"Have you already. Obtained what you wanted?" asked Veirya.
When I returned ho, Lucia gently placed a full bag of gold coins in front of us which, presumably, was the two hundred and fifty gold coins inco. The entire bag was filled with heavy gold coins. I'd never forget the beautiful side view of the face on the coins. I was absolutely positive it was the side of Queen Sisi's face. The carving magnificently brought her to life. Despite being just a side view, it perfectly exhibited her beauty. I had to admit it was the most splendid art design I'd ever witnessed.
Queen Sisi must've liked that sort of gold coin; she was the type who loved to flaunt her beauty, after all. Veirya was different. Queen Sisi put great effort into her appearance. Thus, Queen Sisi was worthy of being called the empire's most beautiful woman.
I sat down on a chair and answered, "Basically. However, I must now bring Leah with on a trip to the imperial capital."
Veirya wasn't dressed. She rely had a cloak draped over her front side. Needless to say, I was sure she would've been stark naked if Anna didn't suggest she cover herself. Veirya tilted her head: "Why do you have to go to the imperial capital."
"The Queen might have a plausible idea for dealing with the chapel. At the sa ti, the chapel happens to be in the imperial capital. I, therefore, need to make a trip there. Leveraging this incident alone to deal with the chapel is insufficient. The Queen won't fight with the chapel just because they made an attempt on my life. We must find an excuse that would provoke her."
Veirya nodded: "All right, then. I'll go with you."
"Your back injury hasn't healed yet. Stay ho and recuperate. Leave it to ."
Veirya calmly replied, "Your foot injury hasn't healed, either."
"I'm fine. By the ti we reach the Imperial Capital, my foot would've practically healed. I'm going to see the Queen this ti; I should be fine. The chapel wouldn't start in the imperial capital even if they were crazier, would they?"
"Take good care of Leah, then," said Veirya, with a nod. She paused before adding, "I'll go. To the imperial capital to find you. When I have healed."
"Mm, take good care of yourself, then."
Truth be told, I didn't plan to let Veirya co to the imperial capital, as what I had in mind might've crossed Veirya's bottom line. With that said, it wasn't totally unacceptable to her; rather, Veirya could accept anything. This ti, however, I had no energy to spare on looking after Veirya and Leah whilst trying to deal with the Queen, Achilles and the chapel. If I wasn't worried about Leah's identity being discovered, I wouldn't have wanted to bring her along, either.
I was taking on the chapel, an organisation that had been established for so ti, I didn't know how long. I didn't have the foggiest idea as to how many believers they had. I had to do my best to eradicate them. That being the case, I needed to focus all of my energy on work. Judging from the chapel's previous performance, they weren't fools. I was certain it won't be easy to get my hands on sothing I could leverage against the chapel. Furthermore, I didn't have any clues at the mont. I needed to find out more while on the way there.
Lucia looked at Veirya then . She clasped my face and seriously said, "I need to return to the elven lands. I'll co back to pick up the remaining money later. Travor helped a lot this ti. You're our most valued friend. In the future, if you co to our elven lands I'll definitely do whatever I can to help you. Travor thank you very much for your help"
Lucia suddenly went up on her toes and gently kissed on my face. Anna nearly shrieked, but quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Veirya silently watched us. Lucia moved away and looked at with hot flushes on her face. She softly giggled, and then dexterously hopped back. With a smile, she said, "So, then, I'll definitely give you an invaluable present the next ti we et. Goodbye, Travor."
Because Lucia kissed before, I quickly cald down this ti. In saying that, before I could say goodbye, Veirya suddenly grabbed my hair from behind and turned my head around. All of a sudden, I was looking up at Veirya's descending breasts.
"Wait, Lucilia"
Veirya looked at Lucia then lowered her head in a swift motion. Before I could say anything, it sounded as if a teor smashed into my teeth. Veirya's teeth smashed into mine, rattling my brain. She then looked up at Lucia. Lucia wore a stunned expression. Lucia shuddered, and then exclaid, "Wh-Wh-What are you doing? Teeth to teeth? Is that so sort of new greeting you humans do?!"
Veirya clasped my face with both hands. She looked at Lucia and, in a tone that left no room for questioning, replied, "This. Is humanity's action. For showing intimacy."
I had a strong urge to argue otherwise but my brain was jumbled. Lucia was rendered speechless. She hesitated for a mont then said, "D-Do I have to smash my teeth with him, as well? It looks painful"
"No," replied Veirya, quickly pressing a hand to my mouth and vigilantly watching Lucia. "No. Only I can do. Lucilila. No."
"I-I see"
Gaze on Veirya, Lucia slowly walked backwards. She didn't quite understand why Veirya was angry or humanity's odd greeting. She retreated another step: "I-I'll be on my way, then mm See you next ti See you next ti."
Veirya nodded: "Mm."
Lucia went to the door. Then, she turned her head to look at : "By the way, rember, your foot's nerves have yet to recover. If you run fast during your recovery phase, you may very well sprain it again. If you hurt it again, that foot will be permanently damaged. It won't break and can recover, but you won't be able to perform any high-difficulty movents again. If you don't want to end up crippled, you must rest up properly until you're fully recovered, understood?'
I nodded: "Of course."
I'd protect my foot, obviously. There'd be lots of inconveniences in the future if I lost a leg.
Suddenly, Veirya spoke up: "After you go to the Imperial Capital. Rember. To bring stuff back for . Her Majesty. Should. Still be thinking about ."
No guarantees there If Her Majesty was still thinking about Veirya, we were in danger For all we know, Her Majesty might've wanted to eliminate Veirya Veirya was a warrior capable of slaying the Demon King. Consequently, it was inevitable for her to consider Veirya a Demon King to a certain degree. I needed to probe around and find out what her attitude toward Veirya was. Queen Sisi was a fearso murderer. Her adventurer kill record spoke for itself. The last one might very well be Veirya.
