17 Chapter 17 (1/2)

I knock the door of Diana's house, I waited there for a few seconds and then the door was open by a middle-aged woman. When the woman sees me in front of the door, she then tried to shut the door but I manage to stop it.

”I will pay when I have the money...but for now” The middle-aged woman looks a little scared as I try to explain the reason I am here. After she heard the reason why I am here, I could see that she was very shocked. She could hold the heartbreak no longer and she fell to the floor in a disheveled heap as her grief poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears.

I feel so remorseful as I saw Diana's mother cry so hard, I tried to console her but it was no use. Few minutes have already passed and Diana's mother seems to calm down. She then thanks me for letting her know about Diana's death.

I then give her the 5000 gold as I promise Hugh to give it to Diana's family. Diana's mother was surprised by my action as she not expected to be given any gold. I told her that it was my responsibility as I was the one that hires Diana for my quest.

”I can't thank you enough, young man, as it will help us to pay our debt.” Tears are coming down again from her eyes.

I tell her if anything happens in the future, just tell me and I would be glad to help. After that a few minutes more of talking, I left and headed to the mercenary guild to find Hugh. But when I arrive and the guild, I do not see Hugh there.

I ask the guild receptionist about Hugh whereabouts and she tells me that Hugh was heading to the castle to report the incident and the undead. The guild receptionist also tells me that I should report what I had seen in that cave to the King as it would be better if the king knows about the danger that is lurking in the cave. I thanks the receptionist and headed to the castle, I then decide to go to the blacksmith shop first as I wanted to tell Fozir that I will not be buying that armor.

When I arrive at the blacksmith shop, Fozir is surprised by my arrival. ”Oh, Arias! back already with my ore, it was fast even for you...I guess the cave was pretty easy right.” Fozir then laughs but when he saw my serious face he immediately stops.

I told Fozir what had happened in that cave and about my decision to buy that armor. He then feels sorry about what had happened but at the same time, he feels glad that I survive. He also understands my decisions to not buy the champion armor.

Fozir feels bad and he decides to give me an armor but I refuse the offer as I tell him that I will not be fighting anymore. He asks me why I won't be fighting anymore.

”When I saw Diana died fighting the Earthen Drake, my heart feels scared as I want to run away from there and leave Hugh but I couldn't do it.” My hand trembles again as I remember the event.
