Chereads / Desmir and The count / Chapter 10 - preparing for a battle

Chapter 10 - preparing for a battle

We head upstairs to lady Akina room. She sits down and smiles.

"So your father why him." Desmir asks

"My father was many things, a saint not among them. He was taking orders from a Nurin Lord to kill the king. And start a war among the Mortals. He had to be put down. She smiles at me. Eyes glowing.

I scratch my head. Puzzled with this new piece of information.

"Any way." she says waving away another quesiton and Clapping her hands she says "We must discuss your target. "

"Lord Leo." Desmir growls

Yes he has been with Count Marshal for a few centuries now. "

"Wait he was always a Vampire?" Demise asks confused

"No you fool a Nurin , stop calling us vampires, and also please stop with your infernal questions."

Desmir looks awaying smirkin "Still have a lot to learn about patience eh Akina?"

Akina laughs, "Not something I planned on Training during my time in the world."

"Why would a Nruin want to kill my family and destroy my village?" Desmir asks

" That I don't know. What I do know is that after that he was prompted even further through his Counts ranks. You have permission to kill Lord Leo however the more bloodshed that you give to that Counts army the easier it would be to get rid of them. She hands me a letter. This is a letter of approval from the Count. And a party invited to Lord Leo's house. He will be throwing a feast. Trying to earn greater favors with the Mortals here. "

"He is here in town?"

"Yep He was given orders to meet you here and to dispose of you quickly then take the town soon after. Wear something nice Des you current rags will surely put him on to your scent. " She says grabbing her nose

"Thank you my lady,"Desmir says and bows to her.

"Desmir we are equals from now on. I don't not wish for you to be so formal around me." she says shaking her head from side to side

"Of course Milady"

"Ah" she holds up a finger and stops me.

"Akina." Desmir corrects

"Remember your Training Desmir you'll need it". And with that Desmir leaves the room to make his way back down stairs.

Desmir returns to the lower floor for his Rum biscuits waiting for him and sits beging his drink as this may be my last night as a human ,or even alive. Desmir smiles at his own fear. For many long nights Desmir have envisioned this man's death. The things he would ask. But now it seems he is even more lost then before he started. Akina and Ratomir are alive. Not only that but they are Nurin. More questions cloud his mind. Why I was not bloodied right away.

"More rum sire? and old man approaches with a just of rum "

"Yes, barkeep it filled. "

"Of course my liege." the man says pouring the drink

Desmir guzzles down the next three drinks without much thought. As his anger for this man ignites him once again. this man will die for not only what he has done to Desmir and his family "

"I swear it" he says just as he did some many years ago.

Soon Desmir falls silent and begins to pass out at the bar but wakes up to the bartender tapping his shoulder. "Sire we can make a room for you if you desire. the barkeeper says "

"No it is quite fine." Desmir answers Desmir then looks at the man and asks

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"You come from the Manor of Count tempus protecting this land and only few people know of her existence or what she is."

"You know of my Count?" Desmir is confused, unable to assume that a mortal knew of his Count just what was this place Desmir Asks. This is my pub the Orbit just a few towns over from where Count Tempus Manor is.

I see and you know of Nurin.

Yes Count Tmepus saved my kids from some of less civcl ones and Implore that i eat up as a Pub a few towns away.

so you know of Lady veda and

yes my lord but i do fear time isn't something waste on questions.

Yes perhaps you are right "Thank you for all your help." Desmir stands up. "I believe all I need is a walk." and he begins to walk towards the door, Desnmir stops and flips him a gold coin for your troubles.

"My name is Milic Rychly by the way." the bar keep says

"I will remember that Milic." Desmir says as he opens the door."Stay safe desmir ." He hears Millic whispers. Desmir opens the door and begins walking to find nice, clean clothes for the party
