33 days after the explosion - Magic university

Of course he didn't forget to bring the bribe. He had to pay 3 times the price since it was closing time and they didn't feel like doing it, but he insisted and managed to strike a deal

Since it was a matter of life and dead, he didn't try to lower the price (too much). He did have the option of going the next day since he could make an order and get them around 6 am since they started baking at 4 am. The problem was that the information was only relevant for a couple of days, so the faster they get it over with, the better

This made it an absolute necessity to get right away or things could turn out quite badly

So he enters the magic university like he owned the place, with the cakes bribes, and went directly to the secret room with the two girls

"Hey sis, miss m "(prince)had to dodge a fireball that went directly to his face

Luckily he was prepared for a welcome like that or his face would have been roasted like a pig

"whoa sis, you almost hit me"(prince)said while getting inside and carefully watching his surrounding

"Tsk, I missed"(Rebecca)clicked her tongue in disappointment and returned to work at her desk

"I love you too sis..."(prince) was already getting used to this kind of treatment, sadly

"So what do you want? it is quite late you know"(Rebecca)

She kept working at her desk, but still managed to sound extremely annoyed

"Here, I brought some cakes"(prince)approached Rebecca and presented the bribe/offering

"I know, or I wouldn't have thrown you just 1 fireball"(Rebecca) shrugged while turning around and greedily taking the bribes/offerings

"Really, can't you be a little nicer to your little bro?"(prince)

"Nope"(Rebecca)

"Fine, let's talk business then. I need your help in taking down the duke"(Prince)

This made Rebecca stop opening the cakes and look at the prince

"Wait wait wait wait wait, what?"(Rebecca)shocked

"Like I said, I need to take down the duke, he tried to kidnap me"(Prince)

"No way, the duke? are you sure you didn't get the wrong person? you ARE a moron anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a thing or two wrong"(Rebecca)

ouch, haven't been called that in a while(Prince)

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I am pretty sure he had some involvement with the explosion. It's the best way to find out who tried to kill us or he may even be THE person that tried to kill us"(prince)

"Fineeee, you got my attention. Tell me the whole story"(Rebecca)

So prince told her everything that he found out, including the information he got from Roxanne while omitting some stuff that may bring him troubles like who Roxanne and the old man were and how he knew them. Not like Rebecca cared about that stuff

"So, our options are to attack at the party, at his house or at the palace?"(Rebecca)

"Pretty much"(prince)

"Then let's get it over with, I don't want to waste my precious time in pointless stuff"(Rebecca)

"what do you want to do?"(prince)

"Shut up for a second"(Rebecca)

Afraid that Rebecca would send him another fireball, Prince shut up and waited to see what she wanted to do

Prince thought that she would cast a spell, like usual, but instead she went near a box and started to look inside it and she took two of them out of it. One was a staff and the other something similar a small bird that looked similar to a hummingbird

She put some mana into the bird and staff, and the bird started moving while the staff started generating a light from a crystal at the end of it

Rebecca pointed the light at the wall, and prince instantly realized what it was for since the moment the light illuminated the white wall, it showed a projection of Rebecca's face.

It didn't take a genius to see that the projection showed what the bird was watching since the bird was watching Rebecca's face at the moment, and as soon as it moved, it showed what it should be in his line of sight

Rebecca then started to concentrate, and the hummingbird started to fly away into the night. Since it was pretty late, the University was almost empty so no one saw the hummingbird move around and managed to reach outside without problems

The streets were also pretty deserted, and since the hummingbird could fly pretty high and with the help of the night, it reached the Duke's mansion without problems.Prince thought he would have to give directions to Rebecca to get here, but it seems she probably visit the place before or knew how to get there from the paper Roxanne gave the prince

But now that the bird got there came the hard part, getting the bird inside without someone noticing

There were two guards outside the door to the mansion, nothing strange for someone of duke's caliber, and they even look like they were warriors(again, nothing strange for someone of duke's caliber)

The hummingbird kept moving around the mansion, probably looking for a window open. Sadly, all the windows were closed, so the bird also couldn't get inside that way, so instead the bird started to look window for window until it hit the jackpot

Inside was a big room with a really big bed and a really big man sleeping on it. Since the bird had something similar to night vision, it could see that the big fat man sleeping on the bed was the duke.Since it was his own home, the chance of him been a body double were minimal, so the prince and everyone present were sure that it was him

The bird rested on the window, and suddenly the projection stopped. Prince looked back at Rebecca, and he saw her putting down the staff

"Nice spying tool, where did you get it?"(prince) wonder since it was really useful and he would love to get one of those. Definitely not for indecent purpose, definitely

"I made it myself of course"(Rebecca)said it like it was obvious

nuuuu, I won't be able to peep at the woman's bathroom now(prince)seriously lamented

But he managed to recover and asked

"Soo, how are we getting inside?do we take down the guards and go from the front door?"(Prince)

"Eh?that sounds annoying, why not just teleport inside"(Rebecca)

Prince and the other two girls that were watching on the sidelines were confused at her statement until they saw her gathering the mana around them wich was a really really bad thing, since a person couldn't normally see the mana around them

"Wait wait wait, what that's supposed to mean?you want to go now?"(Prince)

"Dhuuuu, just shut up, I will perform some delicate spells so don't distract me or I may accidently open a wormhole again"(Rebecca)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN!!!!"(Prince)

"SHUT UP!!!"(Rebecca)glared at him

And prince shut up since he was sure she wasn't kidding about the wormhole

Both prince, Sussan, and Aria waited patiently while praying to god since there was a chance they would die in a horrible way at any moment

Luckily the spell worked fine since they saw a portal in the middle of the room, and at the other side was the duke's room

"Prince, you go first since there is a chance you will explode in million of pieces"(Rebecca) said smiling at him while throwing a bomb

"wait! shouldn't Susan or Aria go first then? one is a slave and the other my bodyguard"(prince) tried to wise his way out of it

This made both Aria and Susan turn pale since they didn't want to die, especially in such a horrible way

"Nonono, this is a gentlemen job, how could you leave it to this poor girls"(Rebecca)

"Sorry sis, but I am pro gender equality, so I believe the right person for the right job, and this is a job for a bodyguard or a slave, not me"(prince) didn't give up

"It may have sounded like a request, but it was an order! you go first or I make you, which one do you prefer?"(Rebecca)

And with that, prince was left with no choice but to go first

So after gathering his courage(something that has repeated a lot lately), he stepped inside the portal and blow up in million of pieces

The end

not

He crossed fine and Rebecca was laughing her a-s off at him for the face he made. It even took her a while to calm down

"Can't believe you fall for that!"(Rebecca)said while shedding a tear after laughing so hard

"Fine, are you guy coming or what?"(prince)

"Fine, you two go, I am right behind you"(Rebecca)

So the two girls went inside and Rebecca follow them a moment later

And the moment they got inside the room, all four of them turned around and looked at the duke, that had gotten awake after all the noise they made

You could even see his disbelieve, shock and fear on his face, trying to understand what the f-ck was going on

Meanwhile, prince smiled at him while cracked his knuckles, it was about f-cking time he got some answers
