Chapter 24 : An Unpaid debt
----
" This is enough son.. I don't think that he has already paid for what he has done, but I do think that if you charge anymore on him...
he will die..... "
[Bang...]
" Then he should just die."
Unhesitating, Morad folded his hands, his matured eyes were filled with concern and advise :
" I heard from Natalie, you don't understand how things work here... Killing a noble is the same as challenging athe rulers authority..."
" I don't know how strong you are but what I surely know is you are responsible for two more lives that are bounded to you... If...."
" Ok ok.... Old man, stop pestering, I get it... So what you want to say is killing them would be bad for your tavern.. "
" No.. no.. that's not... " Morad's eyes broadened, his eyes filled with amazement.
' this young man... He he he... He knows how to save the day.'
" Yes! It is exactly what I mean. If you kill him here it will put me and my tavern in a tough position. "
A devilish smirk stretched on William's face,
" Ha ha ha... Old man I see what you mean. You want me to kill them somewhere else. "
Panicked to hell, Mady jumped in fear,
" oyye.. oldie, this isn't helping. "
Natalie, tightening the grip on her dagger, made a small cut near Mady's throat. Threatening: " you speak another word and you will loose your head. "
Looking at Natalie, William chuckled, ' quite a dangerous one '
William stood up, facing Mady who was scared to hell and about to shit his pants,
William ordered :
" Take your young master or whatever with you, and don't show up here ever again.... Not until you want to die.."
Natalie, retracted the dagger from Mady's neck.
His eyes gained lights of hope, his fast breaths trying to catch up. He rushed to his master, picking him up from the ground.
Daniel's face was already shattered, his nose was broken his mandible displaced.
' oh my god... What am I gonna do, how am I gonna report about this incident to the Madam..... I am so dead.... '
William who was already sitted at another table, ordered in cold voice :
" Ahhh... Also remember to pay for all the things that are broken in here. "
Mady took out a pouch and handed it to Morad, supporting his master he walked out of the tavern doors without speaking even a word.
" That was so different from what I expected..."
" Yeah man... I thought he will just kill them all, but man, he let them walk away, what a let down man.... "
" Hear yourselves you bastards, do you have the guts to even touch a noble...? That man has just declared war with an entire noble family..."
Many different whispers echoed through the hall, some reached William's ears some didn't.
Indifferent with all the coments, William looked at Natalie. She was standing at a distance with her eyes fixed on William,blushing and lost in some thought.
William signs towards her to bring bottles of alcohols, but even before she could react, Artha walked past her, towards William, with a plate that had bottles of alcohols on it.
Placing all of them in front of William, Artha stood near him, staring at him with glittering eyes,
' cool.. cool.. cool... How cool all of that was, the way sir William fought for elder sister.... It was just breathtaking... "
" I wonder if what Elder sister Natalie said about sir William is really true? "
Natalie standing at a distance kept staring at William, ' why would master do something like this... I thought he isn't interested in keeping us as his slaves.. then the best thing to do to get rid of us... is to sell us... And the price that that noble boy was giving wasn't something so easy to refuse....'
Her face was all confused unable to comprehend the reason behind such actions, she couldn't understand what did he really wanted from her.
----
It was already beyond midnight.
The tavern hall was empty, except there was still this one man. William, his head was down on the table, which was filled with more than 20 empty bottles of alcohol.
Drunk and lost his consciousness, his cheeks were all read. His hairs fell towards the side, portraying a face of a man that looked innocent.
Artha walked up to his table and cleared everything, smiling she handed everything to Morad.
She tried to help William stand by giving him support with her shoulder.
Morad confused : " what are you doing ? "
Artha Warmly smiling at the dozing William,
" today was a tough evening for sir, I believe he will be able to rest better in his bed. "
" No.. thi.. whereeee.."
William, he was so drunk he couldn't even speak a single word properly.
He held Artha's hand, his eyes unable to even open.
" Sir, I am taking you to big sister...."
" Ayyy.. no.. no... She will scold me for drinking so much..."
' huh... Who is sir William talking about ! Does big sister Natalie scolds master? '
----
Natalie was sitting on her bed. She still hasn't changed from that red dress. The lamp burning in the room exposed her tensed eyes.
' what should I do... '
' what mister Morad has said is true, there is no way that that noble family will let us go so easily..'
' but why did master react so aggressively ? Was it because he touched master's collar, or was it for my sake...'
" They will definitely come for revenge... "
[ Tak... Tak.. takkk.... ]
' huh... So late at night... Who could it be? '
