Chapter 438: Lyra

Axel had just finished his third glass of wine when he finally was able to get a hold of Olaf on the phone.

“OLAF!”

“Sorry young master… I was a little busy… Do you have anything really urgent to contact me?” Olaf asked. They have agreed that he may only contact Olaf in case of emergencies.

“Yeah…” Axel said he was feeling a little drowsy, but he was still sober. ”Just a few questions…” freeweɓnøvel.com

“Please do ask!” Olaf, who was clearly a little busy, replied politely.

“First… Was that imposter gay?” Axel asked directly.

“Gay!? Was there anything that left that impression?” Olaf frowned.

“Margret said a few things that implied that… What do you know?” Axel said with a frown.

“Ah… We are not sure… Let me see…” Olaf hesitated. “There were some rumors about him having a relationship with his butler named Alex… But there was no concrete evidence.”

“I see…” Axel sighed, this confirmed what Margret said, the imposter was clearly holding his tendencies from the family.

“From what we know he swings both ways, so feel free to do that!” Olaf said from the other side.

“No thanks…” Axel rejected him. He was a straight man! As straight as an arrow! “That Alex…”

“He died at the wedding, I was there and saw it…”

“Wait… Someone died at that wedding?”

“ There was a fight about one of the brides, a total mess! Ask any of your wives and they would explain it…” Olaf replied briefly. “What other questions does the young master have?” Olaf asked.

“Well…” Axel hesitated. He swallowed.

“What?”

“Did the imposter suffer from an accident that led to him losing his manhood?” he asked nervously.

“... WHAT?” Olaf asked with a clear shock from the other side. “Did that Margret also tell you that?” he added with a nervous voice.

“Yeah… It should have happened in someplace called the Skeleton Dungeon… She said some demon found him in an indecent position with Alex and castrated him…”

“THE NUTCRACKER!” Olaf gasped from the other side.

“Yeah! That’s what she called it!” Axel nodded. “What is it?”

“No wonder!” Olaf sighed to himself. “It is a demon that appeared after an anomaly was recorded in that skeleton dungeon, it might have escaped from there… It called itself the Nutcracker and had a thing for castrating people while making them call its name!” he explained.

“Oh…” Axel frowned. Demons could do that? Scary!

“After leaving the skeleton dungeon, there are many reports of the imposter expressing great fear whenever the Nutcracker was mentioned, yet refusing to explain why…“ Olaf continued. “Now we know the reason!”

“I see…” Axel frowned. “What should I do?” he asked.

“Ah… Keep with your cover no matter what!”

“Master Olaf… I can’t live like a hermit…” Axel explained. After spending a few days with that maid before beginning his mission, he finally experienced being a man for the first time. He could no longer return to playing ‘single-player’ games.

“Ah… You can use the method the imposter was using before to hide his preferences…”

“What was he doing?”

“He would go to a brothel, drug the girls then use toys to rape them…” Olaf said. “You can do it for real, but you must make sure they are drugged….”

“...” Axel frowned. He was a pervert, but never that degenerate.

“... Or you can be a little patient… We will find the ones behind the imposter in a few months, and then you will no longer have to keep pretending!” Olaf reassured him.

“I will see what I can do…” Axel sighed. True, this was the best course of action. “What can you tell me about that girl Margret…”

“An interesting lass ha….” Olaf smirked.

“Yeah…” Axel replied, remembering her confessing about cuckolding him... No, she did it to the imposter!

“She is a gold digger… A good one at that. She used to work as a prostitute under her evil uncle… A tragic story! ” Olaf sighed. “But you can’t be fooled by her like the imposter did, she is very smart and resourceful!”

“... Oh…” Axel nodded. "Don't worry..." Damn it! He was almost seduced by her.

“Does the young master have any other questions?” Oalf asked in a hurry.

“What about the maids in the mansion…the young ones…”

“Ah… We don’t have info about those, they appeared out of nowhere… The imposter made sure no one knew a thing about them… Did you notice anything of interest?”

“They are little boys…”

“I see... WHAT?” Olaf was clearly shocked.

“You heard me...”

“Are you sure?”

“I asked one of them… And they confirmed it!” Axel sighed. Remembering the little maid's answer.

“No wonder…. Well… Young master… When you plan to live in high society, you have to prepare yourself to meet a lot of perverts,” Olaf said. “I just hope that you won’t get corrupted!”

“Don’t worry!” Axel spat.

“Anything else?”

“No… Ah… Wait… Who do I have to call if I need to find a hotel room in this city?”

“Don’t you want to return to the mansion?” Olaf frowned.

“... The situation there is a little awkward, I need a night to clear my thoughts…”

“Fine. I will send you Kai’s number, he is your Butler and can be trusted, but just to make sure be sure not to reveal a thing to him.”

“I will…”

“Take care then…”

Olaf hung up. He must have been swamped with work, what a hard-working man!

Axel sighed. He really has no idea what to do.

“YOUNG MASTER VICTOR! IS THAT REALLY YOU?” Someone suddenly exclaimed, making Axel look back and notice that a young woman was standing beside him…No... Wait, Since when did women have a beard?

He gasped as he turned to inspect her.

She was tall, and muscular and stood with confidence. Her most striking feature was her thick pink dyed neatly trimmed beard that didn’t match well with the bright yellow short skirt, red high heels, and belly button revealing thin orange mesh shirt she was wearing.

“You are?” Axel swallowed, the visual stimulation was too much.

