Cheat Awakening
Chapter 53 - 53. Bazzam's decision

Myne after continuous use of double jump skills, and running from the top of the tree, somehow managed to escape the pursuit of the Orc King till he saw the main gate of Lucus Town.

Myne was never been so happy to see the gate of his town as he was today. Beside the gate with both gatekeepers, he also saw worried Aisha and that flat-chested girl who again covered her entire body in the cloak and was standing behind Aisha like a statue.

"So you guys manage to run away, huh? If I have not seen you here, I thought that you guys are still in the forest," Myne said to Aisha jokingly while walking toward her with his trademark smile, but because of his tattered clothes, which can hardly cover his neither region, Myne's smile looks everything but pleasuring.

Although Myne has quite a lot of clothes in his Inventory but because he didn't want to reveal his secrets to anyone, he didn't even dare to wear them, and if he did he have no excuse to explain where he got his clothes as Aisha and that flat-chested girl both saw that he doesn't have storage pouch with him, so he can only bite the bullet and walked in front of everyone in such embarrassing condition.

"Myne! Thank God, you are all right, I was so worried about you," Aisha after hearing Myne's voice immediately looked toward him and after confirming that it was indeed Myne who spoke, not her illusion, she hurriedly runs toward him and give him tight hug, and only after hugging him for a while did she come to her sense and spoke with concern-filled voice.

"Really? You don't look that worried when you abandoned me to fight with the Orc King without any hesitation," Myne said in a slow voice which only Aisha could hear while rolling his eyes.

"What are you talking about, it was clearly you who order me to run away, while saying that I am a fatty and run too slow, now how can you say that I abandoned you as I am just following your order," Aisha said innocently clearly didn't want to let Myne take her advantage.

Shit, I know that, I shouldn't have said that, a great chance to emotionally blackmail Aisha missed away, damn it, Myne thought angrily.

"What happened Myne? You look quite sad," Aisha asked while trying to hold back her giggle.

Nothing, I am just feeling a little sad, that while escaping the Orc King's pursuit, I lost your cloak somewhere," Myne said with a sigh.

"Ahh, don't worry about it, but if you still fill sad then just take me to the shopping," Aisha said while giving Myne a knowing wink.

Is this a date invitation? Yes, finally all my hard work paid off, now I can enjoy my beautiful Aisha's company one more time, and this time we have an entire day. There is also a chance that I can get a kiss from Aisha since she looked so impressed with me today, Myne thought happily while enjoying Aisha's big boobies on his naked chest.

While Myne daydreaming about his upcoming date, and his little brother slowly trying to wake up, beside the town gate, Sylphid, who just finished sending an emergency message to her father, suddenly looked at Aisha and Myne with a frown.

"They look pretty close, no wonder Aisha knows so many things about Myne, so they are in a relationship huh, it looks like things are going to become a little complicated."

"Cough! Aisha, if you finished your public show of love, then can we go to the guild? Don't forget we have to inform the guild leader what happened in the forest so he can take action as soon as possible, otherwise who knows if the Orc King suddenly attacks the town?" Sylphid said in a low voice which can only Aisha and Myne hear, with a poker face.

Hearing Sylphid's cold tone and not-so-nice words, Aisha Immediately distanced herself from Myne with a red face, Yee, Yes, let's go, we have to meet the guild leader, by the way, Myne, you should also come with us. You are the one who has the most contact with Orcs, your information can give us quite a lot of help," Aisha said with a serious face while trying to avoid Sylphid's eyes.

"Aisha, before talking at least look at other people's condition, from which angle do you think I have the mood to wander around in the town in those clothes? Do you want to make me a laughing stock in the entire town?

Although I don't have much respect in your eyes, but I still haven't had such bad days that I can auction my honor just like that, also don't forget that your respectful guild leader banned me from entering the guild, so you go and have fun.

I am just going to my home, I need to change my clothes as soon as possible, people already started watching with the wrong eyes," Myne said nervously while looking around with a fearful expression as some people are talking about him while continuously giving a peek at his little brother, which is clearly not a good thing, so after saying goodbye, he hurriedly runs into the town, before Aisha could speak anything.

"Princess, what should we do now?

