Halbert led Tobias and Giselle to the prison, not at the residence but next to this place. Halbert walked slowly. Because of the man's size, he had to break stride occasionally to take a breath. Tobias glanced at Giselle. Both siblings knew what was happening to Halbert; his weight made it difficult for the man to walk far. But Halbert did it anyway, considering Tobias and Giselle were part of House Archibald, a noble with a higher rank than him. If the bulky man refused, he risked being isolated and even bullied. Along the way to the prison, Tobias and Giselle often saw poorly dressed and dirty villagers carried by well-built men. Neither of them suspected that many people were trapped by the debt Halbert had given them. "Don't worry about them. It's not your business," Halbert said. He opened the side door of his residence, stepping out to arrive at a box-shaped place with windows made of iron bars. Halbert proudly displayed the prison he had made for debtors who refused to pay.
***Three days later.Nashant City."There is no instant in sword training. Everything requires a process," Tobias said.He maintained the pace of Theo's training so that the boy would not get tired while doing it. Like the training Tobias had done with his teacher, physical resistance is an important thing for a swordsman to survive long enough on the battlefield.Tobias and Theo practised using the inn's backyard. Although Theo already had the black sword Tobias had given him, he still had not learned Tobias' Myurajin Moon technique."Why don't we practice the technique?" Theo asked."I could teach you, but you would get exhausted with every movement in the technique," Tobias replied, crossing his arms as he looked seriously at Theo.The boy was still doing physical exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, etc. Tobias doesn't hesitate to make Theo run around the backyard for a dozen laps.Currently, Theo is jogging around the backyard. He continues to do it even though the boy starts br
"Wait. Coming to Valestria? Don't you know how far the city is from here?" asked Tobias, surprised at Keira's statement. "I do, and I don't care. If it's something I can do to make friends, I'll do it!" said Keira. Tobias stepped softly near Giselle, whispering something into her left ear. The man thought something was wrong with Keira's head and asked her to leave the girl immediately. "You should not do that. You will get karma later," Giselle snapped. Giselle asked Keira to go home and talk to her parents first. They did not want Keira's trip to Valestria to cause new problems for Tobias and Giselle. "Go home and talk to your parents about this," Giselle said. Tobias looked at her like she was writing something down on paper. "If they allow you, come to this house, and you'll see us again," Giselle replied, smiling as she handed Keira a note with an address if she could go to Valestria. Keira was even more enthusiastic about going, especially when she had found a new purpose
Tobias and Giselle walked outside the Viseryon house, waiting for Jake to arrive after delivering things to one of their brothels. Tobias still disagreed with Giselle's opinion. He could not possibly work in a place full of sin."Why don't we work somewhere else?" Tobias asked."Where? To whom? Do you have friends in this city?" asked Giselle."Didn't you come here with Father? You must know them, right?""I don't know either his name or where he lives. The most realistic thing for us is to accept Viseryon's offer," Giselle replied, dropping the conversation between her and Tobias."But working as an owner—"Tobias' words were interrupted by Giselle when the woman saw Jake arrive alone. She didn't greet him since she didn't know him very well.Jake stepped into the house, ignoring Tobias and Giselle. He met with Viseryon, where the white-haired old man immediately told Jake to go take Archibald's children to the brothel, located south of where the two would be working.The house door
***Tobias left the brothel with Marcela. He rode a horse with her behind him. Her body, which was previously only wearing a thin dress, was now completely covered by Tobias' coat.No one knew their destination, which gave Tobias and Marcela a sense of security. However, caution must still be in their hearts, especially Marcela. The pimp would not let her go so easily, especially after being paid only ten gold coins.Marcela saw Tobias' riding direction was indeed directed toward Valestria. It was not easy to work in the capital, especially as a prostitute. The dream of many prostitutes in other cities was to work in Valestria, and so was Marcela.The trip from Sarastrea to Valestria only took thirty minutes. Tobias and Marcela's eyes saw the city's southern gate, lined with merchants waiting to enter."What is your name, Lord?" asked Marcela."Tobias," Tobias replied briefly."All right. Is your office quite far away, Lord Tobias?" asked Marcela, being gentle as she had become one of
"I have never heard the name before," the blonde-haired woman replied. To her, the Akihiko name was not popular in Equestria; perhaps no one would even name her that. Tobias' search for Akihiko's whereabouts would be difficult, including the possibility of Akihiko living in this world under a different name. "Who is Akihiko?" asked Giselle, who had never heard the name before. "I met her in a coma. Maybe she's living here, so I want to meet her," Tobias replied. "I'm not sure if she really exists or if it's just your imagination," said Giselle. "Forget about it. What's important is that I cannot accept your request," Tobias said, politely refusing the women's request. Although disappointed, they understood Tobias was going through puberty. Issues of love and loving were normal for them, as were the women of Giselle. The oldest of the seven Giselle women is Stephanie, aged 27, while the youngest is Marcela, 23. All seven women have felt love in their hearts but chose to keep it b
"We don't know. We're just following orders from Lord Reich," said one of the criminals whose feet and hands were bound."There's no point in asking you," Tobias complained, looking to his left and seeing Giselle's women watching from their rooms.As Reich had said earlier, the traitor was one of those women. If Tobias could find her, this problem would not be any longer.Tobias did not say anything to them, preferring to wait for Giselle's arrival, who he believed could defeat Reich Gordon's army. Several people passing by on the main road suddenly turned their attention to the once-empty house, which now seemed full of people tied up in the front yard."What is this place?" asked one of the people, looking curious.The man walked over to the curious man. He explained the house to make them surprised."Brothel. We are not Gordon, but Heimer," Tobias replied."Heimer? Don't they rule over all the brothels in the east?" asked the townsman, a middle-aged man who appeared to be lifting a
After a long argument with Giselle about giving the noble envoy to Mira, Giselle finally relented and gave Archibald's noble plate to Tobias. However, she advised Tobias not to give a title higher than Baron.Tobias understood for sure. He ran quickly from Giselle's brothel to the Valestrian Academy of Magic. The man kept Archibald's gold plate in his pocket, which he would use to raise Mira as Baron for the procession.Although she was the Baron of the Archibald, her position was no more than a businessman noble. The position of a noble envoy is below the four tiers of nobility, but its status is higher than commoners.It didn't take long for Tobias to arrive at the Valestrian Academy of Magic. The academy guards no longer guided the man, as Tobias already knew the location of Orion's office.After about thirty minutes of waiting in Orion's office, the knock on the door was heard again. Orion told the person behind the door to come in.It was Tobias, arriving sweaty and clutching Arc
