Plan (3)

Ahh, I still have a magic letter from Olivia.

With that strange letter, I can request help from Olivia, isn't it?

But I need to think of a decent plan before using it. That letter only can be used once, so I can't waste it. I think this sacrifice is worth it if I can enroll in Elementary School.

Olivia probably on Capital right now, so if I use this letter now maybe she can't do it immediately. The distance from Capital to Andalas is very far. Andalas located near the borderline of the Evandel Kingdom and the Listel Kingdom. This will make the aid from her will be delayed and can't arrive in a short time.

"Sam, how long we will arrive in the city?"

"Maybe we will arrive tomorrow morning if nothing happens."

Hoo, I still have time to contact Olivia.

"Are you will meet David directly after you arrived?"

"I think, we will take a break for one day and meet him the next day."

So roughly I have 2 days left huh.

"I have a plan."

"Huh?! Really?! Can you please tell us?"

"I have a noble friend in Capital, and I can request her to send her aids to help us."

"So how will you use it?"

"We go to David's mansion as we planned. When he uses sleeping-drug to us, let him take us as hostages. My friend's aid will come to save us and we reveal David dirty scheme at once."

My plan is simple.

First I will contact Olivia via magic letter and tell our situation with some fabrication. After that, we let ourselves become his hostages and Olivia's aids will help us and make David Wardenia be accused for confining us. If that happens,David won't be an obstacle for Sophia anymore.

But there's a flaw in my plan. The flaws is I can't reveal Olivia's identity to Sam and Sophia. I don't want to invite more trouble because someone knows I have a relation with royalty. If I can't reveal Olivia's identity, Sam and Sophia won't believe me and suspect my plan's credibility.

"So who are your noble friend Vin?"

As I thought, Lady Sophia asks me.

"I can't tell you, Lady Sophia, because of some reason, but I can ensure my plan will help you."

Yeah, If she is Oliva, I think she can do it. She is royalty, and she can handle this scum David if she has evidence. This will raise her reputation and fame because David is well-known as a smuggler from the underworld and Royalty can't arrest him because of a lack of evidence. But If he takes us as hostages, she can arrest him and searching the evidence in his mansion under the pretext investigation.

"Okay Vin, I will follow your plan."

"But, Lady Sophia why are you following his plan? We don't even know he lying or not!!"

Sam now completely against my plan.

"I trust him, Sam."

What a strange girl. Why she and Olivia easily trust me?

"But Lady Sophia..."

"Enough Sam, you always with me for a long time and you must know myself very well."

"Alright Lady Sophia, I will follow your order. Vin, I hope your plan will work or I won't let you escape."

My relations with him is collapsed in a mere second. We're ready to backstabbing each other.

Damn.

They don't know the credibility of my plan and I don't know their real identity because we haven't reach the town. Our agreement is very fragile and can break anytime. We only can trust and don't deceive each other.

I think I'm have advantage than Sam and Sophia.

First they won't go to Darwin Mansion without a capable guard and they still need me.I don't know if they have another trump card or not in the city (in case they were lying to me)

My other advantage is "special aids from noble who stays on Capital". I use this as a bait and make a negotiation with Sam and Sophia. They probably think the noble whom I contact have a higher rank than David Wardenia and can deal with him.

"Okay, but first I need to write something so may I borrow something to write?"

"Here the Quill pen."

Sam give me a feather and a bottle of Ink to write.

I take the magic letter from my storage Pouch. I begin to pour my mana and the paper glowing faintly and I write the message.

'I need your help, I will be taken as a hostage along with a daughter from the founder of Avalon Merchant Union by David Wardenia. He plans to use her as a negotiation material and extort her parents. We are on Andalas now. Please help me as you returning the favor to me."

I write those with some consideration.

First I don't mention Olivia's name because Sam and Sophia can see me when I write it.

I don't mention the time too, to make sure Olivia makes the preparation immediately.

And the last sentence I mentioning about returning her favor to me, but that was a lie.

I and Olivia don't have any relations after the day we separated and we will become a stranger when we meet again. But in reality, I still owe her because she gives me a good weapon and storage pouch to help me. So I just write a satire and I hope she knows what I mean.

After I finish to write the letter, I think Olivia as the receiver and the paper burned and don't leave any ashes. I guess I sent the letter successfully but will I get a reply from Olivia?
