How I Destroyed the Main Questline at my new job

Chapter 9 - Stormcasters (1)

"Our deepest apologies young sir, while you're a guest within the castle if you have any need please don't hesitate to ask!

I'll get to the main topic, what is your price?"

Right as I was enjoying myself and thinking about moving forward with my experiment I was hurriedly rushed out of my inn, into a carriage, and taken to the lord's castle which by the way is absolutely stunning!

Beautiful art of every kind lines the walls, eloquent music can be heard giving the castle an otherworldly ambiance, beautiful people of every shape and size mingle in every nook and cranny of this place!

It was a bit overwhelming not knowing why I was summoned in the night, it should only be around 7 or 8, but for the commoners and farmers of this world that was considered late and maybe even rude if the visit was for nonsense.

There were three knights who came to fetch me, a women and two men. You might not think so but the slight femininity with broad shoulders and towering height gave her a stoic beauty.

From afar seemingly hard to approach but that only made her all the more enticing. Her rich dark skin against the shine of her tight armor, which helped highlight her curves, really made one appreciate the aesthetic of the lady knight!

Interestingly enough both men had soft facial features, giving them a serine calm look. If you didn't look into their eyes you may very well be fooled into thinking they were your run of the mill everyday warrior.

They all had cat like ears and a thin tail either wrapped around their waist or swaying behind them. their armor was stunning, inscribed with enchantment, molded and cut with precision, even the small details like what seemed to be a crest engraved into the armor added personality and depth to the master pieces.

On further inspection you could see the many places were the armor have been patched and fixed, where blood has dried and stained, and where it has been shined until the paint has wore on it.

These knights gave off a much different feeling than those thugs from earlier. If I had to guess it would probably be a mix of their profession and experience.

These were not rookie knights, they didn't even seem like the type to head to a pub and be rowdy after a long day. They seemed more like blood drenched cold steel.

Blades waiting for their master to point out who or what to kill next. Honestly with my abilities locked just trying to use my senses I can't even guess their levels at all.

After taking a glance at a rolled up parchment the female night quickly gave a nod and grunt in approval and the two subordinate knights started ushering me out the door.

The ride by horse took about 40 minutes within the city walls and was in the most northern district. Upon arrival the lord's steward met me outside.

"Good evening young Sir. I'm Steward Ronaldo of House Stormcaster! My apologies but please come into our reception area for tea."

It was when I first walked into the foyer that I seen not only in this life but also my last life, the largest mirror ever. It had to be at least 5 meters tall and close to 3 meters wide.

For the first time since coming to this world I finally got a good look of myself.

At 5'3", I had beautiful even toned sun kissed hazelnut skin, with a small beauty mark under my left eye.

My black hair was trimmed shorter on the sides, with tight pure snow white curls resting atop my head. My eyes had a ruby shine to them with a gold circlet between the iris and pupil.
