When we passed through the gate, I couldn't contain my awe anymore it's like are watching medieval age movie, but while being part of it too.
When Dad realised my state he decided to work as a guide and explain everything to me.
We are at the inner outskirts of the city. When I asked" how inner and outskirts." He said "listen first, ask later." And I complied.
Apparently the city has two outskirts the one inside the wall and the one outside the wall.
Outside of the walls contains of two districts the outer residential district and the outer adventurer's district. But we aren't visiting either we will visiting the city from inside the walls.
Inside the walls contains 4 districts the outside contains two.
The district we are in is the merchants district, in here all the peddlers, small traders, starting merchants, villages merchants and the city merchants all gather in here to sell there merchandises. (The district takes half of the outskirts that contains the gate from the villages side).
Next to it the adventurers district, where you can find the adventurer's guild, merchant's guild, some other guilds too, taverns, and red light street. (this district take the other jlaf of the innner outskirt, where it contains the gate that has the way to the capital and the third gate for the outer districts).
Dad was still talking but when he said the last place Mom gave him a hit that made him bit his tongue. (And it almost tore it off).
Then Mom said she will continue which I nodded in agreement.
Next to both is the Residential district. Where mainly its built to contain the houses of the people who live in the city, the houses are aimed for rich commoners, merchants, any person who will be able to gain more than 4 silver coins a month, and low nobles who just risen or about to fall. (For the people with lower income they live either in inns or in the slums outside the walls).
And finally the last district, only reached through the Residential district and you have too pass through a guarded door, the noble district. (The people live in here varies from very rich commoners to high nobility, the richer the person the more he will be near the middle and in the mid point of the district there's the manor we are going to visit).
What I want to visit from each district.
The merchants district: I want some papers and from what I heard the merchants coming from South sells it for cheap.
Also anything that will serve as a souvenir for the three girls would be appreciated.
The adventurer's district: I want to visit all the guilds in there. (Not all of them this time though, I'm sure this won't be my last visit to Roa).
And the blacksmiths in here all are great at weapons making and maintenance. I want one of them to check on my gladius. (I hadn't told Mom or Dad about the sword on my sack, both already agreed for me to keep the sword, but they yet to give me permission to use it).
As for the Residential district: it has unlimited things I want after all this one has everything in the adventurer's district but better like.
Blacksmiths who works on your everyday needs for iron, steel, silver, silverware and all the other things you would visit Blacksmiths for. (Unlike the others in the adventurer's district who only focus on swords and armour).
The noble district: is the only district that has a book store, library and literature things. (The plan to visit the book store and buy a good books for me and for Sam too, I had already allocated 5 gold coins for that purpose).
And maybe I will visit the library they have in here too.
Also Mom said they sell things in here that I won't find in any other district. (Like... I don't know will discover when I go there).
Now we still at the merchants guild we barely passed through the first line of stalls.
The first line was mainly food.
Like the first stall was selling chickens alive ones, the next one was dead ones and the body still intact the next was one selling it's parts like that. (Of course it wasn't like that, but I meant even in the smallest categories there was a variety of choices).
What caught my eye though in this line was one selling strange fruits first time seeing them, also the one next to him was selling edible flowers and herbs for seasoning. (Want to try it and if it's good I will bring some home with me).
The second line was for accessories made of polished stones and most made of the jewellery are fairly cheap. (Found the place where I will buy the gifts for the girls).
The third line was more of random things like one for candles, chandeliers, silverware, utilities, and some everyday needs.
The was many stalls got my eye, but the one who I wanted to visit the most belonged to a peddler with many papers on the ground. (Well he was sitting on the floor he was the only stall without a table).
And we passed through many more where I used many mental notes. About what I want to buy and what to ignore. (Believe me when I said what to ignore, I meant I must ignore).
What happened is there was a stall that had army of customers so it picked my curiosity for what is the merchandise.
The answer was a low priced lingeries, some adults books, a what to call it again, yes useless underwear, medicine to increase infertility and there was aphrodisiacs too.
And did I mention that most of the customers were agreeing with the person next to them from the other gender on where to meet.
You know I won't say anything again to my parents since they are married, if this world is that perverted where the stall who got the most customers then...
I had to look to the other side because a man and a woman decided to do 'IT' in middle of the street. (Like it wasn't enough that the man was caressing the other woma... you know what the whole customers and the shop owner should be dropped in prison for indecency).
