Chapter 122 - Having Some Fun
Chapter 122 - Having Some Fun
I decided to have some fun with those two, so I knocked on the door, very, very slowly, as if I was in some kind of horror movie.
-Knock!
-Knock!
-Knock!
I made sure to make each knock at a one-second interval. And as soon as I knocked on the door, everything became silent inside. I could barely hear small murmurs. They had clearly been unaware of my presence. However, as I closed my eyes, I felt their auras getting closer to the door, albeit slowly.
"Hey, you two. Can I enter?" I asked out loud. I didn't care if anyone even heard me. They were the ones who would get punished without a doubt.
It wasn't surprising, but there was no answer.
Instead of waiting around, I simply kicked the door with all the strength I could muster, causing the door to break and be launched against the wall on the other side of the room.
Luckily for my enemies, they had been standing on both sides of the door, so they didn't get knocked out from receiving the door on their faces. However, when the two of them saw me, they looked absolutely terrified.
"Did you let him follow you?!" the noble asked with a clear frown.
I didn't remember seeing him when I was getting my judgment by the queen, but he was definitely a noble. They all looked pretty much the same.
Clothes that looked expensive, long hair, blue eyes, and their bodies were undeveloped because they never fought.
All the nobles that I had observed in the hall had been this exact way. So there was no doubt in my mind that he was also part of them, which confirmed my theory. Some nobles were definitely out to get me before I reached the Icy Lake.
I nodded. It made sense. It had to be someone who was close to the queen who could pull off something like this. There was no doubt about it. The Royal Adviser was definitely one of the top choices for something like this.
"Do you know why he asked something like this from you?"
The noble shook his head. "I-I have no idea!"
I activated my skill to see whether this man was currently lying, and it seemed that he was lying to me. After all, he had mentioned the name of Zero; this noble knew more about this situation than he let on.
"Tell me what you know about Zero. Don't skip a single detail, or I will kill you without wasting another word. I don't like being lied to."
The noble trembled as I tightly held his shoulder.
"I-I only know that he's someone extremely powerful that no one here should mess with. I also know that we need to keep his existence a secret from the queen and not say a word about what he's doing in the Icy Lake. T-That's all, I swear that's all I know."
I activated my skill, and this man wasn't lying. That was actually all he knew about Zero.
'Hm, that adviser is smart, going through a middleman to execute the assassination.'
"Do you know what Zero is doing in the Icy Lake?"
"No idea! I swear... please, I only accepted to do this because I was promised a ton of money. I swear!"
I smiled as I slowly caressed his face, which was now filled with tears.
"I know you're telling the truth. I guess I'll give you a painless death because you told me the truth."
A look of horror appeared on his face as I cut off his head, just like I had done with the assassin.
