Beyond The World Plan

"Nghhh..."

I slowly open my eyes and see a familiar ceiling above me. My head feel dizzy and all of my body feel numb. I slowly regained my conciousness back and my memory about what happen before I passed out gradually become clear. I watch my surrounding and found that Selia and Ann in my room. Both of them are maid that work in this castle. Seems like they are look after me when I unconcious

"Asahi-sama you are finally awake! Ann, inform this to his majesty!" (Selia)

"Yes!" (Ann)

Ann hurriedly run outside to inform King Eric about my condition, leaving me and Selia alone in this room.

"Asahi-sama, how are you feeling?" (Selia)

She holds my hand carefully when asking my condition. I try to move my hand but it's hardly move. Looking at this fact I can only pitying myself.

"Not so well. How long I asleep?"

"Three days, Asahi-sama." (Selia)

Three days, huh? It's quicker than I thought. Normal people maybe will be remain unconcious for another month when their HP nearly reach zero. I am lucky that the fire went out first before I lost my life.

The door opens and the King of Terrascape went into my room to check my condition with one of his trusted knight, Roland the 'Gold Lion'. He is the king's little brother so he has sam face built like him. He has blonde hair and beard. He has a scar on his left cheek. He is one of 'Crimson Knight', a group of five most powerful knights in this kingdom.

"Greeting, your majesty." (Selia & Asahi)

"How is your condition?" (Eric)

"My body still hard to move, I am sorry for letting you see my pathetic condition."

"You have no need to worry about that. I understand your condition well. You trying someone who abducting my daughter so I give you my gratitude even though you did not manage to stop them. I wondering what happen that night until the soldiers found you nearly dead on the street, can you explain it to me? I am sorry for asking you this but I can't help my curiousness." (Eric)

Hearing that reminds me about my plan that ended up failing. Even though I failed to capture the princess but I can use this chance to make them a criminal who abducting the princess of this kingdom. Even if they manage to find a hideout but their movement will be limited because they are the most wanted people in this kingdom.

"I understand."

I began to tell my story.

"That night, I woke up because I hear something from my room. When I look outside, there are many maids fell unconcious on the floor. After that, I tried to found who made those maids unconcious using [Detection] magic and found someone heading to the princess' room."

With nod, the king give me a sign to continue my story.

"I hurriedly chase it and found the door locked with magic. I have no choice except to broke it. When I go inside, the princess struggling from being held by Lily. I wanted to fight her but she use the princess as body shield. I worry if I fought her, the princess would be hurt. She pushed me down using wind magic easily and broke the wall to escape. My body still hurt so I called soldiers to chase her. After I recover a bit, I also following them..."

The story goes on until the point I lost my conciousness. Everyone in this room listening to my story carefully.

"A blue fire? I thought it just a myth, to think someone really can use it." (Roland)

"I see.... You lost to Ray because of that fire." (Eric)

"Yeah, the fire temperature was too heat so my body couldn't stand against it."

He silent for a moment before he decides to left the room.

"I am sorry but I must leave now. I hope you can get well soon." (Eric)

"I hope so."

He left the room with Roland leaving me who can't contain a victory smile on my face. Their movement will be limited and they have no place to show their face in this kingdom. Sooner or later we will meet again as they became a villain and I will be the hero who save the princess.

***

I am back to my room with Roland and laid my back on the chair. Roland closed the door for me before he standing near me.

"So, what do you think brother?"

I rest my body and let my mind thinking about this accident. I ask my brother's opinion about this matter since I need another point of view regarding this matter. His opinion will be a base for what will I do after this.

"His story is different with what Elizabeth told to us couple days ago. In her story, Hero Asahi already inside your daughter room. Also, I can say that there is something off in his story. However, regarding his position as a hero, there is no benefit even if made up the story. The fact that Violet being kidnapped by her own trusted person couldn't be change. But, in matter with who story I trusted most, it's obvious that the answer is her story." (Roland)

"Why are you trusting her so much? She may be the one who lying here."

"She will not telling a lie with what happen in front of her eyes. I know that she is someone who put honesty and justice above anything else. She even will kill you if you trying to do something evil." (Roland)

I nod my head repeatedly accepting what he think in my head. I also try to recalling about what happen before my daughter kidnapped by Ray.

Three days ago after the dinner, my daughter, Violet suddenly came to this room and wanted to discuss something with me.

