Chapter 137
A while ago, Zach, Aurora, Aria, Aquarius, Aquitius the sixth, Rilu, and Ruli were eating dinner in the dining hall.
All of them were busy eating, and no one was saying anything except Aurora and Aquarius, who were glaring at each other once in a while.
Aurora was sitting at Zach’s left, and Aquarius was sitting at Zach’s right.
Zach had already told them to stop when they smeared his face with cake when they tried to feed him. So now, they were glaring at each other, but Aria was glaring at both of them.
"So...." the sixth broke the silence and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Zach raised his brows at the sixth and uttered, "You want us to leave?"
"No. I was just asking." the sixth smiled at Aquarius and said, "It’s been a long time since I saw Aquarius smiling like that. So I was curious as to how long you plan on staying here."
"Well, we were about to leave after eating dinner, but the girls made plans to sleep together tonight. So I think We will leave tomorrow morning after eating breakfast," Zach stated in a calm voice.
"Do you have any plans?" Aquarius asked meekly. "If not, then why don’t you stay the entire day tomorrow and leave for Atlantis at night?"
"I second that," the sixth quipped. "That kingdom is beautiful at night. And besides, we also need to undo the seal from the scroll."
’I don’t really have to do anything tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The dungeon raid starts in two days.’ Zach glanced at Aurora and Aria and wondered, ’We might enjoy this little vacation. Who knows, when will be the next time we get to enjoy our time like this.’
Zach nodded and said, "Okay. But tomorrow is the last day."
Ruli was the first one to finish eating and leave the dining room.
Zach watched her leave and thought, ’She probably hates my guts since I killed her husband and got her entire clan wiped out. But Maxim was abusive towards her, so I am not really sure. Although she hasn’t talked to me since then, so...’
After a while, the three girls— Aurora, Aria, and Aquarius left to have their girls talk, sleepover, and pajama party.
Soon after, Rilu left too.
Now, the sixth and Zach were the only ones present in the room.
"Please, take care of my daughter when she joins you on your journey," the sixth said with sincerity in his voice. "I am not saying this as a king, but as a father."
"You don’t have to worry about her," Zach sighed and scoffed, "You should worry about me. Handling all of them at once is going to be tough."
"Haha. You have to deal with that, aye," the sixth laughed out loud.
Zach stood up and said, "Alright. I will be leaving too. I am tired of traveling all day."
"Yes."
"Oh. by the way, what did you do with Minum’s body?" Zach asked with a curious look on his face.
"When I came back from the arena, it wasn’t there. So maybe the guards have taken it down?" "That’s the only possibility."
However, that wasn’t the case.
When Zach was only on his way to his room, he felt something was off, as though his senses were warning him. But Zach was too exhausted and thought he was simply imagining things.
However, he heard whimpering and muffled screams when he passed by a certain room. They were too low for anyone to notice, and the area was prohibited from entering other than the royal family, so there were many guards around.
Zach heard the noise at first, but he assumed it was due to air as the wind often made such noises. But then, Zach listened to the ’thud’ noise, and he was convinced that something was wrong.
He quietly walked to the room without making any noise and placed his ear on the door to listen closely.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he heard something and kick-opened the door.
There, he saw the face he ever expected to see.
"Minum..."
Minum was pinning down Ruli on the bed, and he was in the middle of ripping her clothes. He had stuffed cloth in Ruli’s mouth so she couldn’t yell or scream for help.
When Zach opened the door, Minum’s gaze turned to the door.
He immediately got off the bed and pulled Rilu close to him. Then, he placed a dagger on Ruli’s neck and said with a furious look on his face: "If you come any closer, I will kill her!"
’Now that counts as a duel, right?’ Zach raised his hands in the air to show he wasn’t holding any weapon.
"I am surprised you are still alive after getting stabbed by thousands of needles," Zach remarked.
"Shut up!" Minum yelled. "I am going to kill you! But first, I will kill her in front of you!" he said as he pressed the dagger against Ruli’s neck.
"How about we talk like adults?" Zach suggested. "You don’t have to do this."
"Shut up! You killed my brother! My guards! My family! My entire clan! And now, you want to talk like an adult?!" he yelled.
"But you are alive, right?" Zach said in a calm voice. "You can start over. Think about it. You will be the founder of your clan now. You will have the authority and power."
"I already know about that! And I will take over this kingdom! But first, I will kill her!" he shouted. "I was going to kill your bitch wife! But she was protected by the female elite guard! I have been hiding in this palace, looking for a chance to kill all of you. And now, I finally have a chance! I will kill all of you and become—"
Minum suddenly stopped as his head exploded, and his body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
SIGH!
Zach sighed with a scoff and said, "I was just buying time to charge my fingers."
Zach concentrated his MP on one finger and shot at the attack at Minum’s head.
Zach looked at Ruli and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ruli dashed at Zach and hugged him with her half-naked body.
"Thank you..."

The next morning.
Zach opened his eyes and felt as though Aurora was heavier than usual. He was still feeling dizzy and sleepy. But when he looked at his side, all his sleep vanished, and he was wide awake.
Ruli was sleeping naked beside him.
Zach looked under the blanket and saw he was naked too.
"... you have got to be kidding me..." he muttered in disbelief.
