Chapter 709: A New Day with New Customers(16)
After that encounter with the group, William understood the importance of having knowledge of a few other languages than his own.
It was impossible for him to learn every type of language uttered by all races. There were countless races in the Primal dimension, and they spoke even more languages.
So William decided to slowly learn a few languages belonging to the top races in the Primal dimension. Since his curiosity got piqued in the store, he learned the human language spoken by the inhabitants of the Bisan kingdom.
The language of humans wasn’t complicated since its sole motive was to communicate, so it only took a matter of few seconds for him to learn every word in the dictionary of the Bisan Kingdom’s citizens.
Using human language, William communicated with the store owner.
***
After Aakesh unraveled his secret of him only being a child, William grew flustered. He had run from his home. If somehow the store owner was able to communicate it with his family, the rewards he would get would even make greed in the heart of a high-level creature in the Sacred dimension.
“Let’s keep this secret between us,” William suddenly requested Aakesh.
If Clint were to find out about his actual age, even he would reveal his location to the Asquith family. Since the Sunlight Elves descended from the Sun Elves, a communication system was set between the two races.
Even though the Sun Elves didn’t care much for the situation of the Sunlight Elves, since it was still kind of a branch of the race, they acted whenever a circumstance of extinction of the Sunlight Elves emerged.
“I don’t care about your secret,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded. It was correct that the reward offered by the Asquith family would actually be great for even someone like him. But there was no present that was worth more than the ethics of the store, so even if members of the Asquith family were to arrive here, he wouldn’t tell them about William.
William heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Aakesh. His senses told him that there was no lie in Aakesh’s statement. Especially the indifference toward his title played a considerable role in William feeling trust in Aakesh’s words.
“Thank you! I owe you a favor. When I becom-“
William’s words suddenly came to a halt. It wasn’t Aakesh that interfered, but it was Williams’s own action.
William was going to promise Aakesh to help him when he became the head of the Asquith family, but then he remembered that he had given up on it. He didn’t feel any regret over his decision. It was just that it would take some time for him to forget that he wasn’t a prince anymore.
From the actions of William, Aakesh understood the situation of William. Aakesh didn’t know the reason behind William running from his family, but since he didn’t care for it, he didn’t waste his time thinking over it.
***
While William was freely living in the Primal dimension, a bloodbath was going on in the Sacred dimension.
“WHY ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE WHEN YOU CAN’T CONTROL A CHILD YOU GAVE BIRTH TO?” Andrew angrily shouted at his wife, Victoria, after finding out about the disappearance of William from his chambers.
Victoria’s face was ugly from getting shouted at by her husband. She wanted to retort, but she controlled herself. She had never seen Andrew as angry as today. She could feel that an extreme danger would fall on her if she dared to argue with him.
Victoria silently listened to all the curses thrown at her by Andrew without making any noise at all. She and Andrew’s other two sisters also silently stood there. Not even they dared to speak out in the current situation.
“Your majesty, we have found clues about the young master’s sudden disappearance!”
Suddenly a voice other than Andrew’s rang in the chambers as the disciplinary elder of the Asquith family announced while standing at the gate.
“It better be, or you would lose your chair,” Andrew’s voice turned slower as he responded. His eyes were currently red from anger. The dignity of being the head of Sun Elves was nowhere to be seen.
The disciplinary elder’s entire back turned wet from sweat. He then took a deep breath and informed Andrew about the clue he had gotten.
“Bring that peasant to me,” Andrew coldly ordered after learning of William buying a traveling talisman.
***
“So, you have gotten enough courage even to sell my son a traveling talisman,” Andrew commented as he was sitting on his throne.
An injured Sun Elf kneeled on the ground with his face covered in bruises and numerous injuries throughout his body.
“Your majesty, I couldn’t refuse young master,” The Sun Elf tremblingly responded.
“Kacha!”
“Argh!”
The next moment, a cracking sound rang in the hall, and not long after it, a scream filled with pain engulfed the cracking sound.
The Elf’s left leg had gotten crushed earlier when Andrew appeared suddenly next to him.
“Have mercy, your majesty. It’s a member of our own race. Ancestor’s blood flows in his vein,” One of the Sun Elf seated on a chair suddenly stood up and pleaded to Andrew.
The Sun Elf in question was the head of one of the top Noble families of the Sun Elves. The Elf getting punished came from the same family, so the leader had no choice but to speak up.
The crime committed by the Elf in question wasn’t worth the beating he had gotten, and now in full public view, his legs had gotten crushed by the head of the Sun Elves.
“Mercy, you say,” Andrew’s voice suddenly turned cold as he stared at the head of the noble family.
The head couldn’t help but shrink back in his chair. The next moment, he saw a scene that he was never going to forget.
Andrew picked up the Elf from the ground, and in full public view, Andrew turned him into a bloody mush. The Elf died only at the end. His screams disappeared from the hall, but it became a part of the history of the hall.
“If even a hair disappears from my son’s body, I would kill you and every member of your family.”
A voice filled with nothing but cruelty rang in the ears of the head of the respective noble family’s head.
