I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 137: Attempted Escape

[Eldion Empire Capital]

Days have passed since that incident that happened within the castle, the perpetrator Kaido lost all prestige and reputation from the empire and all the kingdoms in the human continent, for that reason he was branded by the empire as a wanted criminal on the run

This the Empire sent spies to other countries to search for Kaido's whereabouts

During the passing days guild master Barton have vanished without a trace, not even his staff not the frequent Adventurers knows it's whereabouts that caused distress to the populace

Ever since that day when the hero suddenly got stronger and changed for no apparent reason, the King Emperor disbanded the hero's party for he deemed it unecessary for the current hero, this I'm turn greatly surprised the hero's party that they even insisted on acquiring the reason of disbanding the legendary party, but in the end the empire shut them out as they shove them away

Many things changed after that, not only did the empire change, even the hero and the Empire's officials changed in which non can comprehend

To discuss about this Lily sent messages towards the former hero's party members to gather inside a pub and discuss about the matter at hand

With Lily wearing a hooded cloak that was enchanted with hidden or identity cloaking magic, she proceeded towards the discussion, the first one to talk however was alda who somehow chugged a glass of beer as he was really frustrated

"Gah!... . . I still can't believe we got disbanded that easily... . . I mean what did we ever did wrong?" He pointed out

"We never did any... . . We were just deemed unecessary, the hero is getting stronger as the day passes before this but now... . . He's already like I'm a different realm... . . Even Kaido who once defeated him never stood a chance since he's changed" replied Luke as he look disheartened

"But still... . ."

As both girls listened to Alda's ranting Mia asked Lily about something that got the boys attention

"What about you Lily? Are you okay?... . . Have you somehow inquired with your father?" Asked Mia as she puts a hand on her cheek to support its head

In reply Lily simply shook her head

"I haven't... . . Or to put it I can't... . . He shut me out and locked me up on my room like some precious princess... . . That's the reason why I'm in this cloak talking to you guys" she answered

Hearing that Alda raises an eyebrow

"Lock you up? Then how come your here? Aren't there any guards inside the castle?"

"True... . . But for some reason the door in my room is always unlocked and the guards that were supposed to usually guard some places were not there, heck I didn't even see any knights along the way outside the castle gate... . . It is as if someone is helping me" she replied

At that they were all surprised

"Looks like someone sympathize you" commented Alda

"Still what are we gonna do now?" Asks Luke in worry

At that the whole place around their table became silent as they pondered some answer when suddenly...

"I want answers... . . And I can't get them from my father, nor can I trust the Empire's officials, and especially the somehow unknown Hibiki that had completely changed its attitude towards the party whom he once cherished like a family... . . This left me no choice but to choose my last option"

At that mention the others became shocked as they realized what she's about to say, the first one to react was Mia as she washer only female friend
