The first task Arryn was given was reconnaissance. The young man asked Ivy to do it. Did she succeed in doing the reconnaissance? Keep following my story and don't forget to vote, review, and share with your friends. Thank you and Happy Reading :)
***Evening.Arryn continued to stir the warm chicken soup the innkeeper had brought him. Arryn's needs at the inn were under the responsibility of the city's government, so the young man did not spend a penny on this meal.He sat on the sofa with the soup bowl placed on the wooden table. Right before the table was Ivy, who had been preparing for a reconnaissance mission; Arryn had asked her to do it tonight."Are you sure you won't eat before you go? You're going to have a difficult and tiring reconnaissance there," Arryn replied, looking quietly at Ivy with his face completely uncovered by the white mask."I'm still full," Ivy said.That was good if the meal had managed to stave off her hunger. However, no matter what, after she finished her reconnaissance, Arryn had to provide food for her.The young man continued to eat the warm soup that was provided for him; the soup was savoury and quite spicy. Those flavours did not destroy the overall taste of the food; even Arryn felt like a
"What is it? Do you need a lot of information about the disunity within the city?" asked one of the men, sitting next to Arryn after he overheard the conversation between the young man and the maid. Arryn turned his head slowly, paying close attention to the man's face and body. He seemed like he wanted to join in on the conversation between Arryn and the maid, but his enthusiasm was something Arryn had to be wary of; he could be someone assigned to hurt Arryn. "Who are you?" asked Arryn, wanting to know the name of the man who approached him. "My name is Mason. I'm a journalist in this town," replied the man, lowering his black hat as he extended his right hand. Arryn shook Mason's right hand tightly. It was a coincidence that he met a journalist inside the bar. If Arryn looked back, especially the expression on Mason's face. Arryn did not sense any serious threat from the man at all. "From which newspaper company?" asked the barmaid, squinting her eyes to confirm Mason's workpla
Arryn could have gotten rid of them easily, but his location in the city center made people risk getting hurt. In the end, Arryn agreed to the blue-clad man's request to speak with Arryn one-on-one. The man in blue nodded his head. He walked first, followed by Arryn, and finally by his five bodyguards, who always held their swords. They were wary of Arryn's presence, especially considering the young man's clothes. "It's like you're treating me like a criminal," Arryn said, occasionally glancing behind him at the five male guards. "We certainly don't want to, but after hearing your conversation earlier, we feel threatened by you," the man replied. The man was clearly threatening Arryn because the young man knew too much about the dispute between the two nobles. However, the expression on his face was completely different. He smiled broadly with both eyes closed, a truly cold-blooded trait. "I'm sure you're no ordinary person. No foreigner would want to know exactly what happened to
"W-Who are you?" asked Arslan, pointing rudely at Arryn's face because the young man had destroyed the Howlingbird's roof. Arryn turned to look at Arslan, and not long after, he walked over while brandishing a sword at the man. The blade of the sword with the blazing fire felt warm when it was close to Arslan's neck, making the man instantly break out in cold sweat from fear. "Are you planning a coup against the government?" asked Arryn, squinting his eyes as he stared intently at the man before him. "N-No. I'm not the one planning the coup," Arslan replied. It was clear from Arryn's eyes that Arslan's face turned pale white, his hands trembling in fear that Arryn would swing the sword and cut off his head easily at any moment. From behind Arryn's back, three soldiers in thick armor were seen running fast with both hands tightly grasping long swords. Their faces covered by a protective helmet, they sped confidently as if they could knock Arryn down. Arryn pointed his sword at the
Arryn stepped closer to the two people who could use magic. He took the gem in their hands and smashed the item until it broke by stepping on it. After the blue-coloured gem was destroyed, the magic circle blocking this room's exit began to fade. Arryn tried to open the door, which finally opened without any obstruction. "Do you stand with Luningard?" the old man asked, annoyance on his face. "I do not stand for anyone. I stand only for the people. They are my first priority to be saved from your threat," Arryn explained. "If you try to hurt the citizens of this city, then I will not hesitate to stop you!" said Arryn, threatening them with a solemn threat. As Arryn walked out of the room, several people were gathered in front of the Howlingbird noble leader's room. Most of them were curious about the discussion held between Arryn and their leaders. [Summoning System: Fire Cloak Phoenix] The young man again cast a fire magic spell to bring up a fire armour that protected him, alo
*** The next day. The man Arryn had asked for finally arrived. Albert came at 7 am alone; he was not escorted by his members. He entered Arryn's room and met the young man, who was relaxing while enjoying the refreshing morning air that flowed into his room. "How are you?" greeted Albert, extending his right hand forward, asking Arryn to shake his hand firmly. "Fine. How about you?" asked Arryn back, Albert only answering him with a smile clearly written on his face. Arryn was currently seen sitting on the single sofa, drinking the hot tea he had made while staring at the room's window. Albert was invited to sit on the long sofa close to Arryn. "There's something I need to discuss in secret with him. Would you mind waiting outside, Ivy?" asked Arryn. Ivy smiled. The woman didn't mind Arryn's request at all. She thought that perhaps what the two of them would talk about was so sensitive that it only needed to be known by those two people. Ivy walked slowly to the room door and w
Right after Albert walked out, Ivy entered and saw Arryn standing right in the doorway. Arryn's eyes met Ivy's, as well as the maid who had been accompanying him."How was it? A quick appointment, I'd say," Ivy said."Not really much to discuss. Pack up; we're moving out of this inn," Arryn explained, the statement taking Ivy by surprise, as Arryn had asked her so abruptly."Right now? But why?" asked Ivy, curious."I'll tell you when we arrive," Arryn replied.In the end, Ivy nodded her head. She walked inside with Arryn to start packing the things they would take with them, from clothes to snacks. It wasn't much, but things were things, and they weighed different things.There was a soft knock on the door of Arryn's room, and a maid arrived to offer to help clean up. However, Arryn and Ivy refused because their belongings were few."It's okay, we can do it ourselves," Ivy replied, seen carrying a bag that already included all of their belongings.The two walked out of the room, with
"Nice place, by the way. I didn't expect you to have such a nice house in the depths of the forest," Arryn replied, praising the gorgeous interior inside Albert's old residence. Although he was the Commander of the City Guard, Albert could not be underestimated when it came to taste in interiors. The beauty of Albert's house reminded Arryn of the famous interior designs in medieval times. Compared to the houses Arryn had been to in the past, Albert's was one with an exciting interior. However, one unfortunate thing was the house's condition, which was filled with dust. "So, about my meeting with Major Luxizar. It looks like I won't be able to make it to the government office," Arryn replied, seeing that his condition was starting to deteriorate just from walking from his inn all the way to this old house in the forest. "If you really need his presence, then I will ask that man to come here," Albert replied, reassuring Arryn that the man would call the mayor to come to his residence
