Arpious of the Planes
Chapter 435 Kingdom Of Frost Rabbits (2)

We didn't know how currency worked here or how valuable it was, so we just didn't open our mouths again.

And surprisingly, the men behind us didn't bug us until we actually entered the beautiful capital, which was buzzing with various jobs, families, and citizens.

"It stinks," Loath suddenly muttered, and I glanced at her with a confused expression.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It stinks of miasma… there is tons of corruption in this city. Not only that, I bet there are various crimes happening throughout each and every dark alleyway. I wouldn't be surprised if we found a dead body in the next alleyway," Loath muttered before covering her nose with her left hand.

I turned my head to the succubus, now frost rabbit, and she didn't show many reactions, meaning she was probably used to this.

"Well, we should replace a place to stay," I muttered, and we soon walked through at least half of the capital by the end of the day.

"Ugh, let's just get a more high-quality one with attendants and shit," The succubus complained, and so we made our way back towards the very center of the capital.

In the distance, we saw a large palace made of pure white stone and golden caps, shining brightly like its very own sun.

It was almost blinding as we made our way to the top-tier inn.

But, just as we were about to enter, we felt a chill get sent down our spine, and slowly we turned towards an alleyway just off of the outside of the grand and fancy hotel.

,m "Both of you take Arpious inside. I'm sure you won't have any trouble creating the fake currency, right?" I asked the succubus, who quickly nodded her head.

As they entered the large hotel, I faded into a pile of light particles and appeared in the alleyway, completely devoid of presence.

I was behind the assholes watching us, but they still didn't realize I was there.

[Collar of The Blistering Sun]

Suddenly, seven chains of light erupted from my hand and stuck small knives into the back of all of these bandit's necks.

As their napes gushed blood, collars of light formed around them, and even as they tried to scream, nothing came out of their mouths.

When they turned towards me, they attempted to try and kill me but were stopped by a barrier of light, and their collar began to choke them until they admitted defeat.

"Three women, four men… I wonder what will happen if I report you? Since there is so much corruption, you all might be set free instantly," I muttered with a smile.

They all glared at me intently, probably hoping for my word to actually come true, but…

"I can just make you into my mindless slaves," I muttered before snapping my hand, causing the collars to break their necks.

As they all limply fell to the ground, the collars were absorbed into their skin, and their white pupils all began to shimmer a dim gold, causing their bodies to rise as if they were possessed by a ghost or evil spirit.

Soon, they stood right up again, silent and expressionless, but with another snap of my fingers, their former personalities were imported back into their brains, and they looked like the everyday bandit once again.

Their glare was still there, but the undying loyalty implanted into their souls wasn't going to disappear any time soon.

"Now, tell me everything you know about this place,"

…

(Loath POV)

"Yes, we would like a single room with two beds, please. One big one and one regular sized," The succubus requested and slid an illusion of a bag of gold across the table.

It was so convincing that we managed to obtain the room with ease, but the unconscious Arpious on my back drew the attention of a single knight who was serving as a guard.

"Excuse me, but may I check up on this woman?" He asked as it probably looked like we drugged her and were about to do things… weird things.

"Of course. Also, do you think you can tell us what might've happened to her?" I requested just to make sure he wouldn't pull anything fishy.

"Hmmm… Okay… Okay… Yep, she's still alive but just unconscious. She seems very exhausted, and I recommend you bring her to the hotel's very own infirmary. She might be able to tell why she is unconscious,"

"Will do later. Just let us unpack… see ya," I said, and we parted ways from the guard and made our way to one of the penthouses.

Apparently, with the amount of gold the succubus handed over, we were able to access one of the three most luxurious penthouses in the entire kingdom.

I didn't like how the receptionist upgraded us with the extra money without even asking, but I guess it's partially our fault for not being more careful in such a disgusting city… not that the money was real anyway.

It shouldn't disappear until a few weeks later, so we should be fine for the foreseeable future. When we reached the top door, we showed the two guards at the door our crest, and they quickly let us in.

The inside of the penthouse was amazing and even had its own sort of pool/bathtub smack in the middle of the room.

Small streams ran from this pool and spread water throughout the entire room… and that was just the first room.

The next room over, there was a massive wall of glass with a double glass door that led to an amazing balcony which overlooked the city.

In this room was the bedroom, which was massive and a bit cramped with so many vegetative decorations.

Plants lined the walls, ceiling, and a bit of the floor.

There were also many other rooms, such as the bathrooms, workout rooms, dining rooms, and even a personal kitchen, where we had our own personal chef.

On top of that, there was the personal set of three maids and three butlers attending to us twenty-four-seven.

"What a place," I chuckled as it was a different shift from my pale wood castle inside one of the biggest elven trees in existence.
