Walking out of the red Misty forest, the sky had already turned dark. The silent breeze blows to their face, feeling the freshness and the naturality of the night sky.
Walking for a while, they came across a valley. Seeing the valley, Zara frowned.
"Obviously, we are in another region entirely," she said.
"Hmm, hmm " nodding his head, they continue to journey through the valley.
Walking for an hour, ahead of them, there were multiple tents with various indistinct voices coming out from them.
Getting closer, laughter, shouting of various octaves were heard from different people, filling the tent.
Entering into one of the tents, the tent contained more than one hundred people in it. People with various dressings with noble status. Six guards stood at each angle of the tent. Three females, dressed in black and white robes, attended to various people.
Everyone of the people in the tent starred
at the entrance of both Thomas and Zara. Astonishment and awe fill their eyes. The ladies could not compare their body with Zara's enchanting look. Her big plumb breast stood firm and straight, pointing forward. Her thin waist combined with her round ass bring out the devil from all the men staring at her. All the ladies were jealous when they realized all the looks on the men's face when they stared at Zara.
With that, Thomas' handsomeness makes the beauty of Zara pale in comparison to him. His well proportioned chiseled muscle, phoenix eyes with long thick black eyes lashes gives a charisma feeling that can not be described. His dazzling long black hair, half knot and half lose hair which covers the left side of his face, adds a mystery around him which made all people who see him to be curious of his look
A female attendance walk towards them
" Esteemed guests, how may I help you." she bowed a little while her eyes glued onto Thomas' face.
Having gotten used to this kind of look, he was not disturb.
"What is this place"
The female attendance smiles, hearing the pleasing voice of Thomas.
" This is the merchant arena. All the notable merchants from the surrounding city gathered together once in a year. This valley is the meeting place for them. Various merchandise would be sold at a low discount. And this lasted for seven days. It is usually filled with many young masters and young mistresses from noble families. "
"How many days have you used out of the seven days?" Zara asked.
"Three days"
"Hmm, there's four days left, right?" Zara asked, raising her eyebrows, staring at the female attendance while folding her hand on her chest.
The female attendance nods her head.
"What is today's date?" Thomas asked.
The female attendance told them the date while Thomas and Zara furrow their eyes lashes. Looking at the people, Thomas was lost in thought.
" We've to stay here for the remaining four days. Zara had pass through a lot"
" Can we get a tent of our own?" Thomas asked.
"Yes, it cost only fifty silver."
"Get us two" Zara said. She knows that his identity would soon be known. Thomas's maid must be kept secret unless he disclose the information himself.
She needed to act like an elder since she's older than him.
Following the female's attendance, she led them to the edge of the merchant arena. There were many smaller tents in this area. Without telling, this is the merchant living quarters. Some guards stood as night watch while some moved in two or three patrolling the quarters surrounding.
Seeing a guard walking towards them,the female attendance said
"These are our new esteemed guests, give them the identity token and show them their tent." Motioning both Thomas and Zara with her hand forward to follow the guard. "If you are yet to sleep, you can come to the previous tent. Some of the famous wine is there and you can bet on various games played there." She turned and walked away.
The guard looked at their face, surprise was written all over his face while looking at both Thomas and Zara outstanding faces.
Quickly,he regained his composure. He led them to a small tent. Giving both Thomas and Zara the identity token, the guard said
" Do not lose this token,it will give you authorization in all the merchant arena as it serves as a vip card also."
Zara pays the guard " thank you for the heads up." When the guard is gone, Zara smiles, looking at Thomas.
"We need to rest now. By tomorrow we need to sell the monster beast earthcow. Moreover you need a storage ring. I can't be carrying your baggage, this would be the last time." Thomas said with a calmed face.
"Thank you, Lordmaster"
Elated by what Thomas just said, she had radiant smiles on her face. She had wanted to have a storage ring. Even, if it had been the lowest one. Storage ring as ranks and level. Rank 1 to rank 9, rank 1 being the lowest and rank 9 being the highest with a level of low, middle and high. She had wanted to purchase rank 1 low level storage ring but she could not afford to pay for it.
Walking inside the tent, a queen size bed is placed at the center of the bed. To the right side, thick black clothes separate it. The clothes obstructed the incoming person's view. At the back of the black clothes, a bath tub had been placed there.
Taking off his clothes,he entered into the bathtub. The cooling effect of the water made him relax. He had been on his guard all through the forest. Mentally exhausted, the hurdles they pass through the forest had a toil on him. Closing his eyes, he dozed off.
Waking up the following morning, he felt refreshed.
" I don't even know when I slept off, I guess i'm really tired"
Changing into a new set of clothes, he adorned his white clothes, he walked and sat on the center bed cultivating.
After an hour, Zara's voice was heard.
" Lordmaster, can I come in?"
Opening his eyes, he exhaled.
" My sword intent had become more stable. It had begun to condense and take shapes" he murmured.
"Come in," he said.
