The city of Argonia is divided in five district the first is the residencial district where most of the homes of the people of Argonia are located. Merchant district the place where most of the establishment own by merchant resides some of the people work there. Market district the place where Erez work for two days, vendors and sellers resides there and most of the necessities can be bought there. Commercial district Erez also went there since establishment such a pubs, bars, inns, restaurant and rental training ground can be found there. Finally the last district it is where most men went when the night begun, women and men with different ages can be seen coming through this district, the red light district.
"Um I need to deliver this to Adora in red light district?"
"Hehehe don't worry lad nothing will happen to you look it's daytime so there's nothing to worry about. Go with Amandor to Adora and deliver these supplies make sure to greet the people there....hehehe"
Adora was one of many establishment in red light district and Erez felt very nervous about going there.
"I heard many stories about the red light district they say many beautiful and enticing women walk the streets every night"
"Sir Amandor you haven't visited the red light district yet?"
"Why would I visit the place full of temptation I would only sin and sin and sin I would rather work at night than indulge myself with temporary pleasure"
Amandor said while holding the reins of the horse.
"Boy whatever you see at the district ignore it okay? it's better to avoid trouble than attract it"
Erez only nodded minutes pass and the district infamous for its purpose slowly appear in his view.
"The red light district it's big"
"Yes it is"
Even though it's still daytime the district is still pack with people. Carriage and mounted beast can be seen coming back and forth.
"It's very lively even it's day"
"Businesses still striving even in day"
"Can I ask why? shouldn't be the district only lively during night?"
"Hmm that's a good question look over there"
The boy follow his finger and found merchants and noblemen being lead by several beautiful woman.
"Meetings?"
"Yes red light district is also the meeting place of several people...and sometimes secret organizations. The district is know for its secrecy and loyalty"
Amandor said while making sure his voice was barely a whisper while saying the last part.
"Oh we're here"
Immediately upon arriving he and Amandor begun carrying the ordered supplies.
"This place is big"
Going around the place of Andorra made Erez dizzy.
"So this is what the servants felt when carrying supplies in Pendragon household"
Going back and forth from the carriage to the storage of Andorra was quite tasking but thanks to Amandor it went smoothly.
"Have you heard anything related to the third son of Pendragon family"
"As usual nothing every servants inside that household are tight lip no money or offer can make them speak"
...
"Do know anything related to the last treasure of the last swordsman in the northern region"
..
"I have information about the youngest daughter of Ainsley family"
..
"I will pay any price for you to investigate the Pendragon family"
While walking through the hall of Andorra he could hear the whispers of the people inside, strangely he could hear them.
'So the red light district is also the den of information brokers and black market industry what's even strange is that I can hear them even though the walls are protected by a protective spell'
Couple times he went pass to some rooms and he hear more voices.
'Im sure I have nothing special in me that can overhear the voices of the people at the other side and know what's going on'
'Red light district hmm ..why would my family let this kind of place run in the first place? unless!?....all this information is!? could it be my father already knows this kind of exchange and the main reason I can hear them was due to the buildings mechanism?'
"It's confusing"
"Hmmm? were you saying something Erez?"
"Oh!? nothing let's get going"
Amandor only look at him before walking up ahead of Erez he must thought that the boy has a lot of thoughts and needs to be alone.
'I must ask my father afterwards it seems like there is a deeper meaning behind this district'
While still deep in thought he accidentally bump into someone fortunately the crates he was holding didn't fall.
"I'm sorry you okay?"
Erez look at the frail looking girl in front of him. White clear hair sapphire eyes and fair skin Erez stare blankly at the beautiful girl he accidentally bump into.
"Um I'm sorry I can't help you get up you I'm carrying something"
"It's okay I'm .....I'm fine"
She staggered to get up making the boy more guilty but he noticed something different with this girl he look at her shaking legs and almost haggard face.
"Are you really okay you look tired"
"!?"
The girl look startled for a moment before trembling a bit.
"Well it was because it was my fir....firs...first time I was weaken due to that"
The girl thought she was mistaken for a weaken and frail girl which she believed to be not.
Erez look confused for a bit before nodding his head.
"That's okay someone told me that you'll get used to work once your body became more adjusted later you will realize the work will become lighter... first times are often the most hardest step but it won't be the same after that"
The boy innocently said while nodding at the same time the girl only stare at him before smiling.
'It must her first time working I should encourage her' he added in his mind.
"Ri...ght thank you for the encouragement a...um by the way how old are you?"
"Me? I'm eleven why?"
"Oh I see you're still quite young it seems I still need to wait"
"Huh? what do you mean by that....ah Amandor?"
