The Hero,The Kingdom and The Reaper

Our journey was about to end as we made our way to the last name on the list.

We rested in the castles. It has already been 5 days since we have begin. I trained when I got the time and I was you can say really popular.

' Nor Selos '. The handler of Skyster Family's land in a town named ' Siros '.

' Siros ' a town which was situated at the border of the kingdom of Rikos. It was also the closest to the Kingdom of Elves.

There is a big forest between these two boundaries.

...

As the carriage made it's way. Many gasps were heard outside as it passed.

" The rumours were true ". One of the man standing said as he saw the carriage passing.

" Hmm. They really were. The Young Lord of Skyster family is cleaning it's business and estates ". Another man standing beside him said.

" I heard he is ruthless ". The first man said.

" I heard that too. He warned everyone that are removed from their position that ' they will be killed if seen again' ". Other man answered

A cold shiver ran through their spine as they thought about that.

...

In the carriage.

" Buttler, it's the last one. Isn't it ?" I asked as I looked at the approaching castle.

" Indeed, it is. Young lord ". The buttler answered.

" Let's get it done with. Suzine must be waiting ". I spoke as a beautiful woman came in my mind.

The Buttler just bowed and after some time the carriage came to an halt.

As I left from the carriage. My eyes fell on two figures standing infront of the castle. A fat mid-age man with a teenage boy who was also fat.

" Y-young Lord, Please come ". The mid-aged man named 'Nor Selos' spoke as both of them bowed.

I just nodded as they took us to the main room. I noticed something off about them. And even the maids acted strange.

I spoke as I took the chair behind the desk.

" I think you know why I came here. Do you have anything to say for you ?"

Nor's body shudderd. " N-no y-young lord. We made some mistakes but we are ready to pay for them but can you please give us some time before leaving ".

I studied them for a moment and then the two maid standing besides them. The moment my eyes met them they diverted other way.

" Buttler ". I just spoke and the moment.

' THUD!'. Both Nor and the boy who could be his son were on their knees.

I spoke as I looked at the maids. " Speak. They wouldn't do anything".

Both maids exchanged glances as they spoke after a moment.

" Y-young Lord, P-please save my little brother ". One of the maid spoke as she started crying.

" Young lord, they took her brother from her and made her do many things. They even blackmailed me and..an " The other maid spoke as she held other maid.

My rage increasing the more I heard. Both of the father and son trembled as they saw the maid speak.

" Y-young Lord! They ar- ". Nor tried to speak but couldn't complete as I raised my finger.

And in an instant the pressure surrounding them increased and they fell on the floor.

I stood and walked towards the maids and spoke in a cold voice. " Buttler, Ask them for her brother and after they are done. You know what to do.".

The Buttler simply bowed and started walking towards the father and son.

" Let's go. Your brother will be home till evening ". I spoke as I took the maids out of the room.

As we made our way in the corridor. We only heard screams coming form that room. One of them suddenly stoped.

" Young Lord, That woman! You have to save her too ". The maid who was crying spoke.

As if remembering something the other maid spoke. " Yeah! They have locked her in the basket ".

" Who are you talking about and where is the basement ". I asked I was little confused. Suddenly a chime rang in my head.

And a blue screen appeared in front of me.

...

[ Ding ]

[ New quest - SAVE THE PRINCESS! ]

[ Rewards] - 15,000 S.P.

[ Time left - 25:59 ]

...

Princess? Who is this princess. Or atleast tell me where is she ? How am I supposed to save her ?

I asked many questions as I saw the timer on the quest.

" Host, You have to find her yourself". The system answered.

Before I could ask more a voice pulled me back to my senses.

" Young lord? Are you okay ?" Both of the maids asked as they looked at me worriedly.

" I-i am okay,Tell me. Where is the basement ?"

" This way young lord". The maids spoke as they took me in the castle's inner area.

As I followed them and theirs steps halted. I found myself infront of a wooden door. It's surrounding walls looked old.

" It's here, Young Lord". The maid spoke as she saw the door.

" Okay, You two go and rest ". I spoke as I opened the door with a ' Creak' and entered.

Both of them nodded as they made their way back .

...

Inside the basement.

I walked the stairs and saw the surroundings which looked old. A stench filled the air as I reached the bottom.

Whole area was litted with fire torchs. At both sides, there were rooms with iron bar. You can say 'Prisons'. Some even had bone.

My steps halted infront of a prison as my eyes catches a girl with hand and legs chained.

" She looks totally fragile ". I spoke as I enter the prison.

Her hairs were green, white skin, age around 18 and her whole body was covered with wounds.

I checked her breathing as I released her from the chains with my fire. " She wouldn't survive long. I have to hurry ".

I lifter her and took in my arms. And ran outwards the basement.

...

Outside the basement.

" Hm ? Where is young Lord ?" The Buttler spoke as he sees the maids sitting.

" Young lord went to save the woman they held in the basement ". One of the maid answered.

" L-lord Jones, M-my brother. Where is he ?" The other made asked her eyes filled tears as she mentioned her brother.

" Don't worry, I have already sent someone to bring him back ". The buttler spoke as he assured her. " First I have to find youn- ".

Before he could speak a voice mixed with worry and hurry ran in the hall. " Buttler !"

The Buttler moves around and saws his young lord running towards him with a worried face and a woman in her arms.

" Buttler, Do you have any healing potion ?" I asked as puts the woman on the couch.

" Yes, young lord ". The Buttler spoke as he puts his hand in his jacket.

" Give me the most expensive one ".

" Here, Young Lord ". He speaks as he hands over a little bottle of silver colour.

( Don't go on simple looks. This single bottle costs 1 Platinum coin )

I took the bottle and putted it in her mouth but instead of drinking. It all came out.

" Buttler ". I spoke and he hands over me another one.

" Here goes". I speak as I drinks the potion myself.

Then with both hands. I held her face and touched my lips to hers and pushed the potion in her mouth with my tongue.

GULP! GULP! GULP!. And she finally drinks the potion.

Well, her lips were too soft. No! This is not the time to think these things.

And in an instant. Her wounds started healing, the marks of beating on her body gone and her hairs got a little more dark green.

Seeing me still worried. The buttler spoke. " Young lord, the potion is working. Don't worry".

" Hm." I nodded as I sat on the couch beside her.
