[XEROLINE] ZERO DIMENSION Part 1
Chapter 12's

The group of mercenaries is hired by Eduas Dawer to look after him and also to kill those he thinks are bothering him. The group of hitmen has besieged Rosalia Ethelwish, Recca Celestial and Helix Liniar in the living room.

“Hahaha.... Although you are heroes, but you will not be able to win against this many numbers!”

Eduas Dawer did not expect that he could defeat the hero with his power. But Eduas Dawer does not know one thing.

“Laugh as you like! You are crazy enough to use your wealth as your strength. Though you are the one who hides from behind the shadow of your ancestors.”

“Hai, Slave! You are just a child. And you'll be the first one I kill. Attack them!”

Eduas Dawer langsug orders the group of assassins to kill the heroes in front of them. Without a doubt, they attacked even though they knew it was a very bad thing to do.

“Helix make cover, and Recca take cover behind Helix.”

Rosalia Ethelwish advances alone against the mercenary group. Within seconds, all of the assassins were defeated without a single person dying. And also Rosalia Ethelwish returned to her normal form, and pointed Roseford's sword towards Eduas Dawer.

Eduas Dawer was immediately shocked to death, because the person he thought was a slave due to the clothes and seals on his neck turned out to be the Holy Queen.

“Your Majesty, I am very sorry. Can you lower your weapon?”

“Sorry... What the hell are you saying? I didn't hear any detail from your mouth.”

Rosalia Ethelwish never pointed her weapon at her own people, but if a citizen of her kingdom made a mistake in plain sight, then it was a death sentence for transgression.

“Rosa, can you lower your weapon?”

“Hmm...”.

“Iya, I will give all my wealth to the government. So please lower your weapon.”

“Hmm...”.

Rosalia Ethelwish is still pointing her weapon at Eduas Dawer, and it is still not calmed. Then he gave two choices to Eduas Dawer.

“I'll you second chance.”

“Oh... Thanks though. So..”

“Two choices, i.e., I want you to release all the slaves and pay your mistake with wealth then I will release you, but if you do not carry them out then the goddess of death will pick you up.”

“Good. I'll do it.”

Rosalia Ethelwish lowered her weapon, and then retreated a few steps away from Eduas Dawer. Eduas Dawer immediately went to the document room to take out the contracts of the slaves while being supervised by Helix Liniar.

Arriving there. Helix Liniar asked Eduas Dawer, who was agitated and frightened, and was looking for documents on the contracts of the slaves in his residence.

“Why do you nobles want slaves so badly? Don't you guys have feelings?”

“We are not not not feeling, but the slaves do not need a lot of salary to do something according to the order of their master.”

“That's not the answer I want. So why?”

“Good... I'll tell you. We buy slaves for pleasure only, and they can also be bought on the black market not far from here. Many nobles do the selling of slaves on the black market, and then they hide in various ways.”

“Then will the slave feel happy?”

“I'm not too sure.”

“You should know for yourself, because you are the one who bought them and hired them without caring for them.”

“If you say that, indeed you were once a slave, Mr. Hero.”

“I was born to the mother of a slave and the father of a nobleman who never thought of us as family. I don't know why my mom still wants to be with that bastard, but she keeps hurting my mom from morning till night. Are you the same or not?”

Helix Liniar never felt upset at him, because he told his past to the wrong people.

“Hah.... I can just shut up. After all this, I will definitely be judged even though His Majesty gave me a second chance.”

“How do you know?”

“That's just my assumption.”

“So if the slaves were released, would they talk about their lives in this residence?”

“So you know also with the contents of the slave contract.”

“.....”

“Iya, I'll be done soon.”

After collecting the documents of the slave contracts in his residence, he immediately returned to the guest room. But when he got to the front of the room, his head was immediately cut off by a stranger.

“Wow... Sorry, I was not accidentally.”

Rosalia Ethelwish sees the stranger as reminiscent of someone who saved her from a fight with Edward Demostra. And the others saw directly pointing their weapons at the stranger.

“Who are you? What are you doing?”

“Wadd... It's rude of you to point your weapon at me, outcast.”

“What did you say?”

The Recca Celestial was furious when there was someone who knew of his identity in the past. Only the closest people should know about the call.

“Tenace.... We don't want a dispute for now.”

“But he who started first.”

“I know, but he was the one who defeated the Great King.”

“No way, that person you told me about.”

The Recca Celestial still did not believe that the person was the one who could defeat the Great King who was said to be invincible during his reign.

“So then why is a person like you here?”

“Sorry only. But I'm not the person you think I am.”

“Do not lie! If you're not him, why do you have a face that looks like him?”

“Rossa Demonstra, I don't want to answer your question. And I know what you're thinking now.”

How could he know by my real name in my first life. No one knows this name but Edward. Did he know about me. But to what extent.

“I know how your life story from zero to now. From a feisty girl to being a traitor who betrayed her own friend.”

