Fabian saved the girl because he had committed murder. And he needed that small girl as an alibi that he committed those murders to save her…
Those perverts said that they got a lot of money from that girl. That showed that this girl must belong to a family that is very rich. And that could work of good for Fabian. If he returns the girl to their family then maybe he would get rewarded. And he could always use some money.
And if the parents of this girl are very influential then they could also help him to get out of murder charges. So with that thought, Fabian got out of the alleys…
As Fabian got out based on the cleanliness he understood that he was in the outer parts of the city. So he started going to the inner parts of the city via the main road. He basically looking for the soldier with a silver breastplate. If they were the law enforcers of this city then they could help in locating this girl's parents.
Fabian was going in the inner parts of the city as he noticed that the chance of finding the silver armored soldiers was best in the city. And sure enough he soon found a soldier. This soldier was wearing the full silver breastplate but he wasn't wearing any helmet. From the looks of it, he looked like an old man in his sixties. He looked very cruel and had a military cut. Fabian approached the old man with the intent to hand over the girl to him…
"Excuse me, kind sir!" Fabian screamed as he saw the old man and started running towards him. Hearing this the old man looked behind…
"What?" the old man asked. Fabian came running to the old man and then he started speaking. He told him about him hearing the conversation of that two perverted men. He also told him that he killed those men…
The old man listened to what Fabian had to say. After Fabian was finished the old man told him to follow him. While carrying the girl the old man leads Fabian towards the inner city…
The old man took Fabian to a grand building. On the entrance of that building, there was a giant board on which the words 'City Hall' was carved. That building had three floors and looked very beautiful. A lot of people were coming in and out of the city hall which made its entrance quite crowded.
The old man took them to her inside the building. As they got inside, the old man called a lady which was wearing the same silver armor. She took that girl from Fabian's hand and went away. While the old man took Fabian towards a desk. The old man sat on the desk while he gestured sit opposite to him…
"You did a good job young man." The old man said.
"Thanks," Fabian said.
"We will have to make sure that you are telling the truth. And if what you said is true then there might be a case where this girl is the daughter or granddaughter of someone wealthy. They might try to contact you via guild. So make sure that you don't leave the city for a day or two." The old man said.
"Guild?" Fabian asked as he had never heard the word guild before.
"Mercenary Guild. You are a mercenary right?" the old man asked.
"Ah… yes," Fabian said.
"Good. Now I just need your name and your mercenary ID." The old man said.
"My name is Drac… Fabian." Fabian said.
"Drac Fabian?" the old man asked.
"No just Fabian. As for my mercenary ID is concerned I lost mine. That is why I came to the city to find the guild so that they could make a new one." Fabian lied.
"Oh… Well, the mercenary guild is not that far away from here. You can go and put in your request. Then Fabian I would contact you again." the old man said and then he let Fabian go…
…
After Fabian left, the lady soldier that took the girl with her came back. She then sat down in front of the old man and said…
"So who was he?" the girl asked.
"Just a mercenary." The old man said.
"So was he telling the truth?" the girl asked.
"Yeah." the old man said.
"I have never seen him around. He was very suspicious. He had two sabers that looked like they were of high quality. While he reeked of blood. And yet you let him go. I bet you didn't even see his ID." Girl said.
"Listen to me girl, here is the thing. He may reek of blood. His swords might have been stolen. But he saved that girl's life. And that is what matters. Any bad person would have sold that girl to one of the brothels. But he came to me. That showed that he was not a bad guy." The old man said.
"You are a naïve old man." Girl said.
"Yeah, I am… And why the hell are you here?" the old man asked annoyingly.
"It was because I know the girl's identity." Girl said.
"Who is she?" the old man asked
"She is from Gilbert's household." Girl said.
"Oh… FUCK!" the old man screamed.
