140 Garent de Sofia Yugara

I am on my way to the Library, where Fiona it is waiting for me because I was on a store to buy myself a new wand because the last one got destroyed in a wild vampire attack, but it was worth it because I could sue my battle skill again. And I do also learn an important detail about my battle skill, and that it is the fact it drained most of my mana, and it can put me to sleep. But there was another thing which got my attention about this skill. And that was regeneration of my wounds I suffered from the vampire attack, which can be a big advantage into my future fights if my wand gets destroyed or in critical situation, like that one.

After I make a turn of a building, I ride my horse into a straight road who will help me arrive to Library of Dobrat. I wonder why she wanted to meet there. She could've waited me on this store, and we could've gone together. While I was riding my horse, I do saw a man who is having a woman as a hostage, and he threatens that he will stab her. I quickly stopped while I was at a far distance from him.

Thankfully, that man didn't spot me, and this will be a great advantage for me because I can use my new wand on him. I aimed my wand to the man who was using the female as a shield in a large public gathered in front of him. He yelled that she will kill her if he doesn't get an amount of money. Some knights were trying to talk with him, but the man was so angry that he was close to pierce that woman neck. I could see she is terrified and is looking at the crowd for help. She didn't spot me, though.

"Alright." I say to myself, then I aim my wand into that man head (he is much taller than the female he is threatening). "Roundabout."

Then, the spell has hit that man head, and it sends him flying, but not for a few meters like most of the spells I do. This one will send him across the entire planet. I hope he will like this free journey.

A few people turn back to, they applaud me because I do save this woman. But two knights came to, and asked me furiously. I am probably again into a similar situation like that one from, the last year.

"Identify yourself!" said a knight to me, aiming his sword to my chest.

"U-Um... My name is Judah Gremory, squire of Fiona Lunderberg." I replied to the soldier, feeling a little anxious.

"He is fine." replied the other knight, making his colleague retreating his shinning sword. "You did an amazing thing earlier, saving a lady from a crazy man."

"It was nothing." I replied to them.

"So, are you a wizard? We definitely haven't seen a lot of them into this kingdom." responded one of those knights to me, and this is the thing he said it is not entirely true.

After we talked with those knights for a few moments about other things, like who was that assassin and the woman I saved. It looks like I saved a noble woman, and this one it is from a well respected family of this kingdom by peasants and other nobles. And being respected by both parts mean something good into this kingdom.

That noble woman came to me, she did a gesture only nobles are doing to present themselves and show their thanks and admiration. She looked at me and told me her name, Garent de Sofia Yugara. And she also told me this.

"Thank you for saving my life. Whatever you wanted, I could get it to you."

"I do not want anything." I replied to her after I hopped back into my horse. "I was just doing my duty as a squire."

And I continued to ride my horse until I reach Fiona, who is probably already getting bored with waiting for me. I took a last look back, and I saw knights escorting Garnet to a carriage in fine gemstones and wood, painted in white with gold, and which will lead her to her noble house.

I arrived at Fiona waiting spot, and here I got a surprise because there was another one there, and that was my dear friend, Gregonson. Fiona told me to put my horse next to her, which is tied by a fence. I tied my horse there, then I go at those two into the library.

"What are we doing here?" I asked them before we entered the library.

"We are going to find information about our enemy, and I think this library has the solution for it." responded Fiona.

"What's the enemy name?" I asked her again, but she didn't respond because we entered the library and here you are not allowed to talk with a loud voice.

When we entered the library, we greeted the man who owns this building in whispering tone and I with my dear Gregonson are following Fiona to a table. There, all three of them are sitting there, and we proceed to talk in a whispering tone.

"Today I called you Gregonson to request a favor." says Fiona to Gregonson.

"What is it?" asks Gregonson.

"It is about a member of the Yugara family..." says Fiona, which give me small goosebumps. "Think you can help us capture a man and bring it to this address?" she hands to Gregonson a parchment which is noted an address. "You will get thirty gold coins if you do that."

"The coins are not flattering me." says Gregonson after he took a look on the parchment. "I need to know the reason why we are doing this?"

"Are you able to keep this secret?" asks Fiona to Gregonson.

"Yes." responded Gregonson. "I swear to the God of Secrets that if I try to reveal this secret to anyone, except you two, I will be hit by a thunder."

"Um... Good..." says Fiona who did not expected this response, but I quite expected this one, after all, Gregonson it is a man very dedicated to Gods: she looks at me. "You two will have to kidnap a girl named Garnet, and bring her to the building marked on the parchment. The reason why we are doing this, it is to make a negotiation between Yugara family and Royal family. They seem to be good people, but our King has raised has some suspicions against them."

"We kidnap a little kid, in order to make a negotiation between royal power and a noble family?" asks Gregonson.

"Pretty much, yes. And do not worry, we will only take her to scare them, we are not going to hurt her. We just wanted to eliminate one enemy from the royal power."

"Do you think that family is able to detonate our King?" I asked Fiona.

"These are king orders, Judah. I also think this might be to taken to far, but it is better to follow orders than having the entire Kingdom against you." she responded. "Any more question?"

"Yes." says Gregonson. "Who we are kidnapping?"

"A girl which belongs to the father of the Yugara family, Garnet de Sofia Yugara."

"What?" I almost yelled when I said that, and I make Fiona nad Gregonson looking unexpected at me.

"What is it, Judah?" asks Fiona.

"I-I know the girl... Today was about to be killed by an assassin." I said that, then I told them what happened this day before I was on my way to the Library.

Fiona seems agitated, and Gregonson is feeling a little curious. Fiona thanked me for sharing this information, and then, she ordered me to go to the "secret building" and told the people there to search for the assassin who tried to murder Yugara family. She didn't tell me to capture and kill him, only to capture him and keep him there to interrogate.

Before I was about to leave, we stayed there a bit to discuss our kidnapping plan, and how it will happen.

In three days, we will be ready to kidnap Garnet de Sofia and keep her safe until the negotiations will be made.
