An expected meeting.

During these four days we have traveled without problems. I guess we are a

few hours from reaching our destination. Relin told me that when we cross a count

we will be 20 minutes from our destination. It seems very strange to me not to see any

bandits waiting to attack, but I guess it's my complex about not trusting.

From a distance he saw the bridge that is being covered by a cart that is

wheel missing, if I'm honest it seems strange but I'll get out and see what I can do to help.

"Excuse me, do you need help?" He gets out of the cart.

"If you could give us a hand."

He nods, but something about him looks wrong. I use air magic to

scan the area, as if it were the radar of a submarine. Quickly I sense

people moving around there, carefully I went back to the mask

little by little without arousing suspicion and when I was close to her I said to her "hey

could you close your eyes a little"

She quickly said yes and without hesitation closed her eyes at that point I knew I would have to

take action.

"So what do you need, money, food or clothes for my daughter?"

"My, my, you're a funny one. The thing is, we want everything, including your daughter.

Haha."

"I hope I heard you right. Repeat what you said."

"I said we're going to take your daughter and play with her, haha."

I couldn't bear what he said, and when it comes to my family and the people I love,

people I love I lose control, I took out my sword which I had bought

before and which I had named dragon slayer, I ran quickly

aiming at their necks I was running like the wind all I could hear was

blood falling from their necks one by one they fell, each head was a smile

for me when I put it back in its scabbard I just looked at the heads on the ground I moved the

cart that was in the way and we continued on after crossing the bridge I told

Relin to take his hands away from his eyes, after he did so I looked at his

beautiful smile and his beautiful eyes looking at me.

Relin was wearing a yellow dress with red details and her princess tiara

so that by the time we got to her village she would be the prettiest girl of all.

After about 20 minutes we arrived at Relin's village, which is called Calmiller.

It's a rather peculiar and extravagant name. It was a good-sized village of about 30 houses and 4 shops. There was only one road in. Relin's house was the furthest away.

In the village you could almost see the forest in the backyard. Apparently all the

inhabitants were semi-human. It didn't seem strange to me, I guess that's why they

enslaved them. When we got to Relin's house, I felt something strange, as if they were

watching us.

I stopped the cart and lifted Relin onto my shoulders. I took small steps to get a sense of the

size of the house. It seemed to have two floors, a fairly large house but

time something small, when I reached the door and tried to knock I felt a presence of

blood coming up behind me I drew my sword and defended myself it was a girl

who had a sword that was a bit old and well used I could have blocked all her attacks,

but I was worried about Relin I had him on my shoulders and I didn't want him to be

hurt by accident. All I said to Relin was, "Daughter, close your eyes. I'll have

to finish her off." Relin only said one thing to me, "Wait, Dad, she's my sister."

At that moment I stopped my sword and it was enough for me to give her a small blow

on the forehead trying to stop her.

"Wait, you're Relin's sister."

"Yes, it's me, and because you have my sister on your shoulders, you must be one of those

slavers"

"No, sister, he's my dad"

"What do you mean, your dad, little sister?"

"Yes, he saved me and brought me here, so he's my dad"

Trying to suggest something, I said, "Excuse me, we could discuss this inside. I have

to take down the things we brought with us"

"If it's okay, come in."

I brought down all the food we had and all of Relin's clothes, which was too much.

Relin's sister's sword was on my back when I brought everything down.

I went into the house and sat down on a sofa, Relin sat on my lap eating

cookies and his sister sat opposite me with a somewhat annoyed face.

"Well, let me introduce myself, my name is Arlestin Domeso and I am a former slave and an

adventurer."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Bibian, a former adventurer."

"Nice to meet you, Bibian. I'll tell you everything that happened and how I met Relin."

That's how I told her everything that happened to Relin and me and how we became father and

daughter bibian's face each time took on the shape of happiness and relief.

