Chapter 7 - Beerhouse Incidence

"You need to be careful, Kid! I won't allow you to even touch my daughter!" shouted the man toward Igor. "Dad, I already 12 and grew up! I can make my decision myself." The Daughter sent out her counter-argument.

Vaterian gets shocked by the statement, he took a look at the girl. "Bigger than Katherina." He made his judgement, "Is the people here grow up so fast?". At the same time, Vaterian started calculating the sentence that should be given to Igor according to the law, but soon he realized there had no such a statute.

"I should propose a new Act If I was the ruler. Let's call it [Keep Igor away Act]." Vaterian simply land his hand on a mug and drink the drinks inside it, but soon he realized that was Beer. He look at Igor who now drinking the water, as soon he saw Vaterian watching him, he shake the mug in his hand, even spill some of the water on the ground. It doesn't seem he care about the argument between those two.

As Vaterian pressures him to turn down the situation, Igor makes a small attempt. "Dear father, you need to understand the choice your daughter made, she is as wise as the Vorsinger, she won't fail your expectation." Later he turns to the daughter " Dear lady, I wish you understand that a love without the parent blessing won't have a nice end, try to negotiate with your father, It may bring us a better end."

As soon as Vaterian saw the smile on Igor's face when he made these statements. He knew, this guy are just making a faint attempt to make things worst. "sigh" Vaterian didn't look at those three anymore, as he heard the volume of those three starts raised, dragging all the attention from the rest of the Inn.

Vaterian keep drinking the beer inside the mug, he was not a person who don't drink as the bartender thought, He just hates being drunk and forgot what happened to him.

As he kept looking around the Inn looking for a potential caravan to join in, he notice something weird. "Why are there only people from Mathar league around here? Where are the others?" as he only saw the coat of arms of Mathar league and its member city around. He kept this in mind, although they need a caravan to reach their destination, but not via these guys, you never know when they will sell you off.

As he navigate his eye around the Inn, there had something dragged his attention. That's a girl and a man, at the corner of the Inn, far away from the other, that's they not being noticed by most people.

The girl had nothing in front of her table, dress in a luxurious dress, usually not able to afford by most people. However, the bottom half of it had been covered by mud and dust. She kept herself as close to the wall as possible, just to maintain distance from the man

The man dressed up according to the traditional costume, a shirt in which the lower half of it reaches its knee and covered half of his trousers. The man holding a mug in his hand, wielding it at the same time as he talking to the girl.

No liquid was being spilt out from the mug, it's clear it's empty. Only Drunken people would wield an empty mug like that, the man also one of them, it been proven by the mugs that place at the table beside it. He seems to try to have some fun with the girl, although the girl seems calm from her face, her behaviour shows her uncertainty.

After a couple second, Vaterian walked to the side of the man, he put his hand on the man's shoulder and said, "Since I was a kid, my father told me I shouldn't randomly flirt with a woman, it was an act of barbarian, I hope you had been educated better than a child isn't it?" although he said it with a straight face he knew he should add another sentence.

"At least not making them felt uncomfortable," Vaterian said it silently, he looked toward Igor, Who still arguing with the father and daughter.

"Piss off kid! there had none of your business here!" shouted the man toward Vaterian, as some of his drool spilt to Vaterian face, Vaterian face turn black. Igor notice it from distance, he knew that someone would have a bad time today.

"Have anybody told you shouldn't behave like a dog? or like a wild hound in this instance, even mine will know he should wiggle his tail when I came back home. And he won't behave like you! Using your mouth fermented under the sewer to bark against me!" Vaterian knock his hand on the table, but the word that came out from his mouth is mostly calm and pronounced clearly.

The anger of the man grew after hearing those insults, but before he get the chance to shout back, Vaterian roared at him. "Do you listen! you drunken hound?"

The man can't hold himself anymore, he held Vaterian on his collar and ram it to the wall with full force. "Bam!" The whole attention of the Inn being dragged to the little corner, Vaterian remain calm on his face, He open his lip and said, "Seems like you need some additional education from me, you parent probably not wise enough to tell you who you shouldn't fight with."

Vaterian threw his sword at the girl, It dropped right before the girl. "Hold it for me please lady." He made a kind request with a smile on his face. The man was furious about being ignored by the kid, he hold his finger together and struck toward Vaterian's belly.

Vaterian quickly turned his head over, the smile disappearing from his face. He stops the fist of the man by using both hands and striking its belly using his knee. The man instantly felt the pain from his stomach, he bent down to reduce its pain.

Catching this opportunity, Vaterian push the guy away with his leg violently, or a sidekick in simple explanation. The man being pushed away violently, ram straight toward where he previously sat. the empty mugs, which he placed on the table flew away by the brutal force. As the back of the man almost reach the wall, he stopped.

"Come on! Let me have some fun! Your parents are stupid enough to not tell you who you shouldn't mess with and now they don't teach you how to fight?" shouted out loud, Vaterian seems to don't mind dragging others attention during the fight. If that count as a fight, not a bully.

The man climbed down from the table, he knew this kid just playing around with him. His uninjured back showed him how well this kid controlled his force. Although it's clear that he can't win this fight, the alcohol had paralyzed his mind, he roar at Vaterian and charged toward him.

"Nice doggy, come here." Vaterian patted his hand on his knee while looking down at the man, Treating the man like a pet, no respect was given. A completely different image to he usually was.

The man charged forward and punched Vaterian on his face, so close that Vaterian can see the line of his knuckles and stretching muscles. Vaterian made a small move, he turned his body to the side, and raise his arm slightly, another punch on the man's belly, by his own force.

Vaterian continues his movement, his left hand is sadly unusable due to the recoil from the charge. He move his left leg and right arm at the same time, striking heavily on the man back and belly, the immense pain cause the man to just fainted and fall on Vaterian knee.

"This sandbag would cost less than 1Titus if being sold on the market." He whispered to himself. Vaterian threw the guy to a chair nearby using his leg. Unfortunately, the chair had no rest, the man just bent on the chair and his head crushed on the floor.

Vaterian did not react to it, he take a mug of beer from a nearby table and take a sip from it. " Ach, this tasted like piss. Even the goddess tear taste better than it! but bad news the goddess had lost all her tear on your performance!" As Vaterian lay down his word, the crowd shouted and yell, cheering for Vaterian, not because of justice but the entertainment that brought to them.

Vaterian drag the man's hair, force him to watch his face. "Wake up, a hardy hound would neither dead nor faint from this kind of injury. Come, here is the reward you deserve." Said Vaterian, he spill the beer on the man's head.

The man instantly woke up by the liquor, as he saw Vaterian's face, he try to run away, but Vaterian's hand just keep grabbing his hair. "Miseur, there had no such way for people to get away from defeat easily." The man watching at Vaterian, the ego and contempt had swept away from him, only frighten and cowardliness left behind.

"Dear owner, how much did the facility and my meal cost?" "35 Julius." Vaterian look at the man, the man quickly take out his poach, but it fell on the floor as a result of the hurry.

"Never mind, I would take care of it." Vaterian let go of the man and picked up the poach and the coin fell around it. The man ran straight out to the Bierhaus without looking back.

" 1,2,3...50, here you go, Miseur." Vaterian lay the coin on the owner's hand and turned away. "Nothing more to watch here, spread out." None of the people chose to tell the guard, the customer wish such entertainment would happen more often, while the owner receive its payment.

As the crowd spread out, the girl come toward Vaterian, with his sword in her hand.
