Chapter 22 - Chapter 21: Realtor

"What do you mean when you say you're probably the cause?" Rhaelis asked the question in confusion and curiosity.

"I mean like what I just said. I arrived here on that day. It's either a coincidence or I'm the cause." Zain said without a ounce of care.

"Lucas, you registered your adventurer card on the 16th. So what do you mean?" Zack finally joined and asked the question.

"I arrived on this kingdom on the 15th. This was my first kingdom I've visited." Zain said as he put his hand on his chin.

"I know you're strong but you don't need to lie to make yourself appear strong." Rhaelis said with irritation on her tone.

Zain became furious when she said that.

"LOOK BITCH! I DON'T LIE! KEEP YOUR PROMISE AND NEVER TELL YOU! IF ONE OF YOU TELL ANYONE, YOU WON'T DIE BUT YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE!" Zain said in anger, his eye colour changed and Mana was slipping from his body. He stood up and walked towards the door. He looked back at them and said.

"THAT'S NOT A THREAT, THAT'S A FACT."

Zain walked out of that room. He went downstairs and said goodbye to Sarah. Sarah was surprised by the reaction of Zain and wondered what happened in the office. She shivered slightly when she made eye contact with Zain.

Zain walked towards the door and bumped into someone.

When Zain left the room, the room became silent after he left. Rhaelis and Zack probably thought what happened.

"You felt that, right?" Rhaelis said as she looked at Zack in seriousness. Zack nodded when he looked at her.

"It's good that we're probably the only ones who felt that." Lucas said to Rhaelis. She wondered what she meant by that.

Lucas saw her confused face and pointed towards every corner of the room.

"This room is filled with Runes. No sounds and energy can escape this room unless the energy is too much or the room is destroyed."

Rhaelis nodded when Zack explained that. Zack finally realised something.

"Miss Rhaelis, did you notice?" Zack asked Rhaelis a question.

"Notice what?" She said in confusion and suddenly realised. "Didn't you tell him about this room?"

Zack shook his head and said, "No, I didn't tell him."

"So you're saying he knew about the room?"

"Probably."

"ARE YOU JUST PLAYING WITH ME!" Rhaelis said in anger. Zack shook his head.

"If I was playing with then I would have to have known of your visit beforehand and plan ahead. Lucas, appeared in guild and he was not here yesterday. So miss Rhaelis, I'm not playing with you." Zack said in serious tone and Rhaelis agreed with his statement but suddenly realised.

"Lucian can't be sense, how do you know he was not here yesterday?" Rhaelis ask a question in suspicion.

"Because I stayed at the inn, where Lucas stay, to have a talk with him and he never showed." Zack said.

"What were you gonna talk about with him?" said in suspicion.

[A/N: I'm starting to hate her.]

"Nothing. Let's forget about that and focus." Zack said to Rhaelis and she nodded.

"Do you get it? Lucas made us promise him knowing it'll only be the two of us who knows." Zack said in serious tone.

"We know nothing. He didn't tell us anything." Rhaelis said in annoyance about what Zack said.

"He did. We just didn't believe him." Zack said in a serious tone and Rhaelis tried to shove the thought away.

Zain looked at who he bump into and realise it's Iso.

"Ohh, it's you. How you doing?" Zain said to Iso. She didn't fall to the ground when she bumped into him but lost momentum for a little bit. Iso looked at him and realised it's Zain.

"Finally it's you. I've been looking for you since yesterday." Iso said to Zain after she caught her breath.

"Why were you looking for me...." Zain said to Iso before he realised something, "Oh, you found the house I want?" he said.

Iso looked at him and nodded.

"Yes but there's a slight problem." She said with the gesture of her hand doing a tiny gesture.

"What's the problem?"

"The problem is that the house is under royalty's name. So, we need to go and have a talk with the king." She said in a playful manner.

Zain was surprised by what she said but didn't question it. He thought,'The king? Since when do kings sell houses besides that.'

"So Lucas, are you still willing to buy?" Iso said in a worry on her tone and Zain just nodded. Iso instructed Zain to follow her to the castle.

Iso kept explaining how big the house is and the location. She talked about how she had to have a meeting with the king to discuss about the house.

Zain asked her why she took too long to find the house and Iso doesn't specify why it took too long but she said she had to ask around which didn't feel like a lie. Zain noticed that she doesn't want to talk about, so he dropped that topic.

Iso talked about a bunch of things that are random. She didn't talk about her family and Zain just thought her family is dead or she doesn't have any which is not unusual. Since Zain came to this world, she's the first person, not women, who talks a lot.

Zain thought to himself, 'When is she going to be quite?'

Iso looked at him and said, "You think I talk too much, yes I do. Did you know that a sleep and never wake up?"

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, it's death. No person wake up from that unless they're undead which technically is still dead because there's dead in un-dead. It's a person who refuse to die but they still die."

Zain just looked at her and thought to himself,'How long is this going to take?'

Iso kept talking about random stuff until the arrived at the castle. The guards stopped them at the gate and asked if they have any invitation yet.

Iso pulled something from her pouch and Zain guessed that it's spatial magic pouch. Zain didn't rely on Appraisal Sight for everyday use. In fact he doesn't use it every time. The guards saw the lbadge that Iso pulled from the pouch and let them in.

One of the guards instructed them to head strain and they'll arrive at the door. They'll receive assistance from the maid or butler upon arriving at the door and they'll be directed to the king or queen.

Zain and Iso followed the path and arrived at the door. Upon arriving, they saw a maid waiting at the door. The maid greeted them and directed them towards the king.

The followed the maid and arrived at the audience hall.
