I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 116: News Of Distress

[Ingra Kingdom, Castle]

The incident that happened within the capital of the empire, spread fast to the neighboring kingdoms on the continent

The incident was appointed as an act of terrorism towards the empire, and the officials themselves are still in the state of investigation to find the culprit for this kind of treachery

Inside the castle walls princess Ingrid who was once had accompanied Kaido's group towards the Empire, was the most affected of them all

Alongside her King Simon and General stone was also in a state of shock to receive such grave news

Putting aside the attack on the empire, what  Ingrid the most was the kidnapping of the noble and aristocratic children of the empire, for some reason Sui the girl child, the daughter like of Kaido was mistaken to be a aristocratic child due to her clothes given to him by her father figure Kaido

She was worried that this might trigger something to Kaido's rampage, she is one of the companions of Kaido that clearly understood Kaido's temperament the most. She was sure that if Kaido was triggered, he wouldn't hesitate to turn the Empire upside down when his angered

"Yo... You! Is what you say true?" She stuttered

"It is by no means it is true... . . The reason why I'm telling this to you princess is that for some reason, you and Kaido-sama has some kind of bond... . . Well that is only on my perspective"

The one who answered her nonchalantly was the slave trader/ merchant that Kaido threatened to cooperate in exchange for his his life back in Guila town who is named Pablo

For some reason Pablo was in the Ingra Kingdom for some business related stuff which also included some deprived slaves that wishes to be saved and transferred to the hidden town that he handed the ownership to Kaido

When they confirmed it both King Simon and General stone are praying intently that Kaido's rage wouldn't result to the destruction of the empire

"Even though the Hero is protecting the empire... . ." Muttered King Simon

"Yes... . . We know well what that guy temperament is... . . Without a doubt the Hero may be able to suppress him but in exchange for a great price" followed General Stone

"No... . . My daughter did reported that Kaido defeated the Hero in a exhibition match" pointed out Simon

"But your majesty! We all.know that competitions isn't a mean to show the real strength of a person... . . If is based on a situation the power of a person may vary" objected General Stone

"...Your right... . . There are such cases of that event in the past"

After thinking for awhile King Simon agreed to General Stone's wording

When Pablo saw that they have received the message clearly, he begun to stand up and ask to leave, after all he only told this to princess Ingrid since she was close to Kaido and have spent quite some time together with him more than he could

When he started to turn around he was immediately halted by Princess Ingrid

"Wait!"

"!"

"Tell me... . . Why do you serve Kaido?" Asked Ingrid

Since she knows Kaido's personality she often would think the reason why someone like Pablo and the other slave traders, merchants, even the people in the underworld would put their trust in him and serve him

She was able to prove that Kaido has connections to such people after investigating him a bit through her connections

"What do you mean?" Asks Pablo as he stared back at the princess with a doubting gaze
