The Necromancer's Prince

Chapter 24

Type follows Techno eagerly and the boy stops in front of him again, looking back again with worried eyes.

"Ay 'No... You stop worrying. All I need is a small space for the night. I will sleep outside if that is what is needed. I honestly do not mind!"

"You promise, this won't affect our friendship." Techno worriedly nibbles his lower lips and Type gets it.

Being from a poor family has its disadvantages. An unwelcome guest would make their situation worse but...

Desperate times.

He being a necromancer in a wizard city has its drawback. His face had been plastered here multiple times and... necromancer army would be searching for him.

One wrong move and this would go south.

In the morning, he can take a ferry to the other island and then be on his way to home. Till then he needs to convince his best friend that his living conditions would not make him see any different.

"I am not that much of a judgemental asshole, Techno! I have slept on the floors plenty of times. Army man, remember?"

He has some coins with him and he would fetch some groceries for Techno's mom in the morning for all the troubles she has gone through for accommodating Type in such a short notice.

"Walk!" Type pulls Techno's arm as they go away and away from the Capital City. They take a de-route to the outskirts and the rich, greenery makes him smile.

"Type..."

"Not a word, 'No. It is your home, so it is my home too. Walk."

"Listen." Techno yanks him and Type stops with a sigh. "No matter what, you cannot break friendship with me. I am your best friend and I am not willing to let that go!"

Type rolls his eyes. "You are hardly my frien..." Techno stands on his tippytoes and give a tight smack on his cheek and Type rubs with a wince. "Yeah yeah... Best friends no matter what!"

Gods! He does not mind, even if it is a tent! He is not that stuck up.

Techno takes a final look at Type. "Do not make me regret this!"

He takes a pendant and presses it on a nearby tree.

"Confirm?" A voice asks.

"Fuck off! I am with my friend. Open!" Techno hisses and a portal is summoned where they stand.

Techno pulls him with him and...

"What in the Ba's ass?" Type mumbles. "That your house?!"

The monstrosity is... well... it is...

"Security fort." Techno sighs. "Follow me."

Oh, Type is following... with his mouth open...

"What in the..."

Techno is not saying a word as a security guard walks behind him babbling. "Madam's request Sir. He is a necromancer, Sir! It is..."

"You wanna keep your job, know when to shut up." Techno says presses some stones by the fort entrance. "Get in, Type."

Type stands next to Techno in a see through vessel and they are transported to...

"What in the..."

Did the Emperor Mew accidently swapped their abodes?

Now this is a palace!

Is that a gem on top of the... whatever this is called...

We cannot call it a palace right?
