Edward and Anthony arrived at Scapolite Capital City. They need 2 days to arrived there.
"Welcome to Scapolite Capital City. What is the need for you to come here?"
The gates guard welcoming them.
"We're a merchants, we want to do some trading in here. This are our company emblem"
Edward show an emblem that Verduny gave him earlier and the guard inspect it.
*inspect* "Specter Company? Never heard of it. But this emblem is definitely genuine from merchant guild. Is this company really exist? And if you're really a merchant, where's your wagon?" *suspicious*
*calm* "I'm here as representative of my master. My master are the founder of the company. He want me to do some trading in here. Is it impossible to trade here?"
"No, you can freely trade here. If you here as representative, are you planning to meet the Lord?"
"Yes, my Master already send a letter to the Lord. I'm here to propose a cooperation proposal with the Lord."
"If you don't mind, could I ask what will you trade here?"
"Our company can trade for anything"
"Anything?" *suspicious*
Edward smirking and didn't respond to the question.
"Excuse me, can we enter the town now? We have been traveling for days and want to get some rest." *smile*
*realize* "Ah, I'm sorry for stopping you here for too long. Then let me say it again, Welcome to Scapolite Capital City. If you want to meet the Lord, you can meet him in his manor. If you walk thorough this street you could find it easily. It's location were the end of this road." *show the way*
*smile* "Thank you"
Edward and Anthony finally can get in the City.
Two days ago in Scapolite manor.
*salute* "My Lord, there are report about a new company want to propose some trading with us. Their representative were on the way here."
"New company? And they're directly went to us?" *thinking*
"It seem so, my Lord"
Merchant usually are from commoners. It's almost impossible for them to reach a noble to traded. Just a famous and powerful merchants that can make a direct trade with nobles. Therefore a new company that can propose to a Lord directly, it's really impossible things. Except, the company have a noble backing them.
"Have you investigate these company come from? What's their backing?" *alert*
"We have tried to check it, but we don't find any useful information." *ashamed*
*quiet for awhile* "... What are they proposed?" *look at him*
"My Lord, their representative will explain the proposal directly to you."
"That's right, when will they arrive?"
*hesitant* "This... We don't know the details. But they'll arrive immediately" *upset*
"Notify me if they've arrived immediately. This company must have a strong background backing them." *confidently*
"Yes, my Lord"
The present time in the Capital City of Scapolite
*looking around* "This City are really have a lot of fields. It's getting dark, we'll find an inn for ourselves now and go to the Lord tomorrow."
"If so, I'll ask the adventures guild recommendation for the inn" *suggesting*
*pondering for a bit* "Hmmm, let's go together. I've never visit the adventures guild before." *curious a bit*
"Yes, Sir"
Edward and Anthony head to Adventures Guild
In the Adventures Guild
"Warden, look for the recommendations. I want to look around here."
"Yes, Sir"
Anthony left Edward alone. Edward observe and looking around inside the guild. Awhile after Anthony left, there are some adventures approaching Edward.
*come closer* "Yo! Ya new here? Ya need to pay pal here." *snickering*
*looking at them disgust* *smile* "I'm sorry, I don't have any money"
One of the adventures extend a blade to Edward neck.
"Ya can pay your guard, but ya can't pay the damn pal? Are ya kidding me?" *threatening*
*smiling with dark aura* "Please, keep your blade away from me." *glare at them with a smile*
Some of the adventures frightened.
*mocking* "Heh, ya still..."
*POW POW POW POW*
All the adventures that surround Edward fall down and unconscious. Edward look down on them and calm himself. Then he look at the person that knock them out.
*kneel* "I'm sorry, Sir. I've neglect my job and let them bother you."
*glance at Anthony* *turn around* "Nevermind that. I'm hungry, let's go to the inn"
*salute* "Yes, Sir"
Edward turn around and start to walk out.
*approaching* "Um... Excuse me..." *hesitant*
A waitress trying to calling Edward. Edward stop his steps but didn't turn back. Edward glance at Anthony and Anthony nodding.
"Do you need anything, Miss?"
Anthony ask the waitress.
*flinch* "Ah... Just..."
"Don't worry, they are just unconscious. Please tell them don't disturb anyone in the future especially my Master."
"Yes yes, I'll tell them myself" *flustered*
"Thank you" *smile*
Edward walk forward and Anthony immediately follow him.
Outside the Adventures Guild
*dark aura* "That Adventures..." *mumbles*
"Pardon?"
*turn his head to Anthony and smile sinister* "Thanks to you they didn't died yet" *turn his head back to the front and continue walking*
Anthony stunned then smile with cold sweats.
