As Karl calmed me we got to the alter. He was carrying me up to an old wagon with items strewn across the front of it including an old fashioned typewriter, black and gold.

The doors swung open and I jumped a little bit. A large man with white hair, a partially unbuttoned white shirt exposing his lower belly like it was too big to fit into the small shirt.

"aha welcome to Dukes Emporium lord heisenberg, how can I be of service to you."

His voice was higher pitched than Karls and was really friendly I turned my head around again to get a better look.

"yeah hello, can I just get some food please 4 beast meat, 2 poultry and 2 fish"

"thats double your usual order heisenberg.... Oh hello there child"

He made direct eye contact with me.

"hello sir m-my name is (y/n)"

"Nice to meet you (y/n), you can call me Duke."

"it's nice to meet you too Duke..."

What a funny name to have Duke isn't that like a royal title?

Duke hands heisenberg a bag of items.

"may I ask a question, heisenberg?"

"sure... Hey kiddo take this and head back to the factory you can take the short cut through those doors there."

"okay"

"don't forget if you get in trouble use the bracelet"

Before he could finish that sentence I was gone.

-Karl's PoV-

Should I really be letting a 10 year old go to the factory alone... No but fuck it  they've got the bracelet so they will be OK.

Duke looked at me weirdly, with that sarky grin. Dam I really want to smack that grin off his smug face.

"so what was the question?"

"is that your child?"

"oh please what makes you think I'm the guy that wants to have kids! I have bigger plans"

"but..."

"well the kid has made the factory lot less lonely and when they are away it feels weird."

"well that kid must be having an affect on you"

"shut  up you cockroach of a merchant"

"I stand corrected, a profound affect on you"

He was beginning to piss me off, he was like that super sized bitch pointing things out just to make you angry.

It was fucking working!

I turned away and stormed to my factory, that bastard I don't like him but he gives me food and basics. Yet he's scheming something...

If he wants to take (y/n) away from me he's got another thing coming!

-Dukes PoV-

Well well I'm astonished as that child is having a positive impact on our Lord heisenberg!

However I can feel that between them something bad is going to happen. Miranda doesn't take kindly to things like this nor do some other people...

I hope my little muffin is okay, I may have only met them once. It was one of many encounters
