Chapter 17 - 17. A Slap in the Face

Twenny walks over clapping for them, "Good job team. You took down a monster a rank above you. "HEAL." She heals them and even their EP and SP recovers. "I think that's enough for today. You guys have worked hard."

Chuck slumps down, "Finally over. I feel stronger than usual." He flexes his muscles as Flint looks at him and shakes his head.

Twenny smiles as her thoughts, "The barrier condenses EP crystals here, even if you can't see it you level up 4 times faster than anyone on this world." She speaks up. "Let's head back to the village and celebrate!" she jumps up.

Aku follows as she looks at her sword, "These swords are really god, but they feel weaker suddenly."

Flint chuckles, "You leveled up sis. Your level is higher than swords."

Twenny's face twitches as her thoughts, "The weapons you're using are Supreme grade. You have to be at least level 200 to wield a weaker supreme grade, even gods need to beg the weapons before they can wield them. Maybe I should have given them lower grades, I don't have any divine grade weapons... I don't have other grades *Sighs* Whatever, Flint should be receiving the rewards for weapons so I'll get them back soon."

Chuck looks at Twenny his thoughts. "There's something about her, I can't put my finger on it. Even if she's a talented mage she shouldn't be able to summon such high level monsters, if she's using that crystal then how did she get it? Argh, whenever I try to pry it's like the grim reaper is begging me to continue so he can kill me. A mage with death protecting her, just who are you Twenny?" he follows silently as they head to town. Flint appraises them.

A few moments earlier.

A carriage is travelling from Frishia to Avua, it belongs to the count ruling Frishia. Inside the carriage is the young lord and his butler and outside the carriage, his entourage consisting of soldiers as they rode horses.

The young lord looks out the window as the butler seems worried. "Young lord, is something the matter?"

The young lord shakes his head, "No, I'm just thinking about marriage."

The butler smiles, "Young lord, that shouldn't be a problem. You chose the bes- "

Young lord cuts in, "I don't like it."

The butler is taken aback, "But young lord, didn't you agree to this?"

Young lord scoffs, "It's either this or 'that' house. A little village girl from nowhere will only serve such a purpose. I wish I had the chance to marry from a higher family."

The butler gives a wry smile, "Unfortunately, none of those families have anyone available. They have all been engaged or married."

Young lord leans back, "I know. I just hope she doesn't embarrass me."

 

Back at Avua, the village inhabited by The Barimah family. The village chief's daughter is as haughty as ever since this is the day she's expecting to go and live in the city. She stands at the gate with her guards as she waits for her husband to be to arrive. The village gathers to send her off though they do it because they're happy to be rid of her, some don't even bother to show up but the number present pleases her.

She sees a carriage approaching from the distance as a smile blossom on her face, she's excited to meet her husband to be. The carriage arrives before the village as the soldiers make a parade to introduce the young lord.

The soldier announces, "Introducing the First born of Count Frishia, Razzle Frishia." The carriage opens as Razzle steps down, his butler follows behind.

Cynthia walks before him and bows, "Welcome to my humble village lord Razzle."

Razzle smiles, "The honor is mine.

The village chief didn't get the chance to welcome him since his daughter took that chance and over stepped her bounds. Razzle's butler took notice of this. The village chief just bows with the villagers

Razzle looks around, "I do believe you are ready for our departure." He smiles.

Cynthia is elated as she bows again, "I am ready my lord."

Just at that moment laughter is heard from the road, everyone looks to find that it's Flint, Chuck, Aku and Twenny. They arrive at the scene before the village as they stare at each other.

Twenny breaks the silence, "Well, this is awkward. Is anyone going to talk or we should just continue." The villagers found her behavior to be amusing and cute but not everyone.

Cythina looks at Twenny with a hint of rage as her thoughts, "This is my special day, my special moment and she dares to ruin it."

The butler speaks to Twenny's group, "This is lord Razzle of Frishia house." He looks at Twenny expecting her to know who he is.

Twenny taps her chin, looks up and gets an idea, "My name is Twenny of Alcore house."

The butler slips but manages to regain his composure, "Little miss, he is the son of the lord who rules these lands."

Twenny taps her chin and gives him a thumbs up, "Good for you."

Cynthia's face twitch with anger and she wants use this time to arrest Twenny, "Guards arrest her. She's disrespectful to lord Razzle." She points her fingers at Twenny as the soldiers turn to her.

Razzle made no attempt to stop this as his thoughts, "Just a village girl, I'll let her have her fun." the guards make an attempt to arrest Twenny but Flint, Chuck and Aku stand before her to protect her. Twenny is surprised.

Flint scowls at them as he takes out his weapon surprising everyone, Chuck and Aku do the same. Razzle assumed them to be low level adventurers who got lucky and got such weapons, he made a note to take them.

Twenny taps Flint's shoulder, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself." She steps forward but Flint tries to disapprove, Twenny points her fingers above her head as a fireball forms. The heat is so intense that it strikes fear in the hearts of the soldiers. "I'm not a teeny weeny little girl for you to push around, don't even dare."

A soldier speaks up, "Do dare attack the soldiers of the count?" Twenny scoffs, "Why should I care about feeble soldiers who do nothing but cause trouble. Do you really think your count has the power to stop me?" Twenny grins at them.

Razzle is surprised by Twenny's power, he's dazzled and fearful of the big fireball. The butler steps up and bows, "My lady, please calm down. I didn't realize you were a 5th tier mage, please accept our deepest apologies." Razzle heard '5th tier mage' and also bowed. This means Twenny is stronger than the court mage of Zolkia kingdom. The soldiers also bow to apologize.

Razzle raises his head, "Forgive me my lady. I had no intention of causing trouble for you, may I ask why someone of your power is in this backwater village?"

Twenny shrugs, "None of your business. And you." She turns to Cynthia, "Do you want to continue with this charade, I'd be happy to play along." Cynthia is fearful of her, she has no idea what 5th tier mage is but the fact that lord Razzle bows means it's nothing to joke about.

The whole village is surprised but they don't know either.
