《Pact with a soul of hell.》favor?

It was Xavier's most tiring evening. However, it was not that bad.
He managed to create capital for his business.
The next day. Xavier wakes up in the palace room of Rannsaka. During breakfast, Sebastian was the busiest person.
He has dealt with all the procedures so that Xavier can get all the official means. And it was pretty big.
He has more than Xavier owns. But money was not the most important.
Xavier is the only man in Bellatrix who has legal territories in Rannsaka.
A citizen from other countries could hardly buy land in Rannsaka, especially Bellatrix. But Xavier didn't buy. He won on a bet. One legally signed, with witnesses. Most importantly, the one who lost the bet has assumed.
Everything was perfect in order. Of course, Xavier will be the only one who can do that. Because immediately after Xavier received official endorsements, Emperor of Rannsaka gave a decree prohibiting betting with officials from other countries.
Imperial Palace, Princess Ingrid's study room.
Locki, standing in a vertical position with a serious look.
- You mean you can't find out anything?
-Majesty, I've tried all the methods. We don't know who killed her. Although I asked the question, nobody knows anything.
We can not deduce how he could get inside without alarming anyone.
- You mean, my best informant died without someone finding out something?
-I, deserve to be punished.
Ingrid's gaze was cold. It was clear she wasn't happy.
One, of her most loyal people, was murdered. And she didn't know how to find the guilty.
On the other hand, Xavier was very relaxed. It had a few days before returning.
He wanted to take advantage of everything and see the infrastructure of the Rannsaka kingdom.
So he started with the palace. And he was impressed. If Bellatrix doesn't improve fast, there will be a devoured.

What attracted Xavier's attention was a garden. It was huge. Full with plants that Xavier didn't know.
Not even in his old life did he see such a thing.
Of course, where Xavier was, there was an open area. He was curious about the other areas. But he would probably die if he came in there.
It couldn't even receive permission to get out of the palace.
Walking through the garden, Xavier is attracted to a woman in white clothes.
-My Lady, last time when I saw thee, you looked like the night sky. Full of mystery. Today you are like the morning. Full of uncertainties. Did something happen?
Xavier could not see her emotions. Of course, she was wearing the necklace.
That doesn't mean he didn't know body language.
The woman's hand played with her hair, while eyes were lost.
If Xavier had talent in the drawing or a camera would capture the moment.
Together with the landscape of the garden. O, boy. Those eyes.
Not to mention her face. Oh, God. No matter how Xavier wants to hide, he can't.
Plus the woman in front of him beat him once. He has to find a way to counterattack.
But how can you think of the counterattack when she is sitting there, with that look on the face.
-Xavier, I guess that you're accustomed to the palace.
- Hospitality is great. But palaces have seen. Faces of ordinary people don't.
-OH. Does the prince want to come out? You know, it's for your safety.
[Sounds like a prison for me]
-In the cage, the bird not sings on joy, but for an annoyance.
-Ohm. What would you do to get out?
Ingrid looked up at Xavier's face. Visual contact.
Xavier started to laugh. Ingrid was puzzled.
That was Xavier's favorite question.

- Many people will say, they would do anything. You know why?
-Why?
- Because they only think about them. I'm thinking about the questioner. So what do you want from me to do?
-I only need a second opinion.
-My lady, can't solve a problem?
-Can you say so?
- Well, my lady is willing to offer my intellect for a favor.
-Do not you want to go outside?
- My lady, I can think of some ways to get out of here. However, you can't find ways to solve your problem.
So my problem is not as hard as yours.
-How do I know you can help me?
-You can decide this while solving the problem.
-What favor?
-A little one.
-GOOD. Follow me.
After a few minutes walking, Xavier arrived in Ingrid's study room.
[That turned out pretty fast. ]
Once Xavier sat on the chair, Ingrid took out a file.
Xavier was not sure if Ingrid needed help. But he had to find out more about her. And what's the best method? Of course, you spend time with her.
Create a profile. See what she likes. What dislikes.
Adapt yourself.
It sounds more like marriage. Exactly that's it.
He has to gather information and if that can bring a favor, it's even better.
It can be a trap. But she definitely can't kill him. And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Xavier starts reading the file.
Of course, they could not find anything. It's the work of a pro. Even in his world, there were. And he had interaction with them. Actually, he loved to use such people.
They were fast, and do not ask questions.
-My lady, have you heard of contract criminals?

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
