Volume 1

Chapter 7 – Diden Leader Of The Minotaur’s

Well, Zexious have you found Aluvia??

Well, sir about that umm… we haven’t found her yet.

ARRGH what’s the reason why can’t you just track her already or are you just that incompetent?

Well sir you see we ran into a troubling customer… uh you see some of my men went with the monster squad to hunt for Aluvia but they ended up running into a Dark Cumulus and after that a pack of umm uhh… Dark Wolves appeared and then they chased those adventurers out of the forest and now they are attacking anyone who tries to enter also sir I think I should mention the leader of the pack is a white-colored wolf.

So many troubles and problems in the city and they all had to show their ugly face right now haa…ahh guess there is nothing that can actually be done right now we should wait a few days and form a battalion of soldiers who will storm the forest. How many wolves do you predict there are?

AHH, there should be around 60.

Okay then form a squad of 100 soldiers then annihilate the monsters and as soon as you are done with that proceed further in and look for Aluvia her death is absolutely necessary.

YESS MY LIEGE!!

***

Hey before we start, do you mind telling me how many wolves are guarding this place right now.

That would be about 37 excluding me that is.

Okay, that is good we do need some troops. Now let’s stop getting sidetracked and talk about the plan to take Estelle is…

Okay, so what do you wanna talk about??

Aluvia you served the King and you were also a part of the army Head of the mages I believe, …Yes??

Yes, I was the head of mages.

So, when you were a part of the army did the army have any monsters in its ranks??

There is only one squad… the defense squad was the only squad built completely out of monsters. Minotaur’s to be more exact.

Now I assume that Lionel has some sort of bargaining chip… something that is forcing the Minotaur’s to follow his orders?

Yes, you see Minotaur’s are monsters very loyal to each other, they consider anyone of their species family and Lionel took advantage of that he captured some of the Minotaur’s and threatened to kill them if the Minotaur’s would not follow his orders. To further secure his position in the deal he also took the family members of individual Minotaur’s hostage.

(She did not use the title King guess she really is excepting the reality.)

So… *exhales* it is just a matter of family. Well… do you happen to know the leader of all the Minotaur’s?

Yes, the leader of the Minotaur’s would be Diden.

Okay, do you know where we can find Diden?

Yes, I know where you could find him… but why do you need to know that??

It’s because I have a proposal for him… we should try getting in contact with him, Kiria do you think you could get us there.

Not a problem!!

(This is such a silly job to give her I mean I could fly there if I wanted to but… ahh I feel bad for her.)

(AAH I get to be Master Storm’s personal ride I can’t wait, I am so excited!!!)

So, Aluvia where can we find Diden?

Diden’s post is at Eastern Gate which is on the other side of where we currently are.

Wait how did you know where we are right now???

Oh, that I went on a walk after I got up.

Well anyways, let’s pack all things up we will leave in an hour there should be no problem for us to sneak past the guards during the night.

***

Hahahha come on try to catch me Diden.

You little brat I promise once I get my hands on you, I am going to kill you…

*slice*

This will be the fate of all your brethren if you dare to defy me. Keep the image of this severed head in your mind, and think of it whenever you feel like beginning a mutiny against me.

*crack*

Little bro what happened??????

Haah *panting* (Looking down on his locket.) Little bro, I promise one day I will avenge your death and free all of our brethren from the shackles of this heinous human.

*knock**knock*

Uhhh… *door opens* what’s going on why did you wake me up so early. (jumps back) !!who are you!!?

Calm down there big boy I am just a blue-haired guy goin around town trying to find you. You see I wanted to have a little chat with you.

(What’s going on here is this an ambush)

You’re welcome to enter I guess!!

Oh, there are 4 of us by the way I don’t want you to be alarmed. (Storm lets Aluvia, Kiria, and another companion wolf in.) So let’s begin with introductions I am Storm and these two are…

My name is Aluvia it's been a while Diden.

(Storm was so gentle while riding me his touch is so warm, delicate, caring, …)

Kiria… Kiria.

!!What’s happening!!

Let it be. So, as I was saying I want to have a little conversation with you. Now I want to know are you willing to hear me out.

(What should I do Aluvia is with him so maybe hearing this guy out is the best thing.)

I will hear what you have to say.

Great then let’s talk. You guys can you please wait outside. Make sure no one interrupts. Now then are you tired of this life.

What??

Are you tired of being a puppet on a string yes or no?

Yes, I am tired of being the puppet of that bastard King but there is nothing I can do about it.

Hmm, what if I told you there is something you can do? What if I told you that you and your people can be free? Haa seems I have your interest now. So, I will get straight to my point you have the job of escorting nobles to the palace right??

Yes, we do so what about it.

You see I have a plan in mind a plan to kill Lionel and take his throne away from him, and I need you to get me into the palace and near him without him suspecting a thing. Once you get me into the throne room your job is done I… will kill Lionel and then you can be free of his shackles. So, what do you say?

(This moment this opportunity it all feels so weird it feels so natural when it should not be us Minotaur’s have been enslaved by King Lionel for so long now, and now all of a sudden, a guy just shows up at my door and tells me that let’s kill the King. Is it a real offer or a fake offer I cannot tell any longer?)

I won’t accept your offer that plan has way too many holes in it. I will not risk the life of my kind if that is your plan to kill the King.

Think… of your family your little brother don’t you want his soul to rest in peace.

HOW… HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY LITTLE BROTHER.

Listen here carefully I am giving you the opportunity of a lifetime. You can get freedom and you don’t have to dirty your hands. I will personally ensure the safety of your people so what do you think.

……How do I know you will keep your word after all you too are just a human.

You see that’s where you are wrong my friend I am not human I am just like you… *snaps* (Storm deactivated the spell MIMIC) I too you see am a monster…
