Kingdom Conqueror

Chapter 30: House of Gladiator

Drakar and Mia was sold as slaves by the pirates. Priscilla, a gladiator master just bought the both of them from the docks and is now taking them to her house.

They are currently inside the Kingdom of Philipia. It was a first for Mia and Drakar. Drakar heard from Selare that the Kingdom of Philipia was the most prosperous among all of the other Kingdoms. Mia also heard the same. And so, both of them have their expectations.

They are taking a path through the market place. The market was busy. It was noisy and a lot of people are walking around buying and negotiating prices.

Mia made a wow expression from the sight. Drakar was amazed as well. However, it wasn't because of the lively market place. 

Drakar came from a different world, and from his previous world, a busy market wasn't all that surprising. What amazed him was the people's way of clothing.

Both men and woman wore tunics, sandals and some had crowned leaves on their heads.The Kingdom of Philipia seem to resemble a culture from the early ages of Rome or Greece. For Drakar, it felt like he has been brought back in time.

While they were on their way to the gladiator house, Priscilla asked Drakar and Mia some questions.

"You, girl, what's your name?" Priscilla asked.

"Huh? Me? uh. Mia, My name is Mia." The questions took Mia by surprise. She was too busy exploring her eyes on the area.

"How about you? What's your name?" Priscilla then turned he gaze to the male slave she just bought.

"Drakar." he answered shortly.

And then they continued to walk toward the gladiator house quietly.

When they arrived. Mia was surprised. The house had a gate that had bars. From there you can see men sparring with each other using wooden sticks and wooden shields. The men wore only ragged garments that covered their genitals.

"Are these slaves training to be gladiators?" Mia feeling excited.

"Well they are. This is my father's house. It is a school for gladiators. In here we train slaves to make them stronger and turn them into fine fighters. Our main purpose is to turn these men into Gods of the arena."

For Drakar, the title 'God of the arena' had a nice ring. Now he suddenly feels motivated to train.

From the inside, there was a guy holding a whip. He's probably the one training the slaves, he uses his whip to force the slaves to follow his instructions.

The man that was holding the whip turns his gaze onto Priscilla which was outside the gate. Quickly, he runs to open the gate.

"Master! You have returned." He had a glad expression.

The man wore an armor that seemed like a bullet proof vest.

He turns his gaze upon the two people wearing ragged cloth behind Priscilla.

"I see that you brought with you some new slaves master." the man holding the whip humbly speaks.

"I did. Just got them from the docks. Now Clause, let us in." Priscilla commanded and the man responded accordingly.

Priscilla called the man with the whip Clause. Clauselooked like he was between 50 to 60 years old. He had a wrinkled face, long white wavy hair, and a curly white beard. If he were to turn fat he would probably look a lot like Santa clause.

Priscilla went inside followed by Drakar and Mia. After that, the man with the whip closes the gate.

"But Master, you wandered off in the city alone again. You could have asked me to escort you. Just in case you get in trouble. Your Father's last wish to me was to keep you safe at all times." The man with a worried expression.
