7 Where is He?

The King is currently inspecting the refurbished wall in the throne room. His eyes glaring at it.

Without looking back the King asked "Spy Master Gerald have you found him yet?"

A man in a black hooded cloak behind the King answered "No his escape was too fast, but I think he's still near the capital. We just need to use more resources."

"Oh? Then put out flyers asking for information about [Beber Bleach] any accurate information will receive 99.99 gold pieces." Said the King.

"Very well, it shall be done." He answered with the upmost seriousness.

Gerald's right brow raised "Wait, why 99.99? w-Why not 100?"

"Because it makes people more motivated." The King smiled maliciously.

——————————————

As the king was ordering this Michael had already found an inn and went to bed early, since tomorrow will be the day that he leaves the capital.

——-

My eyes opened, the dark outlines of my eyelids revealed the brown wood ceiling.

'Today is the day I have to leave, huh' I reminded myself.

I slid my legs off of the uncomfortable straw bed. Swiped the thin white blanket off of my body. Showing the clothes I wore yesterday.

'Did I have a dream?'

The sun was rising with a bright but faint yellow, this showed through the misty Paine glass window. Lighting the mostly empty room.

'Time to go, I've got everything.'

'Except for The princesses boobs.' I squished the empty air in front of me wishing for something to appear. That something being the before mentioned thing.

I opened the creaky wooden door using the iron ring, which was the door knob. I walked downstairs and saw that there was a woman at the front desk, it was the innkeeper.

"Thank you for the room." Then I headed out.

-------------

I went to where I met Nathan the merchant yesterday. I saw a covered wagon and Nathan stading next to it.

I waved at him "Hey Nathan I got my license!"

"Great now you can be my guard." Nathan smiled.

"It's nice having a capable guy like you as my guard."

"Wait, you heard about how I beat that guy?"

"Of course, I need to know about who is keeping me and my goods safe."

"Hm" I nodded.

"Are you all set? We are heading out now." Nathan asked Michael who was looking at the castle.

"Oh, me? Yea I have everything."

"Oh really?" Nathan poked.

"Yea"

"UHmmm" Nathan added.

"What?" I asked puzzled.

"You don't have a sword on you." Nathan observed with an eybrow raised.

"Oh, yea...."

"Don't worry about it here's a sword, take it as advanced payment for guarding me." Nathan handed an iron sword in a scabbard to me.

"Oh thank you."

"Lets head out like this." Nathan nodded satisfied.

-------

Nathan and Michael got onto the wagon and headed to the southern gates. A guard with a bronze helmet and leather amour stopped the carrige.

"Hello, is there anything you need?" Asked Nathan.

"No I am just doing a check for security."

"Oh?... has something happend in the capital?" Nathan questioned.

"Yes there is a criminal going by the name of Beber Bleach, hes a dark mage. He may have been full naked yesterday except for a robe. Have you seen someone that matches this description?"

"No I haven't sir." Asnwered Nathan honestly.

'I guess they don't have a portait of me yet. Must be due to the rushed investigation. I should have nothing to worry about.' Michael thought.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

What really happened was that the King drew what he thought Michael or Beber Bleach looked like. And declared "THIS is what Beber Bleach looks like!!!" The King proudly displayed a piece of paper that looked like messed up spaghetti. A spaghetti that had its whole family killed infront of it and then was in turn killed. Maybe the King even manhandled the spaghetti's balls along with his family's before their deaths. That was how warped the expression the spaghetti had on it. This drawing alone made the onlooker, the Spymaster vomit in his mouth.

'I can't comment on the drawing with my true feelings. OR I will die!' The Spymaster shouted inwardly.

"It is a perfect depiction Sire." The Spymaster commented with a thumbs up, his eyes averted from the drawing. His eyes looking towards the wall.

The King huffing proudly "Hu Hu Its not often that I get to display my drawing prowess. Spread the word make sure to also use this in the search for Beber Bleach."

This drawing was spread to the guards creating confusion about what Beber Bleach looks like.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Is it just you leaving today?" Asked the guard.

"No I have a guard with me, Michael say hello." Nathan looked at the back of the carriage and gestured Michael to come over.

"Good day to you sir." Michael smiled hapily at the guard, hoping that he wouldn't connect him with Beber Bleach.

The guard scraped his chin with his thumb. "Have I seen you somewhere?" He asked Michael.

He was thinking to the drawing. "BLEAWE!" Then he immediately threw up on the ground in front of the wagon.

"Are you ok?!" Shouted Nathan in concern.

"KEHUM Sorry, its nothing have a safe journey." The guard said while swiping his mouth.

The wagon wheels turned and ran over the leftovers of the guards lunch and continued on to the next city.
