'This bastard… just much did he think ahead?' I coolly look at Lazarus standing in front of with a livid face.
'Did he really ca up with the idea on a whim or did he research it as well?'
'Even if he ca up with the knowledge on a notion… calling Abigail's and my affair just like that, man you would need balls of steel or a psychopathic brain to co up with it.'
'…Which now that I think, he pretty much is a psycho.'
"Well… do you?" Lazarus continued, "If you didn't… then it's probably a dog trying to take a lick at the top bone, right? The only thing you can ever hope to get is a piece of her shoe."
"Mr. Blackshot"
"Hm?"
"It's good that there is no one else here at the academy, otherwise, they might think you're a bit jealous of ."
"Jealous? What can you possibly-"
"The person who had so doggedly searched for a way to bring down the queen before, is now so desperate, that he's coming up with random speculations."
"One might even assu; you're using such theory's to blackmail specific people and get a nice position that will butter up your coc-"
"Thinng!"
The wall beside us, chipped away as Lazarus's blade sliced through it and stopped right before my throat. Inches away as I stopped it.
"Think wisely before you spout non-"
"YOU should think wisely before opening your mouth." I close in and whisper, "If as you said, that I kicked you out?... then what's stopping from killing you here and making you disappear."
Lazarus didn't even flinch as he said, "Try your worst, I'll kill you."
"As much as I would like to see you fail at that," I lightly throwback Lazarus as he took the distance and got ready for a fight, "Class just ended for and I'm in mood for at."
"at?" Lazarus mumbled as I passed by him, "Fuck that! Tell why you fired !"
"I don't know anything about what you're saying." I walk away, answering with an aloof vision, "If you actually believe I did sothing, bring the proof… then perhaps, I'll tell you sothing interesting."
"Henry Van Tax! I swear on my honor that I'll-"
"Honor?" I stop for a second and say, "You still think you have any honor… you lousy grunt."
"Grrr!" Lazarus greeted his teeth and rubbed his cane hard on the ground, "I will find out why you accused and also what your real plan is… and once I do-"
"Once you do, call out for a drink… it'll be my treat." I have the last laugh as I turned the corner, disappearing.
While Lazarus could only spout insults at the empty space, a person behind a wall, listened to the conversation as he smoked.
'Hmm… who knew I would pick such a stimulating talk here.'
…
I walk out the academic building, thinking of the conversation with Lazarus.
'By the way Cripple spoke, it seems he only has assumptions… nothing concrete. Still… to co to the explanation about Abigail… really is that guy a hidden genius or just the plain ol psychopath with a limped leg?'
'If I knew that he was going to catch like that, I would have prepared sothing right then and killed the guy… problem would have been solved right there and then.'
'Unfortunately, the place and timing he picked would be crowded in the next few minutes with student arriving with the curfew ending… now did he also take in the factor of killing him?'
'No, I'm thinking of myself as a student. I'm 100% sure that he knows of my underground background, so he got ready to fight it out in a place where even if he was overwheld, he'd find a way out.'
'This morning's training was probably about finding out my real skills… I didn't put much effort in it, but he'll stay vigilant against .'
As I ca before the academy's gate, I stop.
'But what I really don't understand is, how the hell does Arthur and Lazarus know about each other and how far they told each other?'
Back in the novel, even as Arthur and Lazarus et each other as student and teacher, it took ti and trust before they told each other their true motives.
For Arthur, it was slaying Abigail and regaining back his kingdom, while for Lazarus, it was to put the king back in his place while also killing Abigail. And since both of them had one similar point (Killing Fang Bang), they agreed to work together and eventually Lazarus beca Arthur's support.
I sigh while rubbing my head, 'Man! it really is a tough ti to date a villain.'
While the students who were coming back because of the curfew, I got out because it was curfew.
I took a cab- Oops! I an a carriage and road around to knock off any spies before coming to my real destination.
It was a extravagant restaurant with 'FOOD!' as its na. Going inside, I was filled with a magnificent golden view and redwood floor, combined with two maids standing at the door, welcoming .
"We thank you for coming to our restaurant and will be grateful if you wait until our employee's find a place for you to seat." The maids had a great body, combined with flirty smiles.
The front place or the reception, was filled with people, trying to get a table. But in front of the surprised plus aggravated looks, the guards let in.
Inside, the place looked just like a Michelin restaurant would. Excellent service, great seating arrangent and food coming out before the custor would start missing the waiter.
"Welco, My Lord!" A beautiful woman with Sekai Kingdom's heritage stood in a maid's outfit with so slight variation. "We already have received the guest and he's waiting in the booth for you."
"Bring to him."
"As you wish, my lord." The maid took upstairs.
The upstairs was completely opposite to the ground floor as it was only a hallway with multiple doors, leading to private rooms. There was a lot of guard's stationed at each of the rooms, ready to step in if anything went wrong.
We stop before a rosy red door with a well-built guard standing there, "He is inside, m'lord."
The guard aromatically opened the door for . Inside was Ulvicor, who was happily eating a adult blue crab.
Seeing , he called, "Oh! Mr. Tax. You're here." Then he gave an awkward smile, "I'm sorry for ordering already, I just couldn't stop myself when I know the food here's the best! Forgive for this, would you?"
I only glance at him before turning to the woman, "Noku, give us so privacy."
The girl nad Noku, nodded, "Of course."
"Snat!"
Noku snapped her fingers as all the guards quickly went out.
"Please call if you need anything."
I sit down at the table as she closed the door.
"Smoch!"
"Gmogh!"
The guy ate the crab like it was tastiest thing he ever ate. You wouldn't think that this Ulvoric was the sa one that was in the student council.
It wasn't his fault. The food at this restaurant is just to die for.
