Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 27: in the presence of imperials

It was not a complete disaster for Yunan and Leol according to Lucian "since the meeting was happening outside the sun palace, there is no need for too much formality, according to the laws of sun island, the imperial family is only imperial in the sun palace, otherwise, they are to be treated as you would any other commoner, treating them as royalty or nobles is a blasphemy against them, and a disrespect towards them, thus, just dress well and be as well mannered as you usually are, and that is enough, besides it would only be us and maybe 4 more, so, just be yourselves", that brought second wind and a breath of relief to the boys, they never thought treating an emperor accordingly is both blasphemy and disrespect, thus they relaxed and let Fae dress them up like dolls, once she was satisfied Lucian paid for the clothes she chose and the four went on their way, the four were dressed royally, which drew enough ogling eyes, thieves and cut purses.

The group met up with the rest of Debauchery at the administrative building, everyone was impeccably dressed and one could tell they were going to meet someone of great importance.

Soon came a secretary and led Debauchery to the director's office, the party looked like they are in a picnic while Yunan and Leol were extremely out of sort, as if fish on land, they were nervous and rightfully so, what child can have the mental fortitude to face an emperor, soon they arrived at an office that took up almost the entire third floor, with only space left for the secretary desk, a couch and a few chair for waiting, the secretary knocked on the door announcing the arrival of Debauchery party, although she thought about why were there 2 kids with them she did not dare question a walking level B disaster. thereafter came an old voice "enter" it said, and Leader went in first followed by Bai, Fae, Leol, Yunan, Balin, Dustan, then Lucian.

Leader did not wait for the invitation to sit, and before anyone could say anything, Leader sat on a three person sofa, opposite the their perspective contractor, a middle aged man in his early forties, well dressed in a red robes, decorated with with flame patterns, on his knees rested a fluffy fox tail, the man had orange eyes and golden hair, with ears fluffier than Lucian's. beside him sat a ten year old girl who looked just like him but instead of the golden hair, hers was fiery red, she had too tails on her knees and she was clad in a golden long dress, that looked as fluffy as her ears, behind them stood one old wizened man as a protector, his leisure look indicated he did not expect danger at this moment, this helped the man and girl sitting in front of him relax a bit. behind a desk to the side of the two sofas sat an older man one can immediately tell he was the director of the academy, in mar sara city.

After leader sat down Fae led the boys to sit by the side of Leader, one on each side, then she sat on the arm rest of the sofa. behind leader stood Dustan flanked by bai and Lucian while Balin stood besides Fae his eyes on the little girl. Leader took the lead again " hello your highness, these are my teammates, Fae, Balin, Lucian, Dustan and Bai, this here is Yunan our student and his friend Leol, the ones who told you how to behave, what is it that you want from us, please be straightforward so we can be done with official business first". by now Balin was poking Fae and trying to sign something but she kept shaking her head, the three men behind them were standing like statues, while the boys were already sweating profusely.

The emperor took a look at the strange party and did not read much into their actions, he looked towards his daughter then at the director who gave him a nod, he then said "i am here to ask you to teach my daughter, i know you are not the usual kind of teachers but i was hoping that you can share some of your expertise with her, she has been chosen to be this generation dungeon explorer and i believe you can be the best choice for her". Leader did not answer immediately but looked at Yunan then said "he will explain our methods, if you think it is unsatisfactory, then please withdraw your request, we do not like to work on something without future, so unless you are 100% sure that your daughter can keep up for the next three years, please don't bother us". then she nudged Yunan, to urge him to start talking. Balin and Fae are now whispering about something with a glint of greed in their eyes.

"well it is not easy" Yunan did not know what to say " in fact it is hard, i usually need my roommate to help me back after physical classes, during intellectual classes, there is a possibility of doing things that one may consider undignifying, for example,in a chanting lesson, i had to sing nursery rhymes loudly, while a teacher was drumming totally out of tune with the rhyme i was singing. physical classes get very abusive, there will be pain and possible injuries. the lessons contain almost every useful subject in the dungeon for a normal adventurer, from planning, strategy and general scientific knowledge, to unarmed combat, melee weapons, ranged weapons, throwing skills, dodging skills and a few more. i would say it is effective and worth it, but only if you plan to stick to it, otherwise don't bother starting" Yunan ended his sentence while looking at the girl beside her father, his speech was directed at her. "we accept", said the girl with a lovely voice and her father nodded.

Leader clapped her hands and said with a crisp voice, "then we hereby accept your mission, you can negotiate the finer points with Balin here, and with this the official business is over" she then let herself go on the sofa leaning back and sighing heavily as if sitting straight for the few past minutes was so tiring to her, the same happened to the three behind her, the two young men slumped their shoulders and leaned on the sofa in front of them, while Dustan strode right to the little girl, picked her up and moved toward Fae and Balin who were already moving their hands in a groping motion, neither the stunned girl nor her father or the guardian behind them could react till the three started pawing the little girl and enjoying the fluffy tails and cute ears and flowing hair.