In the inn
Edward and Anthony finally find the recommendation inn.
"Welcome, Sir Customers. How can I help you?"
The waitress greet him.
"I want to book 2 room for two days."
*smile* "It will be 20 copper coin, Sir"
*stunned* "How che..."
*GROWL GROWL GROWL*
Edward and the waitress look into the source of the sounds.
*giggles* "Are you hungry, Sir?"
Anthony embarrassed and Edward sighing
*sigh* "Give me your recommendation food for 2 people."
*eager* "Right away, Sir."
The waitress get in the kitchen and Edward looking for a table
"That table seem available" *mutter*
Edward walk toward that table and sit down on the chair.
*sit down* "You sit here!" *pointing at the chair*
Anthony hesitant and look at Edward. Edward stared at Anthony. Then Anthony reluctantly sit beside Edward.
"Let's rest for tonight. Tomorrow we'll head to the Lord manor"
"Yes, Sir"
*come from afar* "Sorry for the wait. This are your order, Sir"
"Thank you" *smile*
The waitress amazed at Edward smile and stay stand still in there. Meanwhile Anthony and Edward start eating.
*halt* "Do you need something, Miss?" *look at the waitress*
"Mister, you're not from here, right?" *bluntly*
"Why do you think that?" *suspicious*
"Well, it's impossible for me to forget a man as handsome as you in this country." *bluntly*
Edward stunned while Anthony chocked.
*smile awkwardly* "Thank you for your compliment"
"Don't need to thank me, it's the truth" *smile*
Edward speechless
*sound from afar* "Waitress!"
"Yes!" *loudly* "Please, excuse me." *bow*
Edward and Anthony nod to the waitress and continue eating.
In Edward's room
Edward pick out his storage ring from his pocket and wear it. Then he cast soundproof spell on the room and take out the communication devices and wield it. Then he tried to call Verduny.
"Edward? How it's the situation?"
"My Lord, I've arrived in the Scapolite and currently resting in the inn"
"Good. Albern has succeeded in setting up our stall in Scapolite. So our plans will change a bit"
*pondering for a bit* "Do you want to send our goods from here through that stall?" *guessing*
"Yes, as expect of my aide. You can see thorough my plans."
*cough* "Where is it?"
"It's one of the inns in there, the named is Murk Inn. I heard it's one of the famous inn in there."
*shocked* "How coincidence!"
"Coincidence? Are you resting in that inn?"
"Yes. Did you really bought this inn, my Lord?" *disbelieved*
"Did you doubt me? Just try saying the keyword to the waitress or the manager in the inn."
"I'll do that tomorrow" *indifferently*
"Edward, don't let them know your real identity and information about our company. Don't even show your magic items especially your storage ring to anyone. Be careful of any dangers!"
*smile* "Yes, my Lord"
"That's right, how is Anthony?"
"He's unexpectedly quick witted" *serious*
"Tell me more"
"I had confronted with some adventures in adventures guild when looking for recommendation inn. But Anthony knock all of them before I did something to them."
"Is that so, keep observing him and report it to me"
"Yes, my Lord"
"Edward, educated him to be a loyal dog for me!"
*smirk* "As you wish, my Lord"
"That's all for now. Don't forget to rest, Edward."
*smile* "Yes, my Lord"
They finish their talks. Edward take back the device in his storage ring and put back the ring to his pocket. Edward throw himself in the bed and fall asleep
In the morning
Edward get out from his room and come down to get some breakfast.
"Good morning, Sir Customer. How can I help you today?"
*sit down* "Morning, Miss. 'It's quiet bleak in here', right?"
The waitress get quiet for a second then she take out a note and give it to Edward.
"If you need anything, Sir. Just write it down in here" *smile*
The waitress put a note in front off Edward. Edward quiet for awhile and keep the note.
*smile* "Nah, I just want to have some breakfast and please wake my companion up"
"Huh?" *confused*
The waitress confused
*smile* "Don't worry, Miss. I'm an acquaintance of your boss. Just convey my greetings to him"
*quiet for awhile* "... Alright" *suspicious*
The waitress walk away to the kitchen then head to Anthony room to wake him up as Edward requested. After awhile, Edward's breakfast come and being served to him.
*walk down* *yawn* "Sir, you have always wake up early"
*glance at Anthony* "It's because I'm not a lazy dog like someone"
*sulk* "Are the lazy dog that you mean were me?"
*smile and turn around to Anthony* "What do you think?"
*whimper* "How cruel..." *sulk*
"Shut up and have breakfast"
"Yes..." *sulk*
