Chereads / The nameless book / Chapter 7 - Beautiful death

Chapter 7 - Beautiful death

" What the hell is this," I muttered while the pub owner watched, I saw a woman

so beautiful that I thought she wasn't real yet that beauty was ruined by a rope

hanging around her neck and on her face the most disgusting smile a human can

have, "hello there young one," said the lady while still being hanged by the rope, at

that sight, I couldn't stop myself from taking a step back, "don't be scared" "that's

just my sister Dabria," she said while pointing at her head while still having that

smile on her face, I found myself saying "who are you," "me?" she said while

pointing at the other side of her head, I nodded at her, she then closed her eyes and

lowered her head while muttering "Oizys, that's my name", "who is Dabria then?" I

asked her, she lifted her head and looked at me in the eye while saying in a very

natural voice "my twin" followed by a creepy grin, "stop scaring the customers you

two" shouted a voice from behind her, because of my shock I didn't notice the

presence of this man, "get down" he told the crazy woman, "tsk tsk and here I finally

thought I could enjoy death for a bit," at her words the man glared at her for a second

then he turned to look at me, "sorry about that, we weren't expecting customers today

so I thought I should let her enjoy her hobbies for a bit", I looked at the woman again

and it was then that I noticed both of her eyes were different one looked normal like

anyone's eye but with a blue color the other one looked like the eye of a snake with a

creepy green color, the blue one would make you think of madness when you see

them while the green one "death" said the man "you can call her Lorelai", "the one

who lures men to their death" I muttered, the man looked at me and smiled, "what

do you like to buy?", he said changing the subject "what do you offer? I replied

"intelligence, weapons, slaves, some special channels that will help all businessmen

also, we offer assassination services" he said while looking at Lorelai who was playing

with the rope around her neck and muttering to herself "not that you can afford it

though" he added, I nodded at his words, "I want a new identity and a way out of my

old life" I said to him, "that will be a bit expensive" "how much?", he was silent for a

few seconds then said "a gold coin, 15 silvers and the head of the bandit groups leader

who hides in the city's eastern forest", the outrageous sum stunned me for a full

minute, "you might as well ask for a unicorns milk" was the only reply I could think

of "sure why not carful though unicorns are mostly males" he said while smirking,

"fine I want to get introduced to someone " "who," asked the tall jerk "the auction

house's auctioneer", "sure that would cost you that introduction letter," he said while

looking at the letter in my hand "I prefer cash" I said, he clicked his tongue and

nodded, " the meeting will be in the Rogue inn", "9 silvers," he said while extending

his opened palm to me, I felt my heart bleed at the thought of losing 90% of my

savings so I said " 6 silvers and a new toy," I said while looking at the psycho, "how

long will it keep her busy?" asked the man while scratching his chin, "well maybe a

week, deal?", he looked at me for a second then back at the psycho then said "deal",

"There is a house with a red and black door by the market there, just have her get in"

he nodded while I handed him the money, "when can the meeting be held?" "four

days maximum" "okay," I said while leaving.

I called my guard who followed me out with his face still red from drinking, "did

you have a fight?" he asked me, "no, what made you think that" he pointed at my

hand, when I looked at it I found it dripping with blood, I clenched it while muttering

"Lorelai" my back was dripping with cold sweat at the thought of what could have

happened to me in there.

I had my guard bandage my hand while I thought about my next step, "money,

people, power I need all of these three, to live my life the way I want it with no fear or

worry" when my guard finished bandaging my hand I asked him "you don't really

have a family do you?" he paused for a second then nodded, "used to?" he nodded

again, "natural causes?" "it was a tough year for all of us then" he answered me,

"would you like to follow me and make something out of your life?", "am I free to do

what I want?" "as long as it doesn't affect my business," I said "of course boss, the

name is Sigurd," he said while offering his hand, I shook my head and started

moving, which promoted him to pull back his hand and start moving behind me.