The two drivers picked up the pace because the view wasn't the best especially with me and Mom around.
Then we went for the stable, well there was a faster way to go there but Dad had the great Idea of me visiting the city first.
(Well it was a good idea until those two idiots stopped from playing with each other private parts and jumped to the higher level. I hope they got arrested for indecency).
Where I saw that Dad didn't tell me everything in the districts because the stables can be found in the merchant's district the same with three inns can be found there. (Also in the three other districts have stables and inns in them, but most of the inns outside of the walls).
They varies in ranking, the first is C-ranked the second is B-ranked and the last is A-ranked. (The letters rank is what you call amount of stars and how much service you should anticipate).
C is the three stars hotels back in earth, mainly aimed at mid to upper level mid adventurers or low merchants. (Where it's a good hotel if you are salary man or some like that).
B is the kind of for the mid rich or barely rich in otherwords the 4 stars hotel, aimed for the merchants who travels from country to country or high level adventurers. (I mean when they are rich enough to buy a Mercedes back on Earth).
A-rank is like the five stars hotels back on Earth, originally they built for the rich commoners to use for special occasions like celebrating marriages, special memories or Mom didn't say it but his expression did for the bragging before doing it. (If you want to compare it to the people who can use the service back in earth then compare it to anyone professional who gets overpaid for his services).
As for the S-ranked Inns are comparable to any hotel better than the 5 stars ones back on Earth. Mainly it's built for nobility or the very rich commoners on special occasions. (For the millionaires back or higher back on Earth).
Back to the trip...
After we left Caravaggio and the other horses in the stables, we found an envoy from the Manor saying the masters are waiting for us.
(Originally we should have stayed today at inn, and Dad should reserve rooms for us to stay in).
So we started walking out of the stables to find a coach with the same crest as the one I see on father's letters. It has a feral wolf drawn in it.
(The feral wolf ((or the high level mutated wolf turned into monster or like I explained before wildlife animals before transforming into monsters called beasts)), the difference between it and assault dog when both didn't mutate yet is the same difference between the huge polar wolves and average sized wolves found all around the globe. (Especially the Arabian and Africa wolves, I'm sure of those because I've met both of them more than once).
One known for it's speed and cunning when attacking, and the other known for destroying targets with a single attack whether it's with his fangs or claws both capable of penetrating hardest steel. (I'm explaining the difference between the beasts before transforming into monsters, the mana in the world increase the power of normal animals even before they transform into monster who are coated in in mana).
All of that not mentioning when the rare mutations happens and it transforms into the horrifying demon wolf, a single one of them is B-ranked monsters, meaning a single one capable of destroying a village on his own.
Fangs and claws, 10 times stronger than his pack, his size is double of his kind reaching the same size as terminator boar.
All of that not mentioning he has the cunning and the speed of the assault dogs, and to fulfill his ultimate power or full mutation he need to gather enough to be counted ranked A-ranked monster then the real horror begins.
The last time one appeared the deployed 10 superhuman knights like Dad, only one lived to tell the tale. And he returned crippled too.
From that moment whether it was demon or feral wolf they deploy knights immediately to deal with it. And the crest serves as a reminder and pride that grand-uncle Sarous Boreas Greyrat was the man to kill the known calamity the mutated demon wolf).
(Just you know when I asked Dad about the credibility of the story and how much of it is real, he said: unfortunately it was true, and he told me the wolf destroyed his armour, right knee and his sword too before grand-uncle Sarous could kill him.
In other words he killed him with his hands using brute force to destroy it's skull, and we are going to meet this man soon).
When Dad realised we are going immediately from the stables to manor for the meeting without any place to change clothes he tried to explain the situation but he got cut by a familiar voice.
It was the coach's driver he is the same Reeve who lost his leg defending the village and when I focused the envoy who come to receive us is the same Reeve who lost his arm fighting the bandits for us.
The message was clear, this more of a casual meeting than a formal one, and to make the thing even more casual uncle Philip sent a letter with the Reeve missing his arm saying: Dear Paul, if you let me wait more than 30 minutes, I will tell your wife about the secret garden of the Notos.
(Which for some reason made Dad turn pale).
And with that Dad carried me and Mom (literally) and thrown us into coach and told the men to get in.
And we sat like this:
Me and Mom on the comfy seats belongs to nobles, Dad sat alone on the seat made for the guards who usually sit inside the coach to be ready to get out at any time.
Mr Laws and Mr Smith with the driver (the former Reeve).
