An unpleasant forecast

Look at me right now, what could this girl want from me?

Yoriko: - How long are you staying?

Aika: - Don't ask me, ask Mizeya.

Yoriko: - Aren't you the princess?

Aika: - But it would be me, why?

Yoriko: - And is a princess allowed to let a boy who is not even a noble get so close to him?

An awkward silence filled the air, rather than the bottomless nothingness and its unpleasant breeze.

Aika: - What makes you assume that I have such a relationship with the boy?

Yoriko: - You even called him by his name and you two only came here.

Aika: - Would it be such a big deal?

Yoriko: - Tell me something, why should I think this?

She pulled Mizeya's hair, then stood up and walked over to Aika.

Yoriko: - Did you know that this boy is only 14 years old? You are already an adult.

Mizeya: - You misunderstood Yoriko.

Yoriko: - Shut up.

Aika: - I knew I was young and not yet an adult, but don't get me wrong, I don't care about Mizeya at all, he's just my bodyguard.

Mizeya: - Thank you.

She jumps on the boy.

Yoriko: - What are you so happy about?

Mizeya: - Get off me, idiot.

Aika: - Mizeya, listen to me.

Mizeya: - Aika?

The princess goes to the boy, then reaches out her hand and pulls him up from the ground.

Aika: - We don't have time for that, I need you so I can go back to the kingdom.

Yoriko: - You heard, she needs you, you womanizer.

I get up off the ground and walk out the door.

Mizeya: - You're not coming? Aika.

The princess followed, and they walked away from the house, but a soft voice, which now sounded much louder.

Yoriko: - Are you angry with me? I know you're mad at me, but you know I'll be waiting for you, I don't care how long it takes, I'll be here.

The boy just kept walking forward with the princess, but with one more small smile on his face that he could muster for Yoriko and a wave.

Mizeya: - We'll meet again.

Aika: - I can hardly see your home anymore, where to next?

Mizeya: - Do you know where we are?

Aika: - In Syronida, right?

Mizeya: - Exactly, we will visit the other elite members.

The elite members of Karola's special forces, who can only be first-rate warriors, are commanded by Gertz, and then there is Demigra, Simon, Zagred, Eudemon, and Harlot.

Within the special formation, some legions run under Karola, they are grouped into 2 halves, one half is represented by the magic apprentices, the other half by the knight apprentices, this is how they train the second-rate warriors.

Third-rate warriors don't have legions, but they can also be divided into 2 sides, there are mercenaries and knight soldiers. Mercenaries fight for money and usually do not come from their kingdom, but are scattered around the world, while most of the knight soldiers are members of and home to the Syronida kingdom, they are obliged to participate in the battles.

I had been going for a while, but they stopped in front of a building that looked strangely familiar. The huge house, has 3-4 floors, tables, and chairs outside, but the inside is much more like an inn, with so many stipulations that adventurers gather here.

In the main kingdoms on all the continents there is an adventurer's inn, it is a place where I want to become an adventurer, and adventurers alike gather where they can take quests.

At the moment, the princess and her bodyguard are standing in front of the adventurer's inn on the continent of Genomia.

Aika: - So what are we looking for at the adventurers' inn?

Mizeya: - Information.

We went to the receptionist, who immediately noticed that we had just been there for the first time.

Qinxe: - My greetings are accepted, can I help you with something?

The woman is looking straight at us, shall we go there? Mizeya thought to himself.

Aika and I go there, but unexpectedly a boy comes to me.

Boy: - Be careful, can't you see with your eyes?

Mizeya: - But we came first.

The boy, who was about to go where we were, cut in front of me.

Qinxe: - It's you again, Sinaka, tell me why you came here today.

Sinaka: - So that I can admire your beautiful face, as always.

Qinxe: - You always say that, but you know you could be my younger brother.

Sinaka: - Is that the only thing stopping you from being the mother of my children?

Qinxe: - What? What are you talking about, you idiot?

Mizeya: - Khm. I hope I'm not disturbing you.

I cleared my throat to see if I could get any information out of the receptionist.

Qinxe: - Don't be angry about the former, this boy always does this.

Mizeya: - No problem. Do you happen to know where I can find the way to the Karnest cave?

Someone grabs my shoulder and stands in front of me.

Sinaka: - Who are you? What do you have to do with my wife?

