"I wonder what kind of place that is, I never been there"
I gave him a gentle smile, I didn't lie to him. It's true, I have never set my feet there. I wish he could sense that I am trying to tell him that I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY.
He looked at my face, his eyebrow was going up for a while and the defensive aura was gone.
"I see… of course, that place is too far for a small girl like you"
"Obviously… What a merely small girl like me can do. I just 15 years old girl"
"Being a daughter to a owner of an Inn granted you a future at least"
"Pardon me.. Actually I am not…"
Our conversation stopped when someone from his group shouted from the lawn.
"Hey Dylan, lend me your healing gem. I will pay the Frontieze when we back at the city"
"It's alright, just help me write the report later"
"Damn you brat… anything but that"
Dylan takes out a shining blue germ that is as big as my thumb. He threw it to his friend, it was a bit higher and his friend jumped as high as his height to catch the gem.
Who are these people?
Moreover, why does everyone think I am the daughter of the inn and why everytime i want to explain there must be someone in the way.
"You see, this world is not peaceful at it seems. It was rotten deeper than the blue ocean. The greed sinks more than you can imagine. Human or not, all living creatures were trying to survive."
There go again, the same sorrow eyes that I saw from Anne's eyes. They talk about the same thing.
I let out a soft sigh and I want to talk to him more. But the sky got darker and I still didn't make dinner.
I was thinking of excusing myself but then he sat beside me. I was startled a bit, but then the meat was a soft part where it didn't need a long time to cook.
So I decided to talk to him for a few more minutes.
"I heard you are an adventurer. I never meet adventurer before"
"Are you sure? This Inn was one of the well-known Inn throughout Wolaf. There must be lots and more higher rank adventurer have staying here."
I am only staying here for five day. Not only in this Inn but basically in this world. Your world.
But all that thing just stuck in my throat.
I want to speak more but his face says that he needs a listener not an adviser. I stay put and let him speak more.
"The rich gained their fortune by effortlessly throwing their status as excusesses to drain the poorer. The royalty basically only used a name of fame to gain favor. Saying it as a guarantee of access to everything evil."
He stretched out his hand to the sky. And slowly he raised his head looking at the sky and closed his eyes.
He looks dazzling under the almost red sky. After a moment he took a deep breath, looked at me and continued his words.
"And human or not, the worst part is everyone was full of pride to show some mercy to others. Restrict their land from others and only available for their race and limit their knowledge to insiders only."
His face changed. From a tanned common adventurer to someone that I can recognize as a wise ruler.
He seems to possess a blood of royalty, or it is just the potential of a great ruler.
