Avriel turns around and walks toward Jariel's dead body. She looks at him and lifts him up and carries him in her arms, then all of her men are approaching her and standing in front of her. Avriel looks at them and nods.
"Help me bury my father... clear the path for me and if anybody is trying to stop me, kill them all. I want a few of you to guard this room outside and don't let anyone enter the room."
They all bow with understanding. I tilt my head while looking at her.
"Where do you want to bury Jariel?"
Avriel shakes her head..
"I have not decided yet, maybe I will bury him near Fjel Town..."
I nod with understanding and then open a portal.
"You can use that portal. You will be near Fjel Town when you enter the portal, then you can decide where do you want to bury him."
Avriel is nodding.
"Thank you."
I nod with understanding, then Avriel orders her men to enter the portal to check on the situation on the other side of the portal while 4 of her men are walking to the exit and guard outside the throne room. Avriel then walks toward the portal and before she enters the portal, she turns around.
"I will be away for a moment. I will be back here in-"
I shake my head.
"Take your time, Avriel. You can come back whenever you're ready."
Avriel is staring at me for quite a while and then she nods.
"Thank you."
Avriel then walks toward the portal while carrying Jariel. I watch her leave and then I walk toward Ivonna and Rodwane.
Ivonna is crossing her arms and then she looks at me and slightly smiles. I stand next to her and look at King Crafnell on his knees while Rodwane is standing in front of him.
"You know why we came here, right, Crafnell?"
King Crafnell is lowering his head and nods weakly. Rodwane looks at us and he's hesitant to say a word. It seems that he wants to privately talk with Crafnell, so I look at Ivonna and tilts my head to the side, and let him have a moment with King Crafnell.
We are standing on the side while looking at them both from the distance. Ivonna is looking at the dead bodies of the NPCs around the room.
"What are we going to do with them? There's no way we can hide them without the royal guards and the minister notice about this."
I'm leaning on the wall and look at her.
"Well, that's not a problem. Come on, help me throw them away."
Ivonna raises her eyebrows.
"How?"
I smile and walk toward the dead bodies.
"Tossing them into the portal, come on."
Ivonna is oohing and then she walks toward me.
The only place that is a perfect place to dispose of the dead bodies that come into my head is Krestan's place since his house is near the sea valley and we can toss them all to the sea so nobody can find these dead bodies or I'm going to burn them all into ashes. I'm not going to make the same mistake again.
We are tossing the dead bodies into the portal and then someone comes out from the portal.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!"
We both are startled and look at the portal. I thought it's some stranger but turns out it's just Krestan with his annoyed face. He walks toward us and waving his hand in disagreement.
"No no no! You both need to stop tossing dead bodies near my house! Do you think my house is a graveyard?! Stop it!"
I look at him while Ivonna and I are lifting the big guy's dead body.
"Relax... I'm not planning to just toss them away, I'm planning to take care of all of them afterwards, so just deal with it."
Krestan is resignedly sighing and shaking his head. He then just realize that he's in a throne room, he looks around and then looks at Rodwane and King Crafnell near the throne. He raises his eyebrows and smiling happily when he sees King Crafnell is on his knees with ropes around his body. He's chuckling happily and then he looks at me.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me that you're going to do the plan now?"
I give him my sour smile and look at the floor.
"Yeah, I should have brought you along..."
Krestan is furrowing his forehead with suspicion while staring at me.
"What's wrong?"
Ivonna and I are tossing the big guy's dead bodies into the portal and then sigh.
"Jariel is dead..."
Krestan's joyous expression immediately disappears.
"What?"
I nod weakly.
"Yeah, it was my fault... I really should have brought you here and Jariel would be still alive now."
Ivonna is grabbing my arm and she shakes her head. I smile weakly and nod with understanding. Krestan then looks around to search for Jariel's dead body, but he doesn't find Jariel's dead body around the room.
"Where is his dead body? Where is Avriel?"
I open the same portal where I sent Avriel.
"She should be around there. Can you stay by her side for now, please? I'm worried about her."
Krestan without hesitation immediately enters the portal. I thought he would ask me why should he go there to stay with Avriel, but he runs toward the portal without saying a single word. I guess even if he doesn't like Avriel, he's still worried about her. I hope they both can be in a good term with each other from now on.
We are dragging Jahne to the portal since his body is like a liquid without his backbone. We both enter the portal and we see dozens of dead bodies in front of us. I look at Ivonna and tilt my head.
"You can go back inside now."
Ivonna shakes her head.
"I will be here waiting for you."
I raise my eyebrows.
"Oh, okay."
I think I just have to burn them altogether since it's the best option to remove traces, and when I'm about to burn them down, Azrael comes out from the portal.
"Master!"
I'm startled and look at him with confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Azrael is whimpering.
"My food..."
I raise my eyebrows.
"You want to eat them?"
Azrael nods.
"I want!"
I scoff and nod.
"Okay, eat as much as you can and after you're done come back here."
Azrael nods happily and then immediately chow those dead bodies. Ivonna is shocked and look at Azrael with disgust. She then looks at me while furrowing her forehead and shaking her head with disbelief. I just smile and walk toward her and then sit on the ground while she's still staring at me.
"What is he doing? Is he eating them?"
I nod.
"Oh right. This is the first time you see him eating NPCs huh? Well, long story short, eating NPCs with high levels and stats is giving him quite a lot of status points. So as you can see here, Azrael is taking the nutrition from their bodies."
Ivonna is furrowing her forehead.
"Are you serious?"
I nod and then tilt my head.
"Oh by the way. I haven't seen your Amruchi for quite a while now. Can I see her?"
Ivonna summons her Amruchi and then I use [Understanding] skill to see her stats and progress.

I look at Aeris and chuckle.
"Isn't she a bit chubby since the last time I saw her? What did you feed her?"
Ivonna is putting Aeris on her lap and rubbing her head.
"I gave feed her cakes..."
I tilt my head.
"What? You only gave her buff foods and she gained a lot of statuses?"
Ivonna is laughing and nodding.
"Yeah, I gave her cakes. Not just normal cakes, but buff foods. I want her to eat something delicious and at first, she didn't take any points for eating those, but I kept giving her cakes because she loves them so much, and now she can finally get points from eating those cakes. To be honest, she's been eating those cakes more frequently than she was back then. I had to bake at least 20 cakes a day for her since that's her portion for a day. I'm not going to complain since I love her and it's rewarding whenever I see her eat the cakes I made."
I look at Azrael eating the dead bodies and then I look at Aeris eating a small cake in Ivonna's hands. I scratch my head and look at Ivonna.
"Do you think Aeris would like eating dead bodies?"
Ivonna pushes my shoulder gently while scoffing.
"You crazy."