Without the help of Myne, how will we know just how many Orcs are in the forest and where their settlement is?" Aisha asked concernedly although she haven't seen the Orc settlement herself, but she have heard about it many times that whether there is an Orc King, and an Orc priest present together, there was always an Orc settlement nearby, with populations of more than 50 elite Orcs, which for a small town like Lucus is enough to make it disappear from the map of Augusta Kingdom.

"Don't worry about it, I have already informed my father about the Orc Settlement, he is going to send reinforcements to deal with this crisis soon, we just have to hang on till help arrives. So don't think too much, and let go, we have to do a lot of things," Sylphid said dominantly.

"Okay, as you command, Princess, Aisha said helplessly while shaking her head, no one was ready to listen to her, sometimes she even felt like she is just a background character about whom no one really care.

"By the way, you seem quite close to that Myne, is there anything going on between you and Myne about which you forget to tell me before?" Sylphid asked with one eye closed.

"Huh? No...no what are you talking about, we are just close friends, yes, just close friends, hahaha," Aisha said awkwardly while trying to not look toward Sylphid.

"Close friends, huh? I see..." Sylphid said with a smile that doesn't look like a smile, but still, she didn't try to put her nose in other people's business.

...

The entire way Aisha and Sylphid didn't say anything, Sylphid because of her status, can't talk to anyone causally and had to maintain her image all the time, while Aisha because she didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble.

After entering the guild, Sylphid directly headed toward the Guild Leader's office and just when Aisha want to follow her, she wave her hand, and without looking at her, she spoke, "Aisha, you go and put down your weapon first, and do your work, I want to talk to the guild leader privately."

"Okay? Princess, as you wish then, see you later..." Aisha said but Sylphid already walk away leaving her in an awkward position.

"Tsk! What a rude brat, f*ck off you bitch who cares about you. Damn it, didn't even say thanks for all my effect, shameless, stingy, which f*cker made someone like her to a princess, can't even give rewards to people for their service," Aisha scolds Sylphid's entire family in a low voice which only she could hear while walking toward the locker room.

After which she put down her bow and arrows in their original place, they are obviously not her own, they are emergency weapons for the guild, which the guild always has in stock in case the guild staff needs someday, like today. When Aisha felt that she should also go with Sylphid to spy on her, she immediately took a bow and arrows with her instead of going out unarmed.

Then Aisha headed toward the canteen, took something to eat, and retune to her desk, with a lazy expression to take some rest.

While Aisha returns to her daily schedule, Sylphid also comes to the Guild Leader Bazzam Hanson's office. But before she could knock on the door, Mia who was dozing off beside the door, woke up from her movements, and while wiping the saliva from her mouth, she spoke, "Hey, hey, Stop there, where do you think you are going so fast? Tell me who are you and what you want."

After hearing Mia's arrogant voice, a frown appear on Sylphid's face, but she still spoke gently instant of being angry while revealing her identity and scaring the hell out of Mia.

"I want to meet the Guild Leader, I have a very important matter to discuss with him, so if you don't mind, then can you inform him that the girl whom he met today morning wants to meet him?"

"Okay, I inform him, you just wait here," Mia spoke with a displeasure mood but just when Mia was about to knock on the door, a hesitated expression appear on her face, but still after praying to some well know Gods for her own safety, she knocked on the door.

"What!"

An angry voice comes from the Guild Leader Bazzam's office, and after hearing it, Mia took a step back, but in order to not make her own joke in front of an outsider, Mia took a deep breath and opens a little bit of the door, only enough to pokes her small head inside the office, and while laughing awkwardly, she spoke, Guild Leader, The girl about whom you gave me instructions saying that if I see her I shall inform you immediately, now she wants to meet you, shall I send her in?

Huh? What girl? When did I give you such an order? Bazzam asked with a frown.

"Before you start scolding me nonstop because of what happened to your precious vase," Mia replies nervously.

"Girl, I asked to look after?...F*ck, Princess..."

Bang...

Bazzam after giving little pressure on his brain finally remembered that the girl about whom Mia talking is nonother than Princess Sylphid, and just when he was about to go out to meet her, he tripped and fell flat on the ground very embarrassingly in front of his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, are you all right?" Mia asked worriedly while trying to help her grandpa to stand up.

But her grandpa like a child, whose toy was broken by its' parents, quickly slapped away Mia's hand and stood up himself, "Don't touch me, also I am not your grandpa, I don't have a granddaughter like you," saying such just when Bazzam about rush out to meet Sylphid, he saw a small figure hiding in a cloak standing in front of him, watching their grandfather and granddaughter's drama.

