An Unexpected Variable

"Oh wow.. I didn't know King Julius had that type of vision."

King Charles spoke with slight mockery in his voice when he heard Ale say that they didn't have any plans on scavenging. He saw right through Ale's lie.

It was only natural considering how long the two have known each other. And Ale wasn't aiming to create the perfect lie either. He didn't care either way whether the King believed him or not.

It wouldn't change a thing in the end. He'd still have what he came here to take no matter what happens or how the King reacts. If conversing doesn't work, he'd have to resort to something else, that's all.

"You aren't really in a position to be picky here, are you, your majesty?"

"What?"

Sensing the change in Ale's tone, the King's expression hardened instantly. The gentle and polite aura surrounding Ale was slowly starting to come off.
