Enigma

"I see. Even small information's can be a big help for us." Alberu says, smiling. His gaze still onto Kim. 

"However, It will not be for free." Kim suddenly said and crossed both of her arms. There was a subtle crease on the kings brow but was ignored. 

"After all, there is nothing free in this world, right? Your Majesty" Kim then adds with smirk and tilts his head gently.

Cale jaw drops by Kim's bold actions. He knows he acts like that, but he never thinks of acting like that in front of a royalty, especially the king itself. He wants to go and grab Kim's arms and tell her to act properly as the oldest one from the two of them? However, he can't do that as he can't interrupt the two.

Alberu saw the woman in front of him smirks while also crossing her arms. The actions are obviously disrespectful in front of a king. However, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling by the lady's smirk. 

"I see..." Alberu cleared his throat and agreed with the lady's statement. "The young lady is right there is indeed nothing free in this world." Alberu smiles, a scammer smile in what Raon calls. And also crosses his arms. 

"Then what can this king offer to this generous young lady?" Alberu fixes his position and adds. "As long as it is within my power, I shall grant your request." 

Alberu's gaze became sharp when he said those words. He started to think of what the lady might want. The most obvious one is returning back to her world. However, other than that, she could ask for something else. 

The king's gaze landed at their Cale, who is looking at his counterpart in panic. He remembers the information's about Cale Henituse's from the past. A troublemaker and a drunkard. A typical spoiled noble brat. 

Alberu sighs inside his mind. He doesn't know what this lady might want. However, depending on the information's about the Cale in their world, it's obvious that she will ask for something grand. A power, a position, or even a land will be useless if she asks for that as she will just return back to her original world. That is why it is hard to read the young lady's mind, if it's something that can benefit her when she returns then...

The king's train of thoughts was cut off by Kim when he suddenly said something the king did not expect.

"A deal." Kim says while using the smile that will make Raon jump around and ask if he's going to scam someone.

"...A deal?" A surprise look was evident on the king's face after hearing those words. But he immediately managed to fix his expressions.

"Yes. I want to offer a deal with His Majesty." Kim nods and adds. "And that is by every information's I give I get something in retu—" 

Boom. Boom. 

Kim's enthusiastic explanation was suddenly cut off when there was a huge explosion inside the orb. 

-Wyve-wyverns!

Shouted inside the orb. Inside the orb became even more chaotic than it already was.

Alberu then clenches his fist when he sees the wyverns appearing. There is rage in his eyes as he gazes at those giant creatures. 

"Prepare the catapults." Alberu orders and watches the other side of the orb, battles against the enemy soldiers. The mages fired at the wyverns, aiming to destroy them.

Kim observes all this blankly. There was a hidden annoyance inside him when he got interrupted in getting his possible lout in this world. He clicks his tongue and glares at the flying wyverns inside the orb. Suddenly, he smirks and thinks of a certain snake bastard.
