Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A damsel in distress
After flying around all the neighboring villages, Princess Aleena was finally satisfied and decided to call it a night. But instead of returning to the palace, she asked Ezra and Tanya to let her explore the city streets.It was a dangerous idea to wander the streets of Magaravia at this late hour, especially since Aleena was next in line to the throne and Tanya had a bounty on her head. However, Ezra agreed to the proposition and promised to give her a tour of the city since it would allow them to win her trust.Setting the Wind Rider down on the roof of the mansion in Verdant Gardens, Ezra and Tanya escorted Aleena through the estate and hailed a carriage to take them across the city.Since it was past midnight, most of the people were fast asleep in their beds, but Aleena’s escape had put the guards on high alert. The Longmans were prowling the streets at every turn, and the riflemen from the city guards were scouring the alleys and knocking on every tavern door to find the culprit
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The wrong kind of prey
It was just as Tanya had feared. Aleena being a naïve young princess had fallen for a simple damsel trap and walked right into an ambush. And the worst part was Ashton Alley was the most avoided part of the city and the guards would not even think to look for her over here.Ezra knew the assailants would not harm Aleena if they discovered she was the princess of Magaravia. Her royal blood would help her squirm out of trouble since they could leverage her and gain something far more valuable from the king in return.However, Ezra still had no clue whether these six women were working alone or if they were part of a larger criminal organization.“Who are you?” Ezra asked. “Are you not afraid Madam Moonfrey might string you up if she found out you were robbing nobles right under her nose?”The oldest in the group chuckled at his words. “Do you think our dear madam would punish us for helping her? If you know Madam Moonfrey then you must also know how she restocks her supplies.”Ezra grinn
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The forbidden nectar
Ezra kept watch as Tanya opened a teleportation portal and escorted the princess back to the safety of her royal chamber. Once the portal closed, Ezra quickly barred the front door with a wooden table and set to work, searching the hideout.The shabby walls of the dilapidated building seemed to reflect the dire poverty of those unfortunate few who had been destined to live inconsequential lives amidst the squalor of the largest slum in Valaria.Judging by the creaking floorboards and the cracked ceiling, Ezra could tell that this place was used as a temporary hideout since it looked completely inconspicuous and barely attracted any attention. However, since this place was frequented by so many members of the Bleeding Roses, he was confident of finding clues if he looked around.“You can try interrogating these women when they return to their senses,” Marlin advised while Ezra gathered the unconscious assailants and tied their hands and feet together, securing them to a wooden table in
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Pleasures of the night
When Ezra had set out with Tanya, he had plenty of things on his mind, but running into the Bleeding Roses was something completely unexpected. It was as if fate had guided him to this hideout and pointed him in the right direction.The letter Ezra had retrieved from Madam Moonfrey hinted at a strong connection between the Bleeding Roses and the loyalists. However, the elusive noble at the helm of affairs still remained a mystery along with his secret plans.But now that Ezra had found out about the prostitution racket, he could feel he was close to unraveling their secrets.The token Ezra had just pocketed was marked with the initials L.H. and had the numbers 0230 hyphenated with it. Together, they identified the name of the customer as well as the appointed time.Ezra pulled out his silver pocket watch and glanced at the time. It was still a quarter past one and the minutes were crawling by a lot more sluggishly than he would have liked. He still had plenty of time to prepare for his
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Sold to the highest bidder
Once the sounds in the hallway had ceased and the place had slumbered back into silence, Ezra quietly slid the door open and slipped outside. The cloaking spell kept him safe from watchful eyes as he walked down the narrow corridor flanked by rooms on each side.Ezra could hear muffled moans and peals of ecstatic laughter coming from the adjoining rooms. They were occasionally interspersed with heavy groans and excited shouts. He could tell the pleasure house had plenty of other customers tonight.As Ezra continued walking down the corridor, one thing puzzled him. He could not understand why Madam Moonfrey would allow a young vice lieutenant to have fun with her girls. His thoughts went back to that day when she had caught a guard collecting bribes from the poor folk of Ashton Alley and given him a sound thrashing.Ezra wondered if Holmes was the only city guard who had been invited to the pleasure house or if there were others like him. To confirm his doubts, he peeped through one of
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A noble conspiracy
The conversation between Eva and the captain of the City Guards made it perfectly clear that Duke Carrington was no longer loyal to King Reginald, and his show of allegiance to the throne was only an act to fool the other nobles.However, the evidence was still too inconclusive for Ezra to suspect the other loyalists. It remained uncertain whether Marquis Desmond and his men were being manipulated by the duke or if they too were involved in the whole conspiracy.Ezra knew he could not trust the loyalists, but the stakes just went up as he discovered Duke Carrington was using Madam Moonfrey’s connections to buy the City Guards. As Ezra continued eavesdropping, the conversation became more interesting. So far, he had only figured out a part of the duke’s plans, but Eva spilled the remaining details in no time.“Our most honored patron, Duke Carrington, has everything planned to the letter. You need not fret about anything at all, my captain,” she spoke coaxingly while running the back o
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The lesser evil
Duke Carrington was playing a dangerous game, but he knew the king was weak, leaving the throne vulnerable. Valaria lacked a strong leader, and the commoners knew this as well. This created the perfect chance for the duke to dethrone the weak king and wear the royal crown.The only thing the duke wasn’t expecting was outside interference, and Ezra wanted to strike from the shadows and foil his plans before he could vie for the throne.As the discussion drew to a close, Ezra excused himself and ventured into the gloomy night, his destination known only to Marlin.“Care to explain what’s going on in your head?” the old Gunsmith asked, his voice rife with concern.“I need allies. This isn’t a fight I can win alone. Politics is beyond me,” Ezra replied as he flew across the city and landed right in front of the Tower of Justice. “Duke Carrington has the Bleeding Roses in his pockets, and the only ones who can foil their plans are the Black Nightshades.”“You do realize they have no allegi
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A royal affair
Trusting the leader of the assassins was never an easy task, especially after the attempt on the king’s life. But despite all his flaws, Angelo was known to be a man of his word. And his promise was all Ezra had to go by in these desperate times.With Duke Carrington and his accomplices conspiring against the crown, only the Black Nightshades could tip the scales and keep the conspirators in check. However, Ezra knew Angelo would not let this favor slide cheaply. But for now, Ezra felt relieved knowing he had bought some time for the king and his allies. “Five days is not enough time to win Princess Aleena’s trust and convince the king to step down. Are you sure this was a good idea?” Marlin asked.Ezra took a deep breath, stepping perilously close to the ledge, and replied, “It was the best idea I could come up with. Besides, at least we will have one less enemy to worry about.”When Ezra returned to their mansion in Verdant Gardens, Tanya and Count Gressil beamed in with their ques