And the envoy was left behind to finish paperwork in the stable, the gate, etc.
When we all sat Dad told the driver to pick the pace and reach the manor as fast as possible.
.
"(10 minutes later.)"
Somehow I feel my stomach got out of my mouth, the horses were almost running because Dad midway through jumped out of the coach like a madman and drove himself at full speed where he controlled the horses like someone in middle of car races where his speed exceeded 50m/sec. (In middle of city so he had to make many of hard turns and unnatural rotations).
When we reached the Manor's gate in a record time of 40 minutes after leaving the Manor's stables.
The guards didn't belive what they saw at first they thought the Reeves had forgotten something and that's why they returned.
When Dad told them he was summoned on emergency they let us get in immediately, where we found two men were sitting in front of each other talking, on how Paul would react for the prank written on the letter, just for them to be surprised by Paul who got in front of them.
And with that we reached the meeting.
.
Immediately the young man stood up and started greeting us. (Well he isn't young man per se, he is about Dad's age but compared to the man next to him he is still young).
"Look who appeared just when we were talk about, you are way too early cousin and you Miss Zenith sorry for the mess I got you in, I was just joking with your husband." Said the Young man while giving us the noblemen greeting and gestured us to sit.
But I found Mom trying her best to be back into shape before she gave the noble women greeting to both.
With that I decided to follow the crew and I returned the noblemen greeting to Lord Phillip.
Just to be meet with widened eyes of everyone in the room before Lord Sauros narrowed his eyes and jumped out of the sofa while shouting and swearing.
"YOU BASTARD, YOU DIDN'T INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND YOU CALL THIS A GREETING." He said this while running towards us.
Needless to say when I saw a two meters tall man with enough muscles to be compared to a gorilla I lost consciousness.
.
.
"(After 15 minutes.)"
I woke up to find myself sleeping on Mom's lap and Dad with a black eye and big pump at his head from the top.
Where they kept saying many things mainly asking about my state but I hardly heard anything said.
"Rudi, are you hearing us?" Mom said with a face on verge of tears.
"... yeah Mom, all clear, but it would be great if you gave me some breathing space." When I said that, Mom literally ignored what I said, and hugged me again almost making me lose consciousness again.
"I can't believe that Paul's son is that coward, and you are a weakling in top of that you almost lost consciousness again by your mother's hug." Said a sleek brown haired men with a short ponytail haircut but unlike Mom it's a normal ponytail not a top one.
The man build is small, he has the air of a cunning man around him also his body make you feels he is always ill because of how small and this his body is.
He was looking at me with interest in his eyes. And some mockery in his tone.
"Well, the truth is.. I'm scared of Lord Sauros and he was going to hit me too." I mumbled meekly as I was literally hiding behind Mom, while throwing glances towards Lord Sauros.
The answer got Lord Sauros angry and made Lord Phillip widen his eyes.
"And why are you afraid of father." When Lord Phillip asked this question my eyes landed on his father's hands. With that Mom connected dots and sighed.
"The blame for the that is that idiot." Mom said as she brought Dad from his ear.
"He told Rudi about a fictional story of Lord Sauros crushing demon wolf with his bare-hands." Mom said while shaking her head.
When Mom mentioned the story for some reason Lord Sauros raised his nose to the sky and had a face full of pride.
"HMPHF." For some reason he also huffed hugtly and proudly.
"Well the is story is true but I think little Rudeus shouldn't be afraid of father if anything he is in very good mood today fo— ahh."
"DON'T TALK USELESSLY PHILLIP. Hmphf." The bear in form of a human before giving what appears to be a light punch from the force used in it, but that doesn't change the fact the it was a gorilla hand.
And with the punch Lord Phillip was sent flying for 3 meters. (I want to go home).
And suddenly Lord Sauros walked calmly towards us and with every step who going in our way I was cowering more and more behind Mom.
"I wasn't angry at you dear, I was angry at that idiot for greeting me poorly and even if you didn't introduce yourself right I won't be angry at you for that." For some reason he was talking to me calmly even after giving to Dad what's more than a slightly stronger punch compared to the one he gave to his cousin.
"For real." I asked meekly.
"THOMAS, LEAVE THE ROOM NOW." He suddenly shouted in a high voice to the point the chandelier in the roof began to dance.
"FOR HOW LONG ARE YOU GOINGTO KEEP ACTING RUDEUS?" He asked angrily while looking at me.
