Rumors about what Gates had done had spread around the Manor, the young miss temper was something well known in the Manor as well as outside the Manor...Attracting the wrong kind of attention for Gates..of course, if you know, you know.
Gates went on about his day, he wasn't going to just go find his siblings to beat the shit out of them, he needed a good enough reason before he would honestly be just exacting revenge and destroying another part of the Manor.
After speaking to Theodore, he had heard from the guards talking that Ghost was being hunted and was put a bounty of 5000 gold coins...
Like every medieval time, 1 gold is equivalent to 10000 silvers, 1 silver is equal to 100000 coppers and coppers were the least currency and also the easiest to mine or find. The Gates family was rich, excessively rich that Gates could not even compare his families wealth on earth to its current state here.
However he needed to go find Yusuf, first to give him the identity of who wanted his head in the family and second, to give him a new life....of course a life he may or may not accept since I was the who made his life unbearable right now, but still it's all within the plan.
Taking a shower and dressing up quick enough to leave the Manor with an escort this time, Gates was headed towards the Knights Association...it was one of the ways a family can get a contracted Knight loyal to their family or to scout a potential Knight that has little to no achievements.
And that's where our friend falls under.
...
"How are the guards looking for me?" Yusuf questioned as he looked around him, entering the Knights Association without an expression to his handsome face, now dressed as a regular Knight, he had no achievements to speak off except being drafted to different areas of the city to keep the peace and security.
Yusuf went to the reception where the receptionist greeted him politely as she inquired about his motives of coming to her,
"I wanted to know about the bounty on the underworld Assassin, Ghost." Yusuf said with a tranquil expression wondering what exactly made such a bounty on his head.
"Ah, I see. The bounty was placed by the Gates Family, the ruling centre, pillar and family of the city as you know... What he or she had done isn't mentioned but the amount placed on their head is the sum of five thousand gold coins. Payment is given dead or alive...as long as his head is brought to the family head." The receptionist accouted everything she had received concerning the information on the bounty....She hadn't found it strange of his questions concerning the bounty on the Ghost, there had been other knights who had asked the same questions.
Giving her his thanks, Yusuf went to the assignment board as he looked at the different assignments that Knights could do and earn points or coins. However, just as he was about to pick a job that would send him to work at the slums where he could easily protect his sister...The entire association went silent.
Wondering what was going on, he turned his attention from the board and saw the reason why the association went silent. Someone from the Gates family had arrived and not just anyone, it's youngest...
'It's this kid again?' Yusuf thought as he turned his attention from the walking little demon, he knew that he himself was considered a bad guy but compared to this child, he was a walk in the park. After he had cured his sister, he started to think again about everything that happened and the more he hought about it the more he was sure that he was never in control of the situation as he thought he was.
Indeed, he was stronger and if he truly wanted he could have killed the kid without listening to any of the rubbish he was saying, throwing it off as mere ramblings one would say to try and avoid death...But this kid, he was not spouting bullshit even putting his life on the line but of his own willingness this time to make sure that the deal went through, not even a high ranked mage sure enough of the information like he was would make such a deal, despite the conditions.
Trying his hardest not to look at the black haired kid so he would not notice his presence, looking at the Knight beside him, he saw the Knight wide eyed as his lips shook a bit. Noticing such a weird thing happening, he followed the gaze of the Knight to see a black haired kid walking towards him...
'Shit, he really does know who I am?' Yusuf thought to himself as he thought of the different scenarios that could play out in his head, if he tried to run, it would be suspicious and his identity could be exposed, making his sister unsafe.
However according to the contract they had, he would not talk about his identity to anyone, nor what they did together, so that served to assure Yusuf a little bit...Though one thing was missing, he still hadn't told the identity of who hired him to the kid..wait, is that what he was here for?
Yusuf looked at the black haired kid who stopped in front of him as he other knights took a step back all around him, leaving Yusuf to be alone in front of the kid...
Thinking about what could explain why a member of the Gates family was in front of a regular Knight with no accomplishments was something that couldn't easily be done,
"Well, Excuse me..." Gates said with a smile on his face, the smile seemed to hint at something as his eyes bore a hole into Yusuf's being, making the entire encounter to the two of them snap into place. Yusuf felt it, the magic contract react to the kid...
"Ah, sorry." Yusuf apologised as he took a step to the side as the kid walked past him to the board to drop a set of papers on the board...
Turning and walking by him, the kid turned to him with a knowing smile before walking back to his guard whom waited for him at the reception.
