《The Summoned Queen[Revamp]》Chapter 22 Is it finally time for some action?
Advertisement
I set up a different schedule that will take 2 days for a new chapter to come out hope you guys enjoy the extra long chapter I made for you guys.
What!?! How was I not able to feel her presence at all? It's like she was a ghost hidden in the darkness waiting to strike at the most opportune moment where my guard was down or she got there without me noticing? This is confusing me but for now I need to get rid of her before she is able to call for help and ruin my chances of escape.
From what I can see from looking at her, she is able to hide from my detection range that is put around the manor. The girl is also wearing clothing for stealthy mission similar to mine. Is she also trying to do the same thing as me and get information that is able to harm the Duke as well?
We looked at each other for quite some time now and both of us have the same goal of getting something from the Duke but we don't know what the other side wants. It will become a stalemate if someone doesn't do anything and also a guard is on there way here so I need to make this quick.
The both of us stares each other down, until I was the first to say something that would go either way for one of us.
"Okay I don't want to burst your bubble but whatever you are searching is not my problem so continue with your little search when I leave."-Suno
I said with a quiet voice and prepared to sneak away in a moment, but it looks like she isn't going to back up and continues to talk.
"Sorry, but I have you know that the thing you are holding in your hand is something I want so give it to me and everything will be okay."-Masked girl
Damn it! Things are looking complicated, if she is after the same information as me and with her skills it would be a difficult fight until one of us either dies and alert the guards. She also probably knows this as well and is staying at the same stance waiting for me to make my move.
"That is going to be a problem."-Suno
She looks a bit aggravated by my announcement and takes another stance that is almost full of killing intent. I look at her and prepare my magic getting ready to attack as well, that is until a person rudely interrupted our fight by closing in on our location and she closes the door silent. The both of us disappear like the wind and wait for whoever it was that is closing in on our position.
The door was being unlocked yet again and we hid in the same freaking spot! I tried to forced this girl into a different spot but it was already too late for that to happen. I breathe a sigh at this weird situation we got to this point, where we are basically sharing the roof top that has the most darkness and a wooden plank to hold us on it. The girl was sitting on top of me while I tried to move around in this narrow space with multiple planks intersecting around us.
I almost start laughing at how stupidly we are position, as she is sitting on top of me while I lie on the wooden plank. Well enough sex jokes or else I might blow our cover but I got to have the smallest giggle.

"Stop that."-Masked girl
She whispered but I laughed a little more until I calmed myself down a bit to hear who entered the room. Now the person we are looking at is none other than the Duke himself and he is thinking quite loud to himself that he started speaking.
"When we finally pull this plan off I will finally be able to have the princess all to myself and I would be the King that will rule this country hahahahahah!"-Kasark
How careless is this guy, announcing his plans to himself without making sure someone might be eavesdropping. If this guy ruled the kingdom it will surely be destroyed in less than a year but that is not the problem. What I'm worried about is how the influence will Lunar Eclipse gain if he ruled the Kingdom now that is what I'm worried about. The reason is because the Toria Kingdom isn't small, but more of the opposite as they have annex multiple other nations in the past ever since Sora rule and right now.
I bet Queen Rose probably knows about the Duke's betrayal and have no evidence to prove his wrongdoing. That is why I will go to the Queen and get her these papers or one of her spies I found stooping around.
When I was contemplating my plans a certain masked girl started releasing small amounts of blood lust but just enough for me to sense it. I looked at her a little bit before breaking my gaze. Does this girl have something against Kasark? I wondered in my head and stopped because it isn't in my plans to go into another past.
We waited for Kasark to pick up some papers and leave his room laughing like a idiot before me and masked lady here gets down from the roof. She was the first to get down because you know our positioning on top of it.
"So, can I have the papers in your hand?"-Masked girl
I look at her and back to my hand before I put my finger on my chin for a couple of seconds.
"What about if you tell me a good reason for me to do it and I might consider it. That is after we leave the manor and go into a more private area."-Suno
She sigh a little bit before saying her next words back to me.
"Fine let's go somewhere else a little more private."-Masked girl
With our decision resolved the both of us escaped from the heavily defended Duke's house and gone to the alleyway where no one was around. I stood right up and looked at the young lady who had started to take off her mask.
"Gotta take off my mask if we are going to negotiate."-Mask girl
I followed as well since this is a negotiate we have to be on equal terms or else things won't be fair. Now what popped into view was a girl with red eyes and sliver hair also dog ears.
Wait a minute this girl is Lilith from the Inn why is she doing here?!? So, who's she was talking about her dad was a little too weird. I contemplated to myself until Lilith made the same shock face as me and we looked at each other for quite some time.
The first one to break the silence was none other than Lilith.
"W-what are you doing here Suno!?!"-Lilith
I looked at her a little bit longer before I responded.
"Well hmmmm I was busy working."-Suno
No my excuse is ruined what should? What could I do? This situation is really awkward and weird hmmmm let's try to say something that is a little more believable. She looked at intently before I started talking yet again.

"Oh fine, I was information searching in the Duke's office about a certain organization and that's about it."-Suno
She looked at me again to check if I was lying and sigh with her arms crossed from each other. I looked at her with a sinister smile before I ask my questions.
"Now, now I won't let you lead me by my nose, tell me why a Innkeeper like you are bursting into a Duke's house as well."-Suno
She looked at me again and sighed yet again before putting her hand on her chin.
