chapter 4

In the city of Esiuol 1667

foot steps getting closer and louder, Young master!, young master i have news for you, young master are you there? my servant cried out

how many times have I told you not to run around, you are not a child anymore,

I know am not a child but I think I found some leads on the black powder usage..

Elaborate... please.

so I went out to buy a few groceries for the house, I first visited Mr Cha, for some coffee on my way out i met Ms.Seo, she passed her greeting by the way, then i headed off to meet....

No, no wait before you go any further just tell me about the black powder and where you saw it.

I was just getting there, I saw few kids carrying the black powder from Mr.Tan's shop taking them near the river and with guards around the same area even though the uniforms they wore seemed suspicious hence i can to inform you

Thanks gather a few men for me, we will patrol the city together, tell my brother to join me when his back.

AT THE MARKET.

That girl is strange, I think she's working with the Nerak city, a man said as they walked past the guards.

But the Neraks have never acted so recklessly I don't think she's one of them, but did you see her skin? his friend responded

Yes, just looking at her is creepy enough, maybe shes with the devil. evil people have dark sides she might have turned dark because shes too evil, he added

what if she can hear us with her spirit?

don't say things like that, am going to invite a priest to come and pray for me. their conversation faded away as they walked away

What was that about?

general a strange girl with dark skin appeared on the streets hence everyone is taking about it, one of the soldier said

Take me there..

Yes sir

Just like the stories she stood in clothes I have never seen before with her skin dark like the devil, was she an enemy? but she looks defenseless, she said something to herself, was she trying to summon her demons?.. who ever she is I can't let my guard down

Bring them both to the prison, the rest of you continue patrolling the city bring in whoever seems suspicious, have you understood? I ordered.

Yes sir.

IN PRISON

put them in separate cells, we will interrogate them separately to see if they are working together or not

Yes sir!, Do you need us to call your brother?

Yes tell him its urgent and prepare the torture room as well.
