《Dusk God》Chapter 10- The Journey To the Capital!
Advertisement
“Where are we!” Kristie yells. After getting caught in the dungeon I messed around with her memories and speed some things up by starting the journey. Well, it's not like she knew anyone there, well but for me.
“Calm down women we are going to the capital. Where do you think we’re going after the king summons me?” I say acting obscurely to throw her off my scent.
“Wait we are leaving, did I get all my stuff?” She says while she checks around. Seeing her bag in the corner she makes a relaxed sigh.
“Yeah quiet down, I'm reading,” I say with makes her remember her place right now and that she’s with a noble.
“I'm sorry lord Dracula for freaking out.” She bows twice before returning to her seat in the carriage, most likely trying to remember things about yesterday.
‘Well, hopefully, that makes her shut up.’ I thought before returning to one of the books about the myths in the area.
About an hour in she begins to go through her belonging. With finding nothing wrong she picks up a paddle from her bag. She plays with it by hitting a ball into the air.
After an hour of continuous playing and of noise making Dracula finally snaps
“Quiet down Knight Kristie or you can walk beside the cart,” I say with an annoyed face. She stops right away and opens the cart and jumps to outside.
“I will walk then my lord.” She says.
“Finally quiet,” I whisper to myself.
“SHTOP THE CART!” I hear an uneducated mans voice outside.
I open the cart door and see about 30 men surrounding us with weapons. I guess I'll leave it to the royal knight.
“Kristie you’re a knight, finish this so we can go,” I say unhesitatingly before going back in to read the rest of the book.
“Yes my lord.” She bows and pulls out her sword and bend her knees going into a lunge. She starts charging to them with her rapier, readying herself to swiftly kill the enemy.
For about a minute the yelling outside had finally stopped and we continued onwards.
After we making a far distance away from the town of Lemyon, inside of a forest road. We made a camp for the night where I slept inside of the cart with Kristie and our cart driver sleeping next to the fire.

In the morning, we made our stop to the next checkpoint in a small village named Cana. In Cana, the highest threat that I’ve heard of is a woman named Kate’s cooking.
I'm not joking about this at all I mean her cooking has literally killed travelers before. The Mayor had gone to her to stop her and had won. After that, no one had let her cooked again. Just let her welcome the consumers inside of the inn she works at, which I am sleeping at currently.
“Good morning Kristie did anything good happen?” I say while I see her looking at me in a trance smiling.
“No my lord its nothing,” she said flushed and quickly looks towards me.
“Okay, but make sure not to cause trouble for me.” Well it's not like anything can stop her from
“Of course my lord.” She answers.
"Since we are going in a couple hours lets shop area," I say. This will create a good opportunity for me to slip away to talk to my servants. I need them to be guarded against the bandits and start a group to start killing them. Thieves are to die, especially when I'm going to set up future projects, kill before it becomes a problem.
I walk around the village and go into a cave after losing Kristie in the shopping area.
“One,” I said and after saying so a red beam teleported in front of me.
“Did anything happen in town? Make sure everything is in order like I requested earlier.” I quickly input to the puppet. Which he responds with a voice neither male or female sounding or even human sounding.
“Yes my lord, everything is in order.”
“Great return.”
After which the figure quickly disappeared and I walk back into the street.
I go to the cart that I told everyone to go to before noon and find that Kristie blushing and was with two guys hitting on her. Which to my surprise was working?
I walked up to them and put my arm on one of the 20-year-olds and tossed him away into the hay storage. I then looked at Kristie and exclaimed.

“I don’t have time for your fooling around, we are going.” I then get into the cart and get the driver to began driving after I flick his shoulder. After doing so Kristie quickly follows without saying anything, leaving the two guys dumbfounded at her speed.
“I heard that only AA ranker could run at the speed of a well-trained horse.” He said tried of talking he began to walk over to the other guy stuck in the hay to help out.
Dracula quickly leaves the village and makes his way to the capital once again. And once they got there Dracula sees tall walls made of flat stone and a gate the size of a two-story house.
Once making it to the gate a guard stops us.
“Show us all your belongings and a list of any goods you might be selling.” Sounding very unhappy with his job, we go through a small search with the help of Kristie’s pendant.
“We shall now report to the king, lord Dracula.”
Once at the inner gates of the Castle, we quickly walk through.
“Once my lord sees the king please follow my example as I'm guessing you have ever seen a king.” She says like she’s a teacher teaching her favorite subject.
“What makes you think I’ve ever seen a king before.” I asked expecting an answer, but she just looked at me for a second with a face saying 'I don’t think you have ever seen a king even in your last life', then turning back to the door before opening it.
“My king I have brought the new Viscount Dracula for you as you requested.” She bows.
“Yes Kristie, please show him to me.” Which I had heard an old man's voice respond.
“Hello my king, I have come as you requested.” I bow humbly before looking at a white-haired man with a golden crown on top of his head in a red and golden outfit.
‘System scan him’ I message to the system through my thoughts.
Male Level 1021 Age 1234 Currently Healthy
The scan was complete and I found that the hydra wasn’t the only X ranked in the world, well I didn't check the others, they aren't a threat to me anyway.
“Hello Dracula, I am king Marwick. And I must say where did you come from.” He states plainly.
“I come from Lemyon my liege.”
“No, I mean where you had lived before coming to Lemyon.” He gives a glare.
“Nowhere special my liege, my parents were traveling merchants until they died and I just went to the closest town to start a new life,” I say while bowing.
“Is that so Dracula.” He then exchanged a glace at Kristie to see if she knew of anything new about him. Which she had to reply to so she lowered her head and pouting.
“Well, then I just wanted to meet you, as you're the newest lord after he retired.” He says where he I begin to think of the man who I saved and who gave me his land. 'I wonder what he is doing.'
“Yes my lord” I bow and then say, “If you need me for anything, please call for me as I will be staying in the capital for a week before returning.”
“Good.” The king responds, “You may leave now. But Kristie you stay.”
“Yes my king,” and with bowing again I made my way outside.
“Kristie he isn’t here anymore let us talk.” The king begins.
“Yes, I have searched the house and didn’t find any connections to the group we thought he belonged to. The only sections of the house I didn’t search were the dungeon and the master bedroom.” She replies.
“Good but be careful of him he doesn’t seem to be normal.”
‘He wasn’t affected at all by my intimidation skill earlier. So he is a hidden enemy or a hidden expert that no one has heard of.’ He thought hoping to grant a new ally but still thinking of all the enemies who could have sent him.
