Creator of Death: True Darkness
The Three Successors of Koga: Bargaining

Alvan's eyes twinkled.

"Earth magic, Construction" said Alvan. A step later, the surrounding land seemed to rise up in formation and form a human-like sculpture from the ground.

'Yosh! With this it is only to enter his memory crystal.'

He reached into his pants pocket and picked up a tennis-sized crystal ball with a golden glow. With a little effort, he broke the glass ball in the middle of a bunch of statues.

Crash it!

The ball broke out emitting smoke and an illusionary aroma.

"Who is it!" Saying a heavy voice.

"Hmm? Is there a rat here?" Ask a light voice later.

"Well, incidentally," Alvan lifted his hood and with a little effort, he ran hastily.

"B- Boss! There! There's patrols!" Alvan pretended to be panicked. He is seen pointing to the wall where the statue of the land is located.

"What did you say!? Tskkk! Damn it" the burly man and a middle-aged man with a knife then ran towards where Alvan pointed.

"Tsk. The second prince of Koga was indeed amazing" a light voice shocked Alvan.

He then turned his face in various directions, as if he was looking for something.

"Stop pretending, prince Alvan, or your father's precious jade will be destroyed" said one man with the same accent as any other man.

"Sighs. Inconveniencing. Who exactly are you?" Alvan asked suspiciously.

"Oh? It is an honor for me that this unknown is being questioned by prince after dwarf"

"Say what you want!" Fierce asking.

"Well, the items that have been taken cannot be returned. Buy your stuff" said the man sneaky.

"Tch! You kidding!?"

"No, I'm not kidding, at least buy it for a fair price, right?"

Alvan's gaze froze at a shadowy figure. He was a 10-year-old boy in a black robe and multiple bruises on his face. He looked a little sad and desperate.

"Alright, on condition of freeing the boy"

"How much?

'Kuh! Can't this guy compromise huh!?' Grouse Alvan in the heart

"Ti three thousand gold coins!" Answer Alvan clumsy.

Without the man noticing, Alvan's slight bead of eyes seemed to move as if beckoning the child. The boy noticed it, he looked up his face and his brown eyes looked wide.

"Kekeke, don't joke. Your Excellency Alvan, are you playing me!? Don't you have money right now?"

"You shit! You know that I don't have any money but I'm still asking me to buy!" Alvan said.

Swoshis!

"Keugh! Damnit damnit! The boy ran away!"

The man reacts, trying to chase after the boy, but is prevented by Alvan.

"We still have business here" said Alvan sharp.

"Tch!" The man screeched in annoyance.

"Your majesty..What do you think is the equivalent price for this pact? Three grand? Six grand? Or three hundred thousand. Know you? I can get it easily without you."

Alvan gasped, "A what do you mean!?"

"yeah. I think if I sell it to Baal's palace, they'll give me ten times more than you'd have offered, and maybe even I can become one of the nobles there."

"A what? Are you really that low? He is a demon!?"

"What if he was a demon? As long as he gives me an advantage, then I will follow him with pleasure"

"Tch. Where is your pride as a human being"

"Sufuku. What's the point of self-respect if you don't have any possessions, huh? But, I guess if you want to give me honor in your power, I can consider it. And again, I can help you get rid of your sister"

"Haha, what did you say? You want me to get rid of my sister huh? Don't dream! Not once in your life have I allowed you to touch them!"

"Tch. It's boring! Well, I guess I really should call Baal's palace"

'Shit! This collaboration is too important! I can't just let go of it, it's all about the lives of so many people in Koga.'

"Tu wait!"

"Hmm?"

"Give me that jade, from now on you're a Koga noble!" Alvan said sharply.

"Kekeke, you're really smart, your Excellency Alvan" the man chuckled.

"But I only have a deal with you, not with those two fools" Alvan said.

"False! Who cares, your Highness Alvan"

"You!? You don't even care about your friend?" Alvan's eyebrows are wrinkled complicated.

"Well, even if I have to live by eating them, I don't mind at all"

"If so, give me the jade!"

"Hoo, do you still want to play with me, your majesty? I mean, well. There's no evidence you gave a peerage, right?"

"Then what do you want to hear!" Alvan said.

"Ah, with your current power, don't you have the right to ask your Highness Alph to send you a carriage? That way I can come to the kingdom early and at the same time you can get this jade, which you.."

The slap!

A dagger darted quickly snatched the man's hand. Alvan dodged and took a few steps back.
