The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 574: The Last Stop Before The Madness Begins (part 3)

"Sir, I will have you know that you have made yourself quite a lot of enemies… the spymaster knows that you are the one who got rid of all the previous agents keeping an eye on you – that leaves the question, what made me so special since you know about me and my disruption skill didn't actually have any effect on you?"

The copper-eyed woman then sighed and turned back to the blue undead knight and declared with a stiff voice as if he half expected to be beheaded on the spot.

"I don't know what you are talking about – I didn't kill any of your colleagues and I thought that I made that clear – if your spymaster was actually putting any work in his job instead of just jumping to the most obvious conclusions he would have known that there is someone who would love to see me in trouble and is the most obvious culprit – but, you know, that would require that whole spymaster to put in some work."

"…"

Zombie shrugged his shoulders shamelessly lying without even batting an eye, making Ti furrow her brows and straighten her back – she did have the lie detection skill – a new asset that she gained after years of trying to learn it – and it didn't activate…!

For her it really sounded like the blue undead was telling the truth – but, that was all thanks to the liar title that disrupted skills like that up to tier 2 ones.

"Wait – hold the fuck on now – so are you telling me that this beautiful lady was hanging out around the two of you this whole time while you were traveling? That's why she is here now?"

Lairs joined the conversation – but, funnily enough, the person she was staring at the most was not the copper-eyed Ti but the red-haired Cranberry.

Lairs was reminded of the girl's words about a certain girl who was interested in her and who was supposedly noticed by the blue undead earlier on their journey.

Despite sounding offended while she first heard about it and actually expecting it all to be a joke, that part got stuck in her mind theless…

"…yes… miss Lairs – that's roughly how it goes – I usually follow sir Zombie around – but whenever I lose his track I tend to stick with the people he hung around with."

Ti leaned back on her chair and declared – glancing at Lairs while making a composed expression.

"Ha! Must have been boring eight years for you, you know, when the queen had sealed me off and all."

Zombie smirked nuzzling up to Cranberry as she was just about finishing her meal.

"I wouldn't say so – with your location and activity well known and documented I was able to enjoy the time back with my friends while only occasionally checking up on the people from your surroundings…"

The copper-eyed woman revealed while very discreetly glancing back at Lairs.

"Oh, I see, I see – so you didn't stick with Lairs here because you wanted to have a chance to get closer to her?"

"PFFGBUGBUHHUBGUH…!"

The blue undead knight shrugged his shoulders and asked casually – but even though his words were calm they sure did cause quite the reaction from the green-haired elf who was just taking a sip of beer – but ended up actually shocking on it and spilling a whole lot on herself once her name was mentioned in such an obvious manner.

"…"

"MISS…!"

Zombie and Cranberry didn't even flinch but Ti on the other hand jumped over to the troubled elf so fast that she toppled the chair she was sitting on just to get to Lairs faster.

"Is everything fine?"

Ti pulled out another handkerchief and started helping out wiping the beer off of Lair's face and chest before she actually realized what she was doing.

"!!!"

"AH! No – wait that's not what I…!"

The copper-eyed woman unintentionally copped a feel and backed off immediately as her face was getting crimson red when…

"Good enough for a start – Zombie – I've rested enough – we can go, those two should work things out on their own from now on."

"!!!!"

"!!!!"

Cranberry put down the empty jug next to the emptied plate, looked up at the blue undead knight, and declared with satisfaction, causing both girls on the other side of the table to stare at her in shock.

"Alrigh~"

Zombie smirked and stood up together with his red-haired girl in a princess carry.

"Ti – don't bother to follow me – I'm going to the north to grab myself a pair of boots and then will be back for completing a quest – tell your spymaster that if I were him, I would look into the priestess of the church faith if he wants to find the new target for his anger – oh, and since you are the bodyguard of the queen…"

He added, looking down on Cranberry to make sure that it's okay to tell Ti all of that – but the red-haired girl didn't seem to mind at all, so he continued.

"…it would be best to check up on the king's behavior too – I've heard that he is quite a vengeful guy – and something might have already popped up that would stir his revenge…"

He added while turning around and walking out of the inn, leaving speechless Ti and Lairs behind.

"Haa… well… color me impressed – I thought that everyone would be dead before we leave, but here we are."

Cranberry smirked and commented on a different thing than Zombie expected her to.

"Well – aren't I full of surprises?"

The blue undead smirked mischievously fully aware that the spell he used will kill every patron from the inn except for Lairs within the next twenty-four hours.

"Now then… since you are ready…"

"…ready…"

Zombie smirked and said as his body shone with vibrant violet light, and Cranberry nodded her head, clinging to him close.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

The blue undead kicked off the ground causing a huge explosion that broke the road in front of the inn – and shattered more than just a few windows of the surrounding buildings – before disappearing towards the north where the phoenix's lair was located….