"So that explains everything that happened, thank you for looking after my sister"

"I'm the one who should thank you for having such a great sister who is

very brave despite her age"

"So what are you going to do now, Arlestin?"

"For the moment, stay for a few days and think things over"

"Then you could stay the night here, we have some spare rooms"

"Really, thank you, I really appreciate it, Bibian"

"You're welcome"

"Then come in and I'll put away all of Relin's clothes"

"How many clothes are we talking about?"

"At least 100 items, I can't remember the exact number, haha"

"Are you a millionaire or something?"

"The truth is that yes, I do have a gift for myself that I know isn't much but I

liked this sword for myself"

At that moment I handed him the sword that we had bought on the way here

and when he saw it his eyes seemed amazed, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Are you sure it cost a lot of money?"

"Three thousand gold coins is a lot of money and I also have a box outside with five

thousand gold coins for you and for Relin in case something happens"

"Wait, wait, you're crazy, that's a lot of money, you could buy a house with that"

"Don't worry, I still have 14 million of those coins"

Bibian's eyes and her own were wide with surprise. I don't know how much a

house here but it seems like it was true.

"Hey, wait, what are you telling me? Where did you get all that?"

"For the moment I can't tell you. You'll have to wait until tonight. In the

meantime, thanks for the chat."

"You're welcome, but why are you thanking me for a chat?"

"Like I said, I was a slave who didn't talk to anyone, and having a chat with

a person is the best treasure"

After our talk and that relin will fall asleep I take her to her room

and bibian starts cooking you can tell she is a great cook, and very good

with the sword I will have to be careful with her she is dangerous haha.

I will stay here for a few days after that I will go to a city in the imoerium,

I have to gain recognition and respect, to be able to get closer to the

heroes and learn everything about them so I can attack them one by one and

without involving anyone innocent, I still don't know what their strength is but it must be

abysmal for them to call themselves heroes. In a month at the latest I will have to leave.

Here I will have to talk to Bibian about all this and I will have to leave a good place

so that they can live well.

After a few hours and Bibian finishing dinner, we sat down to eat.

The food was very good; without exaggeration, it was the best food I have ever eaten in my

life. After dinner, when Relin fell asleep, I went out to feed the

horses.

As I was feeding the horses, I felt someone behind me. It was easy to

to identify who it was bibian was coming towards me.

"And after that you will do"

"I will leave here in a month"

"Are you sure about that what about relin she is very attached to you"

"Don't worry about that I will leave her enough money for them to live two

lives full of peace of mind"

"And what does it matter money doesn't buy happiness and even less relin I'm sure

that she wouldn't accept any money in exchange for you being with her"

"Believe me, I would love to stay by her side, but the road I have to travel

is full of blood and tears and I don't want her to go through that"

"Okay, I understand. Then I hope this month will be a good one for all three of us"

.

At the end of that sentence, it seemed like she also wanted me to be here, but she didn't

anymore she didn't say anything I guess she is cold herself and I don't blame her I would be

like that too with a human who takes away her family.

During the time I spent in this town I know what peace feels like, it's

been 15 days since the day I arrived and the only thing I've done is

train and spend time with relin, even she wants to learn how to use swords I gave

a dagger I had lying around and taught her the basics. It also serves as

training for me in case I ever face little assassins haha, but not

only Relin, but Bibian also wanted me to train her. I'm going to be honest, she has more

experience with the sword. What I have is agility and strength. I don't have

the experience that I need to learn from Bibian. If Bibian had my speed and

strength, I could be invincible, I would be a great swordsman.

The more time passes, the sooner I will leave here. I still don't know how

Relin will feel. I haven't told her anything. I know she will be sad and she will hate me, but it is

the best thing for her and for Bibian. There are three days left until my departure. I still don't know where to go

but I hope to end up in the right place.

It was almost dusk when suddenly there was a visitor I didn't know

who it was, a servant with enormous magical power, her hair was blond and straight her

face was white with beautiful features, blue eyes like diamonds and

two daggers on her hips what she said when she arrived left me stunned.

