Chapter 61 daily life and the hunt in Malrton 4 (1/2)

Mars arrived at the mansion and vent to see Reimund, only there was one problem

”I still don't know the layout off the mansion...”

Mars looked around the endless corridors and finely swallowed his pride and asked directions for Reimund's office and soon found it with the help off some helpful servants and knocked on the door

”come in”

Mars opened the door and was hit by the smell of old paper as he stepped into Reimund's study, 2 off the walls was lined with bookshelf and the last wall had a big window that let in the evening sun, Reimund himself was sitting behind a desk and was filling out some documents when Mars walked in

”oh Mars, what do you need?”

Mars took out the emblem and laid it on the table were Reimund picked it up and inspected it with a deep frown on his face before he looked up and asked Mars

”where did you find this?”

”I picked it up form a assassin that tried to kill me just now”

”that's... I see...”

Reimund leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples for some time before he gave Mars a serious look

”it's better if you stay in the mansion for awhile”

”why?”

Reimund gave a sigh and picked up the emblem and played around with it for awhile before he spoke with a heavy tone

”i'm a new noble so I don't know the details but it's said that the 1st prince pissed off some people with this exact same emblem right before he died”

”so that means they even kill royalty... that's perfect”

Mars gave a wide smile which made Reimund's frown deeper before he asked

”why is that perfect, didn't you hear what I just said?”

Mars showed a toothy grin as he picked up the emblem again

”well that means there's a giant bounty on anyone that has one off theses right?”

Reimund gave a sigh and after a long time he spoke again

”they are called the 8 heads, if you find a outpost in my town you are free to burn it to the ground”

”will do”

Mars gave Reimund a wave and walked out off his office and closed the door after him and turned to Victoria and asked with a ferocious grin on his face while he clutched the hilt of his sword

”what do you say we go hunting?”

Victoria's eyes lit up as she started purring while her horns flashed

”hunting... fun... let's go”

”yeah but let's bring one more person...”

”who...?”

Mars gave a smile and walked up the stairs to the 3rd floor and knocked on Hanna's door

”who is it?”

”it's me, and Victoria”

”...please come in”

Mars opened the door and walked into Hanna's room where he saw Hanna and Jean, Hanna had her long yellow hair braided and wore a pajamas while Jean wore he usual maid dress and frowned slightly when she saw Mars

”hey Hanna, your up for some extra training?”

Hanna's face paled slightly, she was still sore from the mornings running and feared what kind off training this demonic half dragon had for her

”don't worry you don't have to run”

Hanna gave a sigh and after a little while she gave a nod

”in that case i'm ready for training”

”good then change into some combat capable clothes and meet me at the front gate... bring Jean too”

”okay...see you there”

Mars walked back out off the room and vent downstairs and out to the gate and sat down to wait and a few minutes late Hanna and Jean showed up, Hanna was clad in a mage like robe and carried a staff with a small gem on the tip while Jean had her dagger on the outside off her skirt

”so what kind off training is this?”

Mars gave a smile and gave Hanna his left arm while slightly bowing

”it's my honor to escort you young lady”

Hanna showed a puzzled expression but still took Mars's arm as they both walked into the night town

”...what kind off training is th---”

”how are you with blood?”

Mars cut off Hanna that had asked him again

”well... bad?”

”hmm... in that case it's image training tonight”

”image training?”

”yes image training”

”okay...?”

the group off 4 walked into the night and soon Mars felt a cool gaze and gave a slight smile while he gave a glance at Jean and mentally rated her performance

'2 outta 5 stars... she has noticed the gaze but doesn't know where it is... plus it shows on her face'
