Trouble Brewing

"Kid you can't go, what about the beauty of Vall, are we just gonna miss it? I waited to see how beautiful she is" Zazel started complaining about them leaving the kingdom of Vall, just because of a little injury.

"Can you please keep quiet, am trying to sleep here, you are the cause of everything happening to me now, you were the one who said we should save the elf, you were the one who didn't want to help me, when I got caught in that formation so stop disturbing me, Shadow has already made preparations for us to leave first thing tomorrow morning, I have had enough of this territory" Derrick replied angrily, he was in pains all because of Zazel, his healing abilities were lacking to heal him and his mana is still in low, so all he wanted was to rest and leave the territory and head to the academy as soon as possible, he felt that Ella was a great addition, but at the back of his mind he still felt that she was unnecessary baggage.

"Fine, I see you are in pains that's why you have been grouchy, we will have the opportunity to meet more beauties in the future" Zazel finally relented and left him to rest.

Meanwhile back in the general's mansion "What do you mean by please save me? who is after your life? who dares?" General Vladimir roared.

The slave trader was astonished, he didn't think the general would get angry for his sake, although he had money, he was just a grunt to the general, the general owns the slave den, he was just the face of the slave den, although he makes alot of money through slavery for the general, the general wouldn't want to be associated with him in public, so he was surprised to see him behave like that.

'What is wrong with this idiot, he was acting as if he has seen a ghost, I don't like the way he entered my house screaming for me to save him, but let's play along' the general thought within himself.

"General, I wouldn't dare, I was being chased by a kid" the slave trader recounted everything that happened, and as such pique the interest of Valdmir, he was just a foot soldier in the empire but he was a top dog in the kingdom of Vall, so he gave himself general and no one questioned him, due to his affiliation with the Baron and he was somewhat strong.

The main issue that piqued his interest was the 1000 gold coins that the slave trader lost to the boy, not the beating that the slave trader took or the bloody part, in which the boy looked like a grim reaper to the slave trader, 'what could a stinky little boy do, the slave trader must have exaggerated everything to save his face' general Valdmir thought to himself.

"Where is the boy currently, take me to him at once, I will have to see for myself, how strong a little kid could be" Valdmir said to the slave trader, looking like he was already extremely angry.

"But general they are in the golden turtle and if you make scene there, it wouldn't look good and if words gets out about the slave trading business, the Baron wouldn't be happy" although fear as gripped the slave trader, his brain was still functioning well, if words gets out he would be the scape goat.

Valdmir thought about it for a few minutes, before shaking his head "we have to get the 1000 gold coins back, leave a few men to tail the boy, we would beat the money off him, when he is alone, we shouldn't alert the Baron or the golden turtle".

"Yes general" the slave trader got his strength back, after getting the backing of the self proclaimed general.
