I CAN TRAVEL BETWEEN 2 WORLDS CHAPTER 5
"What do you mean Aldi?" Ask Guild Master.
"Exactly as I said. The one I fight was no ordinary Black Bear. Normally their only defense is that they are though and their claws right? No. This guy definitely has something else. Not only his claws. His body is that of fricking steel. How the heck you guys manage to confuse it like this? I go exactly where you guys told me just now." I fumed at them for this misinformation.
"Now, now. Please calm yourself. I want to know what is going on now. This place is far away from Demon Country and only a starting place for beginners. Usually, this kind of thing happens only in the capitals." Lord Riswold said with a grim expression.
Of course, he is worried. If there is something dangerous here it will make his life here harder.
"Hm, this is actually the first time I have heard this. We are actually surprised that there is something like this here." Guild Master calmly said.
"I will ask compensation from you guys for this you know."
"Sigh, can't you let this go."
"Damn you Old man. I put my life here. Even I know that this isn't a game. There is something else going on here. Double my payment."
"I get it. That much we can do at least."
"We will even raise your rank to B."
I nod.
Good. With this, I will get 4 Gold. Very much a good thing for me.
"Proceed mine. And I will go then. Lord Riswold."
"Hold on." He said grabbing my hand.
"What are you doing Lord Riswold?"
"Where do you think you are going? You are already here right? Why don't you help me clearing things?"
"HA, are you crazy? Even if you are a noble there is some limit that I will never do for you."
"Now, now. It's not good for you to raise your voice at me. Come, Aldi. Didn't you remember that I was the one who teaches you the way around here? I even gave you a sponsor for your first mission."
"I want you to delivery some massage to the capitals!"
I sweat at this in fright. No. No. Never Capitals. Not there. I don't want to go there.
"I hear that Lady Alice is always waiting for you."
"Are you crazy? That girl has a screw loss on her head. That girl will kill me if she sees me right now." I shout about the mention of the Youngest Knight Captain.
I remember the first time I was here.
At that time I was a lost 12 years old kid.
I meet him for the first time.
A young noble lord Leonard Riswold.
He accompanies the King's youngest daughter Alice Went.
She is just a daughter of the king's concubine from Noble House Went so she didn't take the name of the king's family.
"Aldi, my knight. You have come to protect me."
I was but an impressionable child that has taken by Leonard at the time and he told me to protect the King's Daughter.
Of course, I will do that. After all. There is nothing wrong.
At the time we are attacked by a wolf.
Not a big deal. It's not like they are strong or something like that.
I just kill them and save her.
That's the start of it.
The King heard that I protect his daughter and ordered Leonard to bring me with him to the Capitals of this Kingdom.
The King is young. A handsome man that has some charisma in him.
So much that you can't help but just be bowing in his presence in awe.
I was told to be a playmate with his daughter.
The KIng turns out to be quite doting to his daughter.
Her only daughter.
"Aldi you are here. Let's play again. I made you lunch." Just for your information this girl never had a gift for cooking.
She didn't even order her servant to do the cooking stating that this is specially made for me.
I being a polite young boy eat it only to puke a second later.
She nearly cries and the knight with her wants to attack me.
"If. If you eat everything I won't cry." She says with watery eyes.
The Knight is the one who forces me to eat the poison.
Every time I want to puke they will slap me so I won't get unconscious and stay awake.
This happens until the poison is in my stomach.
Since that day.
I made a bow.
I won't step my foot on Capitals again.
No matter when Leonard calls for me.
When even Alice come here to meet me. I decide to go back to my homeworld until she goes back to Capitals.
Last I heard she finally stop cooking and become a knight.
But I haven't met her since I was 14.
I can't meet her.
My stomach aches just at the memory of it.
"Aldi. It's been a few years since her cooking incident. Come now. Don't tell me you are still traumatized by that. And besides, she didn't cook anymore. At least her cook isn't bad anymore from what I hear in the Capitals. You won't even meet her there. She should be in the frontier subjugating the Goblin Village. I tell you a few days ago. Remember?"
I shake my head to resist the memory of the refuge.
"Good. But I won't come there."
"This is important. It's not something I can anyone else go. I trust you."
"I will give you 25 Gold for this."
I am hesitant about this.
Certainly, for him, 25 Gold isn't much.
But it's really more than normal people get in a year.
Normal people here get at least 10 Gold a Year.
That is if they work very hard too.
"If something happens to me. I swear I will bring you down with me." I glare at him who smiles now.
"I will let the guild handles this matter for now until the order comes from Capitals. Aldi here will go with me to my Mansion."
