chapter 3 Prince and his aide

  As we approached the city gates we were met by a carriage coming from a side road; the driver was a middle aged woman with tan skin dressed in a blue clothe dress, beside her was a man in his early twenties dressed in fancy clothing and was playing with a knife. When we approached them the man made the woman stop the carriage.

“Hello travelers do you need a ride, you can tie your cargo to the back end and ride in the back.” (Man)

“We will gladly take you up on your offer.” (Me)

 We walked over to the wagon and tied the vines to the end of the wagon then climbed in the back, once settled the carriage continued down the road. May sat beside me avoiding the man’s eyes which screamed lewdness.

“Sorry but I don’t think she likes your stare that much, but anyway I think I have something interesting for you to read if you have the time.” (Me)

“Oh and what might that be?” (Man)

“Oh just a note one of our friends over there had, such interesting information should be beneficial to you in many ways.” (Me)

                I passed him the note that had the knights orders on it and when he finished reading the note his eyes grew cold as he turned to stare at me which his cold eyes, May twitched a little seeing the change in the man.

“We can talk about it when we get some more privacy, oh and you should keep your normal mood no matter what it will help in the future.” (Me)

                Since we were at the gate already I jumped off the carriage and brought the bandits the guards telling them what happened, well most of it. I told them that the knight saw me with a bag of money and his greed got the better of him, the guards didn’t mind me keeping their equipment since I was the victim. Once we entered the city we rented a room at an Inn then went and registered as adventurers the adventurer’s guild was just like in the stories and comics one can read on the internet. The guild tested our skills after the paper work was done, since it would cause trouble for myself and the guild if we started off as a high ranking guild member we decided I would be a D rank adventurer while May was E rank because she only had strength while I had technique and strength on my side.

                After we got our guild cards we went to the blacksmith and sold the gear we looted from the bandits which came out to one gold, ten silver, and five bronze. I spent the gold coin on getting myself a good sword I didn’t have to buy May a new weapon since she is using the knights sword, when we got back to our room we saw the man and the woman sitting on the bed.

“So we meet again I wasn’t expecting to meet you so soon.” (Me)

“Who are you, and be truthful about this.” (Man)

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

“I am a concerned third party that is now working as a adventurer and she is my assistant.” (Me)

“What is your motive for informing me about this?” (Man)

“If you were killed in this country it would cause a conflict between the two countries, also I want a favor from you in the future it can be anything from buying me a drink to welcoming me into your country.” (Me)

“And what might I get out of this whole thing?” (Prince)

“We can make a contract of sorts; I know your country has been opposing this country because of its harsh treatment towards its citizens but you can’t act as a country while helping the people, I can supply you with supplies as long as you give me the right price for the goods asked for.” (Me)

“How would you get these supplies without drawing attention from the government.” (Aide)

“Do you a bronze coin on you per chance?” (Me)

“Yes in the matter of fast I do.” (Prince)

I took the coin and bought a soda with it, I handed the bottle to the prince after pulling off the cap to it. The aide tried it first to see if it was poisonous, afterward she gave the soda to the prince and he started drinking it.

“I can supply you with food, medicine, weapons, clothes, and skills depending on how much you are willing to pay.” (Me)

“Then I have a request there is a town to the south going through a famine and needs food before things get worse, I don’t have money with me but if you do this it will be a sign of friendship towards me and my country.” (Prince)

“Alright we leave tomorrow morning for now I need to prepare.”(Me)

“Alright, we will be off then.” (Prince)

“Meet me at the south gate, if I’m not there it means I am still preparing some things.” (Me)

                The prince nodded and left leaving May and me alone, I locked the door and transferred back to my world. Once there I started purchasing food and medicine left and right along with a SUV to get to the village, I had to explain the concept of a car to May which just went through one ear at least I got her to get the idea of it down. Once my prep was done we went to bed, when woke up May was sleeping on my arm again but this time I couldn’t let her sleep in. once up I grabbed my handgun from my nightstand then we transferred back over and continued to the south gate, when we got there the prince and his aid were waiting for us.

“What kept you?” (Prince)

“I had to pick up our ride; I will bring it out when we are far enough away from the city.” (Me)

They didn’t say a word and started walking, May and I followed close behind them. When we were out of the line of sight I summoned the SUV, you should have seen their faces when the SUV appeared in front of them.

“Relax it’s like a carriage but better, when you get inside there are belts for each seat you need to wear them just in case.” (Me)

“What do you mean by just in case?” (Aide)

“This SUV goes faster than a carriage, what do you think would happen to the people inside of it if we crash?” (Me)

                Their faces became pale thinking about it and the conversation didn’t continue anymore, I was the one that drove since no one else knew how; I followed the prince’s directions until we could see the village in the distance. Once we were close enough we got out of the SUV and continued towards the village, when we got there we found skeleton-like guards sitting at the entrance without the strength to move. How could anyone let it get this bad, I need to act fast before the loss of life!
