Idle talk

One could see a bunch of stalls and caravans in a shady part of town. That particular spot is where Charles' merchant group was set up they typically catered to corrupt nobles and sometimes very high standing officials and even princes.

The leader of this particular group sold banned drugs and harmful potions they even hired convicted alchemists. They were deeply rooted in this kingdom and could not be brought down without bringing down their customers.

And on this particular day there was a skinny man drinking away his sorrows in a close by bar. That man was actually bale he was just back from a meeting with his boss and was very troubled. He was busy talking to another guy sitting next to him.

"Boss was actually more in a hurry today right bale" said the guy.

"I thought I would die his smile was particularly chilling how is he even called the dumb prince, boss is even more intimidating than the king hahaha" bale said with a stiff smile. Seriously he thought the royal family was very stupid or they all hit their heads somewhere because the prince was anything but dumb the first time he looked into his eyes he saw burning ambition. The first time he asked him of his goal he smiled with a nostalgic smile.

'What do I want' the prince asked back 'I want everything I want the entire world not this small country'. He still remembered the aura he was emitting when he said that just like king that had ruled for many years. That time he believed if he followed him he would profit a lot given it took torture to persuade him.
