"Hinata! Raemond! Nice to see you guys here!"
I was the one calling them out. And they hear my voice and turn immediately toward me. They were in shock. They waved at me and then call me back.
"Alfredo! Miss Mashura! Welcome! Long time no see!"
"Un. Long time no see."
Mashura just responded quietly... I just chuckle and then lean on the wall in front of them... I've decided to stay here for a bit and talk with everyone regarding all the changes that happens in Aligh.
"So, what's been going on with the city? Is there something wrong with it? If so, tell me about it..."
"Well, for starter... Even if there's something wrong about it... We won't tell you about it. It's not your job to worry about this city in the first place, Alfredo. So, don't worry about it."
Raemond explain to me that... At first glance, it might seem like there's really nothing wrong with the city... But the more I look at Raemond, The more she started to get uncomfortable..
It's like she's not comfortable with them lying to me. Mashura comes through with the Telepathy.
'Seems like there's something they want to forget. It's better for us to not get in their way for now. Let's ask Talia what's happened so that the situation can get a lot clearer.'
'True. If there's something happening with the city. I doubt that Talia didn't want to use my power... But the more I think about it. I don't think she really cares that much.'
'Exactly. Because she doesn't care about the city anymore, she would tell us what happening.'
Well... Your logic doesn't really match my logic. But hey. Who's to say that you might be wrong? I won't say that you might be wrong... Because as genius as I am can still make a pretty dumb mistake by thinking the common things...
"Raemond, Can you call Miss Vanessa and Talia out now? The faster we quit the job, the easier it will become for us."
"Ah! Sure! Wait here for a bit!"
Raemond enter the room and then Hinata dash to the other room... Mashura and I just sit down a bit further to Talia's Room because we want to sit in the middle.
And after a bit... Everyone gather around us looking all excited... Especially Miss Vanessa... To show her my respect, I stand up and then bow down.
"Long time no see, Miss. I'm glad you're doing well and I truly never expected that you are Talia's Mom..."
"Long time no see, Alfredo! Well, I never told you that I'm a married woman. I hope you're not expecting to tangle with me in the past!"
She jokes around like that... And I know that Mashura is glaring at me... Miss, Your joke will get me killed. Mashura won't hesitate if she thinks that I'm cheating...
I would be dead in a single second without traces remains... And neither will anyone around here...
"Miss... Stop joking around... I'm not that kind of guy anyway... In the past, I never really look up to anyone anyway.."
"Hoo~ I see. Well! Glad to see you grew up. You have the most beautiful girl as your lover. In my opinion."
Mashura just smirk in confidence... Well, I agree Miss... Mashura is the most gorgeous lady out there and no one can deny her beauty... Well, it's depends as well though. Since a lot of people have their own taste... And for me, my taste is exactly what Mashura is...
"Anyway. Talia, Miss Vanessa, Raemond and Hinata... You guys has given me your answer that you guys want to join me to move to Rhea... Let me explain to you guys your role in Rhea.
First of all, You guys are the Seventh to Tenth people that is going to live in the New Rhea that I rebuild... I demanded that you guys act as my Secretary and something similar. I essentially need you guys to take care of the Rhea Kingdom Political affairs...
How does that sounds??"
All of them look at each other quietly before Talia eventually open her mouth.
"Yeah. We accept that. I'm honestly expecting a bigger shoes to fill. But this small shoes to fill is a pleasant surprise in my opinion."
"Oh Yeah, For sure. We don't do paperwork around there. Because in there, there's still no citizen. And the people who will lives there is going to be those who need to be given the chance to overturn their lives. Because I've made my mind to make less people have a live that is like the past me. So that they can become the best them they can't."
"... Okay... That goal of yours... Leave it to me. I'll do everything in my power to build the strongest political connection you can possibly imagine... Let's reach it."
"Thank you. I know you can... And for Miss Vanessa, It's up to you to do whatever you fancy. I know you have a lot of interest in the past. And it's probably the best time for you to do all of your interest."
"Thank you. I really appreciate that!"
"And for Raemond and Hinata. You two can become their body guard. Just like now."
"Okay!"
Mashura pat my back and her looks told me that she's confused by what I said to Talia... Aaah... It's true... I haven't told her about my plan... The reason being is because this plan of mine... Is not entirely true. As good as it sounds... I didn't intend to Fully follow through with my plan.
'Don't worry... Sure! I will try to invite a lot of orphanage to become the citizen in Rhea. But it depends if they have the talent to join. As nice as it is to invite a lot of orphanage to be the citizen of Rhea... I want Rhea to be the best... So that plan will come at a later date.'
'Good then... I know you hated that kind of plan. Since you're not that type of person... You really surprise. I thought you're a goody two shoes.'
'Welp... It's just to convince Talia.'
And with that, my plan to convince Talia work wonders...