"Just like you I was also after information as well, that would seriously hurt the Duke it was my plan to go in and out with the information I would leak to the Queen or someone with high authority that could be trusted."-Lilith
Interesting she was also trying to disrupt the Duke's plan of domination over the Kingdom and from what she told me I can probably fill in the gaps of the reasoning behind it. Reasons probably has to do with her father but what did Kasark do to make it seem like a accident, is beyond my comprehension.
I looked out at the streets that were full of light and with the night sky looming with stars. I started contemplating on my next move after getting some pretty important information.
I looked at Lilith and she looked back at me to where I smiled.
"I have a plan Lilith and you are coming with me as well."-Suno
What I said confused her and she looked at me telling to explain what I'm talking about.
"Well you see Lilith I have a plan to assassinate the Duke, so do you have anything you need to get?"-Suno
...
Morning soon brighten up the sky as I sat back at the Lilith's Inn and waited for a bit. I decided it was about time to pick up my disciples that are still probably trying to catch Night in which I told them as a trial. Moving through the city with ease I arrived outside of the city walls and see both of them on the ground with a smile on their face.
'Did they really catch him?' I thought to myself and moved to confront my 2 student who are battered and on the floor waiting to be healed or something along those lines. I walked towards them and their smile grew larger until it looked like they wanted to rub it in.
"Haha! We finally caught that stupid bunny."-Amethyst
I looked at them and back to Night who stared at me and made a sound that bunnies usually make.
"Night did they catch you?"-Suno
I looked at Night and he made that sound again and I read his body language which was something like 'no they did not catch me or anything like that, they are only saying it because they can't read an animal body language.' Something along that and I looked at them yet again and blinked several times.
"Are you sure that you did it?"-Suno
Sometimes I don't know who is lying when it comes to something like this as Night is kinda of a prideful animal.
"Why would we be lying!?"-Amethyst
I than looked right back at Night and his body language tells me 'well look at it this way master would I really lie to you?' Which I would believe if Snow from before didn't want to rip up the girls I asked her to protect, so there is that as well.
"Well... Night said that the both of you are lying about catching him."-Suno
Amethyst and Riko looked at me and than Night which I started seeing sparks of lighting clashing between them for some reason. I looked at both of them and sigh until they stop bickering with there bodies. As I read animal body language for years I could tell they are having a heated argument right now about who won and what not.
I waited a little bit longer till I finally stepped in stopped the 2 with my own blood lust. Everyone freezes on the spots until they finally broke free from it at least they resisted it more than the last time I fought Amethyst and Riko. While Night just opened his mouth like he is yawning before closing it again looking a little bit tired from last night trial.
"Enough of it all you! I want you guys to follow me because I have something special for the 3 of you."-Suno
I had my plans set and I want their help for the coming event that I am planning out just for a certain Duke. I also called Maria as well Londora who are still training in the Forest Darius with a long range communication magic. But it seems like delays happened since they are probably training at the moment.
I don't want to mess with their training so I cancel my magic and begin to drag Amethyst, Riko, and Night to the Inn where Lilith is helping me out. People looked at us strangely since I had my disciple around the neck and dragged them across the ground until we were finally at Lilith's Inn.
We walked into the Inn and gone up to the room that I rented out and sat on the table which was put there. I gotta say Lilith is good at keeping her Inn clean and not only that her food is delicious. Now if only people stopped discriminating this place would become more popular.
The 2 other also sat down and began to look at me with eyes determined. I stared at the both of them with my aura turning serious and began to talk.
"It seems like I have a mission for both of you and it's something BIG!"-Suno
They looked at me a little confused on what I am talking about and began my explanation.
"Oh come is it really anything that big."-Riko
I smiled a bit to myself and look at him.
"Okay if you consider assassinating the Duke Karsark not big than I don't know what is."-Suno
Their reaction was funny as hell but I kept it to myself as they made that 'eh!?!?' sound that came out of their mouth. I kept on my serious face trying to not laugh and continue with explaining things.
"Well you guys can either bail out right now or we can get onto the planning."-Suno
They had realized what they are doing could change their whole life depending on the answer that is given to me by them and if they tell I will have them dead. So, I waited for them and it seems like they are thinking for quite some time until they made the decision.
"What is the reasoning for the assassination of the Duke?"-Amethyst
The girl said with a stern face and look straight at me.
"I can't say until you accept my request.
That was my obvious answer because you don't just carelessly throw out information without actually giving something in return.
"Very well we accept."-Amethyst and Riko
Now it was my turn to be surprised with my eyes blinking multiple times will I stare at them in the face.
"You serious?"-Suno
"Yes."-Amethyst and Riko
"You're not going to like take hours upon hours to ponder about it?"-Suno
"No."-Amethyst and Riko
"Is that so, I guess my preparation for you guys declining isn't necessary now, how boring."-Suno
I sigh and look at my loyal disciplines that seem to accept this request like it's no big deal. I scratch my head for a couple of minutes before I tell about how the Duke is part of a secret group of elites that are causing trouble across the continent. I even showed them of evidence to support it.
"So what's the plan."-Amethyst
I looked at her before continuing my plan on taking out the Duke.
"The Duke is traveling out of the city to probably meet up with some high ranking nobles and probably other members of Lunar Eclipse. I want you to ambushed the convoy and distract the guards until I give out the signal. I will be in the trees waiting for you guys to run away to go into a trap that is prepared for the guards. I also prepared some equipment if things get hairy."-Suno
I had already planned out the pros and cons of killing the Duke and whatever troubles it comes with it will be mine. With my plan set in stone I have my disciples and the masked Lilith coming along with us be I didn't tell them about her.
Yo I plan to make the chapters longer using different measures like PoV switching(which I know some of you don't like) and other means to make my chapter more refined to actually call it a chapter.