"What do you mean sir?" I asked more meekly while I was a literal ball behind Mom.
"PHILLIPTRYTODO interfere HIMORERIS on the nobility filth AND I WILL KILL YOU." He said while looking at his son. (Something isn't right over here).
"I know you are a Miko, Rudeus, and I know you are the one killed the bandits, and I know you are doing an act to convince us that you are a normal child, but now isn't the time for that." He shouted left and right but he was gradually getting calmer and calmer when he was talking to me.
"Huh!?!" A huh escaped my mouth unintentionally when I realised that all my act was for naught. (How did he know? Are you fucking kidding me? Will he try to separate me for my family? What should I do? But how in the first place did he know all of that?)
When I asked this question inside my head I gave a glance to Dad who looked to the other side. (Paul Greyrat, when we go home, that's if he let me go with you, me and you going to have a very long conversation).
"Don't worry I'm not planning to treat my grand nephew as a tool, so need to turn this pale and if you want you can punish Paul all you want back at home and I will even promise to protect you from other nobles, but for now I need you to stop the act." He talked with a strange demeanor considering his visible character, Dad and Philip's reactions are the biggest proof on that.
"Good grief, talk about wasted performance." I said as I sat well next to Mom while talking like anything but a toddler.
That made all the adults in the room confused and surprised with many different reactions.
Dad was confused by my sudden change of attitude and character to the point he looked at me with raised brow.
The two noblemen had opposite reactions to each other the father had a grin and the son was slightly stunned but he had calculating smile.
For the hunter and the Reeve they're looking at me with fear and confusion.
"Come on you two it was fairly obvious that I'm a Miko, don't tell me you thought a normal toddler capable to kill the bandits. The normal reaction was your daughters' reactions." I answered nonchalant about the fact I'm a Miko while the two villagers were surprised by my new way of talking.
"And you two as you can see I massacred a whole bandit group mercilessly while torturing them, just for killing one man from the village I barely care about, so I will leave your imagination open about what I will do to you if you dared to try to separate me from my family." I said as I realised my blood lust aimed at the two noblemen.
Just when I was about to continue threatening them I was stopped by a pinch in my thigh that made me whimper in pain.
"Miss Zenith I almost laughed from how cute he looked when he was threatening us, but now I'm sure even if he is Paul's son he is all bark no bite." Said the younger noblemen while laughing his heart out at the sight of me crying because of Mom's pinch and how embarrassing the situation I'm in.
"Mommy it hurts, please stop." I was crying because I feel Mom had tore off some flesh of my leg.
"Hey Zenith, I know you are angry but quick reminder that your pinches capable of tearing of my skin out of my flesh." Dad said awkwardly fearing he will be her next target.
That's when Mom left my leg alone and I probably looked like some girl who hurt her knees and started crying because how the younger nobleman was laughing at me.
"Let's see how will you laugh if you were victim to her pinch all I know when I was on verge of death because of bleeding wasn't on the same level of pain." I said as I was caressing my leg while secretly healing. (At this level of pain I couldn't care if anyone realises my abilities in magic more than I somehow subdue the pain).
"Like you have been to this level of pain before." Said the younger nobleman mockingly but he found the room mood turned grim.
"When I.. we returned from the hunt I found Rudi bleeding from everywhere and his legs were in bad shape to the point the bones were visible at the knees." Mom said suddenly with her head low, mood where it is visible my word hit badly with her and there is no joke in what happened, and I decided to prove her words but folding my pants to show them the scar.
"Wait this is a some kind of joke, right Paul?" Said the nobleman chuckling lightly but when he realised all he was saying was real, he gulped.
"I will say it again and Mom please no pinching it really hurts, I love my family, and I really care about Buena and the people live in there I'm ready to do anything for them and to be with them so if anyone no matter who he is tried to stand in my way of staying with them he shall face my wrath." I said again with serious tone this time.
At the site the 5 men smiled, and Mom had a happy smile but she didn't stop the reproachful look.
"Don't worry kid as long as I'm alive no one will dare to try to separate you from them." Said Lord Sarous seriously making the other nobleman look at him with a surprised face.
"Wait are you telling me he is a real Miko and he really is the one who stopped the bandits but why your reports saying Paul was the one to stop the bandits." Said the nobleman with a slightly threatening tone to the Reeve standing behind us. (Well I was always hating how Lilia was standing while we are talking but no we at noble house it is a must).
