Meeting The Baron! (1/2)

Malvick look at the trembling women infront of him and followed her gaze, he looked down and was so embarrassed that his black face became slightly shy as he lowered his hands to cover his 'glory' from the world.

He was wandering earlier why it was so chilly down there, that's why! He's not wearing his original clothes but a loose clothing, so it would be weird if his thing did not express his stance to the world.

He furrowed his brows as he looked at the screaming woman that keeps covering her eyes, yet constantly peeping through her fingers to look at his ' glory'. He's not frowning because he was mad, but because he wasn't sure if the woman had thought he was trying something with her. Then again, she is a beauty, no! what am I thinking about? I need to know where I am before anything else.

"Who are you and where am I?" He was very suspicious of this woman, even before they met, she was trying to put something on him. Even though he might appreciate her looks, if is get him in trouble, he would not hesitate to make this flower a dead one. This might be one of the reason as to why he had not try to have a partner, it's hard for him to trust people.

The woman at this moment stop stealing glances at the 'glory' as she had sense something amiss with the gaze that was looking at her, she has a feeling that the gaze looked like it was looking at a dead person. As someone who would do anything just to keeps her life, how couldn't she know what that gaze meant? So, she hurriedly spoke, "I'm a maid working under the Baron of Silver City, Celine, I'm task with looking after you under the orders of the baron. As for where you are, you should be able to guess. You are inside Silver City, inside the baron's residence, the Silver Manor."

He nodded his head in understanding, even though his heart was beating furiously in surprise as to how she was able to detect what he was about to do her, should she not answer. Still, Baron? Silver city? These words where unfamiliar to him. On earth there is no base or force by these name or title, that could only mean I have gone to an unknown force, that have not made an appearance since the nuke war, which did not make sense, since it would be best to let other base know of them as to insure humanity revival as the ruler of the world.

"What's the purpose of the baron? Is there something he wants from me?" He was really confused about this. From what he could see from Celine's body, he could tell that she was very healthy and was obviously a virgin, that could only mean that there was a government in place, if not, he was sure that she would have long been deflowered.

It's a known fact that even in Hope base, if one was healthy, that means they are from a powerful influence or family, as for being a virgin? They are as rare as dragon horn or a phoenix feather, because as soon as one is notice, they would be deflowered as to increase the human population. For one as beautiful as Celine to remain a virgin, that could only mean there are rules set in place. Plus, she said baron, that to say that there are marquis, count, and dukes above them!

This might be a terrifying force, to stay hidden this long!

"The Baron said, I should bring you to him when you wake up, as to what he wants, this servant doesn't want to die, so don't know." It would be stupid to ask one superiors as to what they want to do, especially inside of the Barbarian Empire! She might be pleasing to the eye, but she knows that inside of the Empire, one strength matters, in fact this is the same everywhere, if one has strength one would not even look at a flower vase such as her with any importance. After all, the stronger one's partner is, the stronger one's children would be. Since the world they are living in is the sage world, one could find people as her almost everywhere.

"Is that so? Bring me to him, I would like to talk to him as well." To be the lord of a city and not touch such a woman, one's will must be as strong as iron. The more he thought of this, the more Malvick was interested in the Baron, he was sure that even he, in all his three decades of life would not be able to control lust from clouded his mind, if he was to have Celine serve him every day, but the baron was able to do it! This show one how extraordinary the baron was!

"Excuse me sir, but it would be best to have a bath and then meet the baron." It would be a miracle if he were to survive, even if the baron as a high opinion of him, if he was to meet the baron smelly bad.

"Oh, that's true, that would be rude of me if I met him like this. By the way, I'm Malvick Evernight Blackson, you can call me Malvick though." He was leaded towards were he supposed the baths where, he thought it might be best to introduce himself as he was at it.

Hearing it, Celine wore a surprised expression, as she knew what the name meant. To have to three names, it could only mean that he was form a powerful ancient family or a divine family. It was a known fact, that across the Sage Continent, only people from those two categories where allow to have three names, lest they be hunted down. For example, the emperor name is Wolfstein Ironback and the northern duke being the emperor father is call Bison Ironback as well. As people from a semi divine family, they can have two names.

Malvick immediately caught the surprise on Celine's face, he thought that she must have known about him form their hidden organization. He felt proud, that even his reputation had spread so far, that an organization like this one, would know about him.

It didn't take long for them to reach the bathhouse as they only had to walk for 5 minutes in total. As Celine led the way, his eyes opened wide as he was surprise at how far they were behind in technology. There was no trace of electricity on the way, no cemented roads, not even a car. All he saw was things that made him think that he was in the medieval era. He thought there might be a reason for that, so he did not question it as Celine led him into a bathhouse.

The bathhouse was 5 meters tall and 15 meters long, there where multiple rooms inside of it, so that people could have privacy. Just like when they were on their way here, there was no people inside of the bathhouse.

" Here we are." Celine said, as she couldn't help but blush as she looks at Malvick's body with shining eyes.

" Thank you, I will take a bath now, please bring me some clothes to change into." Malvick spook as he waited for Selene to leave the room but frown his brows as he saw her striping her clothes.

" What are you doing?" He voice was lace with coldness as he asked.

" I'm going to wash you!" Surprisingly, Celine spoke back, not as scared as she was, like when he spoke to her earlier. When she found out that he had three names, she has decided in her heart jump ship. After all, she knows what kind of person the baron was, when he gets tired of one of his servants, they would disappear, so of course she would jump ship at any chance she gets, because she doesn't want to have an early death, plus she was sure that Malvick would not get angry at her.

***

An hour later after taking a bath, Malvick walked out of the bathhouse with clothes made of beast skin.

His pants were made from ice serpent as what he heard from Celine. That's why his pants glittered like snake scales from afar. His shirt was like a robe but the front part of it was cut open to allow the pants to show, and to have better freedom of movement. Unlike his pants that was white in color, his robe like shirt were made from the feathers of a night owl, making his shirt pitch black.

With his black dreadlock falls down his back like serpents, his handsome black face, his dark brown eyes that looked black like the night skies and clothes, he looked like a mysterious prince from the kingdom of darkness.

Following behind him was still Celine but as compared to before, her beautiful white face glows with a faint womanly glow as she follows a few steps behind Malvick. On the entire journey she would constantly look at Malvick and when he looks back at her, she looked away as if she was shy.

As she walked, she looked like she was in pain as she limps constantly and every time it happens, she would glare at Malvick with tears in her eyes as if she was feeling wrong.

Although, he can't she her face with his senses, he could feel her eyes burning through his back from time to time, but Malvick ignored it as he was thinking of what the baron and he would talk about, because of what he just did, he did not really have an upper hand on the conversation ahead. Thinking of this, he looked back at Celine and signed, 'did I make a mistake?'

They soon arrived infront of a building that remind him of a cathedral, even if it was a very ugly and simple version of one. The building was 10-meter-tall, the length of the building was unknown as even with his eyes he could see the end of it. He could use his abilities to gauge the length if there were people inside as his sense skill must have a life signal to work. In fact, the skill is more like a receiver, he sends a signal out and it would bounce back if there is a signal of life in the area of the skill, the stronger the signal, the stronger the person.

Being a guess, he would not do something rude as to use his skill, well, the main reason is that he was not sure as to how strong the baron was. if he was strong and he senses the skill, he would be in a world of trouble.
