46 Prologue (1/2)

”Hick!”

”You old fucker…” Helial cursed, as he held up Vidio down the streets of Floralivory City.

He had found that fucker of a master wasted on an inn floor, as a result of yet another waitress' refusal. Now, with his arm coiled around Helial's neck, Vidio was struggling to take a few unsteady steps forward.

He was staggering so bad he would have definitely fallen over if he hadn't been leaning on Helial.

”What the fuck were you even doing?!”

”Hick! Hahahahah!” Vidio burst into laughter, as the expression on Helial's face grew grumpier. His master knew too well how to get on people's nerves; he never gave a shit about anything or anyone!

”Hey boy! Hick! Why did we leave the inn? I wasn't done drinking yet! Hick!”

The moonbeams reflecting on Vidio revealed the traces of drunkenness on his reddened face. His master had clearly hit the bottle.

”Damn old fart. My sister is waiting for me. But I don't spend my free nights with her, and you know why? Because I have to babysit you, asshole! It'll take me forever to go back to the village, you know that?” Helial glanced at Vidio with resentful eyes.

”Hick! And how long will it take you to find a sweet lady, kid? Huh? Come with me, your Master will take you to the best whorehouse in this town! Follow your captain, you pirate!”

What the fuck is he saying.

”Do you even know I'm, like, twelve?”

”So what? Peckers won't work at twelve? Hick!”

Helial looked at Vidio in puzzlement, as he dragged him down the semi-dark lanes of the city.

”How about focusing on something a little more serious than women?”

Vidio looked hurt by his words and dramatically staggered a few steps away from Helial. As soon as he had no stand though, he fell to the ground.

Poff

Vidio slammed on his backside, his eyes glimmering with unusual fierceness.

”And how many things could claim to be more serious than women, kid? How many people sinned, killed and slaughtered in the name of one single woman?!”

Vidio shook his head heavily, as if to regain a bit of his clear thinking.

”But what does a brat like you know about love, anyway?”

Vidio took a deep breath. He looked up at the sky and filled his lungs with the fresh breeze of the night, which differed so greatly from the inns' stale air.
