THE FAVOR

"I heed to your words. I'll look into it. If what you said is true, I'll meet you as soon as possible. However, if what you said is false, then, I can't promise you anything."

It was Dastan's final warning. However, Veronica wasn't scared.

"Do not worry. You will come back before you imagine." Her voice was resolute.

Her steady eyes made Dastan's heart waver. He covered his head with the hood and gave her a nod. "Good night."

After that, he paid for their meal and left the inn.

Veronica stayed there and finished her meal. Her head was filled with thoughts that no one knew.

A man came to a dark room and lit up the lamp. The room was illuminated with a yellow hue.

In the room, there was a bed, table, and chair. There was a map lying on the table. Several types of daggers, swords, and arrows were hanging on the wall.

He took off layers of clothes and went to the corner. There was a bucket of cool water.
