Ch 41 – Incident in the Past
All the captains were disgusted to learn that the former captain of the Purple Orcas had engaged in many dirty works aside from selling out the mages that maintained the protective spells around the capital.
The crime list was so long that Alex had the urge to dismantle the guy right there, making him utterly disgusted.
Finally, Julius took a deep breath and decided to hide it from the citizens so their trust would not be broken and he also ordered the magic knight captains to investigate from their end too.
Everyone dispersed one by one until only Yami and Alex were left.
Julius invited both of them to his office for a one-on-one chat. He then talked about magic stones and how Fuegoleon was targeted because he had one in his possession. Not only that but he also talked about the location of one of the magic stones in question.
The Underwater Temple!
He gave the mission of retrieving that magic stone to Black Bulls and also pointed out that it would be an extremely difficult task.
But Yami being Yami, for a rare moment showed an extremely serious expression and claimed that he would complete this mission and prove that Julius was never wrong in his decisions.
After the discussion was over, Yami and Alex walked out of the Magic headquarters only to be stopped by Sol Marron of the Blue Rose Squad.
"Hey, you're Alex, right? Come with me, Charlotte, err... I mean my Captain wants to talk something important with you."
Yami blinked his eyes twice and asked. "Hey kid, did you do something to piss off her?"
Alex looked at him and gave a blank expression, spreading his arms. "I've no idea just like you."
"Anyway kid, be sure to come back alive, okay?" Yami patted his back and disappeared as quickly as he could, causing Alex's facial muscles to twitch. He looked at Sol and sighed.
"Lead the way."
Sol shrugged his shoulder and walked ahead with Alex following her behind.
"Hey kid, what is so special about you?"
'He is a little more good-looking than others but he is still a man. At least he does not smell like those muscle brains and I feel relaxed near him.'
"What do you mean? And stop calling me, kid. I have a name." Alex grumbled in annoyance.
"Ah, just follow me. Men are so annoying." Sol complained.
Alex's facial muscles twitched and a tick mark appeared on his forehead. He stepped forward and slapped her butt in the middle of the street.
*Slap*
"You must have something stuck in your ass, let me help you, you annoying bitch!"
"Aah!" Sol jumped up in surprise as she quickly covered her rear. Glaring at Alex, an extremely fierce expression appeared on her face.
"You bastard! I'll kill you. All men should die!"
Sol waved her hand and summoned her grimoire.
Alex grabbed the hilt of his sword and shouted. "Do you think I'm scared of you? Believe it or not, I'll teach you a good lesson in front of everyone."
"You!..." Sol glared at Alex, wanting to beat the hell out of him. But then she suddenly remembered the instructions of her captain.
Before she came here to bring Alex to Charlotte, the latter had specifically advised her to not piss him off.
'Hmph! I will deal with him later. First, it is necessary to bring him back...'
Sol took a deep breath and humphed coldly before walking away.
Alex was annoyed but he could only follow her.
Soon, they arrived in front of a luxurious building that was decorated with various items. The symbol of the Blue Rose squad was hanging at the top, a complete contrast to the Black Bull base which looked like someone had just weirdly assembled blocks.
Sol guided him into the base up to a large office.
When they entered, they saw Charlotte Roselei sitting behind a desk, looking at some papers in her hand.
"I brought him, Char. But he is an idiot." Sol spoke enthusiastically.
Charlotte put down the paper in her hands and raised her head to look at them.
"Good job, Sol. And call me Captain!"
"Hehe..." Sol just stuck out her tongue at her remark.
Charlotte shook her head with a sigh before turning her attention to Alex.
"Asta, come and sit down here." She walked over to a pair of sofas and signaled him to take a seat.
Alex stared at her face and walked over, taking a seat opposite her.
Charlotte waved her hand and addressed Sol. "Leave us alone. There is something private that I want to discuss with him."
"Come on, Char. I already know just ask him." Sol said quickly, staring at her leader.
Charlotte had a slightly embarrassed expression as she took a glance at Alex's face. Her mind drifted back to the past when she was young.
Charlotte was born into House Roselei.[5] As a child, she is cursed so that on her eighteenth birthday, she and her family will be trapped in a cage of time, unless her heart is stolen by a man. Charlotte resolves to become strong enough to break the curse herself and later joins the Blue Rose squad. However, she failed to break the curse in time and surrendered to the overflowing magic.
While she was surrounded by those briars, her entire life flashed in front of her eyes and she monologued at how weak she was.
Just as she was ready to accept her fate, an explosion occurred close to her and a figure appeared in her view.
Someone slammed through her briars and landed on top of her. Because of the sudden events, their lips accidently touched which jolted her awake as she stared at that person.
He was a young man with red ruby eyes wearing a mask on his face. She was unable to see his facial features and before she could react, the young man stood up and asked.
"Hey sister, are you alright?" Glancing outside, he grumbled. "That bastard. What if it has harmed you? I'll teach him a lesson for you one day."
"Anyway, let me help you first." The young man grabbed his sword and cut all the briars with ease, carrying her to the ground.
"See you around, sister." The young boy smiled and turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
Charlotte broke out of her daze, watching him leave, and shouted.
"Hmm, what happened? Are you in pain?"
"What's your name?" Charlotte tried to stand up and ask with a desperate expression.
The young boy stared at her for a moment and smiled. "My name, hehe... it's..."
Charlotte was surprised as she listened to him. And just as he finished, he jumped out, leaving her alone.
