CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER 9

"What favor can a meager person like me ever do for you, Lady Hareth. Please request so, but forgive me if I ever give a lacking results, I shall do my best to fulfill it."

Squeezing a smile, the dear princess could only say so. They seem quite close, she might already have a hunch when I gave a hint.

It's quite amusing to see these high people of society cater to my wishes even though they're way too reluctant. So helpless and can only move as she wishes, they cannot easily decline.

'Hehe. I don't know how I come to be like this, but sometimes, it's a great pleasure looking at them feeling like this.'

I stretched my lips to a honored smile while smiling inside. Hays, who made me such a sadistic woman, it's all because of the brainwashing.

"Oh oh, you see cousin Renee, there are workers who are always designing and inventing new things back home to keep me entertained all this time."

Doing a cute hand triangle and stretching my lips in an exaggerated way, the cute actions can also annoy the titled calm princess of the empire. But in the eyes of the others, it's like she's using her a wicked charm to start a very evil deal.

"But nowadays, the tribute that they sent are getting less interesting and are less in quantity. It worries me."

"But heavens give hope to all. Back when I was strolling with this palace maid named Monise- eh was that your name?"

".. It's Monsey, my lady."

Monsey, not Monise? Bah, who cares.

"So, dear Monise over here told me a story of a promising inventor who invented all those new interesting things in the palace."

'Oh no.'

This is the only thought that Renee, the pitiful princess can only think about, she already knows the 'favor' of Nympha, and panic can't help but come upon her always calm face.

To think, the Hareth descendant would request to take away her best friend, she just want to drag her away from here and hide from the coveting snake in front of her.

But she can't, she have to comply to whatever requirements the woman wanted. Or else...

The frightening trauma of the whip sounds once again flashed before her eyes, but she quickly shook her head to awaken again and gave a very serious look to the lady infront of her.

"This... this request, my lady. I don't know.. whether, you can reconsider?"

The smile quickly left the face of Nympha, and who knows when.. her eyes quickly formed slits akin to the eyes of snake and it let out a dangerous glow.

"Princess Renee. Princess Renee."

"Y.. yes."

This time, she stammered as the images she tried to shake off keep appearing just a glance from those purple eyes.

"Which request exactly?"

"W.. what? I was-"

"I never finished what I was about to say, princess."

*Gulp*

A lot of gulping sounds were a bother to the conversation but anybody did not dare to pinpoint each other as they all did it, the servants, even the princess dared to bow her head in fright.

Of course not for MingXi, after another observation, the assessment of her future enemy's strength made her a bit frightened.

'A glance from the eyes can entrance a person to stand still or stone a person from shock and fright. Just a single member can do that from that accursed family, and even the said most fragile of them.'

"How rude."

"It truly makes a person feel offended and doubt your mastery of etiquette lesson, dearest. Who the hell taught you?"

"A well-known master and respected teacher or a scam from an unknown slum which is full of vulgarity."

"Goodness. It truly is saddening for me who always worry for each family member to get the best, be it a man or education."

Sighing and acting as if exaggeratedly worried , she waved her hand lazily and gave a final warning. Just fold her hands and put her head on it to give a joyful smile.

"Cousin, go on to speak, as I have nothing left to say. But a member of the family should be all elegant and polite alright? Especially a princess, don't be like a certain someone who howls for a whipped's cry."

Those words truly made them remember the victims of her whipping according to the rumors.

'That second young lady of the Hareth family has the most beautiful appearance but is bestowed with a truly vicious heart from her own bloodline. To think just at the age of three, she went around with her twin brother to whip people around with random accusations.'

'A pity, It is like that, truly the more beautiful the appearance, the more poisonous is the woman's heart. And I also heard, both are a descendant of the justice family, Adamante. Could it be that they both inherited the brutality of the Adamantes and the viscousness of the Hareth.'

'Nonsense. Don't stain the reputation of the justice family, because of a lost and dirty descendant. In fact, it's better to not acknowledge them and let them belong to their maternal family. They are different, as they are dirty and stained the bloodline of the Adamantes with the snake's bloodline.'

'Hey, hey. Keep silent or do you want us gone from the face of earth because of your mouth. I know, I know, it would be a disgrace to think that they even inherited something from the Adamantes. Even though the way they brought justice is brutal, it lessened criminals in every continents of this world. The crime rate reduced too much as the bastards don't dare to taste their ways of brutality and tortures.'

'Right, in comparison to the other family, it feels like they are the one who makes crime rate higher, like that, when you compare their 'contributions' to the world, they make the crime rate steady at 30%, those two opposites actually give birth to two descendants, won't the blood within their bodies do something akin to brawling everyday then, kekeke.'

'Enough enough, you know we may really disappear if we continue, you know it's taboo to continuously talk about them at the same ti-'

And just like a prophecy, the fearless drunkards suddenly disappeared without a trace in front of the many people in the tavern. Leaving behind an empty table and a floor rolling with wooden mugs of spilled liquor they weren't even able to finish.

The warmth left on the chairs they were seated before actually miraculously disappeared with them, like nobody ever seated there seconds ago, like it was long left by a customer who set eoff hours ago.

They may have left but many people already heard their loud conversations, which keeps challenging their ability to stay perfectly calm even after many people disappeared uncountable times because of the taboo.

'Never talk about snake and justice both at a time if one is told as good while the other is told as bad. When we do, we challenge the void to take you.'

It was a standing taboo that was strictly kept to be learned by the people since three hundred thousand years ago, the believed age of the void when the god of darkness fell.

Because it was believed to be a great curse placed on the two families by the creation goddess before she was taken back by the father.

They don't know the reason, but they must follow this unknown taboo that is an existing axe behind their fragile necks, a lingering powerful sword above the heads of everybody to take them to the realm of death.

'Tsk. This two family is way too mysterious, and the main enemy for this time is the eldest young master, this pretentious b*tch is his hated twin sister, I may be able to use that too. It seems she wants to invite me as her entertainer. But, it's not yet time, I must be patient.'

Though she also want to lash out and pull out the b*tch' s hair for wanting to make her a person serving as an entertainer. She decided that as long as she settled the main mission and the seal is broken, she would beat her up with full strength, deserving her S-rank title and reputation.

She still remembers the loss she suffered after she first met with her, but she can payback in the future that's why when she drank the medicine to restore her face, she decided to not do anything about it, because the helper Npc that ordered to test her seems to have plans with the d*mn btch.

And looks like he has inkling for her, and her state does not allow her to offend him no matter if it feels disdainful as a high ranking agent to receive orders by Npc's. But, she can bear that, when he's good looking and seems very important win this world's plot.

But this time, she got the description that this person is already the least dangerous while her brother is the most dangerous in the Hareth family, the strength of her enemy keep rising in assessments, that she has vague understanding why the world mission is unrated for the longest time.

'But the more dangerous, the better the rewards, must take the risk.'

This was the time greed still overcome the fear she felt, but can she still feel that way in the future.
