My Magical System

Chapter 90: Parliament

Elder Grenn in his chamber, sitting in his usual spot. He just finished secretly informing his people about tonight’s possible sneak attack from an enemy.

He hid about Eman’s identity. He just told them that there might be a possibility of an attack coming from another family.

He could not reveal even a slight information that may lead to discovering his well-buried secret.

A moment later a person in a black outfit covering his nose and mouth down to his feet appeared from the shadow in front of the Elder.

It was one of his Golden stage soldiers. The mist master, ‘Mr. Musk!’

He beckoned to the person to continue what his business for appearing in front of him.

“My lord, all of our men are already at their position.” Mr. Must reported.

.....

Elder Grenn just nodded. Actually, he is not afraid of that kid. What he was afraid of was the revelation of his secret. He never even thought of that person as a possible danger to his life. Right at this moment, his men were already in their position waiting for that rat to appear.

They were lurking in the shadows with their stealthy method. Each of them was not a beginner. They were all experts. They have their own ways of hiding themselves.

He could not help thinking that he made such a rash decision for making that woman Detty to stay in his manor for a night. With those many high ranker soldiers that were roaming around their manor, certainly, not even a mosquito could sneak inside.

Currently, he had 500 Silver Grade people guarding the manor. Most of them were hiding to avoid suspicion from that woman Detty. Not only did he need to conceal this preparation, but he also needed to be wary of that woman. Elder Grenn could not let that woman sniff even a little information.

He must show it as something like an assassination to his life.

Elder Grenn smiled. Maybe he could also use it as some members of Gentlewind family was into his life. Hehe, he could do it after he caught that fool kid. Elder Grenn smiled even broader at the thought.

And thought to himself: “I’m such a genius. Hehehehe!”

His white whiskers dancing and his shoulders were twitching as he was chuckling from the plan that unexpectedly formed in his mind.

All of these had reflected on red liquids inside a cup of liquor.

His soldiers were not the best of the best he had at the moment. Most of the strongest ones were sent into the frontline. But he knows that this many were more than enough to capture that kid.

Those slightly weaker soldiers were guarding the gate area.

And there were 5 Gold Stage stationed relatively close to his chamber. They were concealing themselves at the moment to ambush that kid if ever what he stated in the letter were to be true.

However, Elder Grenn believes that that insect just wanted to scare him, which is a big failure and a childish act for him.

It was not easy to scare someone like him who was one of the elders from the Gentlewind family.

Elder Grenn chuckled again and shook his head slightly for the kid. Then he gnawed a big piece of meat from a Golden Fur Deer. This meat was special meat with the rank of Rank BB.

It was juicy and very fresh. It was rich in magical energy that a magician who took a bite on it would increase their magical energy a little.

This meat was from the West part of the empire. It was owned by the rank 6th family, the Stonehard family. It was one of their most popular products on that side.

Elder Grenn did suggest to the other Elders to attack that family. And took some of their towns. But the main house put a stop on this brilliant idea of him.

He could only shake his head in dismay as he thought of how cowardy the other family members of their Gentlewind family were. They did not even think how it could increase their power if they ever managed to occupy an area in the west part of the empire.

If only his Grenn family took the seat of the patriarch. He would definitely do better than the Davila family.

Only in that place that these Golden Fur Deer could live. Because of the place that was surrounded by forest and had many wild plants and animals rich in magical energy.

Unlike in the northern area where only hostile and fierce beasts were roaming around. And most of them were not as delicious as the Golden Fur Deer. Although the northern part was a mountainous area, the place was not as rich in magical energy unlike in the western part.

Elder Grenn sighed and continued his meal.

In the veranda of one of the rooms in Grenn family manor. Detty was holding a cup with dark red liquor occupying half of the glass.

Her back was relaxed leaning on the leaning-back of the chair that was made of metal painted in white, and having exquisite design.

Such a relaxing atmosphere, in addition to the illumination coming from the moon, her beautiful face that exudes an alluring aura of an adult was being paired by the thin fabric of her red nightgown, that opened wide on its chest area. Such a voluptuous chest could attract even a blind person, by its smell alone that coming from her favorite perfume.

She just finished messing up with Janrui and now was a little bored.

Detty shook slightly the metal cup she was holding before a smile happened on her red-colored lips.

Suddenly, a human silhouette appears in front of her. It bent her knees and said: “My lady, just as you expected. The whole manor was surrounded by soldiers of the Grenn family. They are totaled 500+ compose of Silver and Gold Stage.” Reported the silhouette.

Detty frowned. Wondering what that elder was trying to do. This whole situation was clearly unusual.

After a second, another silhouette arrived. After it down to her knee like the first one, Detty nodded at her.

Seeing her permission to speak, she said: “My lady, last day, a carriage full of the corpse was delivered in this manor...” Detty’s eyes are slightly balled. But she remained quiet and waited for her aid to finish her report.

“And in one of the corpses, a letter was found stating a death threat for the elder’s life.”

“What?!” Detty cried out.

Ting! The metal table in front of her produced a loud metal noise when she subconsciously landed the metal cup in a forceful manner. Which causes the liquor inside of it to overflow a bit. But none of them minded it.

She was flabbergasted from the news she just heard from her aids. However, she could not just barge-into Grenn family issues.

However, this was not an ordinary issue. It could be said that whoever the person who delivered the letter must be aware that Elder Grenn was one of the Elder from Gentlewind family.

In this case, it’s not only the issue of the Grenn family but also, a challenge to all Gentlewind families.

“My lady, what is your next plan?” Asked one of her aid.

Detty did not reply and was in deep contemplation. She could not just make a rash decision at the moment. Since Elder Grenn already made enough preparations, right now, what she could do was to sniff as much information as she could regarding the issue. After all, they still did not know who was Elder Grenn’s enemy.

She thought that she was right that something was amiss in this family branch. But who might be their enemy? If it’s from the other great noble family, she just wished not the rank 11, 12, and 13. And also she hoped the Grenn family did not infuriate their ally family, the rank 8 Goldenlotus family.

After a brief moment of silence, she opened her mouth and asked: “Was the letter stated if what time and day the assassination will take place?”

“Yes, My lady, it’s tonight!” Her aid hastily answered.

“T-Tonight? Hmm...” Detty finally realized the full picture of why the Elder Grenn acting weirdly this morning.

After her aid nodded, she asked them to help her to change her clothes. She needed to talk with Elder Grenn and tried to wordplay him to blurt some information regarding the current issue of the Grenn Family.

When Detty and her aides Lili and Lila arrived outside the chamber of Elder Grenn, they heard loud voices coming from inside.

She immediately asked the two guards that were guarding the door.

“My lady, some people from the parliament were inside.” Said the one of the guards.

“Parliament?!” Detty was surprised.
