The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 997: To Bathe Together

"Albert, there are two maids here who seem to be afraid of something. Really afraid. Seem like they were forced to do something. Even if it’s you who hired them, they’re still human whose feeling can change. Maybe they’re being threatened? Whatever the case, those two are way too suspicious," I said.

Then I told him about the appearances of the two maids so he knew who I’m talking about. While Alan and Lana are with Marie. Being very calm right now even though this situation meant that the royal palace is being infiltrated easily. They must be calm because I’m here.

"Those two were the ones I hired years ago. They could be trusted. But if they’re being threatened, I guess it’s possible for them to betray us. For now, we have to check if they’re being forced to betray us. But if they’re being nervous for some other reason, if possible, I want to help them," Albert said.

"Then is there a way for them to tell us if they’re being forced to do something? There’s a chance that their lives were at stake. At least I didn’t see any kind of monsters around them," I said.

Even if there’s a monster that can turn invisible, I believe that I could still see them with my Divine Vision. There’s no one who can escape from my sight. Unless they can teleport or move with portals.

If it’s teleportation, then I won’t be able to know where they’re going. But if it’s using portal, if I’m lucky, then I could recognize the landscape and find out where they’re going to. But among the thing that I can’t trust, I can’t really trust my brain to remember such things. That’s why it’s up to luck.

There are no monsters around them. But if there’s a device that can be used for long-distance communication, in a form of something that I can miss like clothes or accessories, then it could be dangerous if we approached them without a plan.

"What if we ask Sonia to talk to them? But they don’t know that Sonia is our ally. So it could get worse instead. And it’s not like the cult can create a device for long-distance communication, right?" Albert asked.

"Actually, using the current technology, it’s possible to create it. But it only goes one way. So those devices might be used for listening while the ones who wear those devices won’t be able to hear from the other side. They might be inspired by the TV. Though with the Professor captured, I think it will take a few more years for them to be able to mass-produce it," Marie said.

But it’s still a possibility that such device has been created by the cult, right? Then there’s nothing we can do right now other than trying our best. Approach them and ask them directly hoping that the worst won’t come.

If the cult has created such device, then it’s obvious where they will place them at. The kingdom’s royal palace. Not just Tatrama, but also other countries.

"I don’t think it’s something worth gathering everyone for. I’ll just tell them on the phone to be careful of any strange object near them. If we let our researchers be the one to conduct the investigation for every single object here, I think anything strange will be found easily. I will also get them to at least investigate my bedroom first. I’ll do it after we finish our business with the maids," Albert said.

"If it’s a plan, I have one," Marie said.

We listened to Marie’s plan and both Albert and I were shocked to hear her plan.

One hour later, we have finished checking one room thoroughly. We didn’t bring any researcher here. Just Marie alone is enough. And I just checked for any other strange object in that room.

The room we’re talking about is the bathroom. And Marie’s idea was to have nude interaction with the maids. Being nude means that they don’t have any secret to keep.

"I can’t believe that my own sister-in-law just invited me to bathe with her," I said.

"She didn’t! It’s for the plan! And I still can’t believe that the women around me already so used to your Divine Vision. They even allow you to see them naked," Albert said.

The plan is for us to interrogate the maids in the large bathroom in the palace. Of course Albert and I will be there. And Mustache won’t as he will protect the door outside.

Marie said that it’s actually normal for royalty to have maids help them to bathe. It’s just that she did it rarely. So I wonder if the maids will be suspicious of her offer to help her bathe or not.

And before Marie used the bath, Albert and I entered first. Together with Alan and Lana. Though the twins will be transported to Cassau once we’re done taking a bath.

After we’re done, it will be soon that Marie enters the bathroom. So I got the twins to Cassau for safety. Kayla and the others were there, so it’s the safest place.

As for Albert and I, since we’re done, we put on our swimwear. I can’t just show my own sister-in-law my naked body even though I have seen hers. And if Albert showed his naked body to the maids, there will be no end of Marie’s scolding.

Marie didn’t just invite the two suspicious maids. She also brought some others whom Albert trust and told them that we’re going to interrogate the two maids. Albert also asked them if there’s anything suspicious happening to the two maids, but he didn’t get any answer.

Marie and the maids entered the dressing room. Once they all entered, Mustache quickly went to the door to protect it. While I watched Marie and the maids undressing.

"Don’t look too much," Albert said.

"I have to. It’s for protection. Just enter the water. I already cast air magic to let you breathe underwater for one hour," I said.

Our hiding spot is in the water. It’s the only place we can hide. And once the two maids entered the water, we will move.

Victoria will also help. I didn’t take her when I bathed with Albert and the others. But I grabbed her when I brought the twins to Cassau. It was Albert who asked to do that. He didn’t want Victoria to peek at him.

...Though it’s Victoria we’re talking about. Who knows how many times she had peeked at the men’s bathroom.

Marie and the others entered the bathroom. Finally.

She asked the two suspicious maids to check the water first. And they did it while pretending to be calm.

I didn’t see anything suspicious they carried here, so it’s fine to move.

I instantly covered the whole bathroom with air magic so our voices won’t be leaked outside. Then I grabbed the two maids before they could resist and Victoria transformed into clothes to cover their bodies and also to make sure that they won’t be able to move as they’re just beginner level mages.

Once I made my move, the other maids returned to the dressing room with Marie. Marie will check everything there if there’s anything suspicious.

Now, it’s time for interrogation.

"Good evening, ladies. I’m sorry that we had to use this means to get you. But you two have been acting suspicious for a while. So we need to make sure that everything in this place won’t be leaked to the outside. If you understand, then let’s have a peaceful talk, okay?" I said.

The two were still afraid. But they nodded their heads.

"Roy, how is it outside?" Albert asked me as he came out from the water. The two maids were shocked to see the king came out from the water wearing trunks.

"Seems like Marie found something from their clothes. Let them continue searching. Victoria, let them talk," I said to Victoria.

Victoria’s parts that were covering their mouths disappeared. Now they can talk. But they can’t move.

"You two can relax and tell me everything. This place is safe. There’s no way anything we speak here will ever get out. Now, can you tell me why you acted suspicious? If you’re being forced by someone, we will try our best to protect you," Albert said.

Even though Albert said that as kind as possible, he’s still a king. That’s what the two were thinking. Probably.

So even if these two speak, they might end up being executed for whatever they try to do. That’s why they didn’t speak at all. Or maybe it’s because of another reason.

"Albert, they couldn’t speak at all because they’re being charmed by my awesome body. What should we do?" I asked Albert.

"Whatever the reason they didn’t talk, I’m sure it’s not because of your body. What make you think you’re charming anyway?" Albert asked me.

"Between the two of us, I’m the one with a harem. I’m just that charming," I said.

"...I hate you."

"Good thing that I block our voices from getting out of this room. If Marie heard that, she will kill you thinking that you’re jealous of me having a harem and you want one of your own," I said.

"...Thank you for that, I guess."

Even as we chatted like this, the two maids still didn’t say anything at all. They’re too scared even we said that we will help them.

Now, what do we need to do to make them speak?
