"Sir, I don't have much money sir, please let me go, there are small children in my family. They are dependent on me. Sir, please leave me."
Hearing his words, my facial expressions became strange 'This guy what is he talking about, Am I a thief, a dacoit, When did I ask him for money? Why is he so scared?' I continued while deleting his words from my mind, "I am not even asking for if you want. I can give you money myself. You can earn so much that your wife and children can live without any tension for a year. But for that you have to do one thing for me. If you don't do that, you will not live. If you do anything wrong, you will die and our whole family will die along with you."
He got scared after hearing my words but I could clearly see greed in his eyes. I knew that he will definitely do my work because money can make everything possible.
He was scared yes, but perhaps his greed was becoming a ray of hope and he asked overcoming his fear. " what do I have to do?"
I thrust a note into his hands and said, "You will go and give this note to your mistress, that too without anyone noticing it. If you do this work well, you will get so much money from me that you cannot even imagine, but if something goes wrong, you may even lose your life."
He held the note in his hands and looking at me asked again. "I just have to see this note and come back. Then I will get the money and you will let me go"
I nodded my head and threw a silver coin towards him and signaled him to leave. Seeing the coin he went away happily.
As soon as he left, Prince asked me and said, "Can you tell me one thing honestly? You were a total scumbag in your world, right? You have spent all your life threatening and backstabbing others right?whatever story you told me about being a playboy was all a facade wasn't it?"
I ignored Prince's words once again and started waiting for her to come.
When the Prince could not find any answers to his questions, he asked me again, "You are waiting for her. Do you think she will come?"
This time I answered his question and said, "She will definitely come. Whatever I have written in the note, if it is known to anyone else, her life will be over. She knows this, so she will definitely come meet me."
After listening to me, the Prince asked me again, "If it is so important, do you think she will let you live, will she not try to kill you?"
I smiled and said praising him, "I don't think so, but even if she tries, do you think she will succed when I have one of the strongest sword master with me? Nah not happening and I have full faith in your skills."
The prince was very happy to hear his praise and did not ask any further questions.
I thought to myself, 'she will never try to harm me. Not untill she is convinced that there is no other force behind me'.
Prince's silence didn't last long and he asked me, "Do you know anything about her because I don't? Royal family's education is only about the nobles. There is practically nothing about their families. Yes, at the most, we are told about the heirs of important houses."
"Don't worry, In this world If anyone knows her most it would be me" I said and thought,
Adriana's Story,
Adriana Morey, the name of the woman I am going to meet, She is half-fairy. It is said that fairies always keep people she likes for herself. It might sound good, but the one who experiences it might not be able to handle it, Adriana wasn't able to handle it as well and ran away leaving her parents behind.
Adriana's mother was a fairy while her father was a human being, they both fell in love and soon Adriana was born. A few years after her birth, her father's health started deteriorating. His condition could have been better if he had gone out of the city for treatment but Adriana's mother didn't like the idea of him leaving her and killed him and put him to sleep with her forever.
When little Adriana saw this, she couldn't bear it and ran away from it all, Perhaps she thought that a new city would give her a new life. A life in which she could forget all her sorrows but life had chosen something else for her. She was caught by a man and he sold to her slave traders for some coins.
For years she didn't get good food, water or for the matter even clothes and she had to do a lot of work. She was kept in a locked room and when her body started developing and started showing womanly charm she was sold.
A man bought her, she was scared at first but later she came to know that that man was going to marry her.
Once again, a ray of hope began to emerge within her. She thought, this person might be a little different from all of them and thought he would atleast treat her better than those traders. Everything was good for a few days, that man married her, he was a noble and he evern gave her a respectable position(as a countess), he never forced himself on her and she was no longer being treated as a slave, but this happiness didn't last long.
