Countess Brown- Part 1

Sidd after walking for a couple of streets, and passing through a secret passages enters the dark guild which is situated below the adventurers guild.

Sidd noticed, he was a bit early and noticed many guild members not present and the arrived few ones were exploring the new quests.

Sidd saw an unusual quest, which stated that

-'Pleasing the widowed Countess' which had a huge reward worth 50 Silver coins.

Sidd saw this as an golden opportunity to get close to the powerhouses ruling the district.

He observed many solo adventures checking the quest and feigning ignorance, which aroused his curiosity.

He went to one of the adventurer who was drinking at the corner and offered him a drink.

The adventure was happy and accepted Sidd's goodwill but he knew, he was approached with some intentions as the dark guild members only work solo. So he asked in a questioning tone: "My friend, do you need something and thanks for the drink".

Sidd said: "Ohh good, you are quick on the uptake, I need to know about the Countess quest, and why it is being ignored".

The adventure made a frown on the mention of the Countess and started taking to Sidd.

: "My friend, have you not heard of the difficult personality of the Countess, she is a bit unpredictable and loses interest in things very easily while she is very passionate about music".

'The adventure took a drink while speaking and continued speaking'

" The rewards may be high, but it has a equivalent risk or much higher risk as the previous quest takers who took it, were ruthlessly killed or disabled for not living upto her expectations"

"Her name is Scarlett Brown although she does not have any abilities, she is well versed with politics and is favoured by the royal family and she also has a daughter who is the only S-class magician in the city".

In the mention of the S-class magician, Sidd remembered a girl following him who had detected his disguise but did not reveal it and sloppyly followed him until he escaped using his spells while moving to the church for the details of the killing quest he received.

"Can you tell me her name, the Countess's daughter" asked Sidd.

The adventurer replied- "It's Sasha Brown, do you not know my friend, she is very famous".

Sidd replied-"I am kind of new in these parts, so I do not have much knowledge about the people".

Sidd had seen her alluring body, which would leave any man insane, he did not doubt his capabilities of taming her, he had a thought pop up in his mind- 'If the daughter is so alluring, how will the mother be, she will be more mature and beautiful than her daughter'.

While thinking these thoughts, Sidd noticed that he had an erection and controlled himself of his thoughts of having a oyakodon.

Sidd offered the adventurer another drink and left to take the Countess's quest, while taking it he noticed many adventurers were seeing him in a shocked expression.

Their faces were literally telling- 'Why the fuck are you taking that quest'

Sidd quickly took the quest and went to meet Tom who was busy doing paperwork.

Tom noticed Sidd with his covered face and said in authoritative tone: "So have you taken the next quest".

Sidd did not mind his tone and gave the Countess's quest to Tom.

Tom took his quest and checked it only to make a frown, he asked Sidd in a questioning way- "Do you seriously want to take this quest, don't take this quest, you have a good future ahead of you".

Tom was seriously concerned as Sidd was a promising solo adventurer who also had church's favour and always completed his quest's regardless of the difficulty, Tom did not want Sidd to die a useless death just because he could not please the Countess.

Sidd replied: " Don't worry, Sir I am confident on my capabilities and very well accomplish this quest that no one could complete".

Tom saw Sidd's confidence, and thought there is no way convincing him of taking back the quest and said-"Very well, I will inform the Countess about your acceptance to take the quest. A carriage will pick you up in the designated location and in case you fail the quest, the guild will not take any responsibilities as opposing the Countess will have heavy repurcuasions.

Sidd affirmed everything and sat in one of tables and ordered a drink.

Sidd thought to himself about the information gathered about the Countess and started thinking about her personality-' She is a free, unpredictable and carefree woman in her territory while she does not cross her limits in other's people territory, she had the ideal personality to rule a vassal city of the kingdom and was favoured by the royal family as she did not bare her fangs against them'.

Sidd remembered a saying from his native language while thinking about the Countess personality, it was stated as-' A tiger in the house while a rat outside the house'.

This saying contradicted the change of personality for many people, some people showed their agressive personality in their houses as they feel safe while they will have a complete change in personality outside their houses appearing similar to a pushover.

Sidd thought it applied to the Countess and was waiting for the carriage, when Tom appeared and quickly informed him about the arrival of the carriage while giving him a set of instructions to follow, Sidd listened carefully and immediately left the guild through one of the secret passages and appeared in front of the carriages, he noticed a luxurious carriage made of gold and saw an old man wearing a black suit riding it, seeing him Sidd took out his I.D and showed it to him.

The old man took a careful look and started talking:"So you are Mister Sidd, Hmm you appear mysterious with all of the coverings and clothes you are wearing".

Sidd replied: "Old man, call me Sidd no need for the mister part and can I climb the carriage, you must not want to make the Countess wait".

The old man replied: " Don't call me a old man young one, I am the personal butler of Countess Brown, Hansel".

Sidd heard it and climbed the carriage appearing uninterested about the butler, when he opened the carriage and entered, he saw a beautiful elf girl with medium bust and good curves sitting inside while wearing a slave collar, Sidd upon seeing it immeadiatly understood that she was sent to please him.

The butler, seeing Sidd's smile thought to himself-' Enjoy yourself one last time young man, the Countess is beyond your capabilities as countless arrogant ones come and fail, only to lose their life or get disabled, your's fate will be no different'.

Hansel said to Sidd as he climbed onto the carriage: "Young man, it will be long ride, so enjoy yourself".

And he started riding the carriage towards the mansion of Countess Brown.

In one of the room's of the mansion, the Countess had a bored look on her face and thought about the quest which was not taken for a couple of years, which was reissued recently and was taken, as it was informed to her by Tom. She thought to herself: " Hope the quest taker entertains this lonely widowed maidan".
