After the meeting with the saintess, Lief never left his room .
Zarian : [ Hey Ayla , don't you think that the guy is a bit too off , you know what I mean like toooo]
Ayla: [ Bitchy ? ]
Zarian : [ Well that's not what I wanted to say but yeah , why do you think he is like that ]
Ayla : [ Well , I don't know. But I think his name is Lief or something like that . The guards called him that during execution]
Zarian: [ Yeah , I heared that he was sentenced to death for brutally murdering a priest. ]
Ayla : [ What the hell ! A priest ?]
Ayla stopped eating and looked at Zarian in shock . Zarian having finished his meal as he was a quick eater wanted to tease her a bit .
Zarian : [ Yeah , I heared that he plucked out all of his hair and fingernails one by one . And he skinned him alive , after that he ripped out his organ until he was dead ! ]
Ayla : [ Aaah ! Shut the hell up Zarian . I am getting shivers . I don't even wanna eat anymore]
Zarian : [ Haha. Sorry , sorry , I am just teasing you but I did hear that he killed the priest in a gruesome way ]
Ayla : [ But he looks so young , I don't know what made him do that ]
Zarian : [ Well , who knows . I was just a petty theif ]
Ayla : [ You sure are pathetic Zarian .]
Ayla laughed as she ate her food . Zarian looked at her with a smile , a smile which looks like he was relieved .
Zarian : [ Say Ayla . What mede you get the
death penalty]
Ayal suddenly stopped eating and stared at her plate . Her eyes were hiding tears .
Zarian : [ Well it's alright if you don't wanna say it . We all have went through some things afterall ]
Ayla quickly wipped her tears before Zarian could see it . She smiled with confidence.
Ayla : [ What happened in the past doesn't matter anyways . I am gonna defeat the great evil and make the petty god to grant my wish ]
She beamed with confidence like someone who have found a new ray of hope .
She finished eating .
Ayla : [ Well then , I am gonna read some books to learn about this world . You should also stop lazing around ]
Zarian: [ Well aren't you harsh , little miss ]
Ayla left the dining hall . Zarian looked out the window . He watched two siblings playing with eachother. The older brother carried his sister on his shoulder and the younger sister used his hair like a liver to direct him .
Zarian looked at the children in joy but his eyes hid some regret and loneliness.
Zarian: [ A new hope , huh? ]
Zarian jumped out the window and landed on the roof of the inn .
Zarian : [ Well I guess it's time to get some shit done ]
Meanwhile, in a room around the corner .
The furniture were destroyed, the vase was broken and the wall were bloody like someone repeatedly punched it .
Lief sat on the bed while staring at the wall . He murmured to himself while biting his nails .
Lief : [ I will fix everything, I will fix everything, I will fix everything..]
He repeatedly said to himself .
Zarian went to the market in hopes of gathering some intel .
He heared the people talking among themselves about the new heroes .
" Did you hear about the new heroes ?"
" They say that they were summoned from another world to fight against the savage demons "
" But what about Laziel?"
" Isn't he just hunting dog of the Holy Temple , he is not fit to be a hero "
" But he is the strongest swordsman in the empire ."
"Well it's the will of the great God "
Zarian learned a lot from the conversations of the people . Zarian was curious about the "Hunting dog of Holy Temple " .
But that wasn't in top of his priority.
He kept going to public places where people gathered to get new information. Having been the greatest theif in the Capital , he had a few tricks up his sleeves .
After having gathered some information, he returned to the inn while not getting caught by the guards.
When he entered through the dinning hall's window , his eyes met Lief's.
But Lief didn't care and went to his room after taking some food .
The festival which is will change the fate of the heroes is going to be held in two days .
