"my gold!, everything is gone!".
It made me wake up.I looked around,everyone else was already awake.
Everything in the merchant's Treasury was gone,not even a single ice of gold.
The last troupe was nowhere to be found.Only their clothes were left on the stage.
So the weaver is really this smart,I chuckled slightly.
Not only the guests were sleeping.The maids and bodyguards too.Everyone was drugged.The plan was executed perfectly but what Teri did wasn't right.He went too far.
"Lord dontel,please see this matter through,you're also a witness to this.Please investigate this matter and bring those scoundrels to justice",the merchant cried out to my 1st brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later we returned to the family residence.After all investigations,dontel found nothing.
I didn't tell him anytime about Teri.
It was nightime.After having my night bath,I decided to retire to my bed chamber.
I opened my room door wearing only my white inner clothing and closed the door.
"Mr nobleman,you've arrived".
I heard a voice say from my bed direction and I turned.
Teri was on white blindfold and black outfit,lying on his side.His elbow on the bed and his face resting on his palm,crossed his leg with a smirk.
He motioned me to come using his index finger.
I scoffed and began to move towards the bed.
"Stop",he said and I stood still.wait.why am I voluntarily obeying him?.
"I told you, we'll meet again,Mr nobleman",he said.
I dragged a chair and sat Infront of him,since I can't sit on my own bed.
"What happened at that merchant's banquet?",I asked as I looked at him.
"Is this how you serve your guest,Mr nobleman?",he sat up.""what did I expect?",he sighed.
"How could you and your bandits take all the valuables that belonged to that merchant.It was his blood and sweat",I shook my head,"you went too far,Teri!",my voice went higher,so I sighed.
"You only see what you wish to see, nobleman!.He kidnapped young men, women,boys and girls and sell them!.The blood and sweats you spoke about are people!",he yelled a the I could feel the rage.
I didn't know the merchant was that kind of person.
"Nobleman,are you shocked?",he said as he curved a smile.
He got up from the bed and walked towards me.Sometimes I wonder he walks without a staff.Is he not afraid of tripping over something.Its line someone is guiding him but there's no one.
He placed a hand on my right shoulder and leaned in slowly to my face and whispered,"it's not wrong to be wealthy.If you know me,you'll know that I am from a noble lineage".
"Yes,I know.You're the first son of the great general",I said
He leaned out , stood and nodded.
He walked behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders."it's not wrong to be wealthy.It...,depends where the wealth come from",he lifted my chin up slightly.
He walked and stood beside my window,leaning on the wall.He raised three fingers up,"three times.I and my sister have been sold three times".
He walked back to the bed, sat down and exhaled,"we escaped the first and second.
My first kill was when I was 8.He deserved it,but I was terrified of myself.I didn't want to kill again,so I allowed myself to be bullied on the streets.I was still blind at that time.
I was 11,my sister was 9.We were sold to a douchebag family.The father,the sons,the maids and their guards were horrible.
The sons were are than 20 years of age and they were idiots.
One day,the three young masters tried to cross the line with my sister.My first elder sister,selina told me about it and I rushed there,killing them and every other mortal in that residence.I don't know how many and I don't care.I sparred no one.That time,I wasn't terrified of myself anymore.
Years passed and then a helper came.it was the bandit chief.He saved me and my sister from starving on the streets,that's when I investigated and found out that that merchant was the real owner.And also the merchant had something of mine,But I've gotten it back".
"You killed both the guilty and innocent,Teri",I said.
He smirked,"I know.Are you scared of me,Mr nobleman?".
"No",I said, confidently.
He smiled fakely as he walked to the door and I followed him behind,"Some of them managed to find their way back.And the ones that didn't know their way back,have to stay with us,so that's what the merchant's valuables us used for.
But don't worry,they won't become bandits now .we won't force them.Afterall we have some other good businesses".
He walked outside and exhaled,"Your brother should investigate that merchant,he has other hiding places where those he kidnapped are stored instead of looking for the missing valuables".
"Is.....,this the last time, we'll see each other?",I asked curiously.
Teri looked forward,"I find you, interesting,Mr nobleman.So, we'll see each other soon",he said and he flew in the air.
"Were you with someone?"
I turned and saw my 1st brother,dontel.
"No",I answered.
"So you were talked to yourself,then?"
"Yes".

TERI
I was in my house in the bandit village.
I knelt on the ground beside the box,my dad left with me.
My second elder sister,Darlene was supposed to hold it for me as it was heavy for me,but she abandoned I and elley without a good explanation at a critical time.
When those slave hunters took I and elley,they collected the box.The wealthy merchant came that day and saw the box.He took a liking in it and took it away.
But he doesn't know that,it can only be opened with mine or anyone in my family blood.
Elley was already asleep.
With my first elder sister,Selena,guardiance, I cut myself and let the blood drip on the lock and my blood followed a path in the box and I heard it opened.
I put my hand inside and felt the sword,red whip and the spear that can be folded.
I never forgot about the promise I made to my father.But,I don't even know if the king of the former dynasty of delmos Kingdom is still alive.