“It’s me… Chicka! Did you forget about me so soon…” she said as she sat on the seat next to him, her hand immediately going for his calf under the table.

“Ah… I…”

“Wanna go for a ride like last time…” she bit her lip, his hand reaching his butt and squeezing it. “I will make you feel good and yell my name again and again!” she winked.

“I HAVE TO GO…” Axel yelled as he jumped, and in a split second, he made his way to the door.

“SIR! YOUR BILL!” a waiter yelled after him, but by that moment Axel was already in his car, pressing the gas pedal as hard as possible.

SHIT! It was all true!

Those were his true thoughts!

‘Chicka’ watched him go with a smirk then took out the phone and made a call.

“This is chick 4, mission accomplished!”

“Who did he call?” Margret asked from the other side.

“A guy named Olaf! He asked him about the things you told him about…”

“Ohhhhhhhhhhh… I see… It is always the butt-ler!” Margret exclaimed. “Did you bug the car?”

“Yes, Mistress!”

“Good… Now go, trim your stupid beard, take a shower, and burn that skirt!”

“Affirmative!”

Victor sat helplessly on the ground with chains tying him up like a dumpling.

All around him, the dragon knights carefully inspected the scene of ‘his crime’.

“As I told you, those two were Cannibals… I only killed them for self-defense!” he stated again.

“WE WILL SEE!” the young girl spat, cracking her whip at him.

He didn’t flinch as he inspected her again.

She was pretty strong for her age…. And from the way she conducted herself and the way the other knights treated her, he could tell she was a princess or something like that.

The other Knight had a similar class with levels ranging from 60 to 80. They were clearly an elite unit.

“Why are you here anyway?” Lyra asked for the 18th time.

“I told you already…” Victor was getting bored with this stupid interrogation. Maybe he should have escaped from the start, but curiosity made him stay, he also wanted a free ride. “I came from a faraway place and am looking for my stepmother and my great aunt who should be here!” he said. He couldn’t really tell them that he came from another world.

“...” Lyra frowned. “Are you not going to change your statement?”

“It is the truth!”

“Do you know how many times I heard suspicious people using the stupid search for a missing family excuse?”

“... Ah…. No idea…” Victor frowned. Was this the standard excuse for criminals? Well, it made sense, why else would a young man travel this dangerous world otherwise…

“It is one of the top 3, along with going to find a job in the city and going to study!” Lyra said. “Most of the time they end up being runaway criminals!”

“Like I said… Not everyone is a liar!” Victor was really getting tired. This idiot was reminding him of a certain bitch.

“No… But something is telling me that you are… Why did you kill those two poor farmers anyway? Did they refuse to pay you…”

“I told you damn it… They are cannibals… They were talking about hunting children to eat them,” Victor said. “I couldn’t just leave them be…”

BAM!

She struck her whip at him. freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Don’t you dare scream!” she yelled. “And... I don’t believe you…” she said looking him in the eye. “I have seen many people like you before… I will never be tricked again!”

Victor rolled his eyes hearing this. Some noob must have scammed this bitch before unprofessionally, making her very scam allergic.

“Princess! You might wanna see this!” One of the knights suddenly shouted to Lyra, making her walk to his side and check a bag that he got from a hidden compartment in the wagon. It was filled with small bones… Clearly the fingers of children! “He is telling the truth, there has been a report of two old farmers appearing where several kidnappings happened a few months ago… It must have been them!” he whispered.

Victor sighed. Of course, the bag was real, but it was in the woman’s storage ring, he was the one who took it away and planted it for those idiots to find.

“Oh…” Lyra frowned.

“This guy might be telling the truth…”

“I still don’t like him… The way he killed those two was very decisive and clean…” Lyra said. “He is definitely someone who is used to killing people…”

“...” the knight nodded, she was right.

“I am sure he is up to no good!” she spat, “Just look at his disgusting purple-dyed hair…” she shook her head.

“Yeah!” the knight nodded, looking at Victor with a disapproving look.

“Where are you planning to search for your stepmother anyway?” Lyra turned to Victor who was tied to the ground and asked him, not knowing that he was standing in behind her all this time. Was purple hair a bad thing around her?

“Ah… I followed their trace here to the Silver Empire, and was planning to go to Ishmar to ask around!” he said.

“What does your family look like… What are their names? Maybe I can help you…” Lyra said, clearly grilling him to make him spill up some beans.

“Ah… My step mother's name is Rosette… My aunt’s name…”

“Ariana right?” Lyra interrupted with an excited voice.

“Ah…. Do you happen to know them?” Victor asked in surprise.

“Yeah… I will take you to them…” she said as she turned to the knights. “Bring him along…”

“wait! Can I ask you a few things first?”

“Later...”

“Then can you untie me ?” he asked.

“... We will do that when we reach the city and confirm your identity!” she said as she hurried to her white dragon that was lying to the side.

“Princess…” one of the guards who helped her mount wanted to say something.

“Yeah, I know… He is the 4th this month, at least his excuse is a fresh one…” she sighed.

“Shall we contact the governess or your royal mother?”

“Nah, don’t disturb them for such a trivial matter… We just need to play along! Take him to the keep like the others, and let him meet my adoptive sister! It is almost the date for her next meal anyways!” she whispered as she watched the other knights tie ‘Victor’ to the side of one of the dragons. “That’s what he is after anyway…”

“I understand!” the knight nodded.

Victor who heard her frowned… What kind of huge misunderstanding was he in?

Whatever… At least, he finally found his target and got a free ride.
