"What a guy! He deserves a lot of points. If it wasn't for his lack of personality, I'd say he reminds me of myself when I was his age. A true innovator."
Linjos had many things to say, none nice, but chanting the spell kept his mouth busy.
- "What you call lack of personality is just human decency. Or at least a pretense of it. If I had two Manohars, I'd run away from the Kingdom as fast as I can." He thought –
The spell was completed just in time. One of Raynart's cousins woke up letting out an inhuman scream right after the fourth needle had pierced his skin. Jirni quickly and painlessly removed them all at once.
The temporary relief from pain would only make what was about to come more terrifying.
"What? Where am I?" The boy asked.
"Jirni Ernas, royal constable of his Majesty service." She handed him her badge and royal ID, speaking with a machine like demeanor.
"I'm also the mother of the girl you attempted to r*pe." As soon as the boy understood his situation, rage twisted her visage in a cruel mask, making him wet himself.
"With your uncle's criminal record and what they have found on you, it's in my rights to interrogate you how I best see fit." She took out of her dimensional amulet a leather roll, that contained a lot of sharp tool of curious shape and forms.
"So, we can do this the easy way, or the painful way. As a constable, I hope you'll pick the former. As a mother, I hope you pick the latter."
Gorgus Pontus's fight or flight instinct kicked in and immediately tried to escape, only to discovered he was chained hands and feet to the bed. He then tried to chant a tier three lightning, but a fist as small as powerful struck his jaw dislocating it.
"Thank you so much!" Jirni chirped happily.
"I actually lied before. I can't use these tools on a kid just for drug possession. Or better, I couldn't. Assaulting a royal constable is a capital crime instead. Why do you think I left your chains so loose?" She giggled, making Manohar hide again while Linjos felt the urge to puke.
"Let's play!"

None remained to spectate the questioning, but Jirni recorded everything and used a silencing device to prevent even a single whisper from escaping her control. She had never needed Linjos's help, Jirni had simply exploited the situation to put both the Headmaster and the healing god to test.Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.ReadNovelFull.com for visiting.
Manohar creeped her out. In a way, he was like Jirni, but lacked any form of common sense and most importantly, he had no constraints.
- "I have to get him married. His fear of motherly figures could be our only hope to controlling him. I already pity that poor girl though."–
After being 'persuaded' a little, Gorgus told her everything. Starting from the five Ws about that night accident to all the dirt he knew about his family and all of his parents' plans.
His brother, Sothes, did the same. The problems arose when she tried to wake up Raynart. Even after six needles, he was still unconscious. Jirni checked his pulse and heartbeat before stopping the procedure.
- "He does feel pain, simply it's not enough. Damn, to push things further I need a healer. Otherwise he may die of shock. I won't let him take the easy way out!"–
When Raynart finally recovered, Jirni needed to sedate him to avoid Raynart hurting himself. As soon as he recovered his senses, he went into a seizure like she had never seen before.
Much to Jirni's dismay, he answered all her questions while under the effects of the narcotic. His story was similar to that of the other two boys, but filled with unbelievable details like shadows coming to life or mystical eyes piercing his very soul.
Normally she wouldn't believe a word, blaming his delirium on the shock that had sent him into a coma. Too many things didn't add up though.
- "The insane amount of knowledge, him surviving an attack that killed an elite squad of the Queen's corps, his contribution to the plague, surviving a group of assassins, and now this? If this was about anyone else, I would shrug off Raynart's words like a bad dream.
I got the feeling that both the background check on Lith and the Queen haven't told me everything. I hate being kept in the dark. Looks like Lith and I need to have a little chat."–
Before walking out of the hospital, Jirni removed all the pain medications from the three boys' system, leaving behind a disposable silencing device so that no one would notice their screams.
