Velzard POV

One day I was just drinking tea in the ice palace when I suddenly noticed that my little brother Veldora's presence has disappeared

' It seems like he died earlier than expected'

I didn't pay it any attention since it really was irrelevant. I knew that this moment will come sooner or later, I just thought that it will not happen in the next hundred years or so

I decided not to free Veldora only because I saw his imprisonment as a suitable punishment for his actions

He is just a spoiled brat that does everything that he pleases and doesn't even think of the consequences

I tried to, oh so generously, educate him so many times, but he always just acts even worse after

I noticed that in years prior to his imprisonment he started to avoid me

' I wonder why?'

Anyway, I decided not to pay much attention to this problem since Veldora will be reborn soon

...

It has been about a month since Veldora disappeared. There are rumors going around about a town of monsters being built in Jura forest, but both me and Guy decided to leave it alone since we are not really interested

When we are talking about Guy there is one thing I need to make absolutely clear

I. DON'T. LIKE. HIM.

Guy is a good friend and someone I see as a brother, but nothing more than it. If I have to put it into simpler terms, we are childhood friends

The only reason why I live with him is that big brother Veldanava asked me to do so I can watch over him, to make sure that he is doing his duties as a moderator of the Cardinal world properly. I agreed to it but we also made a deal that I will move out when the time comes, when I find someone I truly want to spend eternity with

Right now I was preparing to go for a walk in that famous dwarven kingdom, I think that its name was Dwargon

The last time I visited it was about two or three thousand years ago, and from what I heard from Mizery, the current king is a grandson of the one I met back then

After I made sure that I got everything that I need, I opened a portal and went to a hidden alley in the kingdom

I didn't want to make a fuss with my appearance so I decided to be discrete. I completely hid my aura even before coming here so I don't rise any suspicion about me being here

After exiting an alley I started walking around the busy streets of the Dwargon

Many people were going on with their lives and not paying me any attention, but there were still the insolent ones that were giving me dirty looks

I was not even surprised that they were humans. Their faces were fat with lips that looked like they were injected with fat. Their hands were decorated with at the first glance expensive jewelry but when you pay closer attention you could notice that they were just cheap copies. They were fat to the point that one might think that they are just hours away from giving birth. They wore expensive clothes that were clearly stolen, proof being the not so well hidden blood stains they had on them

I gave them one warning glare and they all just looked in the other direction

Soon I came to the booth that was selling sweets. Maybe I don't look like it but I really like sweets, so I came and looked at what they have to offer

There were candies in many colors and cookies with both white and black chocolate

I bought some of both and kind old lady, well at least for dwarf old, packed them in a paper bag