*Knock knock* "Father, I want to talk with you." (Violet)

Normally, I will be in my room around that time but I need finish my paperwork early before the party so I do not need to rush when the party end. Hearing my daughter knocking the door, I can't opened the door for her so I just gave her a permission to went in.

"Sorry for disrupting your work father, but I have something that I need to discuss with you privately." (Violet)

"Do not worry about that, what kind of father who does not want to listening his daughter. You can sit down and talk, I have put a soundproof magic so no one will know our conversation."

"Thank you for your concern." (Violet)

"Don't act too formal with me when no one around except us. We are father and daughter so you do not need to mind about formality."

She sat down on the chair in front of me.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"It's about the hero we summoned from another world, I think you should rise the awareness toward him." (Violet)

"Why are you thinking like that?"

She let out her breath and prepared herself to continue.

"First, does father know about his special skill?" (Violet)

"Of course, he has a special skill that help him to learn any skill faster than a normal person in this world. With this, his goal to kill the demon lord will be easier."

"Only that?" (Violet)

"Yeah."

Shaking her head left and right, she put her hands on the desk and leaned her body forward.

"Does father know that he has one more special skill can endanger your position?" (Violet)

"What do you mean?"

"Like I said, with this other skill he can easily take over this kingdom in his hand." (Violet)

What she talking about picked my interest. The hero hiding one trump card under his sleeve without me knowing it. I also put my hands on the desk and leaned my body forward.

"What is that skill?"

"[Charm]." (Violet)

"[Charm]? Doesn't it a skill that will attract the opposite s.e.x like him? There are many peoples who has this skill too. Moreover, this skill only has a very small chance to success though. Why are you say that this skill is dangerous for this kingdom."

I hold my laugh inside my heart and put a poker face. But, looking from her expression I know that she is being serious and not show a hint of joking.

"Yeah that's right. However, his [Charm] is different from the one we know since it was given by the Gods. The power far stronger than the normal one. It will be impossible for me to resist it if I not train my mental strength." (Violet)

"How did you know that?"

"He try to casted it on me once but I still can resist it. From what I felt, it clearly very strong and thanks to that I know that what Ray said is true." (Violet)

My brow furrow in my curiousness. What she means by 'what Ray said'?

"Did he tell you something before you reach here?"

Her head nodded sign that it is true.

"He told me about this skill night before we arrive. He said that it could make any people fell for it if their mental strength not strong enough. He also said that maybe this skill is not limited on female since it is the power of 'Gods' of this world. Because of that I come here also to give a warning to father." (Violet)

"How can he know that much?"

"He heard it from the spirits." (Violet)

"Hear it from the spirits?"

Once again she nodded.

"Not only that, he also can see and interact with them. Moreover, he never told a lie so his word could be trusted." (Violet)

My interest to him raised once again. He can listen to the spirit voices that mean he has a very good term with them. He really not a simple guy. He become my daughter guardian and teacher when she in academy despite his age that younger than my daughter. He also an A-Rank adventurer that mean he already killed many strong monsters to reach that title. Who knows how many secret that he has under his appearance.

"I understand the situation now but, you not come here for only said that, right?"

Her eyes full of worries since she started to talking again.

"Yeah. I am afraid that maybe we will not able to meet again for a long time after this day. The hero right now planning to make me under his control so I just want to let you know about this in advance so father will not make any wrong decision regarding this matter. If he come to me tonight then I just want to say that I probably will be run away from this kingdom and will be adventuring with Lily and the others." (Violet)

She stand up from the chair and open the door of this room.

"Good night, father." (Violet)

She closed the door and her footstep move away from here.

"ther.... Brother!" (Roland)

"Yeah, what is it?"

My brother pull me back to the reality. His face looks worry about me.

"What's wrong? Why were you spacing out earlier?" (Roland)

"There is nothing. Now I want you to immediately put them in wanted list and spread it over the kingdom."

"Yes, your majesty." (Roland)

He immediately reach the door and open it. When Roland about to leave, I stop him and give one more order.

"I want you to deliver these letters to Roxanne Kingdom and Efra Kingdom."

"Doesn't those two the representative kingdom of Elf and Beastkin Country. Why are you suddenly contact them?" (Roland)

"You just need to deliver it and ask them if you curious with the content. It will be up to them to tell it to you or not."
