My Magical System-Chapter 244

Chapter 244: The unrest

“Aside from the talk regarding the mysterious group, did you get any information about what the Patriarch and the guests were discussing?”

“Sorry, Lady Detty. I did not hear clearly what they were talking about. ” Detty’s avid aid bowed slightly as she said this. Please visit 𝙛𝓇𝑒𝗲𝒘e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕. com

“I see,” there was a slight disappointment in Detty’s tone from her response. She turned her gaze to the cup in front of her. She saw that it was half full. But, Lili caught her attention again when she spoke again.

“Though, I heard some words from their mouths,” Lili added immediately.

Upon hearing this, Detty immediately turned her gaze back to her trusted aid.

“Tell me, what did they say?” She inquired.

“Yes, Lady Detty. Uhm, I heard one of the guests say that there is no problem because the empire is paralyzed. ”

.....

Detty’s eyes narrowed and her forehead furrowed from what she heard. But her expression remained calm. “My suspicion of what is currently going on in the empire seems correct,” she whispered as her eyes looked into the distance. Again, Detty asked Lili. “What is the patriarch’s response?”

Lili said everything she heard from the conversation of the patriarch and the two guests, who were members of the hero’s party.

After she heard the narration of the obedient servant, Detty fell silent again while thinking deeply. Now she understood what the patriarch was planning. But, she has no intention of interfering in what they are planning. She just prayed that it would not bring harm to the entire Gentlewind family. In fact, she was more confused and cannot believe that the so-called heroes were part of this plan that intends to overthrow the emperor.

From what she had heard of Lili, it’s easy to say that the person behind the planning was one of the heroes. “There’s no doubt that his skill is impressive,” Detty whispered.

“Uh-uhm, My Lady... w-what are we going to do next.... about the patriarch?” Lili stuttered.

Detty looked at her again. She took a deep breath before opening her mouth. “We will do nothing. I am more interested to know about the person behind Elder Grenn’s disappearance. ”

The skill of one of the heroes was truly impressive. It was no joke to oppose the empire and put the emperor in a precarious situation. But, Detty was still more interested in the man who had been able to single out not only her but also Elder Grenn and the officials from parliament.

“Okay, My Lady,” Lili replied. Detty nodded slightly from her response before calling a name.

“Lila...” after saying this, a woman suddenly appeared right next to Lili. The two were identical. That was only natural because these two were twins. Just in the hairstyle, they have a difference. Lila’s hair is bun styled while Lili’s is straight.

“Yes, My Lady,” Lila said suddenly while bowing slightly like Lili.

“I want you to pass this letter on to the current head of the Grenn family,” she said as she handed over the rolled letter tied with ribbon.

“Okay, My Lady!”

After receiving the letter, the image of Lila immediately disappeared in front of her and next to Lili. She also ordered Lili to stand by while Lila was away.

Detty sipped the tiny drop leftover from her tea before her imagination began to play about the future of the empire.

‘At this point, the empire has no hope of recovery. Only a miracle can save it,’ thought Detty.

...

After Eman and Eina left Klaus’ smithing shop, they went straight back to Sunville Village. They had to travel again for a few days to reach the former mining town.

On their way back, Eman noticed nothing in the cities they passed but the dull atmosphere. All the cities they passed through had the same atmosphere. Suddenly the attention of the two was aroused from the coachman’s call.

Tok tok tok!

The coachman knocked slightly on the closed window that was between him and the passengers inside. When Eman noticed the knock on the window he immediately opened it to find out the reason for the knock.

Then he opened it, “Why?” He immediately asked a question.

“Sorry for the disturbance, My lord. But I think you need to know that there is a strange event ahead,” the coachman did not hesitate and immediately stated the reason.

Upon hearing what he said his forehead furrowed slightly and Eman immediately peeked at the road ahead. He saw that they had traveled a long way after leaving the capital city. They are currently in one of the towns to pass through when traveling to or back to Sandstone City.

Based on his knowledge of the area, the place where they are now is called Soda Town. It is a small city a few miles away from the capital city. It was the third city to pass when traveling from Sandstone City to the eastern part of the empire. Soda Town is just like any other city in the empire.

He remembers nothing worth remembering about this place. Regardless, when he peeked ahead his forehead furrowed slightly and his eyebrows stretched out. He saw that the people were shaking the chariot in front of them. There is no need to guess what their reason is for doing this because the cries of the people can be heard from where they are.

*Give us medicine!*

*Food! Give us food!*

In the current crisis, there is no doubt that ordinary citizens are the most affected. This is easy to say because it is obvious who the people gathered in front are. In his mind, ‘The way the enemy of the empire attacks seems strange. Whoever they are, they are not an easy opponent.’

“It’s not good. We need to find another route,” Eman inquired.

They will only be delayed if they continue on this path. And it is also possible that they will not be able to leave this place. People started to become violent because of their unrest.

“Okay, My Lord. But I’m not sure if there is another route we can take. I’m sorry, My Lord, if I don’t know the way here,” his coachman apologized.

Eman was silent for a moment and thought. But a few seconds later he spoke again. “Don’t worry about that. For now, we have to get out of this place first. ”

“Okay!” Coachman’s quick response.

They turned around and went back to where they had been.
