11 Chapter 10: Rebellion (part 2)

I was now alone in my new room, Midori won't allow me to sleep in my former room in the guild because, I put Kayda there I lay on the bed slept. The skill [Foresight] activated

I felt terrible pain and it revealed me to be inside a cell, in front of me was a crystal where I was being broadcasted throughout the kingdom.

[The <god> '???' Is interested in your future]

Only he responded I wonder why, then I woke up with pain all over my body I turned and saw Midori reading a book with one hand.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh you're awake."

"Like I ask what are you doing here?"

She blushes a little when I noticed I was holding her other hand.

"Look you were groaning in pain, so I thought you needed some help but you held my hand instead and said 'Nee-chan' ."

I quickly let go and embarrassment soon covered my face.

[The <god> '???' Is laughing at you]

[The <god> 'Wisewoman of Olympus' is giggling]

[The <god> 'Heavenly Sword' is laughing at 'you' and at his 'vessel']

But the <gods> of 'Shamayim' aren't responding, I guess what was happening is that Barachiel or better known as 'Chieftain of the Guardian Angels' struck a demon king's 'vessel'.

"Say, Akamine-san, Chieko told me to come here because she said that you have a plan."

"I do have a plan, and you'll be the main component."

"Huh?"

"You see, you have a royal 'Trait' right?"

"Umm, yeah?"

"I'll use that to my advantage."

A devious smirk formed on my face and Midori backed off a little.

"How long have I been sleeping?"

"About 10 hours or so."

"Gather the party members, I'll explain the plan."

While she went outside, a message popped up.

[The <god> '???' Has improved your skill 'Judgement of Light and Darkness']

I looked at the improvement and it shocked me. Then Zei went inside followed by the rest of the party members.

"You have asked to gather us to hear your stupid plan?"

"Yup, that's the role I've been given so stop complaining."

I looked at Ryoto who was now fully healed and said to him.

"You did well Ryoto."

"But I've failed to protect her."

"Look on the brighter side she's still with us and you're alive."

He's eyes teared up and said.

"Thank you Akamine-sama! I won't disappoint you next time."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Ryoto was shocked to hear the plan, but not the others looks like they were expecting this, Midori's reaction was a bit violent though as to point her sword at my neck.

The plan is simple really, but before that I want to gather all the advantages I have, yesterday when Kayda was in that blood filled room I got a good look at her stats.

Name: Kayda

Age: 17

Level: 5 (200)

Supporting god(s): Tiamat 'Mother of Dragons'

Traits: Demi god, Half Dragon, Berserker, Slayer, Daughter of Tiamat

Stats: (Str): 20 (2500) (Agl): 15 (1500)

(Vit): 15 (2789) (Int): 25 (300) (Magic Power): 100 (3000)

[the next informations are Blocked by her supporter 'Mother of Dragons']

I figured out why Tiamat is overprotective of Kayda it's because they're mother and daughter, with this fact I can have a room to negotiate with the queen, with Kayda being the bargaining chip. But if push comes to shove blackmailing will be a better weapon.

Anyways the plan is Me, Ryoto, Yuki, and Midori will go to the manor where the queen is and to negotiate with, while Midori will act as the party leader, then while that's happening Zei and Chieko will isolate the room we're in.

[The <god> 'Mother of Dragons' is furious at 'you']

"You fiend! You dare to use Kayda as a bargaining chip after all she's been through."

"Yes it'll improve our chances of success."

"Youu..."

I looked at her in the eyes and she withdrew her sword and left the room.

"Well let's meet downstairs later if everyone is ready."

"You really are going to use all the advantages you have, won't you Rai-kun? *sigh* I'll go talk to Midori-chi"

With those words they left one by one, this didn't phase me as I was used to being left alone anyways, I looked at Ryoto who still remained.

"Akamine-sama I don't have any objections, and I shall take my leave."

I left as soon as Ryoto did, when I stepped outside the room I saw Kayda she running towards me and hugged me.

"My savior why do you look sad."

Do I look like that to her.

"It's nothing Kayda listen you stay here with Ms. Angelica okay."

"But I want to be with you."

For a 17 years old girl she acts like a child, I guess she was kidnapped fairly young then, wait then why were there hidden stats could it be she has a split personality.

"No, you can't come, it's much safer here."

"I'm really strong myself you know!"

She pouted and puffed then banged on her chest.

"No."

"But, I want to stay by saviors side."

"Look, I'll treat you to something later once I come back okay."

Kayda smiled brightly and then she said.

"promise!"

"promise."

"Yaay."

I sighed as she went back to her room skipping, after she left I immediately went to Angelica's room the former guild master.

[You have entered a privates 'Area']

"Hello there, <Judge>."

"Good to see you again, Angelica."

"I know what you want, to protect Kayda."

"Then I'll just leave."

I was about to leave, but she stood up from her chair and grabbed my arm.

"Wait you came, here for another thing!"

"Yes I came here to claim the World <Quest>."

I've never seen Angelica this flustered, the moment she heard world <quest> she flinched and let go of my arm.

"Fine here you go."

A message appeared out of no where, I came here cause knowing that Angelica will give a world <quest> because Yuki said that they are given by the <Will of The World> but isn't Angelica an <Apostle> of the will, then she must've also have at the very least rights to give one right?

As I thought I was right, I took a deep breath then went out of the room, to head down where the party is.

***

Behind Angelica a shadow emerged and a woman went out of it, wearing a japanese kimono. with straight black hair, and red eyes, the woman placed her hands on Angelica's shoulders as if to give her a massage.

"He's handsome isn't he?"

"Shut it, Shinku."

"You're no fun, anyways I can't wait for my little brother to meet me again."