"Arlestin Domeso is here"

"Yes, it's me. What is it, miss?"

"I have this letter for you."

When I picked up the letter, I was surprised by its contents. It said:

"Dear Mr. Arlestin Domeso, it is I, Rinva, the dragon of the air, also

known as a duke of one of the cities that is part of the empire. I know

your mission is to defeat the heroes and free us from their tyranny. For that very reason, I am handing over

my properties and all my assistants, Elly is a servant trained to

assassinate, she can be like a great bodyguard or nanny, one of my strategists

her name is Joselín she is always locked up in the mansion devising plans and

in time you will know more please accept this you are the only salvation I

wish you luck.

At that moment I had many questions which possibly had no

answer between going to that city and seeing the house, possibly there he gets the

answers to the question.

"So now I am your owner or boss"

"Indeed my lord now you are my master and I will help you in any way I can,

you can use my body as you wish, it is all yours"

"Wait, don't go so fast, I don't want you in a erotic way at all, but I do want you to

help me for the reason that I am here"

"Ok my lord I will follow your orders to the letter"

"Ok but first let me tell you my lord is a bit old-fashioned and it makes me

nervous"

"understood master I will follow your orders"

"Ok I think we are understanding each other we are going to go to the city in two days and ay

come on let's see what happens understood Elly"

"Understood, master, I know what to do with the people who are in this house"

"They are family, protecting them is a priority, understood, Elly"

"I understand the situation, master"

I went into the house with Elly and explained as much as possible to Bibian. She understood everything.

That's what I like about her. I don't have to go on and on and a single explanation solves

everything.

Now I have to make a decision, I have someone to protect Relin and a house

wherever he is, but that is not my decision but Bibian's, she is his sister,

I will have to ask her and see if she wants to do it or not.

It was already midnight when I was out. I felt something was not right

when Bibian surprised me from behind. She was a little

worried and you could tell she wanted to ask me something.

"What's wrong, Bibian? You seem nervous."

"Nothing, I was just wondering how Relin will feel when he finds out you're going to leave

his side."

"That's what I wanted to ask you about, Bibian, about that particular issue."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Remember what I told you about the house in the city and the maid? I want you

you two come but I don't know how you're going to take it"

"Does that really worry you? It's obvious that we want to go with you. I mean, Relin wants to go

with you, and I want to be with her. The decision is up to you. If you want a girl

who loves you very much and her sister who is very annoying"

"Thank you, Bibian, for choosing this insensitive person. So the day after tomorrow

we're leaving here Elly will be Relin's carer and you will be my sword"

It sounded like she was asking for commitment she just blushed and went inside with

a smile I went inside after a while to lie down and get some rest

After two hours asleep Elly woke me up she had a worried look on her face

.

"What's wrong Elly why did you wake me up"

"This is bad master, carts with armed men are approaching, I feel like

he's coming to kill"

"Keep Relin and Bibian here safe while I go out and see what's going on"

"Understood master"

I grabbed my sword, the Dragon Slayer, put on my black raincoat with red stripes

and set foot outside the house. I walked slowly towards the entrance, feeling

I could feel the presence of the people more and more their thirst for blood gave them away very easily

at the foot of the exit I felt that they were coming from the north side, so the map said, it was

the direction where the capital of the empire was.

I felt that these people were the same guys who took Relin and

other children from the village, a few minutes passed, by the time they reached the

village I had everything ready.

"Good evening, you're looking for someone."

"Who are you, you weakling? Step aside. We've come for those children to sell them

as slaves."

"I'm sorry, but this town is under my protection."

"What's a human being doing protecting semi-humans?"

"Good question, which I don't think you care about. I'm giving you this last warning.

Get out of here and you won't get hurt."

"Don't make me laugh, brat, get out of the way."

