After finally getting the poison tooth of the old man and giving it to Leo, Angel quickly began her interrogation. However, a sudden straight line made out of fire shoot the head of the old man, which killed him immediately. The straight-line came out from the top of a mountain.
Fortunately, Angel was quickly pulled away by Clydesdale the moment the straight line made out of fire penetrated the head of the old man. If not, then she would have surely been hit by that attack, too.
"Go and quickly bring me that person!" Angel quickly ordered Clydesdale, but the latter only shook his head in response.
"Doing so would be useless, the enemy would be long gone the moment Clydesdale arrived at that mountain!" Leo suddenly explained. He had seen everything since he was also at the side of Angel and Clydesdale. After looking at where the fire line had come from, he quickly made a fast assumption that the enemy would be able to escape easily.
Such a distance was far enough for the enemy to escape farther from its former location. So, even if Clydesdale was a Three Star Mage, it would still be useless to chase after that person.
Moreover, no one really knows just how powerful that unknown enemy was. To actually be able to use a Magic spell to attack someone as far as that distance, specifically around 10 kilometers or so, that person is definitely a powerful Mage. Clydesdale might not even be able to fight that unknown enemy, even if he could indeed catch up.
"Tch!" Angel could only let out such a sound. After hearing Leo's words, she quickly understood that he was indeed right. But such an important old man that could have possibly given them important information had just died like that. It made her feel really disappointed and angry. An opportunity to know more about the Black organization was lost, just like that.
"There would still be more opportunities in the future, as long as you're alive!" Leo said before turning around and walking back to the guard's wagon.
.....
Finally, after 5 hours of continuous traveling, Leo and the others finally arrived at Silver City North Gate.
Arriving inside Silver city, everyone within the merchant caravan can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were finally safe, for the time being... But still, they could finally take a rest, and forget about what had just happened awhile ago.
Arriving inside Silver city doesn't yet mean that Leo and the other's mission was now completed. The mission clearly stated that after taking Veronica to Silver city, she would spend her week with Princess Tiana before finally returning back to Honoris city. So, he could only wait for a week before he could finally complete the mission.
After bidding farewell to the merchant caravan group and to Clydesdale, Leo and the others quickly took Veronica to princess Tiana's royal palace in the northwest area of Silver City.
.....
Arriving at the royal place, they were immediately granted entry after seeing Veronica within Leo's group.
Moving inside the royal palace, Leo was marveling at its enormous size and the beautiful things around the palace.
The royal palace was called, Silver Bee royal palace, a name to honor the friendship between the Sixth Princess of Silver royal family and Veronica of the Honoris Noble Household.
Inside the royal palace was a lot of paintings of flowers with bees on the top of its petals, and a beautiful girl with silver hair and Veronica on both sides of the flower. Obviously, this Princess Tiana was really treating Veronica genuinely and as her best friend, too.
Looking up in front, a beautiful girl in silver-colored hair hurriedly runs downstairs. This girl was as beautiful as Veronica, she had long silver hair, a silver-colored pupil, a big breast, and she was currently wearing a pink-colored dress, obviously her indoor dress.
"96/100!" Leo can't help rate in his mind. He doesn't dare to really voice out his remarks, though. After all, this girl was the Sixth Princess of Silver royal family. Fate knows just what kind of temperament and character she has, especially towards someone unknown who just rated her out of nowhere. He might just get himself into trouble by doing such a disrespectful thing.
"Veronica~ you're finally here!" Princess Tiana quickly hugged Veronica the moment she arrived in front of the latter.
With the hug, especially from a big breast girl such as Princess Tiana, Veronica was soon having a hard time trying to breathe in the middle of her cleavage.
"Ha! Tiana, don't just shove my face into your enormous breast, I can't breathe inside of it!" Veronica immediately exclaimed as soon as she successfully pulled herself away from the hug.
"I would be willing to die in such a way!" Leo thought in his mind, which he quickly shook his head to forget. Seeing such a scene, his mind would obviously wonder about it, even though he wasn't as perverted as Alfred or Clydesdale.
"Next time, next time~," Princess Tiana said in a sweet voice before turning her attention towards Leo's group, "You must be sir Leo Heart?"
"It's an honor to be recognized by the Sixth princess!" Leo replied as he bowed his head a little to show his courtesy to Princess Tiana.
"The honor is all mine, hahahah! Courtesy aside, how about you and your group come with us and join our teacup party! The more the merrier, right?" Princess Tiana said before turning her head towards Veronica.
"Stop calling our tea ceremony a teacup party! We are no longer kids Tiana, it's embarrassing..." Veronica paused, showing her blushing face due to her embarrassment, "But yeah, the more the merrier! So, Leo, Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Angel, would you mind coming with us and join!" she quickly added while motioning for Leo and his group to come with them.
Despite not really interested in such a thing, Leo could only helplessly follow them along. He had also realized that drinking tea at this moment would be able to calm and relax his mind from the stress that he had accumulated within due to the past days of running from one place to another.
Soon, Leo and the group finally arrived in a small man-made garden. In the middle of the garden was a small place with four pillars supporting its roof on the 4 sides and a circular table with tea and snacks prepared in the middle.
Arriving at the table, Leo and the other sat in their respective places and began talking about their adventure from Honoris city, Yellow Forest, and finally the thing that had just happened in the road between the White River city and Silver city.
Just like what should be expected from a conversation with the majority of the participants being girls, the topic suddenly changed to feminine-related stuff.
Obviously, Leo wasn't interested in such a thing, hence he could only excuse himself for a moment as he decided to take a rest at a tree shade nearby.
Arriving under the tree shade, Leo quickly found out that the man-made garden was actually just nearby a small ground with dozens of soldiers training themselves in all sorts of ways. These soldiers were obviously Princess Tiana's personal guard.
Leo quietly crossed his leg on the ground and just began nonchalantly watching the training soldiers, obviously trying to kill time.
Suddenly, one soldier stopped his training as he spotted Leo watching them from the side. An unknown guy was actually in Princess Tiana's personal garden!
The soldier that had noticed Leo quickly told his fellow soldiers about Leo's existence, which then sparks something within the group of soldiers.
Leo watching them under the tree shade could only shake his head helplessly. He already knew that something troublesome was going to happen to him now.
"Dammit, I should have just stayed with the girls!" Leo swore inwardly before quickly closing his eyes.. He was hoping that by closing his eyes the soldiers would no longer think of disturbing him, because of the thought that he is cultivating.
