Asking Help
We get back in the inn but she isn't there... She should arrive first before we do, we enter in our room, maria is not here in the room either, What? What caught my attention was a knife stab with paper on it in the wall
-Surrender in the competition if you want to get her back-
The most i hated template, my rage of anger rose up, what a dirty way... To use people like this did they really think straight?! Leo look at me in the worried and serious way
"Master..."
Is there any way other than surrendering? A magic is all i have,
do i have a chance to save her without surrendering but how?
I think carefully, and use my knowledge i know.. Anything is possible in magic, how to i find a missing person? Investigating is also a way but, investigating will took long.
Berserking? I wasn't gonna do it, my armor appearance was wanted, if my identity ended up reveal while i was doing something that make other people misunderstood i will surely became criminal.
All i can think is sensory magic to be able to find her but i wasn't capable of doing it, i haven't even try in once, there might be people who able to detect my massive magic so it will end it up troublesome moreover if i was be able to find her with sensory magic i don't havs any methods on how to move, i might end up berserking. If someone is capable to find her without magic, but who? Who could be? A person with great intel network in the kingd---
Ahh!! ANGE!!
"We are going to castle, Leo!!"
I wear my robe and put up the hood and I hurried just by running, if i use leo's beast mode we can get there immediately but the people around us might panic so it might be not a good idea, the capital in night was still crowded so i jump in houses roofs and just jump to make my way to castle and leo did the same, after a while of running i reach the castle gate but there are guards
If i stealthy seek in the castle, people might see us or notice us and called us for trespassing in the castle, so the only way is to deal with guards by speaking up with them, this might took long but this is the only proper way
I arrive in the gate and the guards saw us
"Speak your business"
"I would like to talk to princess ange"
"Princess Ange? Do you have any prior appointment set"
"N-No i don't have, but i would like to - -"
"My apologies but you must have a prior arrange appointment first before you--"
I have no time for this!!
"I Beg you!! It's emergency" I Bow
"Even if you do that... It's still our job.. To---"
" Please! Just speak the name gabriel in the princess, i'll take responsibility"
The guards make a conflicted expression and the other guard just sigh
" All right, we just have tell it right? Please make sure to take all the responsibilities unless the happenings isn't turn out good"
"Yes! Thank you very much!!"
The other guard run inside a castle, about a minutes ago, we are permitted to enter, we meet a maid in the way to castle that lead us to a room where ange is, the cherry blossom observer was also with her and some other people that might be nobles that has position in the castle, as i enter ange saw me and suddenly dash to embrace me the other people look at us dumbfounded but the cherry blossom haired observer girl look us calmly like she is use in this sight, then ange let go but hold my hand instead
"Gabriel! You came, i thought that it would take too long for you to meet me.. This is somewhat unexpected, so what brings you here?"
"Can i take your time? To listen to my business?" i look at her
"Okay!" That was unexpected answer, if she doesn't approve on listening to me i was thinking of bowing in front of her to just listen
"We'll continue this later, can you please lead everyone to leave for a while." the other looking nobles leave the room but still the observer girl is sitting in her chair drinking tea leisurely while i was looking at her our eyes meet
"You don't need to worry, what you speak in this room stay only in this room"
Ange and I along with leo take a sit
"So then.."
"I need your help"
"help?"
I explain everything in her
"Oh my, that is really a emergency, well my friend here sophie is capable of finding your friend.."
"Hey!"
The obeserver of just taking a sip of her tea complain and it seems her name is sophie
"What gives!!"
"Sophie is capable of using sensory magic, so finding her will be a piece of cake"
The girl named sophie look at ange, yeah they had a battling eye contact
"Okay! I can find her for you!"
"Really!"
"But, only if i sense her mana before,So i have to sense it before using magic, to locate her, it will impossible to find her without doing it."
"What.."
What should i do... If she didn't sense her mana before it will be totally impossible to find her this time, if only she sense it before. In this time connecting between two mana is - - - -
"Yeah, that's it!"
Sophie's Perspective
The Nobles of this country together with ange and i are having a dinner talking about political stuff, and since the queen which is ange has no fiancee nor a noble they push her to take a peek or have an open mind in engagement and political relationships, they target ange to push they're sons to become her future husband which is the title of the king, but i know ange was not interested on it, she has the strong sense of justice that no one has,
so having a partner that she doesn't really know the nature of it, will affect the kingdom in the near future thus she shoulder all the responsibility for the sake of the others and for the sake of people the kingdom,
The greetings on her keep going on
while me was just sitting in the table taking a sip of my delicious tea, well there's no way anyone would talk to me after all i'm a demon, even though i have the appearance of humans.
Nobles are the type of people who don't trust each other but on the contrary they just hid they're true nature for themselves alone, i look at ange she was keep smilling while talking to the nobles, but as far as i can see, it seems that she was tired.
Her tired smile broke when a guard suddenly enter the room and talk to her, she make a really beautiful smile, what was that?
Then the guard leave the room and again after a minutes of wait the guard enter the room again with two people, a person wearing a long black robe and a child in the age of 10, but that child was different she was no ordinary child, i know that she carefully keep her massive mana but i can still feel it, but the feeling of it wasn't danger at all after all as i can estimate her mana power was not even close to my 20% of power, i just find it abnormal for a kid like her, and the robe guy was... has a little mana just like ordinary adventurers if i can remember he's a competitor in the tournament but having a methods of using her little mana was impressive how he use magic was a little unique kind of reminds me of Misaki
Ange suddenly rushes over to meet them, specially the robe guy
"Gabriel! You came, i thought that it would take too long for you to meet me.. This is somewhat unexpected, so what brings you here?"
They know it each other? They seems very close
"Can i take your time? To listen my business?" i look at her
"Okay"
What a rush decision, well that was ange for you
"We'll continue this later, can you please lead everyone to leave for a while."
I feel like i saw the queen mistreat a nobles over some robe guy, when i was looking at her, our eyes meet
What? Is she perhaps wondering why i'm still here? It does seems like it
"You don't need to worry, what you speak in this room stay only in this room"
Then the two of them sat
"So then.."
"I need your help"
She explain the situation, over someone kidnapping her friend just to make him surrender in the competition, that was some dirty work
"Oh my, that is really a emergency, well my friend here sophie is capable of finding your friend.."
"Hey!"
What?! This girl! She's really thoughtless in decision making, i don't know if she really think all of this through, calm down... I took a sip of my tea, NO! Ange really isn't thinking!
"What gives!!"
"Sophie is capable of using sensory magic, so finding her will be a piece of cake"
Piece of cake... You say?! I look at ange's eyes thinking 'Hell what' s up with ya!'
"Okay! I can find her for you!"
"Really!"
"But, only if i sense her mana before,So i have to sense it before using magic, to locate her, it will impossible to find her without doing it."
Of course it will be impossible, besides there' s so many people here in capital
"What.."
She suddenly stop talking and keep herself quiet for a while then...
"Yeah, that's it.."
He seems found a way to find her friend without my help... And that was i thought so
