Goddamnit! he was really playing us!

We ask for information or goods, such tools to help the process of searching for royal valuables, and what he gave was a royal slave?! Still kids again!

He really wanted to destroy us indirectly.

He gave us slaves to help with the search which meant we had to take care of them. Take care of her food, take care of her happiness, and take care of her needs. Which is where it all takes money. The young man aims to spend all our money and force us to work in another job to survive or give up.

Inevitably, Noland and I received the slave he had given.

Right now Noland and I were walking home to the inn in the middle of the downtown crowd.

Noland held the little boy's hand, he was always trying to communicate with the boy, but unfortunately the boy did not respond at all, did not even glance back at him, he said, the boy walked with his gaze always bowed down. Nothing interesting down there.

The clothes of the child are very visible in contrast to our current clothes, so that at one glance you will be very clear about the status of each individual.

Although it can be distinguished by a glance, in fact the people around look at us as if this condition is normal everyday. In this era, slavery was very common.

So what am I gonna do with that kid? Did I just rent it? Eit, is that too cruel?! So what's...?

Sometimes I look at the bare feet of the little boy. A small leg that keeps working hard even though his eyes have no hope. On a rocky road like this, isn't he in pain?

But moments later, his legs were a bit unsteady, causing his body to be somewhat unbalanced. It's starting to worry.

I approached Noland and whispered something.

"Hey, Nolanda. Why don't you just carry the kid? It's strange to let it be so" I whispered.

"What can? Will he not be angry? He didn't show his nature, so I hesitated" Noland replied.

"Just do it" I urged.

"Our one, I tried."

Accepting my request, Noland moved to the edge of the street to stop and kneel down, with his body facing right at the child so that the child would not be startled. The child in front of him who had been silently looking down, slowly raised his gaze to look at Noland who was behaving strangely. The next moment, Noland grabbed the child in front of him, lifted him up carefully, and gave his right arm as a pedestal. The child's body was firmly aligned and facing Noland's body, Noland used his left hand to lightly press the child's body into his chest like a seatbelt. It reminds me of holding a cat.

I entrust it to Noland, he has more experience in carrying. In the Alps, she often carried her little sister in her arms. Maybe he remembered that now too.

After feeling comfortable, we continued on our way back to the inn with the little boy who had still not said a word.

If I choose to search for the missing object with the child, at least he should be able to communicate well.

...----------------...

Arriving in front of the inn, I shifted a little bit the door that was slightly closed due to the wind and stuffed it with something around.

No new customers today?

Realizing our whereabouts, someone came up with a slight run from inside there. A person with a small body yet a very striking aura emanated from his body which made my body suddenly feel a little warm. Who else if not Milin.

Seeing Milin heading towards us, we went deeper into the inn. Seeming to follow, Grandma also slowly came from a different place with Milin's position initially.

"Welcome back gentlemen!" sweep it with energy.

Why is he always excited? Is it because we are the only customers in this inn?

"Yo, we're back in Milin" I replied in slang.

"Yes, Lord Arthur, and Lord No?"

Milin's words came to a halt as he looked towards Noland behind me. It was certain that he would be surprised to see a new scene from Noland.

"Hello Milin, I'm back too" said Noland as he slowly lowered the boy who was the center of attention in an instant to the floor of the inn.

Being the center of attention, the child seems a little depressed from not getting used to getting some attention all of a sudden.

Milin still opened his mouth in utter shock. Inside his face were many question marks.

His grandmother had arrived beside him.

Noland also seems unable to explain, he did not enjoy the truth that happened.

So right now, I'm gonna do it.

"We also brought a child who seemed lost on the road when we returned from the kingdom, he did not dare to speak, as a result he was ignored by the people around him. Seeing her helpless condition, Noland and I decided to help her find her parents or people she knew, but to no avail. So, for a while we wanted this child to stay for a while in this inn," I explained with a lie.

What can be done, this is all for the mental sake of a young Milin. I did not want her to become resentful of the kingdom because of this, and stopped her dream of following her role model royal princess.

In order not to lie completely, I changed all the stories that happened and the reason I lied into my eyes, and then I looked at Grandma next to Milin, I sent her to him.

Grandma looked back at me, receiving the information I sent her.

"Gee... It's a pity" said Milin mercifully approaching the child in question and holding both hands of the child.

Nice Milin! If it continued to be so, the child would definitely begin to be able to dare to speak.

"Come with him Milin" I said with a slight smile.

I hand him over to you, my cue to Milin.

Milin smiled back, signaling it was ready.

"Wouldn't that be good Milin, you have a friend who is your age" said Grandma helping to strengthen my speech.

"Yes, I really want a friend," Milin replied as she continued to hold the child's hands in front of her gently.

"What if you help her bathe Milin? he must be cleaned immediately so as not to hurt," continued Grandma.

"Yes! I want! I'll do it!"

Afterwards, Milin pulled the child he was holding onto the bathhouse to bathe him. The boy who did not know what to do, resigned to follow Milin who pulled him.

"Grandmother will follow. Lend me your clothes for the kid, will you?" my grandmother asked permission.

"okay!" milin answered from inside the bath.

Now in front of us there was only one grandmother left.

"Sorry to trouble Nek," I apologized.

Grandma looked at me with her sincere gaze.

"Jease, I understand. Sometimes the kingdom can be so, "grandmother replied.

"Thank you, Grandma" said Noland beside me.

Grandma nodded and started walking towards her room and Milin to pick up some clothes for the boy.

A few steps, Grandma turned her gaze, she looked towards us.

"Oh yeah, you guys get ready, we'll have dinner together."
