Chapter 212 Two Paths
Kabre Country:
Suvo Coster:
Entering the village as we keep moving to the main citadel of the society, looking all around with his eyes gleaming at the polished and well-made huts from different colored trees, Mondo says, everything is so vibrant. I Wonder what type of candy they make here😋?
Shifting to my right as he is right next to me, I comment, candy sure is your weakness huh?
Nodding like a child with a smile, Mondo replies with enthusiasm, hell yeah! Nothing beats candy! Especially hard candy because it travels well.
Untying a small bag with some currency jingling in it, I say as I extend my arm out to Mondo with the bag in my fingers, then go get yourself some candy. And wants you're done, come find me.
Grabbing the bag with a quick hand, Mondo says with his face turning slightly suspicious, and why would I need to find you? Where are you headed to?
Pointing out my finger with my left hand as it is directed towards a large fortress like structure, responding back, I say with a compressed tone, that is where I'll be.
Gazing at the craftsmanship from afar, Mondo says with his tone casual but also impressed, nice castle. Should've known you'd be headed there. Oh, and hey since your headed there, take my pack with you.
Removing his backpack in a hurry, placing it in my hand, Mondo then dashes toward the vendors to procure some of his candy he wants.
5 minutes later
Halting my feet as I'm now standing in front of the entrance of Queen Pepper's fortress, standing guard as two tall robust built men stare at me, one of them says with a deep voice, state your business.
Blank faced as I usually am, I say, Suvo Coster, and I'm here to speak with Queen Pepper please.
Having a quick reply back as the on the left speaks again, he says, did you say Suvo Coster?
Answering promptly with no quiver in my voice, I say, yes. That would be I.
Turning their heads as they look at each other, nodding slightly, the two men then open the door for me. Stepping in with nothing else to say, I then keep on striding down the hall.
Holding Mondo's bag, a little loosely as I ponder if I remember where Queen Pepper's quarters was. Reaching an impasse as I'm in the middle between two paths, I say, great which side should I trail down?
