royal rumble(2)

Nick spent the next week holed up in his room doing his utmost to avoid any member of the royal family whom may have shown up at the inn. the interesting thing is that there were in fact two royals who had shown up in this time. a man with light blonde hair and green eyes who was darkened by the sun and covered in scars as well as a girl who seemed to be part of nicks age group with similar features as the man minus the scars on the face. the two were not arrogant like nick thought royals would be , instead they were polite to the inn keeper when they talked with him. unfortunately for nick the inn keeper was a gossip and as a result talked about how nick reacted when he learned about the upcoming celebration. "hmmm , this individual seems to have problem with us royals. shall we pay him a visit?" the man asked with a cheshire grin. "ugh , could you not try to cause problems for once father , the rest of the family already distances itself from you as it is." the girl said with a scolding look at the man.

"Hahahaha!" the man laughed boisterously. "you know me so well daughter , how would you like to handle this matter then?" the man asked still smiling. "i would like to meet this person first in order to try and get a good feel for their personality before we pick a fight." the girl said after some thought. the man shrugs "my way is faster but we'll play it your way for now." the man said casually before taking out some wine from his storage ring and gulping down a mouthful. nick sent out his divine sense two days after the royal pair arrived and immediately recoiled on contact with the pair at which point he retracted his senses and fortified his room to the point it closely resembled a nobles safe room rather than an inn room. the pair were speechless when they went up to nicks room to try meeting him as they watched a frankly ridiculous amount of inscriptions light up at their presence. the man frowned at the inscriptions with a stern expression. "so that's the reason for his aversion." the man said with a stern expression. the girl looked confused at her father not understanding what he was talking about.

The man saw his daughters confusion and explained about the treatment that foreigners are subjected to including the suppressing feature of the passes handed out to them.
