Chapter 639: A Chance to Kidnap the President
The next day, I returned back to the office again and talked a lot about the outside world with President Yuria together with Shirley. This time, we’re talking about Tatrama Kingdom.
I’m not used to call Albert as his majesty so I let Shirley do the talking. And Shirley talked about many things that she knows.
Well, she’s more knowledgeable about how her country work. While I just focused more on gourmet. If the President asked me what the specialty dishes from Tatrama, I can answer her right away. But it seems like she’s not interested in talking about food so I don’t have much to say.
The things President Yuria asked were mostly about the situation in the outside world including about the cult.
“Well, now we have more expert level mages. But it’s still not enough to face against the cult. Even more since just a few days ago, we encountered two master level mages acting as bandits. We don’t know yet if they are with the cult or not. But there’s no way any ordinary bandit can reach master level easily. Though we killed them after a difficult fight,” Shirley said.
She can lie so easily. She wasn’t even with us when I encountered those two master level mages from the cult. And she told the President that we killed two master level mages. Though we won’t say anything about them being in the cult without any evidence. We just make them assume that we killed master level mages from the cult.
“How can you kill master level mage easily!?”
.....
All of a sudden, the woman in hiding shouted and asked how we can kill master level mages.
“Simple. We are fight better and more efficient than them. Even if our level is weaker, we have more experience in fighting while they are probably hiding their power or only have the experience of fighting someone weaker than them while we encountered a lot of powerful enemies and keep trying to improve ourselves by sparring with each others,” Shirley replied calmly.
“But they are master level mages! I can’t even believe that someone as strong as Emilia lose against an expert level mage no matter how much you explained it!”
The woman no longer hide herself. The wall where she hid herself opened and she came out. She’s wearing a black robe, but I can see her face clearly. She seems to be much older than President Yuria.
“Then, how about we check it out whether expert level mage can defeat a master level mage or not? Actually, this morning, Emilia asked Angela again for a spar. They should be fighting quite far from here. You can watch it and see whether expert level mage can win or not. Though they both can fly so they might be quite far... did she just leave you alone here with us?”
When I pointed my finger to the location where Angela and Emilia should be sparring, the woman in black came out of her hiding spot and jumped out of the window and fly toward the direction I pointed at.
Did she just forget about her duty as the President’s Guard?
President Yuria didn’t show it in her expression, but I can see her heart is beating so fast. She must be worried that we might do something to her. Especially after knowing that we are too strong.
“Umm... we can stop our chat today if you want to,” I said to the President.
“...No, it’s okay. But I will ask someone to come here first,” President Yuria said as she left her office. And outside the office, the woman who became our guide again today is waiting.
President Yuria told her to bring Patricia here. Don’t tell me that this is a chance to tell them the truth? A chance to see if President Yuria is a member of the cult or only asking for their cooperation?
I approached Shirley and whispered in her ears.
“Shirley, the other woman has left. And the President is bringing Patricia here. Do you think this is our chance to interrogate them?” I asked.
“That’s a good idea. But are you sure about this? You might end up missing a chance to perform tonight if there’s a trouble here,” Shirley said.
Oh, right. Shows come first and cult later. Is not something I would think.
The cult’s destruction always come first. My source of trauma should be erased as soon as possible. At least we can do it before we perform. Because if we’re in the middle of our performance, I won’t forgive anyone who makes trouble at that time. Whether they are from the cult or not.
“It’s fine. But for now, I’ll make it simple. We’ll try to get Patricia and the President to cooperate for now. The rest, we’ll do it later. We only have this chance when the President’s guard is not here. And it won’t be long until she returns. For now, we will both try to stop Patricia from doing anything and convince the President. Once they enter, I will use air magic to lock the sound from leaving,” I suggested a plan to Shirley.
“Hmm... I have a better plan. You carried a Magic Restricting Collar with you, right? We’ll put that on Patricia’s neck. Once she can’t use any magic to protect the President, you will open a portal and let my brother interrogate them quickly. You will stay here and keep watch for when that woman returns,” Shirley said.
“Okay. That’s a much better plan. Be sure to get the answer quickly. Even if Angela is quite far from here, it’s best to get things done sooner. Alright, Patricia is close. Let’s do it.”
We acted normally when Patricia and President Yuria are outside the door. Soon after, the two entered the office.
And as soon as the door is locked, I used air magic to seal the sound in this office.
“What are you doing!?”
As a master level mage, it’s obvious that she could sense that I activated my magic. But since she’s acting as the President’s guard after the real guard is gone, she can’t use any powerful magic in this enclosed space or she will end up hurting the one she needs to protect.

“I’m trying to save this country from the cult,” I replied.
Then I grabbed Patricia’s arm to stop her from doing anything. She was shocked to see that I’m much more powerful than her despite her level is higher than mine.
Using Victoria’s clones, I transformed them into a rope so I can restrain Patricia, and I put the collar around her neck.
“Sorry about this. Someone will explain everything soon. With your strength, you can easily rip that collar off your neck,” I said.
“Why are you doing this!?” Patricia shouted.
Seeing that a master level mage was restrained easily, President Yuria panicked. But before she could do anything, Shirley stopped her.
“Please don’t do anything stupid. We know that you are cooperating with the cult through that guard in black before. We need to confirm if you are only cooperating with them, or you are actually a member of the cult,” Shirley said as the air in the surrounding turned cold. She’s pressuring the President with her ice magic.
“I... I don’t know what you’re talking about!” President Yuria denied that she has anything to do with the cult.
But I can see that she’s lying. And Patricia who is a master level mage is sensitive enough to feel the change around her president.
“See? You understand, right? For now, please cooperate with us for the safety of your country. I will take you somewhere else where you can hear the truth from your president,” I said to Patricia.
“...Yuria. You will tell me everything about what happened with you and that cult. Roy, where will you take me to?” Patricia asked.
To answer that, I opened a portal directly to Albert’s location. He’s in his office with Mustache and the Prime Minister to do some paperwork.
“Meet the King of Tatrama, Albert. He will be the one asking you questions, and you will answer everything. By the way, Shirley is his sister. Which makes her a princess. I’m sorry that we lied to you, but it was necessary. Please enter the portal. I will wait here for that guard in black. When she’s about to arrive, I’ll open up a portal for you to return,” I said.
Even if Patricia is a master level mage, Shirley and Mustache should be enough to stop her from going wild. And President Yuria who is scared of Patricia right now, can’t do anything but obey me.
Albert was confused because I didn’t tell him that I will bring the President of Rygis to him. But that’s fine. Shirley will explain everything to him.
Since Patricia no longer resisting, I removed the Blobbyrope binding her. She entered the portal while ripping off the collar on her neck. But she has no intention of fighting at the moment so it’s fine. And her attention is toward her president who might be betraying her country.
I close the portal and I’m all alone in this room. But there are many expert level mages here who noticed it, so I called Shelia and Graham, and also let Victoria be in her human form. With this, there are the same four people’s presences in this room. No one outside will be suspicious if they sense four people here.
I have learned that expert level mages and even master level mages can’t tell who is who from just detecting presences. With this, no one can tell that the president and Patricia are gone.
But of course since I used magic, the guide outside the door is suspicious.
“Ms. President! Is everything okay?” she asked.
And I, after adjusting my voice with air magic so my voice is similar to President Yuria’s voice, replied back to her.
“It’s okay. I just asked our guests to show me their magic. Don’t worry since Patricia is here,” I said with President Yuria’s voice.
“Understood. If there’s anything you need me to do, please call me.”
We’re safe for now. Let’s wait for the woman in black to return, or until I received a message that Albert is done with the interrogation.
