NTR: I became a noble?

Chapter 79 : Rae's past

'Someone among them is a spy from that person in dark.' Erica had some doubts in her heart.

...

Erica was tired from exhaustion, she had clashed with Peerian and it was the toughest battle of her life. She could not even make her opponent use his main weapon, Peerian was fighting against her bare handed and he had still won.

While on the other hand, she had recklessly burned her Ki energy to produce a stronger version of her body reinforcement. She was left tired and exhausted from the fight.

"Let's set off, we are going back to the nearest city. We need to report this incident to our superiors."Erica loudly announced as she patted the dust off of her curvy butt.

She was injured, but it was nothing that would make her travel slow. Her current goal was to report this incident with great detail to her superiors.

After that, she had planned to take rest for a few weeks to recover from the injury. The damage to her body was not done by Peerian.

Her opponent Peerian, in fact never attacked her. It was her own stupid idea to use a reckless technique for extra strength which had caused her to sustain injuries.

As she travelled back to the closest city, she kept thinking of the short battle and her opponent's overbearing power.

...

A secret hideout in the wilderness,

A table and chair was arranged in the small room. There were only basic necessities in the room which was roughly made with apprentice level carpenter skills.

Rae was seated on the chair while he rested his legs comfortably on he table. Four dim lights were placed near the ceiling of the house which lighted the room enough for basic reading and writing.

"A letter from a beautiful lady but the contents inside do not remind me of the sweet times i had spent together with her.

Since, she has sent me a personal letter after this long without any contact, this means the task is really important to her and she needs it to remain confidential." Rae made an assumption.

He was reading a letter that had arrived in his name. He was living his life in very less populated and isolated kind of town.

The hideout that he was currently inside was a house that he had made in a further isolated space, it was in pure wilderness, devoid of any humans.

But somehow, he had received a letter in his name here, to be exact in his real name which he used to go by when he had just transmigrated into this new world Terias Val Avan.

The name which he had forsaken after he was defeated by Ekaros.

...

"She did not bother to put the task on Hike, that society is good for information only and some small missions at times." Rae scrutnised the mission.

Hike was a secret group that he had joined a few years back, it was mostly an information sharing society which sometimes posted tasks and missions to be competed for certain rewards or points.

He had also gotten a small artifact in the form ring which was an artifact exclusive to the members of the Hike. These artifacts were far advanced in information sharing and connectivity than the others in the market.

Earlier, he had sealed away the artifact that he had gotten from joining the Hike. He did not want to be found out and tracked by Alice or any other members from the group.

"A request to help the only remaining family of the Royal consort. Well, what can i say? She knows what exactly I would want from the deal." Rae could not turn down this request.

The mission aligned with his personal as well as his professional goals. He could form a connection with the royal consort and the royal family while also getting a great reward at the same time.

He was supposed to help the relative of the royal consort. The relative was being targeted by the concubine of the king.

"Anything else Alice? The rewards are surprisingly good, a request token from the king himself. Did the royal consort herself task Alice with this mission?" He was surprised by the connections that Alice had made.

...

A request token from the king was an item, a token, the greatest reward an individual could receive from the king was this token. Except for the really confidential and some important noble positions, the token could grant almost anything to the token bearer.

The current queen was not in a good political position, the constant chaos within the kingdom had caused the king to turn his head away from her.

He had suddenly grown closer to the concubine who was famed for her beauty and her charms. Thus elevating the concubines position which has led to the tension between the concubine and the consort.

"She sure has made many connections in the past few years. Not bad, I am compelled to accept this mission. Time to extend my hands into the royalty." Rae smirked as he mumbled in confidence.

He had been training and gaining experience in the country side for quite a long time. His senses were tingling to finally have an audience with nobles.

...

"The king, his unloved royal consort and his favorite concubine, a splendid story of a homewrecker." Rae made a comment as he summarised the content of the letter.

The letter contained some insider information and hints as to why the kingdom was in chaos.

"I did not think that the small task would be this confidential. It's good that I have bid farewell to both Maria and Lucy." He mumbled

He could not return any quicker than few months from his mission and this estimate of few months was by a conservative standard.

The connections with the noble ladies would take more than just few months.

He had grown in both strength and experience, this time was going to be different than the past.

The chaos inside the kingdom was the sign of arrival of a big change. Rae had decided to capitalise on that chance.

"Time to leave." Rae stepped out out of his small but the secret hideout. A soft blue light merged with his back, it extended from his neck to his legs like a big robe and covered him fully.

The robe like blue energy straightened up and parted in two sides. The now wings like physical construct flapped together and propelled Rae out from the wilderness to high into the sky.
