Chapter XVII
At this time, in a mansion on the outskirts of Carter City, Keg, who had failed in his mission, was kneeling in front of an old man in a black dress, the old man was dressed in a gorgeous costume, his face was majestic, and his expression was cold, giving people a feeling of not being angry and dangerous.
"I'm sorry Lord Alfre, our mission failed, that girl is protected by the masters of the East Academy, and we are afraid of attracting more masters, so we have stopped. Keg looked at the old man in the black dress and said in horror.
"Waste! I can't even do such a trivial thing as letting you catch a little girl, Her Highness likes that girl very much, and capturing that girl can also mess up the qualifying finals of Easter Academy, thus damaging the prestige of Easter Academy, and let some cowards in the Empire see that Easter Academy is not so terrible, so they join us, and now you have messed it up. Alfree looked at Keg and said coldly.
"I'm sorry Lord Alfre, I have delayed His Highness's important affairs, and my subordinates are to blame. Keg lowered his head and said in fear.
You should be grateful that Your Highness is the right time to employ people, otherwise if you fail this mission, there will be no place for you in the Easter Empire. Alfree looked at Keg and snorted.
"Thank you, Your Highness, and Lord Alfre. Keg looked at the old man in the black dress and said gratefully.
"But although the death penalty can be avoided, you still need a chance to make amends, Your Highness asked me to give you a new mission, if you fail again this time, you don't have to come back. Alfree looked at Keg and said lightly.
"Yes, but I don't know what task His Highness has given me. Keg asked, looking at the old man in the black dress.
"Your Highness has asked you to go to the fourth floor of the Cartel Prison to get someone out. Alfree looked at Keg and said lightly.
"Save someone? Could it be that His Highness is going to save that person? Keg suddenly thought of something and said in horror.
"Yes, now is the time for His Highness to employ someone, and it is time to release that person. Alfree looked at Keg and said lightly.
"But that person is bloodthirsty and arrogant and not easy to control, and Cartel City is the territory of the Sword Emperor Reiner, one of the twelve apostles of the Temple, and that person was also captured by the Sword Emperor Reiner himself, if Reiner knows about it, will it anger him. Keg asked tentatively, looking at Alfre.
"You don't have to worry about how Your Highness controls that person, as for the Sword Emperor Reiner, sooner or later he will find out that the person was released by us, but at that time, His Highness has already controlled the empire and the academy, and Reiner has to think carefully even if he wants to turn his face. It's just that we can't let Reiner know that we released the people just yet. Alfret looked into the distance and said lightly.
"The subordinate understood. Keg hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"Got it, go ahead, and remember that you can't fail again this time. Alveret stared into the distance and said lightly.
"Yes! Keg bowed his head.
The next day, Asher wakes up early in the morning to find Betsy and her partner practicing in the living room, while Chloe, Vermeo, and Luna are sitting on the couch next to them enjoying their music, and only Ellie is still asleep.
"You guys are really hard, get up early in the morning and practice. Asher stretched and said lazily.
"Our concert for the finals of the academy qualifying is about to start, of course we have to hurry up and practice, do you think we are you, doing nothing all day, and skipping classes every day. Betsy looked at the lazy Ashur and said politely.
"It's rare to be idle in life, by the way, Fomeo, you don't have to practice, what do you do so early. Chloe understands music to listen to, but you don't understand. Asher looked at Fomeo and wondered.
"Who said I don't understand music, I just can't sing, and it's not that I don't understand appreciation. Vermeo retorted.
"Besides, it's almost noon now, what's early, I'm afraid it's only you and Ellie who are still sleeping in bed at this o'clock. Vermeo looked at Asher and said helplessly.
"Forget it, Becky, do you have milk at home, and I woke up a little thirsty. Asher asked, looking at Betsy.
"You're really welcome, there should be one in the cellar, you can go get it yourself, but I haven't been back for a long time, I don't know if it's expired." Betsy looked at the sheet music in her hand and didn't reply.
"Is it in the cellar, I'll take a look. Asher said as he walked to the cellar.
Asher came to the cellar room, and sure enough, he found several cans of milk on the ground, and immediately said happily: "Found it"
"What's the matter? It's not expired, if it hasn't expired, bring me a can. Vermeo shouted lazily leaning back on the couch.
"Well, it's exactly one day overdue, but it doesn't matter if this kind of thing expires for two or three days, why do you want it or not," Asher said, "Knock Knock" and drank it all.
"Forget it, I still don't want it. You dare to drink it after it expires. Vermeo suddenly refused.
"Anyway, what's the matter if it's only overdue for one day. Asher looked at the milk in his hand and said indifferently.
While everyone was chatting in the living room, Elle also woke up, "You guys got up so early" Elle rubbed her eyes and said lazily.
"You're the same guy as Asher, you're too lazy. Vermeo looked at Elle and shook her head, helplessly.
"I'm different from that guy from Ashur, I'm a normal sleep time, I only slept at 12 o'clock last night, and now it's 10 o'clock, exactly 10 hours. Ellie retorted.
"10 hours is a child's sleep. Vermeo looked at Elle and complained.
"Okay, don't make a fuss, since Elle is up, let's go to the academy and report this matter first. Chloe looked at the noisy crowd as soon as they woke up.
"Okay, I'll go wash my face first and go out with you. Elle said as she ran to the bathroom.
After Elle finished washing, the group walked towards the academy. Everyone walked on the road, frequently attracting attention, after all, whether it was the members of the Guild of Chloe, the members of the Vermeo Guild, or Betsy and her companions, it was difficult for the combination of so many beauties and a man not to be eye-catching, and of course Asher was full of jealous eyes.
Just as a few people were about to walk to the academy. "Well, my stomach hurts, no, I'm going to the bathroom, you guys go first, you don't have to wait for me." Asher suddenly sweated on his forehead, clutching his stomach and saying in pain. Before he could finish speaking, he ran into the distance.
"What's wrong with this guy, why does it suddenly have a stomachache?" said Elle as she looked at Ashur who was running around with her stomach in her hands.
"Well, because this guy just drank expired milk. Vermeo explained as he looked at Elle.
"Didn't you confirm it?" Elle wondered as she looked at Asher in the distance.
"Confirmed, he said that this kind of thing is not a big deal if it expires for two or three days, but luckily I didn't believe his nonsense just now. Vermeo explained as he looked at Elle.
Ellie: "......"
