After calling for Elise we left the castle I forgoed the carriage and decided that simply walking would be best.
The Twilight Citadel is a unique city since it only has one wall not multiple rings like most cities it is actually pretty similar to Serothor it was built to grow into and not gradually built up.
I made my way to the common district through the city didn't have multiple ring walls it still has metal check gates probably due to pressure from nobles and clergy.
But I didn't have any problems since I have an imperial badge the common district seemed like something straight out of a rpg wood and brick buildings with bustling civilians.
It smelled horrible but appeared clean the sewers existed for a reason but commoners generally care less about hygiene especially in a city where healing mages are cheap.
Not to say it was just the people that didn't smell the best the mounts of people and carriages still needed to expel their waste and it takes a while for the excrement to be taken by the sewer system.
We made our way to an inn called the willowers den and I walked up to the bar keeper and spoke.
"The willow tree burns in water"
He nodded and took me and Elise through the kitchen and up a flight of stairs into a room filled with smoke and people in various states of nakedness and doing multiple things with each other.
There was also drunk people and groups of well dressed people, the Willowers Den on the outside is just a normal tavern but in reality it is where people come to fulfill their desires.
The Citadel doesn't have any red light district heavy drinking and prostitution is banned but that just means there is a bigger underground market for them and the willowers den is just a vendor of vices.
Elise tapped my shoulder and spoke.
"I don't like this place can we please leave?"
I looked around and spoke back.
"Don't worry we won't be here for long"
I found who I was looking for a naked woman with red hair and hazel eyes carrying a tray of drinks the older sister of the main character sold into slavery at 14 and since then 8 years passed.
She was found dead in the book two months from now strangled to death by a client after she rejected the wealthy woman's advances.
Luckily she was an extremely cheap person not her personality but cheap as in I could literally buy her right now for 9 silver not even a whole gold coin.
I walked up to the the manager a middle aged man with a black tattoo of a moon on his face and spoke.
"How much to own that red head over there?"
The man looked at her and spoke.
"Eh? about 1 gold but I can bring that down to 9 silver she is quite troublesome"
I spoke in the most sleezy way I could and pointed at Elise as I spoke.
"Doesn't matter I have a thing for red heads as you can see"
I took all my willpower to stop myself from gagging at my words but the man broke into laughter and spoke.
"Hahahaha give me the coin and she's yours mate"
I flipped him a gold coin and he smiled then pulled out a piece of paper and spoke as he passed it to me.
"Here's her contract she's yours now"
I examined the slave contract everything seemed in order I smiled and walked up to her and spoke.
"Hey go get your things I have your contract now"
She looked shocked and scared but she did as I said and came back fully dressed with a small bag in her hands.
I spoke to her.
"Good... now miss Heran If you need assistance simply ask Elise my trusted friend and bodyguard we will be walking on main roads to a restaurant I know about"
Heran looked a but startled by hearing her name but nodded and we left the willowers den, and walked to a nearby restaurant called 'the skipping rock' a quiet little venue I remember from the books.
I brought us a table for three and ordered the same thing for all of us a roasted dire wolf heart with a side of callisum a common herb but also doubled as a stand in for vegetables.
I chose this because when the main character finds out shes dead he remembers this is her favourite food I looked at Elise who looked sceptical of the food and heran who was drooling and spoke.
"Come on now eat! Elise I know for a fact this is better than the food we serve to the army and Heran I can tell you're hungry and extremely tempted this is free no strings attached.
We all start eating and I introduce myself.
"Allow me to introduce myself I am second prince Zeth of Serothor and this is Elise a commander in my army"
Heran looked scared and started to cry and spoke getting on her knees.
"I am so sorry for my insolence your highness please-"
I stopped her walked over and kneeled to her eye level before speaking.
"Hush now none of that we have work to do if we are to find your brother"
Her attitude changed to curiosity and concern and she spoke.
"How do you know about him?!"
The next twenty minutes was filled with explaining that I could see the future and that her brother will be a very important person so I am simply solidifying my relationship with him by saving her.
It was mostly true if a little embellished while I do want to leave a good impression on her brother the main character having another person from an ancient Warrior bloodline on my side is never a bad thing all she needs is a little training.
Once I was finished explaining she asked a question.
"Well then... how do we find my brother?"
I looked at her and spoke.
"He is a pervert, a young man and recently got a short leave from the army so he has money to spend so if we go to some 'establishments' we should be able to find him pretty quick"
Both Elise and Heran looked like they just died and came back into their bodies but I'm ninety percent sure I'm correct he is indeed all the afore mentioned things.
