“No need for the formalities. I was out on a tour of the city because I had heard of some bad things from a very reliable source. And when I came here, I find my son saying some unbelievable things.” The man before me who had just finished speaking is King Gravos himself and Adel’s father, as well as the idiot prince’s father. I did not say anything as the King stared down Prince Lance. It’s not that I couldn’t, but I wanted to see just how the prince would respond. I can say, however, is that…

The next day things were looking up. The paperwork was quickly done, and I now officially own the plot of land that I had looked at. This meant I could go and begin kicking out those who were bad and using the place to do as they please. Of course, I was not doing this alone. I had a team of people, including many knights, with me. I brought the nights that Sir Randford left behind to round up all the criminals so they could do their just time for the sins they have committed. Of course, my team also…

Currently, I was standing with two other people. One was Sophie, and the other was Thurul. We were looking at a site at the entrance of the east side slums that Thurul had found out from his friend that his friend wanted to sell. It housed a great deal of shanties and was being sold cheaply at only ten gold. “This is the place?” I asked to confirm that I was looking at the right place. From what I could see, there were at least one hundred families living on this land. Some of them came out and looked…

After my battle with Gesel, Sophie and I were finally given our mercenary ID cards. Gesel still seemed a bit down about losing the fight, but that only lasted a little while when I said I would treat her to something good, which she quickly dragged me away from the guild to go to a stall not far away that had pastries. While I liked sweets myself, Gesel was a connoisseur. “Gesel, when is the tournament again?” “At the end of the week. So do not miss it. I want revenge for today!” Gesel said with a…

As I soar through the air, I wonder to myself. Why do I let things like this happen? Why do I not think before I rush in? I am now realizing that no matter how many times I am proven wrong, I still have this notion that I am stronger than the person I am fighting. But here I am after one clash flying through the air like a leaf caught in the wind. — Moments earlier….. “Faith, are you ready?” Gesel asked me as she readied her massive sword. She looked very excited to be having this battle with…

“Now that I think about it, Faith, did you come to the guild for?” Gesel asked. After getting caught up in a conversation with her, I had almost forgotten my original goal of coming here. “Ah, right, I came to sign up to become a mercenary with Sophie. I need to make some side money.” I really needed to get some money together. I did not know where I would find a place to set up my factory. I did, however, think about maybe building one at the edge of the slums. And maybe slowly trying to…

Who would have guessed that the red bottom technique that I received so many times would actually come in handy? That night when I got home, I slept very soundly after getting a bit of revenge on the brat. The next day we took a carriage down to the mercenary guild. The size and scope of this building compared to the one in Hammerlin was like night and day. But this was to be expected. After all, this was the capital. Sophie clutched onto my arm as we walked through the door. This time though, unlike my…

Both Sophie and I, who were just about to step through the door of the shop, turned to see a young man that I think I recognized. Blue hair, ice blue eyes…. Wasn’t this the same kid that tried to capture me when I killed the bandits and saved him? My lips curled up into a sneer as I saw the little brat’s smug expression acting as if he was king of the world. “Clean your shoes? Are you sure?” I asked with a bright smile. I guess he took my answer as me saying I really want to clean your shoes.…

The next day after saying goodbye to Adel who was heading back to the castle, Sophie and I took a carriage to Thurul’s place and were once again sitting in his meeting room. “Oh, so many orders already?” Thurul sipped his tea and nodded his head. “Luckily, the process of making the pens is quite simple. But quality checking each pen will be hard without extra hands. After the quality check, they need to be recleaned before they can be sold, which requires more people.” “Yeah, I figured as…

Our little tea party finally came to an end, and all in all, it was quite a fun experience. As we were leaving, Miss Dollen made me promise not to ignore her at the academy. It was good to meet another noble who did not discriminate against me or Sophie. The other noble girls also seemed to be rather fond of Sophie as well. Which I think helped Sophie a great deal since she seemed to have loosened up quite a bit by the end of the tea party. On the way back, my eyes began to grow heavy. I think I was both…
