I Got Isekai’d, Well Cryp!

As Rya and the group came closer to the estate. Rya finally saw how big the place was. The estate was about three stories tall and almost as big as a football field. It had many windows and balconies on both sides of the building as well as a large courtyard in the front where there were trimmed hedges. To say this was the only nice-looking place in Kishin would be an understatement.

"Well, this place is something else? I can't believe this is the mayor's house." Rya said quietly.

"Yeah, it's pretty impressive compared to the rest of the town. Makes you wonder where he got all this money?" Percy said with a raised eyebrow.

"I haven't come here that often, but this place has never sat right with me. I probably have to thank my uncle for this." Quinus said with a stern expression.

When they walked up to the gate to the estate the ten city guards came out of the front door and took a defensive stance. Which made Rya, Quinus and the group stop in their tracks as they were in a standoff.

'Well, another warm welcome? Goddess, why did this idiot just advertise that he's not to be trusted? Dammit, why can't things be simpler?' Rya thought as she looked around the area to see if there was any movement.

"What do you want!?" A guard yelled as he pointed a short sword at Rya, which caused Quinus to step in front of the guard.

"You better watch where you point that thing! She is part of His Highness's Entourage! Now where's Tomas?" Sir George asked with a stern look. He had his hand on his sword ready to strike if need be.

The guard looked at Quinus with disgust. "Oi! So, you came back after failing to deal with the Dungeon Core? What a shame, your Highness."

'Crap! We are getting in a fight with these guys, aren't we?' Rya sighed knowing this was going downhill fast.

Quinus responded to the guard by reaching into his leather satchel and pulling out the glass container which contained Liquid Ether. They could see the ether's glow light up the area. The city guards were shocked and looked at each other as if they were not expecting to see that.

The guard who slung insults at Quinus started sweating after realizing he might have picked a fight with the wrong person, especially if he was able to survive the labyrinth. He was told by Marcus that the prince wasn't a threat and would be dealt with by the dungeon. But the liquid ether in his hands was enough to prove otherwise.

"Your Highness... I apologi~" The guard took an arrow in the eye.

*Thud!*

The body of the guard fell to the ground when Percy swiftly executed him, which caused the other Guards to step back and look at Percy with fear in their eyes.

"Thank you, Percy... So, who else is a traitor to the future crown of Fiafyr?" Sir George asked the guards with a stern look.

"We... We were told to take you all into custody and bring you before Mayor Tomas." One of the guards said with a shakey voice.

"So you wish to arrest the Prince?" Sir George asked as he stepped closer to the group of guards.

The guards took a step back, even if they outnumbered them, these men were strong. Especially the one with a bow, he was extremely skilled. Plus they didn't know what the Wolfkin or the Dark Elf were capable of.

After a moment, the Guards' wills broke and they all lowered their weapons. They didn't see the Viscount, Marcus Revelia anywhere and the one called Sir George was known as a strong warrior in Fiafyr. If Marcus was there then maybe they had a chance.

"That's what I thought, now tell me where the mayor is." Sir George ordered.

One of the guards replied, "He's on the top floor of the manor."

"We'll get the mayor!" Another guard answered as he ran back into the mansion.

'Shit, Percy!? I didn't know you could be so ruthless. He didn't bat an eye at what he did.' Rya thought when she saw Percy shoot the guard in the face with an arrow.

After a moment a guy wearing black robes with red lines across his chest appeared out of nowhere.

"Y-Your Highness!? I-I'm glad to see you in good health. P-Please come in. Men, step aside." Tomas said with a trembling voice.

"Tomas! His Highness doesn't trust you. We know your allegiance is to Duke Alaric Revelia." Sir George said with a stern look.

Tomas was about to protest but stopped himself before he did.

"Y-Yes, you're right. My loyalty lies with the duke. But that doesn't mean I don't care about the people of Kishin. I just wish there was some way to avoid bloodshed, my Lord." Tomas said as he bowed his head.

Rya thought he was full of shit about caring for the people of Kishin. They literally walked through the village square and saw the condition of the poor people who lived there. She knew that he only cared about himself and his wealth.

'Yeah, this dude is lying out of his ass... I don't know what he would do to us if we turned our backs on him.' Rya thought as she watched on.

"This whole situation was created by the duke and his son... What will you do if my uncle decides to fight me for the throne Tomas?" Quinus asked with a stern look.

"Y-You would have my support, of course, my Lord," Tomas answered nervously.

"You will have to give me a good reason not to end your life right here and right now, Tomas!" Quinus said with a stern look.

"Y-Yes my Lord. I'll be your double agent!" Tomas said in a hurry.

"You'll have to sign a Blood Contract. That will end your life if you breach it. You will also have to swear your allegiance to me from this day forward. If you do that then I will consider giving you the chance to live. Do not make me regret this decision, Tomas." Quinus said with a stern look.

"We can do that right away, My Lord... Aitken! Could you please, grab an enchanted parchment," Tomas said with a smile as he looked at the man behind him.

"We have our, own Blood Contracts, Tomas," Quinus said with a cold tone to match his face.

