What! Why is today so crazy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, that quest is crazy, what do you think of me luna a person who pours his heart out to everyone no
I am so complicated that I don't understand myself if I say that I am a thief to my twisted advisor, he will think that I am joking.
Luna said 'that's not my problem, make him trust you are a thief.'
Well, the reason I made Blade my advisor was not that he could understand everyone's thing, instead, I was planning on making him steal for the kingdom.
like stealing information, and money, weapons, and goods from the other kingdoms cause I couldn't do it.
I never planned on having an advisor I can advise myself, even if i needed one i could have picked someone more intelligent than a thief
Well, I know how I should make him believe but after that what would happen; I don't know.
It feels exciting to see this quest lets do it and face the consequences
I began to have a story in my mind but I did not know how to say it.
I said 'Blade do you believe I had changed since came from the spirit realm"
He said yes I said ' what if I said that I'm not Steven Ade I'm someone else like another person would you believe me
He said I would believe him. Yippee, he believes me his quest is easier.
He asked me ' what do you ask me something like this now' I said ' I will say that later but can you say why you believe that I'm someone else'
He said ' I have met you once before when I was young my mother was sick my father was a soldier he died in the first war you gave our family compensation for my father's work but it was not even enough to get medicine for my mother, I stole food, one day you were coming around to see how the people were you saw me stealing you gave me money and said the shopkeeper to give me food they gave me food as you said but after my mother's death I moved from that town, so now that I see you again I can definitely tell that you are someone else'
I said ' I'm sorry about your family, but I don't know my past that's the reason I was rummaging around the library and the room but I couldn't find a lot of stuff about it so I spread a rumor that I have changed with my commander'
He said ' heard it all over the palace but how are you not the same person, is it like some sort of malfunction while returning'
Great, he has a great imagination, I'm gonna go with it I said yes
He was laughing, he looked at me and laughed, it was embarrassing, he stopped and said 'who were you before if you were not a king'.
I began my past (tape rewinding)
I said a long time ago there was a little family in the slums; they lived in a small house with a baby; it was all perfect until it happened; it was a rainy day there was lightning and thunder and a bolt of lightning struck the roof of the house, there was a fire.
Unfortunately, on that day, the parents were not home. They were stuck at work and the fire was rising. It was around me I was crying and then the door was broken by someone (slam).
Who was it, it was Dimitri he was hiding from people who he stole from; he heard me crying and saved me he did not name me but raised me as his own son, who became to be the notorious Grunkle Stan who was the king of thieves '
He said ' oh so you are a thief, then let us play a game to prove it '
It surprised me I thought he would say something but; he asked me for a game.
I asked him what game; he smiled and said three-card monte
We went inside; it rained outside, there was lightning and thunder and rain, it was the best mood to play a game.
Three cards were at the table two kings and ace they were faced up, he said the rules
*We will play four rounds, two rounds you will deal and will guess, then the other way around
*there will be best, only I can bet I will bet the money I have no which is my salary 100 gold and you can bet money but if I win, you will give it to me, and if I win the four rounds the money which I bet will be a raise for me as for you I will accept that you are a thief.
Ahh it's tricky as expected of a thief, to be exact I expected little of him, I thought he was a small-time thief but he is clever at making deals; it is unbalanced but good to prove myself.
We began the game. He was the first dealer. At the first match there was no trick I won, In the next match he used tricks but when you know the spoiler the story isn't great, I guessed it right again.
He was smiling. He knew that would happen; it was the last round he knew I would win, but he still took a chance; he dealt and lost. I bet nothing even if I did it would be not of use.
It was my turn next. I did the same as him, first, no tricks then trick he guessed it right every time he also betted in every round he was having a profit.
That was the whole point of this game was an opportunity for him to steal from me but gotta teach students they are not better than their masters.
Well, it was the last round. If he wins now, I gotta give him a huge raise of 300 gold coins so I will defeat him in the last round.
I dealt the cards I could see his confidence; he chose the card it was the ace, he said 'too bad it seems like we are at a draw' he told me to turn the card up I said ' are you sure that you are gonna win'
He said you still don't trust me. I laughed and said sometimes the tables may change. He did not trust what I said, but the tables did change.
I flipped the card; he looked like he was gonna have a heart attack; it was because the card which I flipped was not an ace; it was a king.
He said ' I'm sure it was ace' I said ' it seems like the tables have turned'
Well, the truth is I switched the card; it was not when we spoke; he knew I would try to change the card when we spoke his eyes were all on the cards it was when I flipped them I used swift hands to change it.
Poor boy, he was all sad that he did not get his raise; I did not care a single drop about it, it was a win-win for me.
When I was about to get up Blade said ' we have a problem'
What not again!
