Chapter 81: Meeting with Alice
"Is he being exorcised then?" Nervous chuckle escaped Rae\'s mouth, he was somewhat familiar with the concept of possession.
\'What a scary situation.\' he thought
"Not really, who would dare to do that to the king." Alice looked at him as if he had asked a really stupid question.
"It\'s more likely for people to wait for his death than to try and turn him back to the previous version."
She sighed as she answered his spontaneous question. Even though the kingdom was in the hands of the king, there were many contenders for the said position.
There was no chance that people would let him be treated and recover.
\'They would want the king to make more stupid decisions as to quickly overtake the throne from him.\' Rae quickly made an analysis.
...
"After all this time and years, why choose me? I was planning to bury my name."
Rae asked confused.
He had no connection with whatever shit that was happening in the kingdom. Why did Alice suddenly decide to find him out and drag him into these issues?
"That\'s what you thought, I am not choosing you for the mission." Alice answered
"I am inviting a strong and young warrior with mysterious background to the royal academy. I am your sponsor, your backer, whatever you would like to call me."
She was not inviting the former noble Terias, she had wanted to make use of his new identity Rae to introduce him.
"Is the individual that i have to help is a student of the academy?" Rae asked her, otherwise there was no need for him to attend the academy. He was most likely in top five of them in order of strength, strong enough to be a teacher.
"Not a student but one of the faculty members of the academy." Alice made a correction to his guess.
...
"She\'s the cousin of the current queen, the spell department is being headed by her." Alice finally revealed to him with a calm expression." Alice revealed the details.
"And no, you are not required to help her. You are supposed to verify the possible threats around her and notify that to a special division there." She further added.
Rae was not supposed to be her bodyguard in disguise, his role was to be a spy among the students which would help queen\'s forces.
"That means I am supposed to spy on her." Rae assumed with a deadpan expression.
"More or less, that\'s the conclusion." Alice did not refute his assumption and agreed.
"But isn\'t the reward for that a bit too great? Getting a wish token just for spying is a little sus..." He thought that he had to make use of his strength and complete a major elimination of the bad guys for the queen.
But the situation had devolved into the matter of finding the possible criminals. The reward was too great for such a simple mission.
"I think you are forgetting a few things, unlike before you are not a noble anymore. But working for me or for the queen still means you are a part of her faction, that\'s the price for your role." Alice explained to him about the reason for the amazing reward.
Rae had a new identity which was not a noble but a commoner of a country side. Even though he had great strength equal to the warriors of highest level, it won\'t matter.
Under the king, he was a commoner and had to join a noble to advance his ranks and gain support from a faction. Once he accepts a task from the noble, he would naturally become a part of their group.
Otherwise, he would be squashed by the combined strength of every factions, if he were to remain free of the factions in these troubling times.
...
The reward was too great because the mission to be completed had many restrictions, also the potential of the individual completing the mission was worth it.
"Right.. I understand." Rae replied to Alice while he looked out of the window.
"Is that your child?" He asked, there was a young kid who appeared to be ten years old. The kid was training with a sword in the garden.
"No, did you forget Serena and the Earl had a child?" Alice answered his curiousity about the kid\'s identity.
"Do you want to have a child then?" Rae asked as he looked intensely at her curvaceous body. She was sitting with her legs crossed which showed her meaty thighs.
\'She had grown thick at the right place. Those thighs are pure temptations.\' Rae thought as he checked out Alice\'s body.
"Probably if you complete this mission successfully." Alice replied with a smile as she ignored Rae\'s attempt to flirt.
"Woahh, you have changed a lot." The Alice he remembered was always ready for some quick fun. He did not expect to be rejected this harshly from her.
Though it did not affect his confidence in himself. He was already quite spent from the time with Maria. Right now, he only wished to reach out to the academy.
"Look who talking, the man who has changed his skin and has become unrecognisable says \'you have changed\'." Alice retorted to his taunt, refering to the mysterious change in his appearance.
Both of them maintained their silence and did not spill the reason behind their changes.
...
"These are the small details you should look into, as for the admission to the academy? You will be escorted to the academy by our official carriage by tomorrow." She pointed at the files on the table.
The files had key information about the missions and the precautions he should be taking during that.
"And yes, you have to meet Serena before leaving for the academy. So, don\'t try to reveal your identity in anyway that might affect your mission." Alice warned him before leaving.
Serena was the official head of the family, even if Alice was the direct backer of Rae, he was still required to greet Serena before leaving for the academy.
After all, Alice had her big business but it was being backed by the noble title of Earl, and the title belonged to Serena.
Rae nodded as he saw Alice walk out of the room as she seductively jiggled her soft ass.
He licked his lips, reminiscing the time he had spent locked together with Alice.
