The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 43: Research
For the next few days, Isabella would go in and out of consciousness. She seemed to be a tad out of it, but still remembered everything. I made sure to keep a close watch on her.But sometimes, I would catch her doing strange things like playing the violin in the middle of the night or muttering to herself while I wasn't paying attention. Which usually was about numbers, negotiation tactics, or politics.Things far beyond my understanding, of course.Her condition was slowly improving and her ability to stay awake was getting better over time.I made sure she was well taken care of.In the meantime, I tried to keep myself busy by reading any news or materials I could find related to the Black Ooze.The King had granted me full unrestricted access to all of their information on it.This included a list of every known and documented location that it had appeared, its apparent behaviors, the monsters that sometimes spawned from it, its effects on people, animals, and the environment.My
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 44: Envoys Of The United Front
My dreams the next night were terrifying.I was so concerned with the Black Ooze, that I couldn't stop thinking about it. The result was a horrible nightmare. I saw everyone I love consumed by the darkness.Every time I would try to fight back, it wasn't enough. It was so horrifying that I woke up screaming... Luckily Isabella was there to calm me.She had mostly regained her senses and was very worried about me... Truly, I was lucky to have her. I managed to sleep again after she comforted me.When I awoke, there she was as usual. Holding onto me and shoring loudly.In the past, I might have found it hard to sleep with such noise, but knowing Isabella was close made me feel at ease.I moved to get up and her grip tightened on me."Please stay a little longer, Mizik... You need to relax..." She said as she slowly opened her eyes.I didn't want a repeat of yesterday, but I knew she was right... Especially since I had that nightmare..."Isabella...are you feeling well?" I asked her."
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 45: The Road To Noir
We awoke that morning feeling particularly refreshed. We got dressed and said our goodbyes to everyone at the diner, then we were on our way.After we had arrived at the castle, we found two large carriages surrounded by knights on horses. These men were to be our guards for the trip. I could see Sir Gordon at the front of the convoy. He was speaking with one of the knights and I chose not to bother him. We would have plenty of time to speak later, most likely.We decided to go into the castle and say our goodbyes to the King and Queen as well as Walter before leaving."I hope the two of you have a safe trip. Mizik, your documents are in order, I hope?" The King said."Yes. I have everything I need to prove my identity and ownership," I replied.Of course I did. The documents scarcely ever left my inventory because they were far too precious to just leave lying around..."Protect my daughter for me, Mizik. I'm counting on you. I don't expect Tyranus to just simply roll over, but if h
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 46: The Kalsan Border
Four days passed as Isabella and I continued on the road to Kalsa.Somehow, we kept ourselves entertained and managed to find things to talk about. Sometimes we would simply stare out of the carriage window at the scenery.The convoy would occasionally stop for breaks to allow the horses rest and for everyone to eat. For the most part, however, we were left alone. That is to say, aside from the occasional knight checking in on us as well as the Grandmaster.At one point, we invited him to sit with us but he declined. He wanted to stay at the front and keep watch.Sir Gordon was a great guy, but I always felt he was too serious about his job... Although I suppose one didn't become Grandmaster without that kind of determination.Eventually, we could see large stone walls in the distance.A short while later, we pulled up to the border gate and were stopped. "Looks like we're finally at the border," I said."Yes. I hope they let us through... We mean no harm," Isabella said."Would the
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 47: My Shield
"What the hell was that!?" Amelia shouted."NOOOOO PLEASE!!! STAY BACK! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-" a bloody scream was heard followed by a loud crunching sound."KILL IT! SHOOT IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!!! KEEP IT AWAY FROM THE WALL!!!" Another voice screamed from atop the rampart.Then I saw it.The Black Ooze spread over the top of the rampart as a massive creature that looked like a dark shifting blob covered in eyes, mouths and tentacles, climbed over the wall.It sat atop the wall and grabbed several soldiers. Throwing them all screaming into it's mouths and chewing them up.Several of the guards vomited at the sight and everyone backed away."WHAT IN THE DIVINE REALM IS THAT THING!?" Amelia shouted."THE REASON WE'RE HERE, DUMBASS!" I screamed at her."What'd you say!? Are you the cause of-" "SHUT UP! WE'RE HERE TO STOP IT!" I continued."..." Amelia was silent."Let's call a truce! If you still want us dead after we deal with this thing, we can pick up where we left off!" I said."
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 48: Truce
The barracks were open, but Amelia allowed the two of us to use her personal bathroom instead of the communal showers.While I showered, Isabella stood guard just on the other side of the curtain.A few minutes later, I heard he door open.Can we have some damn privacy? "Well, hello beautiful. I was hoping to catch you as you were washing up, but this is almost as nice," the imposing guard from before said."You are trespassing. Leave at once or I'll paint the walls red with your entrails!" Isabella hissed."She's married, buddy. And not interested in trash. Can you leave?" I said.I could see the silhouette of Isabella holding Bravery to his throat.At that moment I heard heavy footsteps."Lieutenant! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Amelia shouted."Eh...umm...I just wanted to ensure that the Princess was okay!" The Lieutenant said."This filth was trying to have his way with me. I demand that he leave at once before I cut him down!" Isabella said."The bathroom is in use!
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 49: Noir
Once we were up, we immediately set out for Noir. Amelia and Sir Gordon led the convoy to its destination.We moved as quickly as possible, but not too much that the horses and knights would be exhausted.About six days later, we reached the Kalsan City of Noir.We pulled up to the front gates and paused for a moment. The knights of Noir checked the carriages to be sure that we didn't have anything suspicious... As a result...We heard a knock on the carriage door.Isabella unlocked it and the guard opened the door."We're here to check for any...thing..." The guard stopped as he stared at Isabella."Is there a problem?" She asked him."N-n-no... Who are you?" He asked quickly."I am First Princess Isabella Victoria Albatross. I am here on important business with my husband," she said. He stared at her in response. Almost as if he were in a trance."Isabella, let me talk to him," I said.I was really tired of people undressing her with their eyes...Isabella leaned back and I waved
The Hero of Vengeance Chapter 50: Dinner Party
"Mizik...if possible, I think I'd prefer to leave this place very soon..." Isabella said.Several butlers were eying her as she gazed around the room.Even some of the Iratus men would occasionally glance at her with lust in their eyes."Yeah...I feel like a rabbit in a lions' den..." I said.A moment later, we heard the sound of clinking glass.We looked in the direction of the noise and saw the man himself.Archduke Tyranus Iratus."May I have everyone's attention, please? Thank you. I am delighted to announce the return of one of our wayward brothers on this momentous occasion! Many of you are quite familiar with the new face already, but allow me to introduce him. Everyone, please welcome my cousin, the only living descendant of my dear uncle Ulysses: Mizik Iratus!" Tyranus said with a devious smile as he pointed to me.If I wasn't already being eyed enough by the maids and other women here, now I definitely was.Was it really that important that I was the son of Ulysses!?"Yes, m