That guy lunged at me with his sword trying to hit me, but in a

single movement I used the Escobel His movements were clumsy and you could tell they

weren't very assertive. He launched four more attacks at me, but it was useless. I just waved my sword

like a little kid. To me, he was very slow, or I was very fast.

"If you have no more complaints, I'll have to attack."

Without hesitation, I opened my sword. I only had to move it a little to cut the sword

of the person who was attacking me. They seemed somewhat frightened when

they saw the scene, but without hesitation, they came to attack me. Of the 20 men who attacked me

attacked me only one survived, me I didn't even move they just passed through my sword

to death when I sheathed it they were all already dead, except for one person who

would serve as my informant I grabbed him by the neck and lifted him with my strength and

asked him a few questions.

"Who ordered you to kidnap these people?"

"All I can tell you is that it was the hero who rules one of the four

great houses. Please let me live."

Without thinking, I cut off his head. The only thing I didn't want was for them to know who he was,

so as not to arouse suspicion and ensure that all my plans didn't go to waste.

What are those 4 big houses, from what I can see I still don't know much about this world

and even less about the empire we need to leave here to go to Rinva's house and be able to

get all the information we can and train for the battles of the heroes.

What I need here is Elly to take care of this mess, just

without hesitation Elly suddenly arrived

"I called you master"

"Yes Elly, could you do me a favor and clean up this mess I made"

"As you command, master"

I took off my raincoat and was left in just a black T-shirt as the rest

was covered in blood. Quickly I went to Bibian and Relin to see how they were. I went out

running to see if they were okay and nothing had happened to them during

nobody was with them.

"Bibian, relin was fine," I asked excitedly

"yes we are fine arlestin, relin and I are fine Ati how did it happen to your

raincoat"

"Let's just say I had a little accident, that's all"

"It's good that you're all right, Dad. Elly brought us cookies while you were

out"

"I'm so glad, dear, to see that you had fun. By the way, I have some news to

give you both."

"What's wrong, Arlestin? You worry me."

"Dad, is something wrong?"

"We're going to move out of the house and into a house that Elly gave me because of our

friendship."

"Really, Dad? How happy we'll all be now, able to be together forever."

"Yes, dear, we'll all be able to be together."

"I have to talk to you later, Arlestin."

When I heard that from Bibian, I got nervous. I had the feeling

that she was going to refuse. I waited for Elly to come back from work. I gave it to her.

I feel bad for her. I know she's a servant, but she still has feelings. When

things calmed down and Relin went to sleep with Elly, Bibian and I had a

little chat.

"So you plan to take us all together?"

"Actually I'm a bit selfish for making a decision like that without warning

I'm really sorry"

"Don't worry, that's how you have to act if you want to achieve something, you have to be

selfish and always look ahead now we are in your hands and you must take care of us

"Well, I guess I'll call myself Bibian Domeso now. We're a family now."

"Yeah, I guess it's so they don't suspect us. In the city you're very good

at that. Bibian, you're the best."

"Yeah, of course that's why. I always think about that, haha."

I didn't know it at the time, but it seemed like a flame was lit in that

moment.

After that conversation and a few hours' sleep, the morning came when we were leaving

for our new destination. We were all excited, but it seemed that I was

the only one worried. I hope I get along with everyone in the house, but no matter

what happens, I know we'll be fine.

We took a six-day non-stop trip, a very tiring trip. Bibian always

accompanied me when it was my turn to drive, I noticed that Bibian seemed a bit strange,

 as if she were ashamed of something and you could tell that she always wanted to be by my

side, she probably fell in love with me but I don't understand why something like that would happen,

 it's not as if I did anything to make her fall in love with me, well I did give her a sword, and I kind of

rescued her sister too, but we'll have to give that back when

we get to the city and set the record straight, it's not that I don't like her, she's a

perfect girl but I don't consider myself a good person for her, I'm a bit

crazy in fights and I always have a huge thirst for blood, but this love story

will be for another occasion.
