Baron

what a beautiful morning! the sun was shining trough the window and gently illuminating everything in the room...except Rose eye's, the sun shined on her closed eyes with the power of ten supernovas making it impossible to sleep (*sigh* i know that feeling)

with a grumble she got up and using her inventory changed her pajamas into a modern type of clothing. after that she put her futon into her inventory and sit on a chair that was in the room, when she looked at the Bed she noticed it was empty so i guess Adelar is already up

'today we are going to Aether?'

<that's the plan>

the sound of door opening could be heard and Adelar entered the room with two plates in his hands

<he does know that you have a ton of food in your inventory...right?>

'aww~ its so nice of him to bring me food!'

<but he saw you pack food into your inventory rig->

'shhh...dont ruin the moment'

Adelar: i got breakfast

he said as he placed the food on the table and sit on a chair himself

Adelar: so when are we going to heaven?

Rose: i dont know, we can go after we eat to be honest

Adelar: well let's eat this fast in that case.

after he said that Rose raised her hand and slammed it on the table making Adelar startled, he even jumped slightly in his chair from fright

Rose: FOOL! you dont eat food fast! its a sin! food is something you eat slow to make the experience better!

Adelar: ...i-im sorry, i didnt know...

Rose: i shall forgive you this time but watch your tongue next time!

Adelar: yes ma'am...

and with that they started to eat. BUT it didnt lasted long however as when they were half way done with their meal they heard someone frantically knocking on the door

Adelar: i'm coming.

he declared as he stood up and walked up to the door, when he opened it he saw the receptionist who had a very pale face and a scared expression

Receptionist: i-im sorry to disturb you dear customer but there is someone who would want to meet you in the lobby...

he looked back at Rose and she looked back at him while shrugging her shoulders, they decided to leave the food (much to Rose displeasure) and exited the room while going to the lobby where they saw a bunch of soldiers waiting

when the soldiers saw them one of them walked up to them and started speaking

Soldier: Are you Adelar?

Adelar: yes, who am i speaking to?

Soldier: have you been in the village north from here yesterday?

asked the soldier as he ignored Adelar question

Adelar: yes i was there. is there a problem?

Soldier: The baron has Asked for you! come with us!

said the soldier as two more of his buddies walked up to Adelar and stood by his sides. Adelar was completely dumbfounded by this and let out an "eh?" before the soldiers moved and started he was forced to go with them

Rose who saw this decided to not do anything for now as she didnt sense any negative emotion directed at him from the guard's and fallowed them

Soldier: do you have a horse?

Adelar: yes i have one, he is tied up behind the Inn

Soldier: you two go get his horse!

he gave a command to two soldiers and they fallowed it almost immediately. the man then noticed Rose who fallowed right after them

only then he noticed the weird clothing that she and Adelar was wearing (they wore Modern clothes) and remembered that she came down with him so it must means that they are traveling together...but he had to be sure

Soldier: is she with you?

Adelar: yes

Rose: hello!

the soldier just nodded his head and didnt asked more question. when the two soldier came with Adelar horse he and Rose get on it and the rest of the soldiers got on their own

when they were all ready they made their horses move and they soon were going north to the village where Adelar was yesterday

Rose: are those the same guards that you sold the weapons to?

Adelar: no, the armor looks different...

Rose: hmm...want to hear my theory??

Adelar: sure

Rose: the baron soldier's came to collect tax or to inspect the village and saw the weapons that the guard's of that village were using, when they learned who sold them and how cheap you sold them one of them must contacted the baron and now he wants to meet you

Adelar: okay makes sense. but there is one problem.

Rose: and that is?

Adelar: the baron mansion is far away...they would not be able to inform him and then come to us after he sent them away

Rose: maybe he came with them?

Adelar: maybe...

Rose: i just hope he is not one of those arrogant nobles...

Adelar: you said it...
