Aaaand here we go!
Little by little, word after word, at last my Chronicles had reached page n. 100! YAYYYYYY!
Meanwhile I'm working to complete it, I'll give you a little taste of the content of tha page! Wish you all a happy reading!
““Good morning to you, Karina! And please….don’t be so formal, I’m not one of your superiors!” I tell her, trying to create a most pleasant atmosphere between us “And call me just Lady, as everyone do!”
Despite my words, the girl didn’t appears interested in changing her approach to me. She’s looking straight at me, manteining a certain distance and patiently waiting for something, as if she’s waiting for some orders or something similar. Looking at her not so friendly attitude, I take a deep breath, then I speak to her.
“I think we have to start our investigation examining the reports of the last days….did you think is it possible!?”
“Of course, Milady! But we must go the main barrack to read them!” she replies, till staring a t me.
“Very well! Then, let’s move out!”
During the short way which separate the Almaan’s Mansion from the main barrack of the City’s Guards, Karina didn’t spill a word, a clear sign of how difficult this collaboration between us is going to be. Judging by the first impression she gave to me and on the way she’s acting right now, I can presume she’s even more suspicious about me than how Mardukas was till the first moment I arrived in Libidinis. And once we are inside the barrack, Karina appears even more formal than when we were walking along the street, especially we she talks with other members of the Guards or just when we some of cross them in the corridors.
Anyway, after two hours passed reading the impressive amount of reports written in the last four days, weren’t able to collect some interesting informations which can give us a starting point, with the exception of fact that the Guards had found a rope with a hook outside the arena which was probably used by the assassin to escape from there. So, at last, we both agree to ask if we can examinate it, in hope to find some traces on it which can help us in moving a first step forward in our difficult and long research.
But again, even this object didn’t offer any concrete clue to us, except a feeble scent I can sense from it. But that scent isn’s enough strong to let me recognize it, so we are again at the starting point, exactly as we were just before coming to the barrack. Not being able to discover any trace which can give us a direction to follow, even if it can be small, is frustrating and it’s starting to discourage us little but. Of course, we are far away to be readyo to give up in our task. Anyway, we take the decision to have a break and have some lunch, just to going back to our work after it with a recharged spirit. And which place is better than a tavern to enjoy a nice meal!? And we both know the right place where we can go to have a little break.
Once we step in the “Silver Horn”, I immediately notice Colette looking at me from the opposite side of the room. As usual, the tavern is full of men who didn’t want to lose any chance to enter in Colette’s graces, but when they all notice us, the place suddenly become quiet: maybe it was me or because of Karina, but the three men which were talking to Colette at one of the tables, immediately change the subject of their conversation, probably to avoid any possible trouble with a member of the City’s Guards.
Colette, which was now looking particularly happy to have both of us here in her tavern, leads us to a more isolated table, were we can eat without being disturbed by the other costumers. Then, she disappear in the kitchen, leaving us alone, but not before she brings to us a jar of fresh water and a smallest one with some red wine.”
Hope I can complete it soon!
