Chapter 166: Plan of Action
Kim felt like she should be annoyed or something that help only arrived now. After they'd dealt with most of the situation, such as the doppelgangers. Yet, as she saw the 'reinforcements' arrive, she felt more relief than anything.
Aside from knowing they could take it easy from here, she was sure that Elin was going to be fine now. Or at least once they wrapped this up and everything. First they needed to find the chamberlain and get him to talk...
Kim's thoughts trailed off when she remembered Owen's ability with his system. How he could read thoughts. A smirk formed on her face as she realized that they wouldn't need to do much in the way of interrogating the chamberlain once they had him. They would just need Owen to relay what he was thinking to them so they could say if he was pretty much the head of this attempt or not.
"Didn't expect to see you here," Owen remarked as Kim, Jonas, and Elmo approached the newcomers.
"Well, we didn't expect to see any help here," Jonas answered. "What made you come here anyway?"
"Well, we heard the announcement and just happened to be in the city. So I went with Leon, Elwin, and Bart to where the king lived and asked the guards where the king was. Naturally they didn't say anything, but I did pick up this location in their thoughts. Then on the way over here, we found Patrick and Patricia who were also searching for the king's location."
"Why were you looking for his location?" Elmo asked.
Kim felt a strong urge to just smack Elmo upside the head for that question. Of course they'd be looking for the king! You can't make an attempt on his life if he's not around, and that's what the challenge was. To stop such an attempt.
"Because we can't stop an assassination attempt on the king if we don't know where the king is," Bart echoed Kim's thoughts.
"Oh," Elmo said, looking rather sheepish.
Still, Kim felt the urge to smack him anyway. Though, she pushed down the urge because she had a feeling it probably wouldn't help them out any.
