Chapter 2 - Two Teenager (2)

As the tip of the castle shown up at the horizon, Vaterian open the window and talk to the coachman "Mister, you can stop the coach now, we will leave here." "But the City still long away from here, it is not the order I received earlier." Surprised by the word came out from Vaterian's lips, the coachman quickly questioned the youngster and stop down the coach slowly.

The Teenagers walked down the coach but with another clothing, duller and older, but the sword still hanging beside him with a leather sheath without decoration, but clean enough to reflect its value for its owner.

Vaterian ignore the question from coachman and open his poach "It is not your business I hope you can understand this, but don't be afraid, you will only get more than you deserve. I think that's enough to sweep away all your worriedness."

He took 8 silver coin out of the poach and handed it to the coachman "8 Titus, I truly admire your faithful service, so I will give you more than the 5 Titus you deserve, but if you can head back to Waldstein and picked up two person and send them to Karchidon, I will be very grateful."

The coachman took the silver coin carefully like it made up but glasses, but he refused to head back to Waldstein "Miseur, My Coach is one of the best you can found in this country you can't let some random people walk into it, it will servery damage my reputation."

Vaterian shown no surprise upon this rejection, He take another 2 silver coin out from the bag "Sure, letting some homeless man to sit on your coach is a huge insult for you, but as long as they don't look like it, it won't be a huge problem. The clothing for them was left in the coach, the fee for their living is here, I believe you can utilize it well. By the way, flip the coin over, I believe it's worth the effort to do it."

The coachman flipped the coin over, at the other side is a winged horse with a tiger head, below it was a phrase "Lega Mathar". The coachman opened his eye and keep inspecting these coins, after he make sure it's indeed a true coin, he accept the offer. "Thanks for your kindness miseur, I would fulfil your order."

The coachman said nothing more and quickly drive away his coach, leaving only some trails behind it.

"I never know that just the symbol behind the coin can make an arrogant person change his mind, Surely the power of money drive man crazy huh?" Asked Igor. "You though everyone can get the coin made from the Mathar league so easily? Those silver coin may have a bigger value than any Gold coin made in our country."

"So why you gave it all away such easily? Now we only left with those lead cover by precious metal." seems like Igor can't understand this choice. "We can just stay in cheap hotel and eat bread for the whole day, better being caught by the guard because we holding the coins we don't supposed to have. Prepare to move your leg, we still got a long way to go."

"Okay sir." Igor reply with almost no excitement, he hates long walk after all. He slipped his hand under his cloak, try to find his Novel to read during the walk, but he found nothing. He quickly looked backward but the coach is already nowhere to be seen.

"What's happened Igor? Did you make sure your leg still attached to your body?" "Nothing." Igor quickly move forward to catch up with Vaterian, walking right beside it. "I guess you trying to find this isn't it?" Vaterian wave the Novel in front of Igor, but quickly put it back under his cloak.

"Try to focus on other stuff when you was walking, you might found something more interesting than these books. Here put it on, otherwise the breeze will just tear your face apart, you won't like you to look like an old tree trunk." Vaterian take two wooden masks out and headed one of them to Igor.

"Watch what? those silver-eyed slave working in the field? I will rather listen to some conversation between nobleman than it, at least I won't listen to those conversation every day. " Igor don't mind being salty on this topic.

"Be polite Igor, at least those slaves providing us useful resources, when those noble just gobble up our treasury." it seems Vaterian had another opinion over it.

"Yaa, you are right. At least I dont need to bend my knee when talking to the slave." The dissatisfaction over the noble brings the conversation to an end and they keep on moving toward their destination - Talismania, The biggest city in the Nation and the bottleneck of Faust walkway, laid beside the river of Mais and Essen, it's the heart of the family of Von Talismania.