"Excuse me young lady but I'll be taking this lad" popping like a mushroom Amandor lifted Erez with the crate he was holding.
"Weren't you supposed to put this thing in the storage room what are you doing chit-chatting"
"I'm sorry sir I'll be going then"
"Yes you should be" he then throw the boy in the direction that will lead to the storage room.
"My young lady he was just an ELEVEN year old kid I'm sorry if he caused any trouble"
"He didn't do not worry"
The girl said while taking a glimpse at the fleeting boy's body.
"He certainly didn't trouble me" she added.
...
"I told you to ignore everything didn't I "
"I'm sorry"
"It seems like I should ask Galan not to send you their again it's to dangerous"
"Why?"
"Because I said so!" Amandor shouted at the overly curious boy.
There were supposedly more delivery in red light district but due to what happened at Adora Amandor decided to give it to someone else.
Erez was then send to deliver some supplies to the commercial district instead on his way he saw a huge arena on the center of the commercial district in his left on the other hand was a beautiful theatre its pristine walls was a work of art.
"Those colorful glass art is really beautiful"
"Yes I once enter that place it was really big spacious and the stage where the actors perform was big and fancy" Amandor commented.
"Must be expensive "
"Of course it is look we're here"
It was a cafe flooded with many people Amandor went to the back door and begun delivering supplies.
"A newbie huh"
"Good morning sir"
"Morning as well"
The business in commercial district went smoothly they went to Merchant district to check the other delivery they need to to do.
"It seems like we need to go back to the market district"
Erez only nodded while positioning himself at the seat while waiting for Amandor to sit beside him.
"Let's continue I want to finished at leat half of our quota before lunch"
"Yes sir Amandor!"
Another day pass peacefully Erez felt extreme fatigue going around Argonia carrying and deliver heavy crates of items he felt like he was beaten from head to toe.
"Damn it hurts everywhere"
"Young master you can use this ointment to relieve your pain" the butler Ian look at the haggard young one who lie down on his bed looking beat.
"Thanks by the way Ian can you ask my father if I could meet him after dinner I want to talk to him"
"I will young master well then see you on dinner"
The butler left to do the task he was let to do while Erez was clean by the servants of course he was sleeping the whole time.
Dinner went smoothly while Erez dozing off and on while eating his mother on the other hand couldn't help but shake her head while glaring once or twice to her son and husband.
"Erez maybe you should retire to your room it's okay even if you don't finish your meal"
"No it's okay mother I need to eat as plenty as possible"
"Erez Ian told me you want to talk to me after meal"
"Yes father it's something important I would like to ask your opinion about"
"Okay meet me on my office later"
"Yes father"
Erez noticed his father and brother's reaction they seem to know what he was going to say.
"It seems like brother is well aware of the place but mother seems to be kept in the dark'
He continue his meal eating every piece of meat that is helpful for his growth.
After dinner Erez waited for him to be called before going to his father's office.
"Good evening father "
"Evening Erez"
His father him greeted back looking at his father's right stood the butler it was only them who occupied the spacious office. Elek Pendragon's office was very simple other than the big bookshelves from both sides of the room his desk and a separate table for his aids it doesn't have any luxurious display or expensive painting.
"Sit down son"
"It's fine father I would like to stand here"
"What is it you want to ask?"
"I think you already know this father it's about red light district may I ask what it's worth and connection to us?"
Elek only smirk at his son's questions he seems to be very interested with his son's future reaction.
"The red light district is owned by us"
"!?"
"We owned it?"
"Yes apparently it's one of the biggest business and the one that earn the biggest among our business and.."
"And?"
Elek smiled he like the expression his son's making the anticipation and excitement is evident on his face.
"And it is also used for collecting information and it also the place for secretive meetings"
"!?"
Erez suddenly felt his hair stand looking at his father his usual noble demeanor disappeared replace by cold and murderous aura. His current smile was to different from how he smile in the past.
"Secretive meetings for assassination plan"
"!?"
"You see son we have many enemies typical jealous nobles and competition in business sometimes if we couldn't touch them in normal ways I would just wipe them off the face of earth"
"um"
Erez couldn't help but gulp he was quite scared of his current father, he wouldn't be surprised if he was to be assigned in an assassination plan.
"One day son you will also participate in acts like this killing and destroying enemies, us from Pendragon aren't saints to forgive enemies and idiots to let them be free we destroyed them and wipe them out"
"Remember this Erez Pendragon you shouldn't let yourself be stepped on, if an enemy appears destroyed them immediately"
"Ye...yes! father"
"Okay you may go now"
Elek Pendragon finally smile like he always do refreshing his son's face.
"Then father I will leave now"
"Goodnight son"
"Goodnight father"
