Chapter 121
With Juri's refusal, a huge silence took over the place.
The Crown Prince, Half-Orc, looked with a serious look at Juri and asked. - "May I know the reason for the refusal?"
"Hummm..." - Juri scratched his chin, analyzing him from top to bottom.
A tall man with light green skin, beautiful, glassy amber eyes, sides of his head shaved and a short hair, but not that short, which is quite charming.
He also has an [X] scar on his forehead, which greatly accentuates his charm, he doesn't have an explosively muscular body like the Orcs he has seen so far, perhaps because he is half-Orc, he is quite athletic.
Of course, he is not devoid of muscles, nor does he look like those guys with defined physiques but no mass.
"You're just my type, handsome and you have a body that... wow! I would even throw myself into your arms with that look of yours full of authority, but man, I can break you without even touching you, just like you are a prince, I do not wish to get involved with politics, too much headache!" - Said Juri after her analysis.
Her words shocking everyone, she started by praising him to say that he is weak and her reason for refusing him is because he is a prince!
The prince frowned, before suddenly bursting into laughter.
Juri was slightly surprised, but only smiled.
"I didn't expect that I would be turned down for being a Prince!" - He said laughing and wiping a tear in his eye.
"It happens!" - Said Juri shrugging.
"Juri Han, right?" - He asks, Juri nods. - "I am Prince Fjorn Virynd, would you be interested in being invited to the banquet that will take place tonight?"
"No, I have to meet someone!" - Juri says, another refusal.
"Wow... turned down 2 times in the same day..." - Fjorn smiled bitterly, Juri shrugging.
"Knight, don't make any more trouble with this Adventurer!" - Said Fjorn looking at the knight on his knees.
"But Prince, she attacked the young Marquis!" - Shouted the knight indignantly.
"And you expect to do what? She stopped his blow with one hand, even my grandfather would not act so arrogant in front of an Aura Blade, take a good look at who you make enemies with, the Kingdom will not protect a Marquis Family for pissing off a National Level power!" - Fjorn said seriously.
The knight shuddered, looking at Juri with some shock, he not being the only one.
Fjorn cast a slight glance at a certain gray haired dwarf, obviously she used a Magic to give him valuable information.
Soon he looked back at Juri. - "Well, I hope we can meet again, in fact, come to the palace tomorrow, I may have a mission that someone of your ability can do!"
"Hummm... it depends, will I face someone strong or will it be a waste of time?" - Juri asked curiously.
"You won't regret it, that I guarantee!" - Fjorn smiled and looked at the dwarf, where he went towards her and they both went up to the next floor.
Juri shrugged, looked at the mission in his hand, which is to investigate the appearance of a Manticora in the East of the Capital, if possible kill it!" - Juri is curious, as it is of Diamond difficulty and from what he learned, only those of Level 150~200 should be Diamond Level!
And not to mention that the mission recommends 2 Diamond Levels take it if they come up against Manticora.
But because it is an Investigation quest, the reward is low in case there is nothing, but in case there is a Manticora, the reward will be high for bringing information.
If you kill her, the reward will be even more gigantic, probably 20,000 Gold Coins or even more!
...
Night came, Juri went to an inn and rented a room for the night.
She talked to Luria for a while, about getting together to explore this continent, but Luria said she was attending a Tabletop RPG Session, she made some friends on Discord and was really enjoying playing.
Juri was sad, at least it's only a Spin-off, it will only be 2 sessions and that's it, the 2nd session takes place today.
Leaving her to enjoy herself, Juri lay down on the bed, which, although not as comfortable as her own, was still very good.
She closed her eyes to sleep.
...
About 4 hours later, being early in the morning, something was happening!
Juri was sleeping comfortably in her bed, when the window opened silently and a figure covered in black entered.
Its movements made no sound, its body exuded no magic.
The figure reached down and looked at Juri, then scanned the room very carefully, it seemed to be looking for something.
Soon its attention landed on the pile of Juri's clothes, along with his leather armor, bow at his side and his daggers.
The figure approached to take a look, but didn't find what he was looking for, then looked at Juri sleeping, his eyes landing on her hand, where he noticed some rings.
Soon the figure pulled something out of his robes, a kind of powder, which was slowly brought up to Juri's face.
Fuuu~
Suddenly Juri blew and the dust went into the hooded face of the figure that was gathering air.
This startled her and she quickly backed away, but Juri was quick and already grabbed her arm, pulling her tight, followed by her neck!
Its Chi shot up, the figure found itself unable to resist as it was forced to the ground, with Juri sitting on its belly.
"Really, that fucking Marquis sent an assassin?" - Said Juri mockingly, but noticed something... where are this assassin's weapons?
"Wait... are you a woman?" - Juri was surprised, but smiled when she noticed something.
[The Shadow Thief, Ikiria(Elite) - Level 103 / 57]
"Wait, you're not an assassin, but a thief?" - Said Juri laughing, Ikiria not saying anything.
"Não quer falar? Bem… veremos o que temos aqui por baixo!" - Disse Juri tirando o capuz e máscara de Ikiria.
She showed a very pretty face with light skin, even if the eye part is painted black.
She has a cold expression, her free fist tried to hit Juri, but when it hit her, it caused nothing!
Her punch hit Juri, but... Juri didn't seem to feel it, with her 7,000+ Constitution, absurd Physical Defense bonuses, the punch from a Thief who is certainly focused on Agility, is nothing for Juri to worry about.
Ikiria seeing this, frowned and finally opened her mouth. - "Do what you have to do!"
"Oh... you have a beautiful voice, tell me something, what is your goal?" - Juri asked smiling with his hand still on her neck.
"To steal from you!" - She said coldly.
"Okay, how did you choose me as a target? I think I demonstrated too much power today at the Guild!" - Said Juri smiling, she is curious.
"You are strong, it means you have strong items and all the rings on your fingers are surely Magic Accessories, maybe you have some Storage, since you walk around without any bags, I wanted to steal that! Not to mention that many Thieves and Bandits have received the information that you have at least 10,000 Gold Coins in your possession, since I haven't seen anything here and you haven't even passed a bank or merchant group, it means that you have stored your money somewhere!" - Said Ikiria who talked a lot, which surprised Juri.
"Hummm... I admit you are quite skilled, it took me a while to sense you, unfortunately you got too close, I have a kind of magical sense, anything that moves near me I will sense!" - Said Juri smiling, Ikiria didn't react.
"Ok... I wonder what I do with you? Do I turn you over to the authorities? You must have a good reward on your head for being so skilled!" - Juri said thoughtfully.
"Shadow Thief is what they call me, 2,000 Gold Coins is the reward for my capture!" - She said, which made Juri smile.
"So you wish to be captured, interesting!" - Juri smiled and thought for a moment.
"You understand that you cannot run away from me, even more so now that I have taken note of you, so would you rather try your luck with the Guards than with me?" - Juri asked and Ikiria didn't react.
"What if I decide to kill you?" - Asked Juri squeezing her neck, she shuddered slightly, but continued to stare at her, as if it didn't matter.
"I'm going to let you go, then sit on the bed and I want you to get on your knees, do some funny stuff and... I don't think you'll have a body to be buried!" - Said Juri smiling, Ikiria nodded.
