《My Magical System 》Chapter 92: Someone capable
Advertisement
When the paper was presented to him with his signature on it, Elder Grenn tried to deny it. But when the officer Guwang Ho tried to ask him some of his signatures, Elder Grenn found himself at a loss.
He was taken aback when Detty told the parliament people to take him.
Actually, in Detty's mind, there were many ways to absolve the case. But for now, it was better for Elder Grenn to follow what the parliament wants.
Attract the parliament with money? Women? Yeah, these methods may work. Killing them here? Is a big no. The higher-ups might already know about this case. So if these people suddenly went without a trace, they could only blame the Grenn family. And the whole Gentlewind family might be dragged on it.
They could also use some underhanded methods to solve the case later. Needless to say, the most pressing issue would be the Gentlewind family name being sullied.
Detty bit her lips, looking like she made a decision in the heat of the moment. But she could not retreat back to what she just said. Regardless, if ever, the family by whole was dragged in Elder Grenn's issue. They could overthrow the Grenn family and cut any ties from them.
Yet Detty knows that it is unlikely to happen. Although the Gentlewind family was only the third to the last strongest family. They have the power to manipulate the results later. Of course, they could not let Elder Grenn to be left out.
As long as the complainants were not part of the great family also. This kind of issue was so easy for the Gentlewind family to absolve.
They could promote an actor to act as the mastermind of all. To play the rule of a real villain who manipulated the bandits behind the scene to point Elder Grenn as the instigator. Such a trick is an easy peasy for the Gentlewind family.

They could not let Elder Grenn fall in the jail at this time around. Elder Grenn is just lucky that the main house is still in need of his cooperation.
Someone like him who was easy to manipulate can serve as a good puppet to the main family.
In just a span of a moment, this whole thing of planning already concluded in Detty's mind.
She would explain to Janrui her plan later to calm her down.
Before the parliament people took the elder, Detty asked if who was the complainant who filed the complaints.
"The complainants are a noble family. The owner of the famous blacksmithing shop in the empire."
"The Smith family?" Detty suddenly made a guess. Since there are only a few famous blacksmithing shops in the empire, the most leading one is the noble Smith family.
Seeing the officer Guwang Ho nodded, Detty had a face that looked like she just gulped a bitter food.
The Smith family had a close relationship with the emperor. The empire's weapons were mostly ordered from The Smith family Smithing Shop, whereas the Smith family gave 25 percent of discounts to the empire. Not only that, but the Smith family was also known for their workmanship.
With this, Detty could only comply with the parliament.
The elder had a sour face for the whole time. He tried to deny the accusation and roared on top of his lungs. He growled that he would not go with the parliament. Even shouted Mister Fem's name. But his butler Mr. Fem could not be found at the moment.
Janrui tried to stop the parliament from taking his father, but Detty's twin maids grasped her with Detty's command. Although Janrui was a gold stage magician, the twin maids were lucky-irregular and in gold stage also.

Detty whispered in Elder Grenn's ears. Which enabled him to calm down somehow. Even though contrary to himself, he had to comply for now. If what that woman whispered to him was true. Then tomorrow morning he would come back to his manor again.
Detty also explained to Janrui about her plan. Which calmed her down.
Detty is a known genius of the Gentlewind family. Although she was not gifted by strong magical energy, she was a planner and a genius plotter.
One hour later after the parliament took Elder Grenn with them. Detty was now sitting in a metal chair painted in white. She was contemplating at the moment like something was bugging her.
Like she just missed something important. Lifting the liquor towards her mouth. The sensation of liquid with a strong smell wetted her red lips. Just a slight sip of liquor to add a taste in her drying tongue.
Her eyes were unfixed-looking to the faraway land beyond the shade of the mountain towards the boundless night.
In her mind, she was trying to recall something. Something that she might miss. Scrutinizing an important piece in her vague memories.
"My lady, is there something that is bothering you?" One of the twin maids sitting in the opposite of her suddenly asked when she noticed her bothered expression surfacing on her face.
Detty touched her own face. Seemingly aware of the expression that she was wearing at the moment.
"No, Lila, it's just —" Detty's words did not finish. When her eyes landed on the group of Grenn family guards, at the distance marching towards the gate area.
Her eyes widened when a realization happened in her mind.
"Lila, Lili, quickly, follow the parliaments and rescue the elder!" Detty cried out.
The twin maids looked at each other, seemingly shocked from Detty's sudden command. Yet the two of them nodded in unison.
And without asking why, their silhouette vanished in front of Detty. They leaped onto the roofs of the houses inside the Grenn family manor. In just a few seconds their silhouette vanished again in the dark when the two of them leaped outside towards the direction where the parliament people went.
Detty could not believe, why did she assume that the enemy would attack this place blindly? Looks like she belittled this person. She wondered if who was this person that the Elder Grenn became an enemy with. That person seemed to be not ordinary. She guessed that this person might be from a big family also. Someone who is capable of planning such a thing, there's no way an ordinary citizen of the empire could do it!
She bit her lips. And wished that Lila and Lili arrived on time.

Seeker
The Gods are dead As they bled dry, so did the magic which gave them birth. In the new era of technology, its pathetic remnants must hide in the shadows or be locked away. In the ancient era of magic two beings often stood out: Galileo, an immortal scholar obsessed with knowledge and Angelica, the most loyal servant of the greatest among the now dead Gods. But why are they worthy of mention? Because after millennia of isolation, the two emerge in the new world beyond their reckoning. The entire story is told from the third person, however, each chapter will be told from the perspective of only one of the characters. This will be signified by the first letter of their names after the chapter number to avoid confusion. I submitted this fiction as a [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] as well as a participant in National Novel Writing Month. The original challenge had been to finish this entire faction within the month of November reaching the 55.5k word minimum. This goal had been achieved. I do not own the cover picture
