”We have arrived, your highness” the carriage driver called out from the front and halted the horses.
*plop*
Caesar hurled the large bag of blacksmithing tools over his shoulder and stepped out of the carriage. Sebastian quickly followed after him and they both made their way to the palace.
They walked up the large set of stairs and approached the doors… The guards upon noticing Caesar's presence bowed deeply and opened the doors.
*creak*
Once they walked inside the palace Caesar turned towards Sebastian and asked: ”where is joe currently staying?”
”He is staying in the left wing, he is in room number 25” Sebastian replied respectively
”Thank you, also, can you inform my father that I would like to speak with him tomorrow morning” Caesar thanked Sebastian and started walking towards the left wing.
”Your wish is my command” Sebastian replied humbly before walking towards the inner palace.
Caesar walked through the large palace and admired its elegance, pictures of famous and historical figures decorated the walls. Expensive looking vases and other eye candies were also placed on both sides of the walkways.
Maids and butlers were constantly scrambling around to clean the rooms or prepare food for the residents of the palace. Once Caesar walked by them they would bow deeply before carrying on with their task. After walking for about 4 minutes Caesar finally arrived in front of a wooden door that was labeled '25'
Caesar hesitated for second before he lifted his hand and gently knocked on the door.
*knock*
*knock*
*SPRANG*
The door was immediately thrown open and an excited looking Joe popped out… Once he saw Caesar's face he instantly calmed down and looked at Caesar with disgust.
”Hmph, I thought a woman was paying me a nightly visit, sorry brother but I don't swing that way,” Joe said mockingly
Caesar rolled his eyes and walked passed Joe, he walked inside the room and plopped the bag of blacksmithing tools on the table.
Caesar scanned the room afterward and noticed that it was quite plain compared to his, there was a small desk and bed in one of the corners and a bookcase on the opposite side. There was also a bathroom on the right side wall.
Caesar scanned Joe's bed and noticed there were a few opened books and traces of movement.
Joe followed Caesar's line of sight and coughed lightly, he walked over and subtly closed the books on his bed ”Oi, why are you looking at me like I'm some kind of bug huh? Every man does it” Joe said with resentment towards Caesar
”I pity the maid that has to wash your sheets” Caesar whispered to himself barely audible enough for Joe to hear it
”Fucking bastard, do you think you're perfect? I saw you walk in that fox girls room that one night” Joe argued
”Ahem, I brought the blacksmithing tools you asked for” Caesar cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject.
”Bastard changing the subject” Joe grumbled as he walked over to the table and took the blacksmithing tools out one by one.
”What the fuck are these?” Joe asked Caesar bewildered
A vein popped out on Caesar's head ”these are the basic blacksmithing tools you asked for”
Joe looked at Caesar as if he was an idiot ”I said basic tools, you think I'm going to make a damn magic accessory with a hammer?”
A second vein popped out on Caesar's forehead ”If you needed something specific why the hell did you tell me to get you basic blacksmithing tools”
”Heh, I thought someone of your caliber would know what to get,” Joe said with a mocking smile.
*crack*
Caesar cracked his knuckles and asked Joe in the nicest way possible ”so, what do you need to make a magic accessory?”
”Well first, I need a magic engraver… It looks similar to a needle but it is a great conductor for mana… I also need a magic stone that will hold and recover the mana in the accessory”
*crash*
Caesar kicked Joe in the abdomen knocking him flying from the room into the hallway ”you call those basic blacksmithing tools? Are you retarded?” Caesar smiled menacingly while walking towards Joe that was on the ground.
”Haha, you can hurt me but you will never break me,” Joe said with an ugly smile.
15 seconds later….
”I-im sorry, no more Caesar, I'm your brother remember?”
”Sigh, where can I find the things you need?” Caesar breathed a long sigh and straightened out his shirt.
Joe that was currently under the foot of Caesar squirmed a little bit and stood back up ”finding the magic engraver is easy, the magic stone is going to be tricky though”
Caesar rubbed his forehead with his index finger ”you're worthless” Caesar muttered.
”Oi, I am a dwarf. I can find magic stones easily if I travel around the world” Joe roared with indignation
”Okay, the front gates are open… You can go ahead and adventure” Caesar replied with a straight face.
