Chapter 492: To the Assassin’s Guild
“Oh… now that sounded ominous,” Vanessa said and shook her head. “Now, where is the nearest teleporter?”
“We’re in Savannah,” Derek said. Then moved over and opened the door to his private Void Travel room. After that, he led the Shadow Witch up the stairs, then out of his shop. “Follow me.” He took a step and headed toward the Teleportation Building.
“I never thought I’d end up going back to the guild’s base of operations again,” Vanessa said as they walked,
“Why is that?” Derek asked.
“For starters, it’s part of my oaths and contracts with the Kingdom of Cydaria. I can’t knowingly reach out to and associate with my former assassin acquaintances.”
“You’re doing it now,” Derek said.
“It’s a special circumstance,” Vanessa replied. “King Edward, through his intent, gave me permission to help you—and since that help included contacting the Assassin’s Guild, it is being allowed. As long as I am with you and we are not plotting against the kingdom, it will be okay. Surprisingly, the oaths and contracts are not overly convoluted and put great meaning in my intent. Since I have no intent on going against the Kingdom of Cydaria, there is no problem with me doing what I am doing now.”
“I see,” Derek said. “That’s good. That means that I don’t have to take you back to the palace to get specific permission from Edward, so you don’t break any oaths or anything.”
“It is because the new king places a lot of trust in you,” Vanessa said with a nod. After a short while, the two made it to the Teleportation Building and Vanessa took the lead. Before long, the two were standing outside another Teleportation Building in a city known as Rivalt—which was one of the more mid-sized cities in the kingdom—and located in the west central part of the kingdom. It was a city that Derek had not heard anything about before.
