Chapter 273: From "oh no" to "oh f-"

=Hold up, is our lord doing the "devilish dealmaker" schtick again?=

<Not exactly...I think he's pretending to be the "puppet master" that he said taught him how to make Nepherage and the others...wait, does that mean he's pretending to be us?>

=I don't think so...anyways, I'm surprised our lord this time around is being so careful about people knowing his identity...well, sorta careful. Our last lord was very loud and proud about it.=

<To be fair, one knows because he made Nepherage from her, the other ran into him at a very inopportune time and the last one can read minds. Also, don't worry, I made sure to throw up the barrier this time.>

=Excellent...so you think his ruse will work?=

<Ehhhh, that depends on how easily gullible and/or spookable this guy is.>

=Right...you ready for showtime?=

[Si seniors y senoritas, and Frosttusk and Nepherage even helped to prepare an escape route.]

[Took...awhile...]