If it was the first time then Bazzam might not recognize Sylphid but because he had already seen her before, so after seeing her again, he hurriedly walked towards her with a flattering smile on his face, "Princess, please forgive my assistant for her negligence, that she doesn't even recognize you, also why did you bother to come here, you would have called me? I immediately..."

"Are you done? If so, then stop your nonsense and listen to me, I have something very important to discuss with you," Sylphid said while removing her cloak, and after putting it on Bazzam's desk, she sat down on Bazzam's comfortable and luxurious chair, of course only in Bazzam eyes, for Sylphid, this is just a common chair.

While Sylphid making herself comfortable in Bazzam's chair, Mia who saw Sylphid for the first time in her life also comes out from her shocked, she never expected that the girl whom she talking with very rudely just a moment ago turns out to be Princess Knight Sylphid.

She won't punish me for such a little mistake like talking rudely, right? Mia thought nervously and after confirming that Sylphid has completely ignored her, did she take a breath of relief.

"As you wish, Princess, but Princess, please give me a minute, I bring a nice drink for you since you just retune from a long journey, you must be very tired," Bazzam said sincerely, completely abandoning his identity and honor of a guild leader and become Sylphid's butler and Sylphid, also felt like she is little thirsty so she just nodded her head without saying anything.

After receiving Sylphid's approval, Bazzam gives Mia a warning full glance, indicating to her to not mess around, and hurriedly walk toward his painting on the right side of the wall. Then he took the picture down and quickly open the safe behind it, with a golden key, that he is carrying around his neck.

In Bazzam's secret safe, there wasn't much thing, around 50 or so platinum coins, an adult hand size cow's golden statue, 3 gold color wine bottles, 10 random colors crystal like stones, and some documents.

After seeing Bazzam's puny wealth, Sylphid, who has a little bit of expectation, loses her interest, but the opposite her, Mia, after seeing her grandpa's secret safe felt like she was hit by lightning. Because till now her grandma and she always thought that they know everything about Bazzam, even about his wealth but today after seeing so much money in his safe, she was stunned.

No, I have to tell you about this to Grandma, this matter is related to the rise of my pocket money, if I manage to manipulate Grandma even a little bit I defiantly get some share of this treasure, Mia thought silently while planning her next course of action.

Bazzam who knows nothing about his traitor granddaughter's plan, quickly picks up a bottle of golden wine and hurriedly closed the safe. Then he come to Sylphid's side, took out a new glass from his desk drawer, filled it with golden wine, and put the glass in front of Slyphid with a big smile.

"Princess, this is one of the most expansive and rarest wines of our kingdom, you might have heard about it, its name is 'Humblosun Golden Wine', this wine is super popular among the noble recently, and rich people are dying to buy it, but because it's all production is monopolized by a high level noble, who only sell fifty bottles a month, so there are not many supplies of this wine in the market.

Here give it a try, you defiantly like it, and believe me, I have to give a lot of things to my close friend before he decides to sell me those three bottles," Bazzam said proudly.

But Sylphid after hearing about the Humblosun Golden Wine, a frown appears on her beautiful face, because she never heard about it, and if this wine is really as popular as Bazzam describes, then it is really quite weird that she didn't know about it. Sylphid hesitantly smelled the wine but she only felt a lovely scent in her nose, then she through a little bit and took a small sip of wine.

As wine enter Sylphid's mouth and touch her tongue, for a moment Sylphid had an illusion that she was flying, she had never drunk something so good in her entire life, then Sylphid like a thirsty wanderer in the desert, quickly finish the entire glass of wine in the one gulp.

"Give me more," said Sylphid while rising the empty glasses toward Bazzam.

"Yes, yes, Princess, here, saying such, Bazzam refilled Sylphid's empty glass with a painful expression in his eyes, clearly, he didn't respect that the Princess, whom he considered a gentle and well behaved lady, turn out to be a big drinker.

Only after finishing the second glass of wine, did Sylphid come back to her sense, and realize what she is doing, she cough a little bit to hide her embarrassment and hurriedly change the topic.

"Do you know anything about the noble who is selling this wine?" Sylphid asked clearly interested in this new wine.

"Sorry, princess, I have to disappoint you but I don't know anything about him, because most of his work is done by his workers or his butler, and he never reveals his information in public," Bazzam said apologetically.