"That's the official words to everyone and that was supposed to be like that until you said you want to make a celebration for the hero who killed the bandits." I answered before anyone answered and decided to take the lead.
"And wh— now tell me why shouldn't punish the village's Reeves for betraying my trust and giving me false information." Said Lord Phillip with a threatening tone.
"Because let's say they told you the truth are you capable of handling the wrath of that idiot after asking him his son, no, are you even capable of handling me." I said as I pulled the fruit's knife and with help of gravity magic I made it appear like my throw made it part of the pillar behind him.
The only one who saw what happened are Lord Sauros, Dad, Mr Smith and Mr Laws.
Mom and Lord Phillip eyes couldn't see what I did. (Not even me saw what happened I over overpowered the throw with gravity magic to the point I hardly saw it leave my hand).
"For you to keep threatening us what or who made you do this." Lord Phillip made a gesture to Mom to stop when she was about to punish me for what I did.
"As you know I'm a Miko but no one, not even Mom and Dad asked me, what's my power? All they know I'm a Miko with slightly higher intelligence than average and early consciousness but they are half right." I decided to find a good lie. (Well the lie I thought of it last year in case either Mom, Dad or Lilia asked me what's my power but since none asked it kind of was eating dust in my head).
"And what your power?" Lord Phillip asked with eager smile.
"I'm Miko of knowledge, the ability I'm born with is a voice appears only in my head to tell me the right answer for everything, also memories and information appears suddenly in my head explains essential information." The answer made everyone fell silent. (Well now when I thought about it this fake power is OP).
The moment I declared my fake power Lord Phillip had a calculating and greedy smile.
Dad's expression is stunned the same can be said with everyone except for Lord Sauros who had a curious reaction.
"First appearance of the power was during my infancy, it told me the essential things, like who's Mom and Dad, who is my family, what's family, how to enhance my survival rate against my illness I'm sure you all heard of it."
(Now I can win everyone sympathy and make them fell that I paid a big price for this power).
And from the looks of it, the curiosity o meter of this people will break soon.
"Second appearance he told me to trust Mom, Dad and Lilia and to try my best to grow stronger as much as I can because the future that awaits me isn't the brightest."
(There was two questions asked at the moment, one from Mom and one from Lord Sauros, the one from Mom she asked me what are they to me? The answer was the most precious thing in my life and the people I'm ready to sacrifices everything my life included for.
And she asked the second question was my love and trust because of the Miko power's advice or because I really love them, I answered immediately because of the Miko power that was the case for the first months after my 5th month this love turned genuine because how much love they offered.
As for Lord Sauros question was, does Lilia have a maroon hair and leg injury? My answer was maroon hair yes, leg injury no, but why the sudden question. His answered by confirming something and he promised me yet again he won't hurt me or my family and will even help protect them if I want).
But to tell the truth I'm not trusting him this much, maybe because the story Dad told me combined with the fact he is capable of making Dad fly with a tap I'm scared.
"Third and final time during my infancy, he told me to stop playing around and focus on being as knowledgeable as possible and the strongest I could or I will regret failing for the rest of my life."
When I said this Mom pursed her lips and looked sad maybe either for the fact I was learning for survival not for loving to learn like she thought or maybe the last sentence wasn't something easily passable.
But what's done is done, no changing the past now, I should make everyone sympathise my state and that's what I will do.
The men all looked at me with sad faces maybe because most of them finally understood that the bandits were just the beginning of pain according to the way I'm saying my fake power is saying.
(Well let's improve the spirits a little.)
"After that he appeared once before my training in sword with Dad and he told me he is the worst teacher you can find to the point a donkey should be a better teacher and if I want to improve while he is still my teacher I should focus on his footwork and his sword play to learn anything. By the way what's the donkey?" Do I need to say when I said that the whole room was laughing? Well even Mom couldn't even scold me because from the way the joke is said I shouldn't know what's donkey.
Well the one who laughed the most was Lord Philip. Especially when he looked at Dad before saying: because of how stupid you are even your son's Miko ability badmouthed you.
"Finally the last two time were the only time it appeared in close period of time it appeared twice on the same day, the first was early in the morning before dawn, it told me to .. to. Haaah, it told me to steal a sword then leaving the house early in the morning and run towards the east part of the village inside the forest and hunt the bandis silently before they reach the village, then start a fire but he told me to leave the heads perfectly fine so Mr Laws can get the bounty which he will was going to share willingly with the village, as for their loot it told me to hide them in the forest to use them later." Okay maybe I went overboard with acting in here Mom's face isn't the best, her face is screaming unsaid words: this isn't my problem and I shouldn't have done that.
