Walking in front of Rhaela house, Raven looked for her.
Knock-knock
Opening the door, Rhaela looked at Raven blushed.
"Lord Raven! Why are you in this late hour."
"Did a Lord need permission to came to his subject house." Raven replied with a smile.
"Yes! I mean No, but didn't the Lord wanted to move to his old house." Rhaela replied.
"Yeah! I told Alice, to move out with all of his belonging before evening, but you see I don't have anyone to cook for me, and in the village, everyone is with their family. And I don't want to be a burden."
"So" Rhaela replied with a sweet smile. As if telling him to come to her house.
"You see, you are single and I am also. Beside I know you more than anyone." Raven said while smiling wryly.
Hearing it, Rhaela blush a little, while in thought, 'Was the young master this mature from start.'
"Come inside, lord Raven, but let me told you beforehand I don't have good meal for today."Rhaela replied as she gone insider her house, and Raven also followed her.
Eating a tastless, porridge of Nettle leaf and Dandelion root, he proposed "Would you like to move out with me in my old house."
She immediately asked "Why"
'You lived with me for nearly two years, and you need reason.' Raven thought, but he reluctantly answered.
"You see I needed an assistant who could be loyal and whom I could rely on."
"So, you need my help just like when I was you maid." Rhaela asked.
"Yeah, something like that, but this time you wouldn't work for my betterment but you would do for village."
Hearing it she stopped eating for sometimes, while nodding her head she said "I will think about it."
***
Silverwood village is located at Southern region of Celestial Empire. This settlement moved from Extreme north and established a small village in this region within hundred year. Making all other village head envy.
On Celestial empire, Northerners are considered savage beasts.
That's why Northerners slaves always has high demand in circle of Nobles. Not for their savagery but for their beauty and their pleasure. Man or Woman both would fight for such prize in auction.
...
It was the bright hours of morning, sun just gone through its Red phase, providing village a bright calm light over Silverwood village Army barrack. Which is right opposite of Bloodwitch Forest.
Large number of youth middle age man gathered around Raven SIlverwood, their previous village head who miraculously recovered.
Army Barrack is at east of the village opposite of Bloodwitch Forest the only land which is forbidden to venture in Silverwood.
Even in the village army, only the man among man would guard the village from the creature of forest, be it Goblin's or several PTSD added jungle boar anything could be come out from here as if it is a Gatcha game but only the enemy would spawn.
Barrack was large expanse of land purely covered in green lawn grass. Every decision about Army, recruitment of soldiers, decision about village safety held in this place.
In the middle of Crowd, Raven stood surrounded by his guard and Thorpe. Raven Observe the man around him with a frown in his face, with decrease of population the village has only thirty families left. So if you multiply with ten at least there would be three hundred man and woman.
"They aren't that many in number, only around seventy. If we fight against Groyer's with these number than I need to flee from this village." Raven mumbled.
He even thought if he could run away with the villager but wherever he go Groyer's or the godforsaken goblins and orc will tear them down.
He don't want that to happened.
Raven looked at Thorpe and asked "Is this everyone?" Thorpe replied "We got all man in village even the beggar Rowan. And others, wither taken or died while protecting their family. Other than that the man left in the village are either too old or too young."
'Hmm... sad.' Raven thought. As he saw several teenager present around the crowd.
"Boiling blood of teenagers." Raven mumbled.
"we will work with the man we have."
Raven turned to the man looked at him with respect and awe, Why wouldn't they be when he was the village head there was fifty five family on the village and they would only complain about how little food they have.
"Great mans of Silverwood, we all know why we are here. We don't have food on our mouth, let alone simple cloths to wear, think about the winter. How many people dies in previous winter."
"Many, I saw in graveyard. Why this thing happened, is it because of us no it was all because of Groyer's. They took our pallets, they took our foods. They even take our children from us."
"Whenever these soldier come our wife wasn't safe our mother's fall in fear our sister have to hide in the basement but still they taken from us, Every week."
"But! I given you chance to change it, I promise if you could follow me our sisters don't have to hide in basement.
Seeing the mans even some soldiers, fell into his word he couldn't help but thought "I should have been a politician in my previous life."
If this was the game there would be raining with reward but this is the real life and his system seems little bit stingy.
Sighing in his heart he continued his speech.
"Our, Brother's currently at enemy's hand, who knows what they are doing with our sisters. After I fell, those bastards harshly treated us. Now that I have returned its time for take our land and save our brother, mother and protect our sisters.
"Its time for make their people go through the same fate, loot all they have, people call us savage its time for them to see our savagery." Yelling the last part Raven lifted his hand and gazed upon expression of man around him.
'Today's subject is slavery isn't it.' Raven thought but maintained a poker face.
"Yeahh!!!"
"Lord Raven, has spoken, its time for them."
"We will fight for you, Lord Raven, we will fight for our brother."
Reacting to his speech men cheered with determination and happiness, specially young ones.
'He even feared if they send into pig farms to slaughter they would do many thing beside the slaughter because of the level of excitement.'
As he was looking at the excited crowd thinking wild thing.
-[Ding]- notification awaked him out of sudden from his thought.
-[Deity! Has pleased with your work.]-
-[Deity gifted you 1000EP coins.]
