The Only Aura User In Magic World

"These are…"

The king was shocked when he's reading the documents.

"What's written there are only some of the plans he wrote that I copied. There should be more inside his room. I'm here to tell you the danger that the cult this guy belong to."

"That man is lying! I belong to the kingdom! My duty is to protect the king!"

"Oh yeah? Then why are you hanging a picture of the queen in your room? Then you kissed the picture over and over again."

"What?! Eeeew!"

The queen reacted as if she's disgusted. Well, I did get disgusted as well.

"Right, Eeeew. That's the same reaction when I saw it."

"Your majesty! He's lying!"

Trying to frame me for lying, he's desperately using his magic to attack me even when he's in a difficult position. As expected for the one who became the king's secret protector.

But I'm way faster than him. I just smacked his head and he can no longer focus on his magic.

"Argh! You…!"

As I smacked his head and his magic was cancelled, the king looked at me right in the eye and said something unexpected.

"You there with the funny voice. What's your name?"

"Ninja."

"That's a lie. What's your real name?"

Somehow I feel like he can tell whether I speak lies.

"Ninja is my disguise. It's obvious that I didn't come here so my identity would be revealed. If your majesty want to find out who I am, find it yourself. And I advise you to not make it as your most important mission to find out my identity after knowing the existence of an evil organization. And even if you do find my identity, I want you to keep it a secret."

"…that's not a lie."

"Your majesty can tell?"

I asked the king how she can tell that I'm not lying.

"I have a secret that I only told to few people. My wife the queen and my sister are the only two people I can trust. It's that I can tell when someone tells a lie."

The guy I pinned down and I were so surprised to hear that the king has such a big secret. I guess that's why he found out who the traitors are in my past life.

I guess I need to test him.

"I'm the most handsome man in the world."

"…that's not a lie. My lie detecting ability can only work with feelings not the fact. If you feel you're the most handsome man in the world, my ability won't react because it was based on your own feeling. Other than your name, there's no lies coming out of your mouth."

"That's awesome! By the way, me being handsome is a fact."

"I doubt that. In the end, it's just personal preferences. What about your voice?"

"Well, it's actually a kind of magic."

"Magic, magic, magic, Maagiiic!"

"Wait, what?!"

Somehow Victoria suddenly… singing? Why would she start singing at this moment!

I have prepared many things for the report to the king and now all of them are useless!

First the peeping Tom's doing something Eeeeew to the queen's picture. Then the king's ability to detect a lie. Then suddenly Victoria started singing? What the hell?

"What was that?!"

"Not important at the moment."

"I can tell that you're not lying. Does that mean you're here with someone else? The voice is coming from you, though. Just after you said 'kind of magic'."

"Magic, magic, magic, Maagiiic!"

"There it is!"

(Shut up Victoria! Why would you start singing here?!)

I whispered to Victoria.

(I can't help it, okay! It's some kind of rule coming from my world!)

(It's a different world now so don't do that!)

Can't she just be quiet at this serious moment? I was about to tell the king more about the cult and what their plans are that I remembered. Though I don't remember much since I didn't care so it would only be little information. But with this king, I hope he can take care of the cult faster now.

"Albert. I can't sleep if you're this loud. You can detect lies so can you trust this Ninja?"

"Sorry, dear. But you're right. If he wants to kill us, he could have done it easily without alerting us. I think I can trust him."

"Then go discuss it somewhere else. He found a hidden room with my picture, right? I want you to go there, find more evidence, and burn down that picture."

Whoa the queen just giving order to the king! I guess now I know who the real boss in the royalties is now.

"But what about your security? I can't just leave you here alone."

"Ah! Actually I have the ability to see through things. So I can check on her even when we're in another room. That's also why I know what this peeping Tom doing before he came here."

"…that's not a lie but a rather disturbing ability."

The king is a bit disturbed about my vision ability. Well, that's obvious when he has a beautiful wife.

"Don't worry. I'm not into married women."

"But you're a man as well. So you still interested in beauties, right?"

"Albert. Does that mean if you have his eyes, you will…"

"Let's chat in another room! How do we get there?"

The king is still a man after all.

"Wait a moment. I need to bring this guy as well. I need to dislocate his bones so he can't move."

"What?!"

The guy tried to protest but I'm much stronger than him. I need to bring him for questions and also just in case he tried to cast magic again.

Now the things I practiced all night since yesterday can no longer work. It all ended up with me needed to do more improvisation. But at least I gained the king's trust. Just because I never told a lie other than my own name.

I cover the mouth of the guy I pinned down and started to dislocate every joints. Even the fingers.

There's still a muffled scream but the queen never looked away from him. She's quite a scary lady.

"We can go there from the ceiling. If your majesty put a chair on the desk, you should be able to reach there."

"…you're doing such a scary things in front of the king and the queen, then you gave an order to the king?"

"Just go, Albert! I don't want the noise to bother my baby. Oh, since Ninja can see-through things, then can you check on my baby?"

"…I'll do it later."

"Great! Now, go!"

We climbed to the ceiling and crawl in the hidden passage.

After listening to the king, it seems like the guy I pulled in the hidden passageway with cloth covering his mouth is called Tim. So he's a peeping Tim not peeping Tom, huh?

"And? Why did you trust me enough to tell me your secret? As for this guy, I think I know the reason. His life is numbered already and dead man tell no tales. That's why you're not afraid of him telling anyone."

"You're right. As for you, it was because you didn't tell any lies. At the court, many people tells lies. And I can't find the truth on my own. Then you came and put some of the puzzle pieces. I think I'm getting a clearer picture of what's going on."

"I see. Oh? We're here. Let's enter the room."

We soon reached the room where the one who should be responsible to the king's protection and the king's secret agency live.

I say should because Tim was doing the opposite of it.

As soon as we entered the room, the picture of Queen Marie greeted us. And the king burn it without hesitation.

"Ah! I forgot that it will be hard for us to breathe if I start a fire in enclosed space!"

"Don't worry about that."

"You're… not lying. I don't know how you do it but there's no smell of smoke at all."

Of course it was because of air magic. If I told him how amazing air element actually is, then he can narrow my identity into someone who can use air element really well. And I think I'm the only one in the world who can do that. Or at least in the whole kingdom. And in the present since many people in the past can do many things with air element. And if there's no one else who came from another world like Victoria who knows what air element can do.

"Alright. Now since the picture has been burnt, I'll show you where the rest the evil organization's plans are. I think that most of them are just Tim's own plan. But some of them are things that I know."

I show him some paper with plans to destroy several cities including Melk. Then I told him the possibilities of aristocracy involved in the plans. Though I didn't say who because I have no evidence.

"All of these are his plans?"

"Yes. Although I only know some of them will happen. I don't know about everything else. And there's not a single contributor's name written in the plans so we don't know any other traitor."

"But you can see if there's anyone who has explosive devices inside their mouth. You decided they are from the cult."

"Yes. Although I don't know if those with higher positions in the cult has the same device inside their mouth or not. But at least those who have it are considered evil to me."

"I see. I think I know some people in the court who should be involved with some of these plans. They lie a lot and it's disgusting because my ability always activated around them."

"Just interact with them like usual. I know you're smart enough to take care of those things if you want to."

"Is that why you're telling all of these? So I can take care of everything?"

"Yes. I'm just one man and so are you. But you're a king. You can do many things I can't. That's why I want you to know all of these things."

"How do you know about all these stuffs?"

Should I make up some stories? I don't think so. If he knows I'm lying, there's a chance that he won't trust me anymore. I'll just give him a hint then. If he's smart, he would notice what I mean.

"This is not my first time."
