Chapter 71 - Slums

It's been a few days since our return to the town, it's been really peaceful compared what the knight and I went through in the Dalgueuil Forest. I have been feeling sad about not able to say my final farewell to the knight.

Sometimes I remember our journey into there, we been fighting tough monster there and still survived. I talked about our adventure with Aliss as she really wanted to know what had happen there. She also accepted me as her ring but Aliss didn't tell anybody that I could talk as his father might tried to sell me.

Come to think of it, I was indeed a valuable thing and probaly cost a fortune to buy. Sir Allen, Aliss father still didn't distribute the reward to the people of the slums like he promised. Luckly Aliss was there to remind her father but even so his father still didn't like the idea.

Sir Allen did promise to the bronze knight and he must fullfill it as he was a man on his word. He told his servant to distribute the rewards in his place as he didn't want to go there. Aliss told her father that she wanted to join the distribution of the knights reward to the people of the slums.

His father didn't let her, "No! You can't go to that dirty place... you might get sick or they might harm you... people in there doesn't like us, the nobility."

"But father, you never been there once in your life and to tell me that the slums was dangerous... it not make any sense." Aliss replied.

I think I had seen this scene before, the same thing happen before Aliss father thrown me away. Such a bad memories that I had remember just now, I just hope this time it wouldn't happen again.

"It's true I never go there but... it just I don't want you to be hurt... people there are dangerous as least that what the other noble been saying."

"I'm sorry, I know you worried father but please let me see the slums." Aliss insisted.

"Okay, I didn't want the same incident happen again because of me. I will let's you go but I will also send a few of our guardsman to accompany you."

Aliss was so happy that her father agreed to her request, she then hugs her father as she said thank you. "Remember Aliss, always be with the guardsman." His father gave Aliss a reminder and with that, Sir Allen then go to inform the guardsman and the servant about it.

"Hey you seems excited about it..." I ask Aliss.

"Not really but I just want to see how the people of the slums been doing, to be honest I want to be like the bronze knight."

"I see! That's a good thing but remember you can't fight monster..." There's my specialty, ultimate joke.

"HA! That's funny... You don't even been there yourself... who knows there might be a monster there." She said that and her face tell me that she didn't really take my jokes that well.

"You think so? I already go there once and I could tell you it ain't like this place... the place is dark and much more terifiying than you think." I respond back.

"Really? Do you think I'm that stupid, it called the slums not a palace! Stupid ring..." Aliss mock me.

With that, our arguement begin again. I don't know why but since I been with Aliss. All we do was just argue, it's like there no chemistry between me and her. I think the bronze knight is the best partner I ever had.

But again, I wouldn't say that Aliss is bad partner it's just that we didn't understand each other yet. How did I able to stand to her behavior, it's because either one of use will apologize sooner or later. Our partnership then will be fix again and it's funny how we works that ways.

Sir Allen then called Aliss that the servant are waiting for her infront of the gate. "Aliss! The servant are waiting for you... Hurry up please.."

Aliss quickly went to the gate as I could tell she really wanted to go to the slums. I just hope that nothing bad happen there.
