Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Rehaal Renar was dreaming.

He was dreaming about the time when he gets all the pieces of the puzzle together and completes the royal quest. He was dreaming about the time when he gets declared as the heir apparent to the throne.

With the right royal power, even the Sages will do his bidding at the right price. There will be an unprecedented level of fame and respect that he will receive from everyone in the kingdom of Edinburgh. And lastly, the right to have a large harem of all the top-notch beauties. Even becoming the heir apparent to the throne was enough for Rehaal to experience finer things in life.

Rehaal liked the place his dreamland was taking him. He was just easing into his dream when he was woken up from his slumber. It took him a while to distinguish between dream and reality when he opened his eyes. The guy was disappointed that it was just a dream and angry at the person who had woken him up so rudely.

He had been slapped in the face and woken up. By the very person who was supposed to look after him.

"What the fuck are you up to, Meera? Is this a way to treat…"

Rehaal rubbed his right cheek with his hand as he said it. However, he stopped his speech after he saw that two people were standing behind Meera. Rehaal opened his eyes wide when he saw that one of them was Eren Idril– the target of the ambush team.

"Expert Meera! Kill him right this instant. Kill him and let the city of White Raven fall. This bastard has messed up with me far too many times."

Rehaal pointed at Eren and urged Meera to take action. For some reason, he kept thinking that Meera was simply not aware of the target's location. However, Meera just stood still and looked at him angrily. As if anger was the only emotion she could show at the time.

"Fascinating, isn't it?"

Rehaal heard Eren speak. The royal scion was about to open his mouth to speak. But he soon found out that Eren's words weren't directed at him. The girl in a black Gothic dress responded to Eren.

"Indeed. You have managed to retain a wisp of her soul that is completely in your control just by adding wrath mana to the mix before the ceremony. I told you that you needed to replace the intentions hidden in death mana with something else. To prevent the dead body from reverting to its dead state. I was only trying to create a clear picture for you.

But frankly, I wasn't expecting something like this. She is hanging between life and death now. She won't be able to break into the next rank anymore being a human doll. But she is as good as a real Expert ranker."

Alephee felt impressed by the results Eren had obtained after the ceremony. The latter chuckled before adding up.

"Goro was trying to create a living undead like her through his soul-related experiments and got his soul injured because of it. He had come up with a few changes to the ceremony by himself. I just took inspiration from the results he had obtained and used wrath mana to complete the puzzle he couldn't."

Alephee nodded at Eren. She then looked at Eren mischievously before adding a sarcastic tone.

"I'm glad you didn't inject lust mana into her body before the ceremony. Otherwise, things could have been much different. Let's just say all her battle potential would have been ruined."

Eren started laughing like a hyena when he heard Alephee's comment.

"Kekeke. Don't put ideas in my head."

He then stared at a confused Rehaal before adding up.

"*Sigh. Too bad she can't talk coherently. Otherwise, I would have created a living undead out of this doofus as well. He would have served me well as my royal sponsor."

Eren sighed and looked at Rehaal like it was a lost opportunity to tap into the royal reserve. He couldn't get anything out of Rodrick at this point. The guy was so broke these days, Eren resisted the urge to kick him out of his city every time he thought about it. Rehaal could have been a boon for him to get more royal resources for himself and his guild. He could only lament the fact that his necromancy still had some limitations.

"What… what the fuck are you guys talking about? And Expert Meera, why the fuck are you looking at me like that? Kill the rats standing behind you. That's what we came here to…"

Rehaal froze in his speech once again when he realized that Eren was fine after the ambush was over. They had a large ambush team when they started. However, there was nobody to be seen around him except Meera Medinah.

Rehaal immediately spread his mana sense and tried to find answers to some of his questions. When he did, those questions led him to answers he wasn't willing to accept.

"You… you killed them all?"

Rehaal had a shake in his voice when he asked Eren. The butcher pursed his lips before correcting.

"No! I am not a bloodthirsty killer that kills in rage, man.

The bitch… err… Sienna Slughorn is alive. The one that is standing beside you is also kinda… sorta… alive-ish. Then there's you. So that's… two and a half rankers!"

Rehaal tried to get away from the scene when he heard Eren's answer. However, Meera's aura kept him from making any sudden moves. She drew her sword from the scabbard behind her back and pointed its tip at Rehaal, freezing him in his action.

'Bitch what is wrong with you? Let me run the fuck away in peace.'

Rehaal had this thought in his mind. He just didn't have the guts to voice them in front of an angry Meera.

"What are you planning to do with him? You told me to spare him. Surely, you have a plan."