She giggled as she disappear.

***

"So are you guys ready?"

"Yes we are."

I could feel that the entire area was tense mostly because of Midori staring at me intensely.

"Then let's go."

"Wait Akamine-san, I want to apologize for what I did earlier."

"It's fine, let's just hope my plan succeeds without using Kayda as a bargaining chip."

I turned around to face Zei, who was holding her staff in front of her, with a magic circle forming underneath her.

"Zei you ready to teleport us."

"Ready as I'll ever be."

As light surrounded us, We were now in front of a huge gate and in the surrounding was a forest, I looked at my party members.

"Well then, good luck to all of us."

Chieko disappeared in the surrounding trees together while carrying Zei.

"Who goes there?"

Guards began emerging behind the gate, and Midori stepped forward.

"We just want an audience with the queen."

A guard with better equipment that seems like the captain of these troops replied.

"Sorry! But not at this time, you must go here on a later date! Now begone before we arrest you!"

[King's Aura (lvl 10) has been activated]

[Command (lvl 11) has been activated]

Midori looked at them with cold eyes, and one of them fell over their butt.

"Like I said, I want an audience with the queen and do not make me repeat myself."

"Y-yes ma'am! I'll open the gate right away!"

The captain opened the gate and proceeded to guide us to where the queen is. I wonder if they see the insignia on our hands.

"Hey can you see this?"

"Umm no sir."

I checked his skills and looks like he doesn't have any observation or appraisal type skills, well it looks only people with those types of skills can see it.

"Ummm here we are ma'am! But only you can enter."

"No I'll be taking them with me."

Midori opened the door and the lieutenant captain saw us, so did the queen which was sitting in front of a desk. she has dark violet hair and red piercing eyes, I secretly checked her stats.

"My queen sorry for the intrusion."

"It's okay, you may leave."

"Thank you, your majesty."

As the guard left shutting the door behind us. I could see party messages.

Zei: you guys are okay, just say the word and we'll knock out all the guys surrounding you right now, wait there are heroes as well.

Rai: change of plans Chieko go to Zei's position and Zei can you make this room into a pocket dimension.

Chieko: roger that.

Zei: I can but only for 10 minutes

Rai: no that's good enough

It was Yuki's turn I chose him to do the sweet talking.

"Hello my queen sorry for our intrusion."

"I know what you came here for."

"You already know?"

"You want me to help you with the duke Arlon problem is that it?"

"Why yes it is my queen! how smart of you to guess."

Rai: do it now Zei

[You have entered a 'Private Area']

"Sorry, but, I need that slave. Guards arrest them and help them as well o 'heroes'!"

Queen Olivia smiled in a creepy manner and sir, Roland has unsheathe his sword ready to fight us.

But No one came in.

"Yuki take care of Sir. Roland if he does anything stupid."

I turned to face queen Olivia who's smile is now broken, and made a face full with terror.

"Hello there Queen, my name is Rai your actual opponent."

"Why aren't anyone heeding my calls!"

"Easy we've set this up as a pocket dimension."

Her eyes focused on me, then I showed her the phone which was playing the video of the queen and Sir.Roland making out.

"Let's make a deal shall we."

Sir. Roland tried to slash my hand but Ryoto blocked it for me with his katana and Yuki followed up by kicking him in the stomach knocking him to the wall. Eventually Yuki put a blade at Roland's neck only a centimeter away from actually killing him.

"And why should I?"

"If not I'll spread this to the whole kingdom."

Laughter emerged from the queen and confidence filled her face.

[Skill 'Royal Command' lvl 4 has been activated]

[Skill 'Command' lvl 6 has been activated]

[Destroy that device]

Her voice rang through my head luckily for me the skill 'calm mind' acts like a mental barrier.

[skill 'Calm Mind' lvl 13 has offset the effects]

I wonder about the rest though, I look around and it seems none of them were affected.

"Hmph, even if you are the queen, my loyalty to Akamine-sama is much stronger!"

The confidence that the queen had was now destroyed, because none of us was affected by her skills.

"What do you want?"

She gritted her teeth as she admits defeat.

"First I want the slavery ownership over Kayda to end, second I want access to all the information you have on the slave trade that has been taking place in the capital, and third your full support to back us in the fight against the slave trader duke Arlon."

The queens face bewildered at what I said and she stood up and shouted.

"How did you know that I was the one who put that quest up?!"

"You said it yourself, that you need that 'slave' didn't you, not only that, I got quick look at the map and seems that the capital is far away how would a 'slave' be able to run from there to here, unless she came from here instead."

Queen Olivia sat back down and cancelled the quest.

"I'll agree to those terms but what's in it for me?"

I glared at her and she paled when I said.

"Your dignity and position as the queen and for your safety."

Queen Olivia's face was amusing as fear was clearly shown.

Rai: you can take it down now Zei.

Zei: you sure took your time.

The 'subspace' was now taken down and messages from the <gods> were booming. Asking what did I do inside that space.

"See you later queen Olivia."

She gritted her teeth as I left.

"Honestly Akamine-san, your more like the devil rather than the hero."

"Don't call me that please."

"I think what Akamine-sama did was awesome!"

"I agree with Midori-san on this one."

We were escorted by the guards as we leave the manor, outside the manor, and we met up with Zei and Chieko.

"Hello, Midori-chi so how was the negotiation."

"It went rather well."

Midori looked at me, probably thinking (it worked rather well for us but not for her) but I shrugged it off.

"So Rai-san, What's the plan now?"

All of them looked at me.

"We'll prepare for a rebellion, and we will go to the capital, at the end of the 2nd week of this month."

They agreed to the plan as we walk back to the former guild hall.
