A beautiful side character

-

with this thought in mind the beautiful man who sat in his carriage ordered his servants to get that odd man.

The odd man who was indeed shaking with fear and regret was none other than the begger, after identifying these men to be the ones that beat up that girl he felt he would be next so he thought of running away when suddenly two strong servants came behind him and softly told him to follow them though they said it and it sounded nice their expression said otherwise

only then he knew that he had no choice so he followed and entered the carriage only to meet a man whom he thought must be a woman

The beautiful man didn't like the look he received and went straight to the point while he also offered some food and drinks and also a sack of money by the side to entice the begger.

Once the begger saw this he didn't think of hiding anything and quickly began eating the food

"I presume you know why I fetched you here?"

"Hmmm hmmm this food is really nice honestly in my life I didn't think I'd get to eat something this good"

The begger felt like if he would die at least he was lucky to eat such sweet and delicious food so he didn't mind taking his time to answer

The servants and guards couldn't help but frown when this man was going overboard but their master didn't stop him and instead turned to the man that sat beside him and gave him a node with that the man began to Sketch on his note pad

"So tell me what you saw and you can have another plate of this delicious food"

The begger didn't waste time and spoke up

"Actually I didn't see anything" he began

The beautiful man frowned and was about to kick him out when the begger spoke up again

"But I know the bodies of the men that died were actually the store owners who the soldiers are searching for now as a suspect"

The beautiful man raised his perfectly curved brow up in surprise, actually he knew something wasn't right because the body parts that were found according to his servants who paid a soldier to get information mentioned that the parts didn't look as though they were caught with knives instead it looked as if they had been eaten and spit out and four disappearing all at once with their shops completely cleared made it had to believe that those men were the prime suspect

"How do you it's the traders that are there?"

"Actually I don't" the begger spoke up again after stuffing his face with so much food

This time the beautiful man was angered 'this begger was playing him for a fool'

But he calmed down and asked

"So what made you assume that the parts found belonged to those men"

This time he planned that if the begger said nonsense again he would strangle him to death but his next words surprised him and indeed he wanted to kill him not for saying nonsense but being a witness and didn't help out

"Those men had it coming" the begger ate some more drank some wine and continued

"I saw them beat up a child claiming she stole from them but actually the child is under the care of one of the men so I guess she must have taken something from her boss and was caught, anyway my point is that after she was beaten and left for dead she survived and now this morning all four of them died"

"So why didn't you help the child and let me guess that was why you were afraid that who ever had saved the child by killing those men the person would come back for you?"

The begger looked at the beautiful man in shock but when the man saw the begger like this he thought he had guessed right and was about to tell his men to get the begger out of his sight since he had gotten some information but the begger quickly spoke up and this time there was fear in his eyes as he stopped eating

"Help.....you.....say? That child didn't need help if you ask me, because after does men left about an hour later she sat up as though she was possessed with something and disappeared right in front of my very eyes.... I'm telling you she has no helper it's her who killed the four men"

The begger said and continued trembling suddenly it had goose's bumps if he didn't know the girl he would have thought that she was a ghost but he knew her very well

The beautiful man was surprised at his words and wanted to believe the man was talking nonsense again but his actions said otherwise, he even stopped eating and rubbed his two palm on his arm as though he were cold.

Realising that there was more to this he looked at the man beside him and turned back to the begger

"Alright let's say I believe you then how about you give me even the slightest bit of description of the child you saw"

"Sure sure I'll give you there's no way I can forget how she looks like, she has a dark skin, dried full lips, large grey coloured eyes with full lashes and full eyebrows, long dirty brown curly hair, small nose and a shallow face, both side of her jaws are sunken in"

the begger mentioned accurately and the artist beside the beautiful man drew everything complete but the beautiful man was not happy with the perfect description so he shared his thoughts

"If what you say is indeed true then your fear shouldn't be that you didn't save the child but because you absued her"

The begger shrinked when he heard those words because that was actually his fear

When the beautiful man saw his reaction he felt anger within him and chased the man out of his carriage then he turned to the man beside him who happens to be an artist and looked at the image drawn

The girl who was drawn according to the description of the begger looked quiet pitiful, he could only sigh and motion his servants to go ahead away from the crowd this was because he decided to investigate privately.
