The conversation between Tobias and Giselle was overheard by a man. He sat in the lobby waiting for his turn due to Giselle's brothel's reservation system.He looked at the two who happened to be talking in front of him. Tobias and Giselle seemed to discuss school preparations for Keira, Theo, and Mira."Sorry, I was listening to your conversation," the man replied.The man stood up, wearing a gray-black shirt that matched his body. Tobias's eyes were distracted, looking at the stranger beside him."I heard you were rejected to join the Valestrian Military Academy? Am I right?" the man asked.Tobias nodded. He glanced slowly at Giselle to confirm the man's identity before him, but the man preferred to introduce himself."My name is Dean Lithor. I am the commander of Mordor's noble family guard," replied the man named Dean."I'm Tobias," Tobias said briefly.Dean lightly patted Tobias' right shoulder with a smile, "I have a solution to your problem, Lord Tobias.""You just need to appl
*** The next day "It seems like the head of the district gave the news too much credit." That's what Tobias said to Giselle when he realized the brothel's visitors on the second day were getting bigger. Because of the reservation system, people who had just arrived and wanted to get laid would not make it. He had to sign up at least in the morning or the day before. Giselle kept a record of the people who reserved the prostitutes for the next day, as all six were full for today. Although the gold coins spent were higher than Gordon's or the brothels in the eastern area, those rich people did not hesitate to spend it to feel those beautiful women. The woman turned to Tobias, standing near his desk, "Would you mind traveling around again? Find the best women and buy them off." She handed Tobias a gold coin bag totaling one hundred gold coins, and the man accepted without arguing. Since he had nothing else to do, he thought Giselle's offer was not bad. "Alright. Maybe I will bring
The palace guards walked into the throne room, three in number and wearing white armor. The three stepped up to Tobias after Constantine's order to keep Tobias in prison.Tobias' kneeling body was instructed to get up. One of the palace guards removed the weapon from Tobias' hand. One of the rules in the prison was not to allow prisoners to bring swords or weapons into the prison.Constantine strode slowly back to his throne and sat down to receive another guest. The prison room Constantine was referring to was a special cell for the White Palace, used to keep troubled people within the palace.The room location was in the palace basement, guarded by palace guards with the same armor. Tobias' dark blue sword was kept in a warehouse near the prison room. They would not harm the sword."That's funny. You're treating me like a fugitive criminal," Tobias said."Silence!" said the guards.Tobias and the two palace guards carrying him stopped befo
Elena and Falco turned to Tobias, the young man smiling broadly as someone came to let him out of prison. Tobias was sure they must bring something to support his earlier argument."So, can I talk to King Constantine about this?" Tobias asked.The woman before Tobias fell silent. She stood up and left the interrogation room, Falco by her side. The two of them made their way to the throne room to ensure the information she had just got.Tobias was left alone in the interrogation room, with his ankles still shackled in iron cuffs. The guards stood tall outside the interrogation room, hesitant to enter as there were no orders from Falco or Queen Elena.When Queen Elena and Falco arrived in the throne room, the situation was still the same as before. However, the only difference is the guests who come to visit. Elena saw the figure of Giselle, who had grown into a beautiful girl, kneeling facing the King accompanied by the old man Viseryon beside Giselle.
The people in the crowd were no longer paying attention to Tobias, unlike before when he was being paraded by the Holy Cavalry toward the White Palace. They were too busy taking care of their business rather than remembering what had happened to Tobias.That day, the main street leading to the palace's south gate was bustling. Not only were townspeople trading, but King Constantine's guests from everywhere were also arriving with specific intentions.Tobias didn't care about that. The young man continued to walk by, ignoring the activities of the people around him as Tobias' right hand seemed to be holding the scroll Liluca had given him.His curiosity was high, but Tobias did not want to be reckless by opening the scroll. Let Giselle explain to him about her conversation with King Constantine later; it was better than unrolling the letter.In the distance, Tobias could see Giselle's brothel after walking for about 45 minutes from the White Palace's south
***With Tobias' belongings in tow, he continued to drive his mount through the crowded areas of the city's main street. The village he was heading to was Leafvile, a small village atop a hill and quite a distance from the western gates of Valestria.Tobias knew the name because Leafvile was the only village west of Valestria. The young man tried asking every person he met, and most of them mentioned the same name.From afar, the western gate of Valestria was visible, with merchants passing in and out of the city. The guard was the same as the guard at the east gate. There was no difference even though the war location was east of Valestria.Tobias got out easily, using the gold plate of Archibald's nobility, which surprised the three gate guards. One of the three guards continued to watch Tobias leave through the dirt road toward the direction behind the hill. He had no idea what the young nobleman's destination was.The atmosphere outside the Eques
Hearing Tobias curse made Hogar's heart burn even hotter as if he had been whipped by a firebrand until he forgot about Tobias' status. The man ordered his four men to attack Tobias to measure the young man's ability.Without using his Myurajin Moon technique, Tobias swung a sword pointed at the dirty hands of those who had tortured the villagers. The sharp blade of Tobias' sword clearly cut the four men's right hands, causing them to fall with a loud scream.It was a neat cut like Tobias was cutting meat. They lay helplessly on the ground, blood flowing freely, until one of the four asked the villagers for help tying a rope around his hand.Hogar's face, which had looked confident at first, began to falter as he saw his four men defeated so easily by Tobias. The youth's eyes were now fixed on Hogar, who pulled out his sword, a type of longsword commonly used in Equestria."Don't mess with me! I was once part of the Valestrian army!" snapped Hogar.
