《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 91 - Asylla: Care to explain yourself? (Diablo III)
Advertisement
Leaving the job of of tasking The Nephalem to the Wretched Queen who was once the first handmaiden under Queen Asylla, Shang provides Asylla a vessel and brings both of them back to Tristram via Waypoint.
In the Cursed Hold…
????: GUARDS! GUARDS!
A giant skeleton who is wielding a weapon that looks similar to the legendary weapon, Crushbane appears in the middle of the Cursed Hold and starts shouting.
Several guards appear by either crawling towards him with one hand or by climbing the walls.
Guard #??: Yes, Warden?
Warden: Someone has escaped from us and this cannot be allowed! Station more guards! I don’t want to see this happening again!
Guard #??: Understood, Warden.
Thanks to Shang, the minions of Cursed Hold have increased and become stronger.
Back in New Tristram…
Shang goes to Cain’s house the moment he arrives via Waypoint.
Cain: So did you find her?
Cain asks Shang when he enters the house.
Shang: Yup.
Shang shows Cain a red jewel necklace which has a yellow talisman pasted on it by holding it in front of him.
Shang: How’s King Leoric?
Cain: Come with me.
Cain leads Shang to a hidden cellar door and climbs down.
In the cellar room, a crowned skull with grey hair is placed in the middle of a strange formation where it is made of red strings and yellow talismans.
Words could be heard repeated muttering from the skull.
Skull: Aidan... Albrecht… Asylla… What have I done? What have I done?
Shang: You told him everything?
Shang looks at Cain.
Cain: Not everything. I am careful not to mention what have happened to the queen and the two princes.
Shang: And how did he find out?
Eamon: Because of me.
A spirit pops out from a sword which is placed near the cellar ladder.

Eamon: King Leoric should know the wrongdoings he has done after he has overcome with madness.
Shang: This poor man just got his mind restored a couple of days ago and you just lectured him without giving it a thought?
Before Shang left for the Cursed Hold, both Cain and him tried to restore Leoric’s mind with Horadric magic.
It didn’t work out as Leoric whose powers are sealed screams at them for being traitors and other stuff.
Shang creates a short pedestal version of Nokogiri which has the power to give anyone who has physical contact with it inner peace and calmness and places the skull above it.
Due to the effect, Leoric stops screaming and starts questioning about his kingdom and family.
Shang leaves the storytelling part to Cain and left. He did not expect Haedrig’s grandfather would do something like that.
Eamon: He’s a king! If he cannot overcome a small matter like this, he is not fit to be the King of Tristram!
Shang: Tell that to his Queen.
Shang removes the yellow talisman from the necklace and the headless spirit appears.
Shang’s yellow talismans prevent spirits from coming out but they do not prevent spirits from sensing, talking, watching and listening.
Eamon: Qu… Queen Asylla!
Eamon mutters as he recognizes the headless female spirit.
Asylla: It has been a long time, my dear Chancellor Eamon. I have heard that you think my husband is unfit to be a king. Care to explain yourself?

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
