Fate the killer Laurmau (1/4)

Chapter 14-Scaleswind

A week later
Aphmaus pov
I read the sign
Welcome to Scaleswind
Home of The Great Irene
"Isn't she dead " I ask
"Who "Garroth says
"Lady Irene "
"Scaleswind is her birthplace "Dante explains
"I see "
"Hello can I be of assistance "A man asks bluntly
"Hello I am Lord Aphmau of Pheonix Drop. These are my guards . Me are simply here to seek a place to stay while we make our May to Pikero village"
"Of course. Oi Neil show this Lady and her guards to the inn."The man yells
We get off our horses
A man walk over to us
"If you'd like to follow me "
We nod and he leads us to what I presume is the inn.
"I will take your horses to the table across the street"Neil says
"Thank you ever so much"I say
We walk inside the inn
"Good evening my names if Jeffory and I am the Inn keeper here . How may I be of assistance "
"Is there any chance we could have three rooms "
"Why of course Miss.. how long will you be staying "
"Just one night "
"You've traveled far "
"From Pheonix Drop "
Later
I walk walking through the streets.
I see a girl and an older liking man arguing
"You are my daughter "
"I'm not a kid anymore "
"Nicole do not walk away from me "
The girl storms off towards me
I keep walking
Then all of sudden someone walk into me
"sorry "she says before walking off
I keep walking trough the city.
It was much bigger than Pheonix Drop... I missed home and Levin... I wonder how he was with Laurence and Cadenza
I see that same girl sat by the fountain
"Hey "I say
"Sorry about me walking into you.. my fathers just an idiot "She says
I sit down beside her
"Aphmau "
"Nicole "
"It's nice to meet you "
"You don't want here about my problems me ranting "
"If it helps them yeah sure "
"He just doesn't have time for me. I'm just the Lords daughter who can't do anything "
"Yeah I get that feeling "
"Who's your father "
"My father was the lord of Pheonix Drop until he died. I was 8"
"I've heard of that Place before "
"Probably through O'kahisis. The High priest had been causing some issues"
"He weirds me out "
"Same "
"For a lord your actually really laid back "
"I may be a Lord but I'm still a person. Of course I take my position very seriously but it's about knowing the people "
"I wish my father thought if it like that. When I'm Lord if this place. That's what I wanna be. A girl of the people. Someone they can rely on "
"Well Nicole you are going to make a very good Lord some day "
"Thank you Aphmau "
Later
There was a knock at my door
I walk over to it and open it
It was the inn keeper
"May I come in . I need to talk to you "
"Why of course "
I close the door
"My names is Jeffory the Golden heart. I am a member of the jury on nine.. kind of "
"I'm sorry who "
"We serve the High Priest Of O'kahisis Zane "
"Are you here to spy on me "
"No... I do not serve Zane. We observe him and his work in hope that we can bring him down someday "
"Okay... if you don't serve him then why are you here "
"I was sent to spy on you . I will admit but I will not be reporting back to him on any of your doing . This is a warning though. Zane is planning to do something to you and your village. I do not know as only a few do. I am not alone in mission though. There is someone else but I cannot tell you who ... just know Lady Aphmau that we are on your side "
"How do you
"Your name is the talk of O'kahisis "
"I see "
"You and your village are not in danger. At least not yet but you should watch him closely "
"Thank you Jeffory "
He gives me a faint smile before walking out

He walks down the corridor and into the reception. Then into the back room and takes out the pendant
"Did she believe you "? Says
"Yes of course she did "
"Good "
"She's a nice girl. She could be useful "
"Let's hope she's strong enough to take him down "
"Yeah I hope so too "

The next day
"He said all of this too you "Dante says
"Yes"
"Wow"Garroth says
"He's a member of the jury of nine however. We should be careful. We don't know if this is just a trick "Dante says
I nod
"We should get going "Garroth says
"Agreed.. I'll go get the horses "I say before walking out of Garroth's room and down to the stable
I walk inside
"Hello"I say
A man appears
He's the guard from yesterday... not Neil the other one
"Are you here...oh it's you "
"It is. Can I have my horses "
"Of course Lady "
He walks over to the keys rack and unlocks the stable doors
"Where are you headed "
"Pikero "
"You should be careful if that village. Don't go there at night "
"Why not "
"There's a wolf tribe not far from here "
"I see "
"I'm serious though do not travel around here a night "
"Thank you for your advice "
I see Garroth and Dante walking over
To Pikero we go...