"Then when did he start selling this wine, and what is its price rate?" Sylphid asked while staring at the golden bottle in Bazzam's hand passionately clearly she wanted to drink more, but she can't just grab it from others' hands, she still has to remember her identity after all.

"Well, as far as I know, this wine come into the market 2 months ago, and its one battle price is 20 platinum coins, but because it is too hard to get, in the black market its price is more than 50 platinum coins," Bazzam said after thinking for a while.

"I see, by the way, how many A-Rank adventures are currently in your guild?" Sylphid asked.

"Huh? A Rank Adventurer? What are you talking about Princess, how can my guild have such strong people? I myself am only a B Rank Adventurer, how can I have the courage to order them and let them join my guild, and work for me?

Also, this is just a small town near the capital city, without any worth mentioning resources, we don't even have a single dungeon in this town, then why do powerful people with A-Rank strength come here?" Bazzam said with a helpless smile.

Just because of this reason he tried many times to transfer to other cities with dungeons under their control, but because he only has the power of a B Rank adventurer, he never gets approval from higher up, and so he has to spend most of his life in this small town, even though he has quite a high ambition at the start of his carrier, which later smokes up by the wind of reality.

"What! So you are saying that in this entire town, there is not a single A-Rank Adventurer?" Sylphid exclaimed while standing up from her chair.

"Amm, as far as I know, there are also 5 or so people with B Rank strength, and others are just normal people without any sufficient power, by the way, Princess who is that A-Rank adventurer you just mention," Bazzam asked embarrassingly while rubbing his hand back of his head.

Done, you guys are done for then, now take my advice and start praying that the Orc King doesn't come to your door before reinforcement from the capital city comes, otherwise, no one can save you," Sylphid said with a sigh completely ignore Bazzam question, and then first, she took out her storage pouch from her blouse pocket, put her hand in the storage pouch, and took out a handful of platinum coins, and put them on the desk, then she grabs the golden wine bottle from Bazzam and start walking toward the exit.

"Wait a minute, Princess, can you please tell me, what do means by the Orc King coming to my door, and about reinforcement, Bazzam hurriedly asked nervously, he even forget to look at the platinum coins on his desk, even Mia who start to end forget by everyone, held her breath, so she doesn't miss anything about which Sylphid going to say.

After hearing Bazzam's request, Sylphid thought for a moment and describe everything that happened in the forest.

"So, now you understand how critical your town's situation is, but don't worry if everything goes well, then you might not even see the Orc King's face, before some deal with him, but still, if your luck is really bad, then I can only pray for you, Sylphid said and after nodding her head toward dumbfounded Bazzam and Mia, she walks out from his office.

"Grandpa, what should we do now? Should I pack our things before the Orc King come to our gate?" Mia asked nervously.

"Shut up, you idiot, can't you see such a simple thing, since Princess herself is not a little bit nervous, and even dare to drink wine so causally then she defiantly has some backup plan ready, so we don't have to worry too much," Bazzam said angrily while showing his deep trust toward the royal family.

"Okay, Grandpa, then I am going back to my work," Mia said helplessly, and just when she was about to slip out from Bazzam's office, she heard his voice from behind, "By the way, since you insist so much then tell you, grandma to pack my favorite blanket and pillow as well, you know without them I can't fall asleep."

Huh? Don't he just a moment ago say that he believes in Princess and nothing bad going to happen, then why did he change his mind so soon? Mia thought but because her grandpa was already quite angry with her she dare not joke with him, and just nodded her head, and hurriedly left his office while leaving Bazzam alone in the room.

Who would have thought that the guy whom I just kick out from the guild to save some money, turn out to be hiding his strength so deeply, no wonder he didn't take my word seriously that time, and this also explains how Lyle and his father die so suddenly.

Sigh, seems like this time I mess up all the things but now it is not time to cry over spilled milk, I need to make a plan to deal with this situation.

By the way, it seems like Mia's grandma always wanted to see Sea, and I also have been fooling her till now while saying that when the time is right we would go on a long vacation, now since the town is under such a great danger, and a big enemy of mine, who is waiting to kill me in dark at any moment, so there's no better time to get away from all this mess.

Yes, this is the perfect plan, such a genius I am, hahaha, Bazzam laughs for a while and then he hurriedly writes a resignation letter, and after taking all valuable things from all the hidden safes in his office, he also left his office...