Mizeya: - I would only ask her to guide me on the road, but since you asked me like that, who are you?

Sinaka: - I am Syronida's strongest adventurer and the one you asked for help would be my wife.

The girl on the other side of the counter comes up to the boy and puts his neck under her armpit.

Qinxe: - Don't even care about him, he's just playing a fool. You can find the Karnest cave range by cutting through the thousand-faced forest in the middle of Syronida.

Sinaka: - I won't fool you with anyone, Qinxe!

Qinxe: - Shut up, for once.

Mizeya/Aika: - Thank you.

Qinxe: - What can I help you with? Do you want to register or do you just want to ask me something?

Look at the girl behind Mizeya.

Aika: - How about me?

Qinxe: - Yes you, what can I help you with?

Look at the princess with a strange but lovely wide grin.

Aika: - I'm with the boy in front of me, but thanks for the help.

Qinxe: - Then until we meet again, have a good trip.

Mizeya/Aika: - Goodbye.

They left the place and went straight to the horse shed next to the adventurers' house, but an unexpected boy stops them.

Sinaka: - Stop, you there!

Aika: - Me?

Mizeya: - It is clear that the boy is looking for me, not you, Aika.

The boy goes to Aika.

Sinaka: - I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life, maybe fate wanted this too?

Aika: - You see, he was looking for me, let's wait, whaaat?

Sinaka: - Would you be my second wife? Would you be the mother of my children?

Mizeya: - Whaaaat? Forgive me Aika, I think we are parting ways, your husband has been waiting for you until now.

He leaves the princess there with Sinaka and then goes on to the horse seller.

Aika: - Don't leave me here, Mizeya!

Answering the princess a little louder.

Mizeya: - I'm sorry, have a nice life.

Sinaka: - Are you free then?

Aika: - Shut up.

This princess is completely unacceptable, she still thinks she is in Tirinia, but now she is learning.

Horse seller: - Can I help you with something?

Mizeya: - I want to rent two horses.

Horse seller: - It will be 50 silver thalers.

Thalers for payment, there are 3 types, bronze thalers, silver thalers, and gold thalers. 10 bronze thalers equal 1 silver, while 100 silver equals 1 gold thaler.

I look back and see the princess.

Mizeya: - You can ride a horse, right?

Aika: - You think a princess can't? Faceless.

Mizeya: - Phew. Where is your husband located?

Sinaka: - I'm here.

Mizeya: - Wahh.

Suddenly the boy appeared in front of me, I thought my heart would jump out of its place, what could he want?

Mizeya: - What do you want?

Sinaka: - Well, I heard my first wife say where you were going with my second wife.

Aika: - I'm not your wife, kid.

Sinaka: - Kid? I'm already 15 years old.

Aika: - Hahaha, did you hear Mizeya, this boy is even older than you.

Mizeya: - It's just his age. He is mentally younger than me, especially physically.

Aika: - Ohoho, what does my bodyguard say, are you so confident in your body?

Mizeya: - You say that you, who were so curious about it, forgot about it?

The three of them just stood in silence for a while, the seller waited for his taller.

Aika: - You better keep quiet.

Mizeya: - But really, why are you with us?

Sinaka: - I know a shorter way through the thousand-faced forest, where they reached the cave sooner, and they feared for the life of my only second wife, what could she do with a younger boy who could not even protect her?

Mizeya: - You know quite a lot about me, but are you prepared?

Sinaka: - As long as I can see, miss?

Mizeya: - Aika.

Sinaka: - Yes, Miss Aika, until then nothing can happen to her and me.

Mizeya: - I will take you at your word.

I turned back to the seller.

Mizeya: - Sorry for the first one, then I would like 3 horses.

Horse seller: - May I ask where they are trying so hard?

Mizeya: - To Karnest Cave.

Horse seller: - For that you have to cross one of the most dangerous forests on this continent, are you prepared for that?

Mizeya: - Don't worry sir, we are quite prepared, but why are you so worried about us?

Horse seller: - They rarely rent a horse from me and especially they don't want to go to such a dangerous place, but if you are fully prepared, I won't talk you out of it.

Mizeya: - Thank you for your help and good intentions.

Mizeya gave the 75 silver thalers to the horseman, then they both got on horseback and set off for the forest heat with a thousand faces, but they didn't count on the fact that the castle of the king of Syronida is located right in the middle of Syronida.
