All of the food was very good, in fact, it had been the best thing I had ever eaten but it did not last long as it was now time for me and Shar's dad to have a serious conversation.
Unlike last time I was guided to his personal study where a large desk with a very extravagant chair sat. We both took our places, him in the chair behind and I in one of the two chairs that lay in front.
"So what is it you'd like to talk about" he asked.
"What is the current situation on Sharla's other father."
"So she told you about him?"
"Yes" I said simply.
"I see" he paused for a bit before continuing, "what would you like to know?"
"Where he is, what his living conditions are, his status, his influence, everything!"
"Hmm~, well let's start off with some simple stuff shall we? His current age is 47, he's now overweight, excuse my French but his personality all in all is shit. Let's move on to some more complex things, he is now a marquess, he lives in the noble district a little ways away from here, he lives a life of luxury, he buys and sells women like paper, he abuses his staff at every chance he gets. He has some sort of influence in every part of one way or another. His power is third to only me and the king. Even then the king is a bit too good natured and is slowly losing it too the man."
He paused so as to let me consume all of the information he fed me. 'This will be quite troublesome but seeing as I haven't really found anyone too strong within the city, still though I might meet some resistance' I thought to myself.
Then came another one of my brilliant ideas.
'Seeing as we're probably going to be staying here at least a couple weeks I could sneak in there and I'm sure quite a few people would be more than glad to help' I could feel a smile spread across my face as I schemed.
"May I inquire as to what you'll be using this information for?"
"Why of course it's to get rid of scum!"
...
Our conversation went on for a while longer before it was time to get some sleep.
"What were you talking about" came Sharla's voice.
"N-nothing, now let's go get some sleep!"
...
Thankfully it seemed that Shar didn't have any nightmares and got some relatively good sleep.
"Uuu~, I cant let anyone know of such a powerful weapon" I say as I hide Shar's face within my chest.
Soon after she groggily opened her eyes and cutely looked up to me.
"Good morning my sweet little rabbit~."
She lay there for a second before bringing her face to mine giving me a small peck on the lips.
"Oh~, look who's feeling brave~."
"Good morning to you to" she said while tightening her grip on me.
"Well I would love to spend the rest of the day snuggling together but I have something to do."
"Hmm?"
"Oh don't worry you're in for a big surprise" I said enthusiastically before continuing, "how about we grab some breakfast and while I go do my stuff you can do some bonding with your parents, ok?"
She looked at me questioningly but just responded with an 'ok'.
Breakfast was good with plenty to eat while Sharla recounted the "great wolf attack" where her knight(me) fought "thousands of wolves" to protect the princess(her).
Many things were exaggerated and it was quite inaccurate but it was fun all the same.
...
The air around me changed greatly as I headed towards the barracks that housed the guards. Last night I had Shar's father gather up some weapons that could easily be concealed.
Instead of heading inside I went to the back of the building where a small crate lay. Inside lay a short sword, two daggers, some knives and a cloak. I took everything thing out of the crate before placing the weapons I looted off the slave traders goons and equipped everything else.
I slung the clock over my head after I sheathed they short sword and quickly scaled the five meter tall fence and headed to the nearest alley I saw.
When finally within the confines of the alley I scaled the wall and climbed up onto the roof. Off in the distance I spotted a large ornate mansion with many complex patterns engraved into the front of it.
"It is finally time to dispose of the trash."
At that I rush towards the mansion, jumping from roof to roof. I slow my pace as I reach the building closest to the fence that encircled the mansion.
...
Many hours had passed since then and I had been scouting the place, checking every nook and cranny. From what I could see security was extremely tight. It didn't completely surprise me as Sharla's father had told me that he had taken many bribes and bribed many himself which in turn made him quite a few enemies over the years.
I could physically feel the cogs in my head move as I concocted my master plan
Note: So yeah that happened. Oh I got my new glasses today! Yay I can see things far away! Also does anyone else think the words nearsighted and farsighted are weird. Like they make sense of you think about it but I just have the hardest time with them. I don't know what it is but they are just(mind having a meltdown trying to describe my pain.)
Anyways thanks for reading my train wreck of a story!
