Death Guns In Another World

After ordering wine the two drink two cups each before she asked,

''Alex what's your goal?"

Alex did not immediately answer, he stayed silent a couple of seconds before asking back.

''Why did you ask that?"

''You want to know what I want and I want to know your goal,'' Leena answered.

Alex heaved a sigh and says, ''I want to be the strongest.''

''Why did you want to be the strongest?" Leena immediately asked.

''For myself and for people I care about. Simple as that.''

Hearing Alex's words Leena smiled as if satisfied with what she heard.

''Good to know.'' Leena praised then she said,

''You know I came into this town Five years ago with a goal in mind.''

''Which was?" Alex asked.

''I was waiting for someone and you came-"

''Wait you mean you waiting for me? That doesn't make any sense.'' Alex said not believing her.

''It does if you know the whole story. Or do you perhaps think I'm senile or making up a story? No, none of that. I came into this specific for a specific reason which is you. The moment I saw you I knew you are made to be extraordinary, that you are the one I was waiting for. My five years here were not wasted, they didn't lie when they said you'll appear here.'' Leena explained.

''Wait a minute you aren't implying it is because of some prophecy you stayed here waiting for my arrival do you?" Alex asked because by the way she talked it sounds like she was here because of some prophecy.

Leena's eyes widened a little before she smiled,

''Smart, I won't go into details now but all you need to know is that I'm here for you. I'll need your help in the future, for the moment continue doing what you are doing, become the strongest. I'll be watching over you, I don't want you to work for me, even I said I'll need your help in the future it's more like we will be helping each other.'' She stopped before continuing after drinking another cup of wine.

''I want to be your support and believe me you'll need it because you are going into the capital. You may say you don't want to be swept into their little throne game but it will be hard if you don't have anyone as a backer. Maria and the other girls refused the First Prince's invitation and thought they'll do fine on their own. They indeed did, but for some time, nowadays it becomes harder because they are harassed by both factions, it won't have happened if they had a backer.''

Alex's eyes widened at the news and when he wanted to ask how they were coping with the situation Leena smiled and answered first.

''Don't worry, they are doing fine. I got to say that girl Maria is smart. Nobody expected that move from her, the Headmistress of the Imperial Academy, an old friend of mine saw her potential and before she could ask her to be her disciple, she accepted with the condition of adding the other two. My friend accepted because Maria's talent for Ice magic is rare, she's Otherworlder with a high-level Gift, beside the other two talents are dreadful as her. It's her win. This happened three days ago.''

Alex smiled in turn, he was not too surprised by Maria's move, he would have done the same thing if he was in her shoes. Those three have always been together since kindergarten it seemed, they are best friends, their bond is strong, so strong that rumor started spreading in their High school. It was said that if you manage to win the head's heart, it was to say Maria's heart, you'll win the other two.

Naturally, it was a joke, nobody truly believed it. Still, it was to show how strong and close the three were, for proof, Maria's dad is a gang leader, more accurately a Mafia's Leader, Sakuya's father was his right-hand man while Luna's father was the Family's lawyer. The three fathers were close, firstly because of their jobs and secondly because they were friends back in their school days. So, it was natural for their children to stick together.

''It's good,'' Alex said happy for them.

''I know, now I'm offering you the same chance. I want to be your backer, with me others will not harass you too much. Naturally, my position is high and I have a lot of strong friends. I will not protect but my name will scare away people who have bad intentions toward you. And I hope you didn't forget you insulted the princess on your first meeting do you?"

Hearing this question Alex's brows twitched, indeed he had insulted the princess back then because he didn't like the way she acted. He was not surprised Leena also learned this.

''Knowing her, she will not let the matter slip as if nothing happened. It's not good for her image considering she was vying for the throne. She had tried to seal the news but it's still slipped. In the capital few people learned that one of the Otherworlders insulted her, it's the one with the useless and sealed Gift. They heard you are coming into the capital. Sons of powerful families are waiting to make your life harder than hell just to please the Second Princess simply because she is in the lead for the race for the throne. She didn't need to do anything, others will do what she wants in her stead. You may say you can skip the academy, believe me, I won't suggest this option and even if you were to skip it, whenever you go people will be after you. You haven't noticed anything here because it was my doing, if not because of my doing, a bunch of Adventurers would be harassing you since the day you set foot here. I stopped them but I guess not all heard my warning, some idiots still come after you. Glad you have taken care of them by yourself.''

This revelation left Alex surprised, to think Diaz challenged him on someone else order.

〖It makes sense. I was wondering why nobody made a move because the princess spies are aware of your location. You haven't noticed this but the coachman back then was one of them, he whispered something to someone when you were leaving, it was your location, don't you remember your conversation with him?〗

Silveria who had stayed silent until now asked.

'I do. I said I would stay for a couple of days, maybe a month if the city was welcoming and it was there he said I must stay because the city was very welcoming and secure. Never would I have thought he said all of these things to make me stay like this the Princess's men would have made a move. I'm glad Leena had made it impossible. I'd completely forgotten this after not seeing anybody come after me, I had thought-'

〖You have thought she will only when you are in the capital. You were wrong, you haven't noticed because Leena took care of it. You should be grateful and carefully consider her offer. It's not a bad thing to have her as a backer. She won't mistreat you, do not forget you have Gracier with you. If you want to be always on good terms with her better rally Gracier to your cause. You know what I mean. As for her needing your help in the future don't worry, it will be beneficial for you because I have an idea what it could be, do not ask because you are too weak, it won't do any good if you know it now, you will know in due time just focus on the present moment.〗Silveria offered her opinion.

'I know don't worry, I'll take care of it once back.' Alex promised Silveria before turning to face Leena who was waiting for him.

"Thank you for the help I truly appreciate it.''

''You welcome. What your answer gonna be?" She asked with a smile.
