Reincarnated Devil’s Strongest Hero Training Plan ~The baby he picked up has grown up so well that his father is confused~
Chapter 74 Whereabouts of Twilight…
“Damn it! Still no trace of Twilight!”
“Y-Your Highness Freid, my apologies! We managed to trace Twilight to a renowned slave trader named Sebas, who brought Twilight in as a combat slave. Afterwards, it seems Twilight was taken in by a dark-haired, dark-eyed young man carrying a baby. But after that, we’ve lost all trace… P-Please give us a little more time…!”
In the Kingdom of Rulans, a magical powerhouse nation that could rival any other, located on the southern continent where both humanoid and non-humanoid races coexist, Prince Freid Rulans, the second prince of the kingdom, berated his subordinates within the royal castle.
Yet the information obtained from them was as futile as ever, causing Prince Freid to contort his face in frustration at the reality not going his way.
As evident from this, he seemed to possess a rather selfish and arrogant personality.
“Do you understand? It’s been thirteen years since Twilight fell into our hands! Even for me, a long-lived dragonkin who can easily live for several hundred years, I can’t wait any longer… How much wealth do you think I’ve spent on the plan to tame and cherish Twilight as a submissive slave, making them recognize me as their absolute master? Do you understand that, huh?”
“H-Hahaha…!”
With a face twisted by arrogance, desire, and frustration, he stepped on his subordinate’s head, then drew the sword at his waist and pointed it at the subordinate’s neck.
It seemed that this failure had greatly angered him, and he couldn’t just let it slide out of frustration.
Thus, to purge the incompetent subordinate who had failed to provide a proper report for so long, he raised his arm to swing the sword and behead him, when…
At that moment, a dark elf in black attire appeared soundlessly behind the second prince and whispered certain information into his ear.
“Tokoyami, huh… So, was there some kind of progress?”
“My apologies for the delay in reporting, Lord Freid. We have finally obtained information that appears to trace back to Twilight.”
“What is it?”
Raising an eyebrow at the content delivered by the male Dark Elf known as Tokoyami, Prince Freid forgot about the subordinate who had become irrelevant by now, halted the beheading, and turned around.
“According to our investigation, it seems that Twilight is currently frequenting the largest religious nation in the western continent, the Calamiera Church, often seen in the company of a nobleman named Kakyu. However…”
“And on other continents? I see, so that’s why we couldn’t track them down…”
“No, there’s more to the report. It may sound unbelievable, but please hear me out.”
Internally rejoicing at the awaited information, yet maintaining a composed demeanor on the surface, the second prince nodded. For the past thirteen years, he had been kept waiting countless times. Listening to the full report of this competent subordinate, Tokoyami, was no trouble at all.
“You mentioned their presence confirmed on other continents, but simultaneously, the presence of a noble named Kakyu has also been confirmed in various royal capitals and major cities across the southern continent at the same time… We took time to verify the authenticity of this information, hence the delay in the report.”
“What…?”
Existence confirmed across continents simultaneously? What could that possibly mean?
While pondering this, Prince Freid was sure that his trusted subordinate, Tokoyami, wouldn’t report false information.
So, the second prince contemplated, what could this mean? And the answer he arrived at was…
“I wonder if they’ve prepared a decoy to delve into our investigation, or perhaps, though it seems highly unlikely, they’ve acquired a magical device capable of replicating teleportation…”
“Yes, that seems plausible.”
However, while not entirely impossible, they both conclude that the decoy scenario is likely a mistake.
At first glance, it seems like the most realistic speculation, but if that were the case, there would be no need to prepare a decoy on another continent.
It’s unreasonable to think that an investigation would extend to someone who has crossed to another continent, and if they are in the country of Calamiera, they wouldn’t be able to interfere easily.
And even if the one in the country is genuine and the decoy is on our side, it would be the height of folly to reveal one’s own information to the enemy despite being in a safe zone.
Therefore, while unlikely, it seemed that acquiring a legendary magical device capable of replicating teleportation was the closest to the correct answer.
However, even if they possessed such a legendary magical device, the fact that their whereabouts could be determined means that contact with Twilight is possible.
In other words, there’s no need to use the magical device; they just need to catch them off guard or restrain them.
Of course, it might be impossible for ordinary soldiers, but with Tokoyami, who is on par with Twilight as an assassin, lending his strength, it wouldn’t be so difficult.
After various information sharing, the second prince concluded that it was possible to plunder enough from the wealthy nobles to ensure the success of the plan.
“Hehehe… Yes, this is it. This is perfect. As the second prince of the magical kingdom of Rulans, there’s no woman I cannot obtain. There’s no reason for her not to be there. Wait for me, Twilight. Look forward to the day I claim you…”
Having laid the groundwork by using all means to obtain the female assassin called Twilight, the second prince, Freid, was on the verge of making her his loyal pet in every sense. The thought of possessing her beautiful body, noble heart, and supreme assassin skills made him forget even the need to maintain appearances, revealing a grotesque smile.
Seeing his master like this, Tokoyami glanced coldly behind him and disappeared into the darkness once more, his expression unchanged.
There were several reports he intentionally withheld this time.
Firstly, the fact that Twilight already had the protection of a super warrior, arguably the strongest human being.
Secondly, the fact that a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy, who might surpass even that protector in overall strength, was traveling with the super warrior and approaching this country.
He had only conveyed these two facts to his master, omitting the rest, presenting them as pieces to be used in contacting Twilight, much like the noble Kakyu.
It wasn’t a false report, but it wasn’t entirely true either.
And thus, unaware of the trap set by the male assassin known as Tokoyami, the prince dragonkin continued to revel in his desires, laughing incessantly.
