Nyx and Rose arrived at the guild after dealing with rats and clearing Mr. White’s backyard. The sun was still out, so they had a lot of time to finish their last two jobs. After all, they wanted to get this done today, not tomorrow. The game will be in maintenance. Also, they have a date to prepare for. He also looked up what he should do about Snow when maintenance happens. The Devs answered the question on the forums already. They said that Summons will be fine during maintenance. You can leave them out of your summoning space.

Apparently, the nearest NPC will care for your summon for the day. They will make sure it is fed and healthy. This is good. He was worried about Snow being alone and not having food. As he had these thoughts to himself, Rose went ahead of him and opened the door to the guild. Inside, you could see many people eating or getting quests on the second floor. He saw Jessica sitting behind the front desk with a tired expression but no bags under her eyes. It seems she took his advice and got some sleep when she had the chance.

Jessica noticed us walking in and waved at us to come over to the front desk. "Welcome back, Nyx and Rose. Your job went well, and you're back fast. I need a badge from the client. It shows the job met their standards. If they didn't give you a badge and you did the job well, tell me. I will send our investigators to check. Then, we can get you credit for the job.”

He handed her the badge that Mr White provided them. It was good to know that they needed the badge to complete the job. Also, the guild gave them the option of having someone check if the job was done. This is in case the client goes back on their word and does not pay them. Or, if the client says the job was not done, even though it was. “The Job was pretty easy and we split the work between us so we can get the job done faster. Also Mr white provided us with money for the job and we are ready to complete the last two jobs.”

“Well that is great that you two were able to complete the Job no problem. Usually, most new players complain they have to do chores. They want to go straight into fighting and being heroes. Now for your next job the client is inside actually waiting in a backroom. Please be on your best behavior since they are a part of a Major Noble house.”

Rose and Nyx widened their eyes at the mention of Nobles. They were especially surprised to hear of a Major one. Rose was muttering about meeting a Princess like in her stories. She really loved books that had Nobles in them and loved villainess novels the most. Jessica led them to a back room behind the front desk as she called for a nearby worker to fill her spot as she left. As they walked into the room they saw a little girl with blue hair and crystal blue eyes. She looked like a little doll with the dress she was wearing that was all blue with ribbons in her hair.

“A Puppy! I did not know a puppy would be taking me home. This is the best escort ever! I can’t wait to tell big sis about this.” She ran toward Snow. Snow jumped out of Rose’s arms and started licking and sniffing her with excitement. She giggled as Snow was giving her a tongue bath and having a fun time with her. We all smiled at the scene but Jessica snapped her fingers for us to pay attention.

"Well, sorry to interrupt, but this is Lady Amaya. She is part of the Major house of Tides and her older sister is the Head of the House of Tides. The last two jobs are to make sure you escort Lady Amaya to the mansion south of the town. You must also protect her from harm. Now since this is an important client the reward is going to be 4 slivers when the job is completed. This is usually called a star mission. We send our best adventurers on these to complete important jobs. They are crucial to the guild and its reputation, so please don’t mess this up.”

The Duo nodded at the information. Jessica gave them a paper with directions to the mansion and some money. It was in case Amaya wanted snacks from a nearby vendor. He was a bit nervous about having their last job as escorting a noble, especially a Major one. “Don’t worry Miss Jessica we will make sure she is escorted and taken home perfectly. Snow can also keep her company and protect her at all times in her arms.”

“Well that is perfect. Well then Lady Amaya please listen to Miss Rose and Mr Nyx while they watch over you. If you want anything then please tell them and they will buy it for you. Your butler should be waiting for you at the mansion. Your sister should be coming home tonight. So, please be on your best behavior. Anyway, good luck with your last jobs for the night, Mr. Nyx and Miss Rose.”

Jessica walked out the room and gave them a nod. He looked at the money bag's contents. There are 20 slivers in the bag. That should be more than enough for anything she would want to eat or maybe a toy she may like. He looked at Amaya petting Snow in her arms as she walked up to them and nodded at Jessica’s parting words.

The group walked out of the guild and walked towards their destination. The sun was still out however it was going down and it was about to be sunset. “Mr Nyx can I have a piggy back ride while we go back home. I always wanted one but my sister is always busy with paperwork. Also can we get some fried potato patties. As we go and some lemonade. Oh there is also a Barkery with some amazing bread we can have.”

Nyx picked her up and put her on his back, nodding his head at all her requests. He was smiling. It reminded him of the kids he used to watch while volunteering at the orphanage. Rose was smugly smiling at him. She was mouthing out the words Big Brother Nyx to him. She wasn't wrong; he loved to think he was a big brother to all the kids he has taken care of. He once wanted a younger sibling. But, his mother said she could never love anyone else after his father. This was understandable.

"Well, Nyx, this is going to be such an easy job! We've got to help a cute little princess and have fun. Nothing bad is going to happen, and this job is going to be smooth sailing for all of us!” He sighed. Rose raised a death flag on purpose. They both know that when someone says something like that, something bad happens. Well, he has to enjoy the peace while he can.