Lord Phillip has a strange calculating smile like he had a plan for what I said. (Well time for plan B).
"But I didn't follow its advice because.. well I couldn't do anything about how to .. no hiding it, I was scared, I was scared of dying, it said only if I followed it's advice perfectly my chance of survival is lower than 30% because I was too weak." I acted like I was a kid scared by hugging Mom and making my body shiver. (The plan is to make everyone know even though I have the power it burdens me and it doesn't change the slightest the fact I'm a toddler).
And from the looks of it is in the right direction. (Well at least Mr Laws is back to give me his sympathetic eyes when I'm hurt he stopped giving them to me since the day I killed the bandits, he used to look at me like I'm someone who someday will hurt his daughter, but now he stopped).
"The voices kept shouting at me the whole day for being coward and didn't stop until when I was playing with Sylphy it said 'you are the one who killed him.' When I looked at where Sylphy was looking, I saw the gruesome view of beheading Reeve Ferland." I intentionally lowered my voice slightly and made it look I was hurt by the fact it kept shouting at me.
And I repeated the sentence with a grim voice and fixed my sound at the rest but said the last sentence with a very clear voice.
"It kept chiding me by saying: I killed Reeve Ferland by being coward, how he could've been saved if I killed them myself, how Samantha will live the rest of her life without her father. Words like this capable of crushing the hardest rocks."
When I said this words Mom tightened her brace, while clenching her fist too tight to the point her hands started bleeding.
Dad looked in earth, not capable of raising it again.
The two villagers looked at me with a look that said a lot of but they couldn't even muster to give their concludes.
The older nobleman looked at me like if he saw the one talking to me he will crush him with his hands while the younger one finally looked into the ground. (Not enough I must break him and make him hate my powers).
"And after hurting me with all of this words it said: Only this time it will tolerate my incompetence and will tell me what to do, but it won't do it again nor it will do it for free I'm punished for the next nine months it will stop both the moment advice the, like the one I was hearing and the other memories and the information suddenly appears in my head. In other words it will stop all of the powers that make me a true Miko of knowledge."
Mom was kept repeating these words 'you weren't the blame, you shouldn't have done that and don't care about what it said.'
(Well, maybe I went overboard here and maybe I shouldn't have done that high level acting in front of Mom who could be traumatised because of that, but I had already passed point of no return).
"And from the last five month and for the next 110 days I'm a normal toddler just with extra knowledge than the average and with a trauma making him have unbearable nightmares, oh right it mentioned another punishment back then, after thinking about it those strange nightmares was it's doing too."
Mom had a pitch black face, her expression became unreadable. Her brace have become more of a anger contained than warm hug.
Dad was silently grieving because he can neither help me nor he could be the one who offers me anything to help with my spirits.
Everyone in the room was looking at me with sympathetic eyes, but I haven't finished yet I will finish when I'm sure everyone here sympathise with me.
"As for the essential information it gave me the most important ones, never trust a noble, never hurt your family, cherish your friends, love what you've to enjoy everything, being weak means being a prey, crying won't fix anything fighting for what you want will. Things like this." No new reactions I wouldn't be surprised if any of them didn't hear me because of how broken they look.
"As for memories it usually gives me what ifs, like what well happen if I didn't help myself to fight illness, what will happen if I died, what well happened if I told Dad about where the bandits are and he decided to go there by himself, finally what will happen if trusted a nobleman."
That's when Lord Phillip realised we are going nowhere with me talking, he sighed a long sigh before starting to talk.
"Paul, let's continue the meeting another time, for now you all should rest." And he called the butler before sending everyone to his room.
Me, Dad and Mom will share a room.
And Mr Laws and Mr Smith each wil have his own room.
Worth mentioning our room will be in the guest's quarter and Mr Laws and Mr Smith's room is in the servant's quarter.
And for the first time in my life I will share a bed with my parents. I tried to crack a joke by asking: Am I interrupting something? And should I sleep immediately?
Let's say the answer was a dead fish eyes belongs to Mom tried to glare at me but when I saw her face and how hurt she is because of my fake story I just lowered my head.
And for the first time in my life I slept hugging both of my parents but the warmth of their hug they usually have wasn't there.