"O-Of course his Highness has his own, contracts! H-How silly of me," Tomas said with a panic-stricken look.

Tomas' smile turned into a frown. "So, they know!" He whispered to himself.

Quinus and his mother knew about how the Mayor gained control of the village. Tomas would try to sneak in blood contracts to the citizens or guards of Kishin. These contracts were magically enforced and would cause the victims to be bound to the person who signed the contract. If the victims were found out, then Tomas could dispose of them easily.

Rya's ears twitched when she heard Tomas, 'FUCK! I really didn't want to do this! But this douche is going to screw us over.'

Rya walked up to Quin and tapped his back. "Hmm?" Quinus said with a confused look as he tilted his head back to glance at Rya.

"Tomas said something about you guys knowing his plan, I think he's going to betray us," Rya whispered into Quinus' ear.

If Quinus wasn't in such a high-stress situation, he would've gotten an instant boner from having Rya whisper into his ear. He held back from teasing her and focused on the issue at hand.

"Are you sure, Rya?" Quinus whispered back.

"Yes, I'm positive." Rya nodded.

"Then, I guess he's sealed his fate," Quinus said as he regripped his sword.

Tomas watched as Rya whispered into Quinus's ear which put him into a panic, when he noticed her ears underneath her hood. He realized the woman beside the Prince was a Dark Elf. He couldn't help but tremble, if this Dark Elf was here then she'd heard every word he said.

Tomas' heart rate increased and his palms started to sweat, as Quinus' golden eyes pierced his soul.

"Y-You have an Elf?" Tomas said with a nervous look on his face.

Quinus nodded and continued to stare down Tomas.

"She heard what you said," Quinus asked with a serious tone.

"OH, GODDESS! ALL OF YOU, DEFEND ME!" Tomas shouted as he looked around at his guards.

Four of the city guards tried to engage Quinus as he tightened up the grip on his sword while his body started to glow with mana. And like a flash Quinus moved 25 feet to where Tomas was standing.

*Swing! Swing! Swing! Swing! Swing!*

Tomas and four of the Guards' heads were no longer attached to their bodies. Quinus moved fast enough to kill Tomas and the guards before anyone could react. It was skillfully done, and a complete surprise for the remaining city guards.

"Wow!" Rya said under her breath, her jaw dropping as she watched the events unfold.

'Wow! I-I didn't know he could do that. H-He so strong and... I-I need to focus! I can't let my guard down.' Rya thought as she tried to shake the odd sensation coming from her nether region. It wasn't strong, but it tingled, and she could feel a dampness in her underwear.

*Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!*

The bodies fell to the ground, while the headless corpses spurted blood. This caused the remaining five city guards to panic and try to run.

"Percy! Lady Dalia! Lady Rya! Don't let the others get away!" Sir George yelled as he attacked the closest guard.

*Swing!*

*Clang!*

Sir George took the Guard's arm off at the shoulder and threw him over the side of the bridge.

"ARGH!!" Yelled the one guard that was thrown.

Percy shot the one running towards the door.

*Thud!*

Dalia moves swiftly as she claws out the throat of the next closest guard.

"NOOOOOO!" The last guard screamed as he tried to defend himself.

'Crap! Well, here I go!' Rya thought as she used her Dark Earth magic to make two earth spikes shoot up from the ground underneath the Guard's feet.

"GRRAAAAHHHH~" The guard screamed in pain while he fell down into a third earth spike which impaled his chest.

The last guard fell on his butt as he begged for mercy and Mr. Aitken just stood there shaking not knowing what to do. Quinus cleans his blade with the sleeve of his left arm while staring down at Marko.

"Gentlemen... You two can either sign the Blood Contract or you can choose death. Tell me, what would you choose?" Quinus said with a commanding tone while his face started to look paler for some reason.

"W-We'll sign it, My Lord!" Marko said with a shaky voice.

Quinus nods as he pulls out a blood contract and signs it with his blood.

"Now... Sign it," Quinus demanded as he handed it to the city guard first then Marko. Once they signed the blood contract, it started to glow a blood red before it disappeared.

"It's done... So, if either of you tries to betray me, then you will die. Do you, both, understand?" Quinus asked with a stern look.

"Yes, we understand, my Lord!" Mr. Aitken said with a nod.

"Good," Quinus said as he turned to the rest of his party. "Well, it looks like we're going to rest now."

After the dust had settled, so to speak, Rya couldn't help but replay what had just happened in her mind. She saw how graceful and strong the Prince was as he cut down Tomas and the other guards. The way he moved and the speed at which he struck was unlike anything she had ever seen before. She knew he was strong, but she didn't realize he was that strong and it made her heart race. Soon, her eyes wandered to his chest where his armor covered most of his muscular body. She licked her lips before she willed herself to look away from him.

'Goddess! He can be so fucking sexy... Gah! I need to control these emotions! This can't be me!' Rya thought as she watched Percy and Sir George move around the room checking to make sure everything was clear. After they checked the rooms, Percy and Sir George gave the all-clear sign. That's when Rya glanced over at Dalia who had a confused look on her face.

"What are you thinking about?"
