Dark Reincarnation: Nightshade

Chapter 33

                      Unknown POV

   *Knock knock*

  It's about damn time that idiot showed up.

               "Enter."

   As soon as I said that my latest head of Intel entered and stood before my desk. This better be good, I'm not in the mood for any bullshit right now. Judging from his calm demeanor there doesn't seem to be any real issues, so at least there's that.

       "You wanted to see me."

                "I want a report, you have permission to skip over the trivial bullshit and I only want to hear good news."

        "In that case, I'm afraid there isn't much I'm able to report."

                 "But there is something yes? Proceed."

         "Sir. Firstly, we were successfully able to take control of the recently discovered mithril mine without public knowledge. We're starting mining operations under the pretense of clearing the area to expand the land.

     "Secondly, the latest group of knights have returned from their training on the isle. Making our total of general knights just short of 30,000. We had this group stationed at an encampment to the west effectively keeping our forces spread out so as to not raise suspicion.

      "We have also finished the construction of a warp gate there so they can be called forth at a moments notice."

     Not bad, our forces are definitely growing larger in number. And being able to return from the isle both alive and sane is a major feat. Not even I want to go to that gods forsaken place. Knowing another group has successfully came back unscathed is good news indeed.

     And thanks to these warp gates, which all the ones we've made are linked to the main one here, with a simple command an army the likes no one has seen will instantly be here. My mood is slightly improving, I'll give him that. There's only one thing that keeps me in such a rotten mood. That fucking girl.

               "All that is good news, I can't deny that. But you already know what I'm going to ask next."

         "I do. Unfortunately sir, we have not-."

   *Knock knock knock knock*

    Who the fuck is it that's knocking on my damn door like that. My irritation is quickly growing again.

           "Come in. And this better be fucking good or you won't be walking out of this office." Not a second after I said that the door flies open. Immediately a short scrawny looking man with a mask covering all but his eyes darts into the room.

     He instantly rushed over to my head of intelligence, whispered something into his ear, bowed and then turned and promptly left. Looking over at the guy in question, even though I'm sure my face was showing how pissed off I was getting, he still held an ear to ear grin.

         "Pardon me sir, apparently I was about to mistakingly tell you bad news. But, thanks to my team, that won't be the case."

                "You finally got a location?"

        "Yes sir, down to the kingdom she resides, the guild she's employed with and the exact location of her current place of residence."

                 "FINALLY!! Fucking aye, that is more then just good news." Now I am truly excited. My foul mood may have just turned a complete 180°. It's about fucking time.

         "I have already ordered men to head there immediately via telepathy. I sent my best and quickest. They should arrive there in two days time. If you will excuse me sir, I'll take my leave and oversee operations."

                   "No, no you won't."

          "Sir?"

                    "Calm yourself, I only say no because it is now someone else's job. You've officially outdone yourself yet again. I couldn't sleep tonight if I left you in that position."

            "Pardon me, but exactly what are you saying sir?"

                      "Pack your bags, you're actually getting promoted. Welcome to the Holy Inner Circle. I expect even greater things from you."

             "Yes sir!!! Right away sir!!!"

    After watching him rush out of my office with a pep in his step I quickly locked the door and used an area silence spell. After I was sure nobody would be able to hear anything I walked over to my desk and opened a hidden drawer. Pulling out a small communication stone I activated and waited for indication someone was listening. It didn't take long for a deep voice to emanate from the stone.

           "This had better be good, what is it?"

                  "We finally found her, we're moving in now."

             "Good. Keep us updated."

   With that the stone deactivated once again. With a deep sigh I sat back and kicked my feet up on my desk. This truly is a good day.

        'Enjoy whatever time you have left you little bitch. Soon you will no longer be such a thorn in our side....'
