"we're here." She said as we entered a tiny room with a bed and a lamp then a small window
Reminds me of where I slept before I was reborn here
"Sorry, it's just a small room, I'll sleep on the floor, you're the visitor so you can have the bed." She said
"Thank you," I respond
"So, anyway, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"I guess, but I want to buy souvenirs first, is there any other shop here?" I genuinely asked
"There's plenty. We might be commoners but we worked hard to survive," she replied "I'll make us breakfast tomorrow morning, I'm gonna be busy taking good care of the bar so I better sleep early. Goodnight, Shena"
It's cold outside, I was looking out the window and saw something
A guy riding a horse
He was wearing a hood and his face is mostly covered
There's a child in front of him, a girl to be exact
I thought children aren't allowed to go outside during these hours.
He kissed the child's forehead and gave her a pocket full of coins
He rode his horse again and went outside the Casterpone Village
Who is he?
It's already morning and no one's in the room
I went to the bar and saw Skey cleaning the cups
"Good morning to you," she said "Eat the breakfast I made,"
A strawberry with egg and a bread
"Looks good, thank you"
I ate the breakfast she offers. I'm still thinking about the mysterious guy last night, what did he do to the girl? Why did he give her money?
I found a dagger beside Skey
"Hey, uhm, can I have the dagger over there?" I asked
"It's for sale, warriors bought these daggers."
I gave her 20 gold coins
"Is this enough?" I asked
She was shocked as she looked at the coins I put on the table
"Where did you get it? Are these coins real?"
"Of course it is, I don't do purloin"
"Oh god, this is too much!"
I know, the ducal's state has more money than that, at least I can donate some of it to her somehow, besides she offers me a place to sleep and to eat
"Please take the money, Skey,"
"Thank you! How can I ever repay you?" She bows down
"There's no need to repay me, thank you for the food by the way,"
She handed me the dagger and I'm getting ready to go outside her bar
"Hey, Shena.."
"Hmm?" I looked at her
"Are you really a commoner?"
"Maybe" I smiled at her and went out
I have to find Zian as soon as possible
