz in between us. We just pulled each arm and drag him with us since his joints is still dislocated. I have no intention in fixing them.

Of course before we leave the building, we had his head covered with a bag. We won't reveal his identity until we reached the stage at the square. It's to make people curious who the man we bring is

Once we're out of the building, there aren't that many people outside. But as we continue our march to the square, more and more people are looking from the side of the street, and also follow us in the back. All of them are curious about what we're doing.

The rumor that was spread to the people is that the stampede was planned by someone. And the princess is here to prove it. Since Shirley was also present during the battle, some of the hunters trusted the rumor when they see Shirley leading the march. Of course they are surprised to see that Shirley is the princess. They thought from last night's festival that she was just a noble. Not a royalty.

There are also some hunters who didn't do much during the battle and instead tried to flirt with her when Shirley is busy taking injured people to healers. They don't dare to look at her now.

Soon we reached the square and we walked up the stage we previously made for the festival that last only a couple hours. It was a really short festival that makes those who went to rest right away after the stampede unable to attend. Like Kron did.

Once we're at the stage, we tied Luiz to a pole we prepared before so we can at least make him stand. I stand behind the pole while Oleg is near Shirley to protect her.

"People of Melk! My name is Shirley Lucia Tatrama! Sister of the King of Tatrama, Albert! I'm here to tell everyone about the stampede we experienced the other day!" Shirley shouted.

Lucia? I never know her full name before. Well, even if I heard it before, I don't think I'll remember it anyway since she's just Shirley to me.

"She's a princess!?"

"She saved my life in the battle!"

"Oh shit! Did I really tried to flirt with a royalty? Will I be punished?"

There are many voices talking after Shirley leaked her identity. But those are something we expected.

"I am here to tell you all the truth about the stampede! It was all planned by some evil group who wanted to test their strength! What happened is just an experiment for them! An experiment to see how powerful they are with their controlled monsters!" Shirley continued.

Experiment? I never said anything about it, right? I just thought that the stampede is just to show the cult's strength. Well, that seem good enough for the citizens so it's fine.

"There is exist an evil organization in this world with the intention of destroying the world! And the stampede that happen in this city is just the first step toward that goal!"

Come on, Shirley! Raise their hatred! Make the people of this kingdom hatred to the Evil God Cult ingrained into their souls!

"After interrogating this man we caught during the stampede, we know that it also happened in other cities as well! Not just Melk! There are other victims than us in other cities!"

The crowd turned noisy after hearing what Shirley said.

"What? Really?"

"Oh no! What if my parent got caught in the stampede?"

"My hometown! Is my hometown safe?!"

Everyone is so loud that Shirley has no choice but to make stay until everyone calmed down. She looks so lost with all the noise here. I guess I should help her a little.

"Who is it?! Who is the one responsible to all this?! Who are the crazy bastards that think people's lives are so useless in their eyes and tried to kill us all just for an experiment!"

It was me who said it. But because of the noise around, no one knows where the source is coming from. Well, except for those who stand on the stage. Oleg and Shirley looked at me with a confused expression when I suddenly said something, but because of my question, more and more people turned silent because they all want to hear the answer. Who is the one responsible to the destruction of the cities?

After the people started to quieted down, Shirley looked at me with gratitude and continued her speech.

"Calm down, everyone! That's why I'm here! I will tell you what I learned from interrogating this man! You all deserve to know the truth! We have nothing to hide, so calm down and listen to what I say!"

Nothing to hide? We know that stampede is going to happen but instead of stopping it before it happens, we make it happen so we can stop it and show tell people the truth. We have a lot to hide, my dear Shirley. But it's good to say that here since it's what people wanted to hear.

I don't think that Shirley is the kind of girl who lies like that. If I'm not wrong, the ones who wrote her speech is Ms. Wendy, Candy, and Kayla. With the help of Victoria. And maybe Sonia as well. She's going to Albert's place and here over and over again to help Shirley with her speech.

I only heard that from Victoria so I don't know the truth. I think it all happen when I was taking my nap.

"The stampede happened because of this evil organization! This Evil Cult! We don't know their name yet, but they are a cult with evil intention!"

Evil Cult is a cult with evil intention! Oh, wow! I'm so surprised to know the truth!

This part is so stupid. Who is the one responsible for this part? My guess is Angela.

"There are many cities in our kingdom, but there is a reason why Melk city is being targeted. It was because of this man!" Shirley pointed at Luiz.

"This is the man responsible for the stampede to happen in this city! This man joined the cult for a long time and told the cult that if they are targeting a city, why not Melk? This guy is… Luiz! The governor of this area!" Shirley said as she took off the bag covering Luiz's head to show the people his identity as the one who should be ruling this city.

"What?!"

"No way!"

"It's all his fault?"

Everyone is unable to believe it at first. But since it was the princess who said it, and she also saved a lot of lives during the stampede, most people believed right away.

Then it will be my turn soon.