“I told you, I know what you think.”

Rosalia Ethelwish wanted to ask the stranger again, but she knew the more she asked the more the truth about him would be leaked by the stranger.

“Good. Hand the body over to you.”

“This piglet will not be useful for you. Even if you cover this murder from the family and from other nobles, I will divulge the secret.”

“Hey, exactly what do you want?”

Recca Celestial yells and wants to find out why the stranger killed Eduas Dawer, because he knows that the stranger has nothing to do with Eduas Dawer.

“Hmm..... Outcasts like you should be able to know, but what is thought of the one who always wanted that power is tricking.”

“What! You insult me, Hah!”

“A person who is easily emotional and can make others emotional as well. It is a talent worth appreciating. But your strength is not said to be very strong.”

“Damn.... Can you shut up! [Fire Art : Fireball ].”

Recca Celestial who could not hold back her anger anymore. He directly attacked the stranger with a fireball attack. But the attack was useless to the stranger, because it redeemed his body. And then the attack just smashed the wall behind him.

“Sial! Why aren't you hurt?”

“I told you earlier that your strength is very weak, stupid.”.

“Sialan..”.

Before the Recca Celestial was about to unleash another attack, he was restrained by his two friends. They both know that strangers are not just people.

“They are young, calm down first. He's just provoking us so he can divert the conversation.”

“How can I calm down? He insulted me and Rosa. And why aren't you insulted as well, Huh?”

“Helix Liniar has a darker past than your past, Recca Celestial. He without the help of insiders and trying hard can be in the front row. But how do you. You are always next to Rossa Demonstra which means because you can be in the front row, because your friendship is not your hard work.”

“What did you say?”

“Quiet, Recca!”

“Calm down, Young Madam! Don't listen to his words.”

The two of them calmed back the Recca Celestial who again looked annoyed at the stranger who compared his past to others, and then insulted his hard work.

“What do you know again? Just say it, motherfucker!”

“ Wah... Look, he can't hold back his anger anymore.”

“Woy!”

“That's all I know, and the rest will be said to the person who dumped you someday.”

“What? Talk right, motherfucker!”

“Quiet, Recca.”

They could do nothing but appease the Recca Celestial so as not to attack the stranger again and not to make a riot between them. Helix Liniar thinks how they know the stranger's purpose.

What should we do now..... I can't do anything about it, because it's my duty to protect His Majesty and also the young Madam from that person. I don't know how strong that guy is. But I'm sure he's very strong, because His Majesty won't attack people before he knows how strong that person is.

“How do we make a deal with”

“What deal do you want? I definitely won't break the deal.”

“Good. I just want you to hand over the body, and then get out of here.”

“Then what profit do I get, if I follow your agreement?”

“I know you are not a person who is easily tempted by wealth and power. So I thought you were the one who determined your own profit.”

“It was very nice. How about this one thing only?”

The stranger unintentionally showed a terrible smile towards them. Those who saw that suspicious expression, they immediately stood guard if anyone harmed them.

“if you guys go from here now, then I won't move instantly and forcefully. That's all it is. And then what about you guys?”

“Alright! We'll get out of here, and you're free to do anything with the body. But I want you to answer the truth. Do you know the man who saved me?”

“Cih... A stubborn person like you, Rossa Demonstra is a troublesome person only. Just sorry, he and I have been in long contact forever.”

“Good...”.

Rosalia Ethelwish wanted to know the name of the person who had helped her at the time. But he felt very disappointed that someone who looked like that person was not the same person, and the stranger did not tell the person's name for a reasonable reason.

“But Rosa.... We won't leave his body here.”

“iya, I know. But...”

“Before you guys get out of here, I want to ask. Why do you need the dead body of a greedy pig so badly? Isn't five tie rats enough for you?”

He was very curious as to why they needed the corpse of the Edual Dawes so badly.  Though he himself was already disgusted by the appearance of Edual Dawes who did not look like an authoritative noble.

“This is our business. You also didn't answer why you needed the body, did you?”

“Already, Recca.”

“Rosa, we won't tell him. Really, Helix?”

“True. As the young Madam said, His Majesty does not need to tell us why we need the noble's corpse.”

“Ah... Whatever, you guys. Sorry, yes.”

“Nothing, Rossa Demonstra.”

The three of them walked out of the meeting room towards the front door, and they passed by the stranger and the corpse of Edual Dawes. But when Rosalia Ethelwish was right next to a stranger, she was whispered something.

“Trust. The Demonstra tribe will be able to return to their homes again.”

“Thanks. That's what we trust.”

Rosalia Ethelwish knew very well what was whispered to her, as they had been waiting and kept waiting and hoping that they could return to their original home very far away.

After they exited the residence, they saw the servants as well as the knights waiting at the door with puzzling expressions. Those who understand what's happening. So they told the fishermen and the knights what was happening inside the residence and also said that it was freedom.
