Chapter 164 - Princess Huibris

 

Ofeq left his nest and soared. Soon, the bird’s colorful feathers were covered in black. He turned into something akin to a huge crow, flew across the sky, and then leaped through space. Beneath the bird’s feet, a magnificent city spread out. It was San Triae, the capital of the Talasin Empire. At the center of it was an imperial castle. The crow flew to the window of the highest tower of the palace, pecking at the window with his beak. Upon hearing the tapping sound, a person came near and opened the window. It was someone who looked upon the cusp of manhood. His thin hair was pitch-black, and his eyes were flecked with gold.

“Ofeq.” He stretched out his hand to the bird. The crow obediently climbed on that arm. Closing the door, he headed to the main room with the bird on his arm. “For what occasion did you come?”

“I’ve found a great seed. Undoubtedly, this one will bud properly,” Ofeq answered.

“It’s your first time describing a seed as great. Should I trust that?” The person smiled and descended the stairs.

Ofeq fixed his wings, fluttering, and casually said, “But it’s hard to take it out.”

“Does it have a high position?” Does it have a high rank?” the man asked.

“It’s the daughter of a duke,” Ofeq answered.

“Man, then I should go do it myself.” The man lightly clicked his tongue.

Ofeq cawed, “Even you’ll have a hard time.”

“Is that so?” he said.

“The watchman’s pupil is around it,” Ofeq said.

The man’s feet stopped. He looked down at the bird on his arm. Ofeq tilted his head as if unsure of what to make of the man’s hesitation. The man slowly asked back, “…That child?”

“Yes. That girl who trusts and follows the watchman so naively,” Ofeq said. The man returned to walking. Ofeq asked harshly, “You will run into her. What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know. What should I do?” he murmured.

As if they reached their destination, the man and the bird stood before a large and fancy door. The man smiled. “I merely follow my master’s will.”

“About that child, too?” Ofeq asked.

Not answering the question, he knocked on the door. “It is Benhiram Bana.”

“Come in.”

It was a luxurious room. As soon as they entered, there was the thick smell of perfume.

“Welcome, Ben.” Reading a parchment scroll, a woman lounged in a large chair. Her curly hair was the color of flames, a shade that most direct Talasin imperial family members inherited. The woman’s name was Huibris Khan Talasin San Triae, the second imperial princess of the empire. With her piercing blue eyes, she gazed at the smiling man who just entered.

“Your Highness.” He knelt by her chair and politely bowed. Discovering the crow sitting on his arm, she put down the scroll and raised her body.

“Ofeq is here. What did you bring this time, crow?” she asked.

“He claims that he found a great seed,” the man answered.

“Is that so? How great is it?” interested, Princess Huibris asked.

As he flew up and landed on the back of her chair, Ofeq whispered, “It’s a seed that can wipe out a city—as long as it buds successfully.”

The princess’s eyes widened, and then she smiled. “Can you guarantee it?”

“I guarantee,” Ofeq replied.

“My, I’ve never seen this picky crow being so sure of a seed like this.”

“This is rare. It’ll be completely different from the low-quality seeds we’ve seen so far. What do you think? Do you want it?”

“Of course, I want it.” The princess’ smile deepened. She tenderly patted the man who was bowing below her chair as if to humor a dog. “Can you bring it, Ben?”

“If you command, with pleasure.” Benhiram quietly added, “But he said that the watchman’s pupil is near the seed.”

“Oh, the watchman’s pupil…” The princess cupped her chin in her hands. “That is difficult. We can’t touch the Wizard of the Horizon. That’s why we’ve been laying low and only preying on the seeds that he hasn’t seen yet. Isn’t that right?” She rolled her eyes to look at the crow. “Since it’s your master, you’d know best. Isn’t that right, you evil crow who’s trying to betray your master?”
