Chapter 71: Kings Gratitude
Thump!! The body fell to the floor with a bit of a rumble to it before Artemis wiped his blade clean.
That’s one problem dealt with for the time being— It’ll make for one hell of a story when I catch the party up on everything that’s happened today. Yes, everything happened within a day of us arriving here.
I didn’t expect it to unfold this fast but it did and I’m glad to say that it’s over now. Isabel is waiting for me back in that tower though so I’ll need to head for her.
"Who are you boy?" King Kuroda asks with curiosity in his voice.
Artemis turns to face the king and sheathes his sword. "Artemis, I’m just a traveler who was passing through." He answers with a genuine tone to his voice.
He definitely knows that something is up with me since I just killed everyone in the room without any time to waste. It was all done quick and left them no chance to attack me.
I’m probably seen as some sort of monster by his guards at the very least, I’d be thinking that if I saw someone do any of the things that I did.
Kuroda looks about the room as he takes in the sight of all the bodies. "You have my gratitude Artemis. It’s quite rare that someone will rush to the aid the king in a time like this. Stick around the kingdom for a bit and I’ll give you something in return. Haha" King Kuroda says before letting out a laugh.
I’m glad he’s happy about me saving him in this situation instead of questioning everything I did. By the looks of him, I guess he’s probably seen a lot in his time.
