I finally had what I came here for and it was worth it. I managed to get both a poison and an alchemist subclass.

I walked towards the tavern where we were supposed to meet up. On the way I saw as all people were going in one direction with some medical supplies. Some of the women were even saying their goodbyes to their husbands, sons and brothers.

With all that Dungeon diving I already forgot there was this war ongoing. Well never mind, it's not like I can do anything about it.

I arrived at the tavern and Stella was still in her armour pacing around. I creeped up from behind her and jumped on her back.

" Missed me?" I said as I hugged her helmet making her unable to see.

" What are you doing Raven. The others can see us."

" I'm riding my knight or do you prefer if I ride you somewhere else?"

" Why the happy mood? Something good happened?" She said as she stopped trying to resist and let me do what I wanted.

" Everything went well I know some Alchemy now. I also have some skin products for you if you want and a tip for milky white skin. But I'm not sure it'll help you as you look good tanned." At my comments she just held her head.

" Okay let's go in and eat and I'll tell you what I found out."

We went inside and got the today's special. It was a roasted duck with potatoes. We both ordered beer as they had no stronger alcohol. A let down being one of the town's better taverns.

" So, what did you manage to find out?" I said as a waitress brought our food.

" I found out the exact places where they are kept. And even purchased one girl so as not to seem suspicious. I now have a slave contract with her." I stared at Stella the duck's leg still in my mouth.

" You did what?"

" As I said I found their hideout."

" No, I mean after that."

She fiddled with her fingers as she glanced at me.

I swung myself on the chair. Pondering on the possibility of splitting my skull by doing so.

" Where's she now?" I said my arms interlocked as I looked at Stella.

" She's upstairs in our room. She was tired, mainly mentally so I sang her off to sleep."

" I shouldn't have given you that much money. But one makes mistakes to better oneself. I think I won't be forgetting this lesson any time soon." I sighed.

" So, what's the problem. I'm also your slave. You can just take another one."

" You know that it's a child. Besides what could I do with her. Send her to Dungeon to get eaten alive? The first thing in the morning she's going into an orphanage."

" Well, that's the thing there are only two orphanages in town while both operate as human traffickers."

" I'm too sober to deal with this shit. Waitress!"

I ordered four more beers so that I could better wrap my head around this problem. She brought all my drinks as I returned my sight back to Stella that didn't even touch her food.

" Not to your liking? Why did you order it then?"

" No, it's just. What are you going to do with her."

" What AM I going to do with her? No, no, no. You'll be the one dealing with her the first thing in the morning the little one has to go."

" But"

" No but, it'll be this way. It's better for both us and her." I said and watched as she wore her helmet. Only a faint sobbing sound was heard.

I finished my dinner in peace and drank all the beer, including Stella's as she didn't seem to be in a mood to do anything other than cry.

To get her to the room I had to use commands so she would move. When I stepped into the room, I saw the little thing huddled up in the bedsheets. She was Clutching her legs as she slept on Stella's bed. I deactivated the command before heading to my bed.

" Good night."

" Raven, can't you reconsider. I'll do anything you ask of me."

" Stop it. You don't understand it's in our best interest and hers as she would just get in the way of things." I said without even looking at her what she was doing behind me.

" Now stop whatever you're doing or I'll use slave commands and make you stand near the door for the whole night."

After all that I went to sleep in peace.
