[Iris View]
A BEAUTIFUL GENERAL CALLED ME DEAR!
I was so happy that I couldn’t stop moving around the counter, I was waiting for her to finish writing her mail but then one of the old adventurers raised his voice.
"That woman is dangerous Iris"
This was the merchant guild but we had adventurers here because the adventurer guild was next door and it was much smaller than the merchant guild and so they started to stay here.
"Why is that ?"
"From what I have heard, she almost sparked a revolt in the north part of the citadel,I don’t know the details but she took some bribes and things went to shit and not to mention she is an all rounder"
"I see but what is an all rounder ?"
Everyone started to laugh at me, like I said something funny to them.
"All rounder means she goes for everyone out there for her pleasure, man, woman, beast human, dragon human, vampire human and many more"
"What! But isn't cross race breeding and same sex breeding banned by the papacy ?"
"Yes but The New High Holy Priestess is her friend and some even say she killed the old high holy priest but those are rumors"
I was stunned for a moment, all of a sudden the doors opened and a man came out and he yelled.
"THE OLD MAN IS IN HOSPITAL"
Everyone was surprised without saying anything we all started to run to the hospital and we gained more crowd while running.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The Old Man was the oldest man living on this island, when I was five years old my family came to this island for a vacation and he told my parents they will have an accident but both of them didn’t care and that accident left me without parents and I didn’t have any relatives either and so he took care of me and he was everything to me.
We all arrived at the hospital and he was there waving his hand with a smile on his face, I rushed to him and hugged him and I started to cry.
"I w-was worried"
He patted my head and laughed.
"You were always a crybaby but what is with all of you don’t you all have things to do ?"
They looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Haha I guess we do let's leave you two alone"
They left leaving us alone, I was still hugging him, I had no intention of letting him go.
"You have your work too and I only have couple of broken bones nothing that big"
I was starting to get angry, he was this kind of person, a kind and a caring one he didn’t want to bother me and so he lied about his health frequently and I was done with his lies.
"NOTHING THAT BIG ? IT IS THAT BIG! YOU ARE ALMOST HUNDRED, YOU CAN JUST TRIP AND DIE OR GET A FLU AND DIE AND YOU STILL LIE TO ME ? PLEASE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS LEFT IF YOU GO I WILL BE ALONE"
After bursting with anger I looked at his face, like always he wasn’t looking at my eyes but I saw tears coming out of his red eyes and the saddest look I have ever seen on his face.
"I-I am sorry"
"Don’t be, I am an old man and I have done bad things in my life, but taking you in wasn’t one of them"
We hugged each other like a daughter and a father, we both were happy and I stayed with him and he fell asleep fast, he was tired, the doctor came in.
"Ah! Doctor how is he ?"
"Well he is fine for an old man we applied healing magic on him he should be fine in a day"
"Oh thank god, do you know what happened ?"
"Well, I heard that a beautiful adventurer kicked him"
A beautiful adventurer ?
"Before you leave doctor, did that beautiful adventurer had a rose on her ear ?"
"Yeah how did you know ?"
So,it was her.
"Oh people were talking in the guild"
"I see, have a good day"
I left the hospital and started to run to the merchant guild, I was going to confront her and when I arrived I saw her leaving.
"WAIT!"
She turned to me with a smile on her face.
"Oh you came back, I put the mail on the counter"
How can she smile like that, I swear I will make you pay.
