Gluttonous Beast Pt.I

I returned to the others after finishing off the assailant. They had surrounded the princess and put up a magic barrier to prevent any further attacks. Maybe they should have done that while she was giving her speech.

“When did you-”

Sunalla approached me to ask some questions, but now wasn’t the time in my opinion.

‘I know who did this. Is it alright if I go handle them?’

I looked at the princess for confirmation and she mauled over it for a while.

“Who did this?”

‘The Sikari Guild from what I gathered.’

“Huh? If it’s someone from there, I doubt you would have gotten any answers.”

‘I can read minds.’

I gave her that simple excuse. It would probably be a bad idea to tell them I eat souls to acquire information I’m seeking. Just imagine you had been insulting someone who could kill you at a moment’s notice without blinking. You’d put your guard up around that person, no?
