Chapter 314: Chapter 314 – A Letter From Sakurai
I was inside a building with a small bedroom and was lying flat on the bed. This was a small spare building that I had created so ti ago… the reason… I simply don’t rember.
But hey, maybe I had known that karma would co to bite as a dynamite called Katherna. All in all, a lot of these spare buildings were being used for housing and work reasons.
I had already told Raven and the others to start working on the buildings as soon as possible. All that remained now was to clear the bodies of those that had refused to listen to my warnings and died under rubble.
After that, the project would start again and it would take… another three months or so and one less fortune for this place to get back to its forr glory.
Reminded that Karma doesn’t co to bite my ass again in womanly or so other form.
“Knock” “Knock”
The door knocked twice.
“Master” It was Alice, “A letter ca for you.”
Maybe Karma’s working double shifts to get .
“Yeah, co in.”
Alice ca in and seeing my dejected state, she pouted, “What is it, master? Is sothing troubling you?”
“Yeah…” I say with an outward sigh, “You know how you feel when you get an exciting new toy but then you learn that its labeled 18 and your only 9… that’s how I feel right now.”
Alice nods, “Is this about the new ring.”
I sigh as an answer.
Alice ca close to and consoled, “It’s like this master, do you know the spell I learn that day… about the shredder one.”
“You an the dark claw shredder.” I say thinking about a shredder machine that was dark and powerful in nature, “Yes, you were quite excited about trying that on your enemies.”
“Yes, just like that. Think of the ring as sothing very powerful and fun like the shredder… but are you ready to wear it?”
My face becos heavy as I found the strange analogy sowhat understandable.
“Keep taking that analogy in mind until you’re sure that you’re ready to use the ring and then… you can go shred everyone.” She smiled at the end.
“…alright… why don’t you give the letter first. You have maid duties; you should go attend them.”
“I have none, you fired rember.”
“…Oh… so what do you do in your spare ti?”
“Well other than stalking you from ti to ti, I practice spells and cause slight mischief on others.”
“Alright then do that.” I tell her.
“Which one? Stalk you or cause mischief.”
“Learn spells.”
“But I’m bored master.” Alice said, “I just ca from practicing magic.”
I sigh, “Alright then go and cause mischief.”
“Really?” She smiled, “So you’re giving permissions then?”
“I’ll tell that if anyone tries to stop .”
Before I could change my words, a gust of dark wind appeared and flew Alice away. She laughed with a dark witch like tone as I could already feel the mischief she was about to cause.
“I’m gonna ignore that,” I take a look at the envelop, “Let’s see what’s your about.”
Most probably the Royal family from the Sekai Kingdom.
I take it and as I thought, I see the Sakurai family emblem was drawn on the envelop.
“It’s from Hanako… or soone from the family.”
I carefully open the letter and start reading it.
Mr. Tax,
It is I, the Youngest Daughter of his Great Majesty, Hanako Sakurai.
‘Good, there’s no dear or a new tone that would suggest our connection to anyone. She’s cautious of soone reading the letter.’ I continue reading the letter further.
I have pleaded your case to the Great Emperor and after much consideration from his greatness, he has decided to forgive you of all your accords.
“Did not think this would feel as cringe at this.” I laughingly shake my head, “The guy should be worried about not cutting of his head for his extended cris.”
His Majesty has also heard about the business deal that you have spoken about and has decided upon accepting it, considering it as a start of a remarkable journey between his highness and your noble stature.
‘Alright, so much honorable words are getting to my head now.’ I feel a buzz going through my head but still continue reading.
Through his majesty’s will, the Sekai Kingdom and its residence is also decided to trust you for the foreseeable future.
‘Hmm… this is likely a code. She’s telling that the old cooz told this to his people and they decided to keep quiet about it. Not doing anything but also not truly believing .’
Though there is much we want to tell you and his majesty wants to say, we will only end this on a high note of our consolation.
The Majesty also offers his gratitude for the gift you have chosen for us and hope that this budding friendship of ours remains purely the sa.
Her ending note talked about the gift I gave them. Well this gift was a collection of mid to high grade sigmat crystals that I gave them.
This gift was the sa thing I had sent Raven and the others for last night. Knowing our crappy relation stat, I thought it would be best if I was to sweeten the old emperors tongue by sothing.
From how Hanako wrote, it seems the old majesty is happy about it, enough to already tell his people about our relationship.
Then I think for a bit and shook my head, ‘No, he probably didn’t tell it because he was that much excited. He said it because he was wary.’
‘He knew the advantages he would get if he kept our relationship hidden but said it so that nobody gets any idea.’
‘Those greedy business n hate a lot and finding out about our secret relationship would have soured the majesty and theirs.’
“Those bastards probably hate sending Hanako out here and even more for those that had a hand in trying to kill her… because of their action, I now have slid my way into the Emperors pants.” I laugh.
“They are probably scheming sothing about it… but I don’t need to wrap my head around it for now.”
“The fact is that business is spreading and that’s good. If I have to take care of so more snakes, then I will have to.”
I was about to burn the letter when I suddenly had a thought.
I lit a candle and place the letter beside it. In a few seconds, words started appearing on the back of the letter as I smile.
‘Hanako’s smart… using secret ssage ink to actually talk to . But how did she guess I would find this?’ I think before getting rid of the thought and focusing on her secret ssage.
Dear Henry,
I don’t know if you will be able to read this part, but knowing how smart you are; you will probably figure it out.
I smile.
As I said in my letter, my father is very glad to build this new relation between us and he truly hopes to enrich it further.
Which is why he will send a special gift to you in the future.
I raise my brow.
‘The old coot sending a gift… seems like I hit the mark sending so many stuff to him.’
