Really Fucking Hate Politics

"Sir Silva!" Laurenz had yelled as he practically ran up to me after I walked away from the two irritating royals.

I gave the overexcited adventurer a tired smile as I got closer to his little group. The other two adventurers were busy talking to the mages from the tower that were going to send us to the Monster Realm.

That left Laurenz, two adventurers I didn't know and Miss Amelia who hadn't stopped staring at me since I'd arrived.

"I told you I knew him," Laurenz said to one of the two unknown adventurers, practically puffing up his chest proudly like a preening parrot.

"Ya talking bout me to other people too, kid?" I teased as I ruffled the boy's shirt red hair, unable to not find the kid adorable even though I was practically shaking from how pissed off I was beginning to get.

They were taking way too fucking long. I had half the mind to tell the mages to open it up and just let me in.
