Ruvera And Prince Elves

Chapters 27. Dalton

Gen gulped down his drink. He spreads his eyes around him. There he was looking for Dalton.

Showing how frustrated he was with the old man to get more information about Hudson who was known to be royal helping the needy.

He asked for additional drinks, then with his magic he threw away little by little the drinks.

"Again!" He's seen Dalton. But the bar guard, glanced at him flatly. He considers Genes a problematic man. He'll be watching her.

The barkeeper gave the glass to the twelve Genes. And Gen took a sip of his drink. "Again!" He held his glass against the table.

"Sorry sir you've been drinking too much" as the barkeeper wiped the glass clean. He did not give her his new drink.

"I pay you! Quickly give me my drink!" Gen gelagat drunk. "You don't know how this cruel life ruined me" he said.

"Where quick! Give me drinks!" Jerk Gen that makes other customers look towards him. No exception to Dalton.

"Where! Get that glass!" When Gen saw other bartenders concocting drinks for other customers.

"It's not yours sir, you're drinking too much" the barkeeper told Gen. But Gen doesn't care,

"I'm paying here! You have no right to lecture me!" Staggered he grabbed the bottle in front of him, but the bartender brushed Gen's hand away.

"What's this, Josh?" Dalton's coming. He's a regular customer and a vip. He saw Gen and he remembered about the young man he had met yesterday and asked about Hudson.

"Give me my drink!" Gen yells, his eyes staring angrily at Josh, and Dalton codes Josh, the bartender to make two glasses and will handle Gen.

Josh made two glasses and was immediately struck by Gen one glass. And one other glass he gave Dalton. "You go back to work." Josh was busy making orders for other customers. Genes are Dalton's responsibility.

"You were yesterday, right? What's yourname?" Dalton asked, he was drunk yesterday and did not remember the name, but he remembered the face.

"You're not Dalton, Ah hello, Gen" Gen acted, "Right, How are you?" The old man replied, sipping his drink. "Bad" Gen.

"My business is ruined! Friends have betrayed!" Tearful laughter heard. He sipped his drink. "They don't know how hard I built it all from scratch" Gen chanted and hoped Dalton would tell her about Hudson.

"Even they call me a rebel, slander until they kick me out of the village" Gen looked down. He glanced at Dalton who was breathing.

"Life is hard, but I can't help much" Dalton said. Genes are not giving up.

"Find me to Hudson, the guy you told me about. I'll ask him for help, he'll help me like everyone else" Dalton thinks Gen's words are a drunkard's mess.

 

"It's my pleasure to drive you, but dear, Mr. Hudson is not in the village, a few days ago he went to another village" Dalton sipped his drink, he remembered this young man insistent on asking about Hudson, just right, it was in trouble.

"You know we're here as ex-rebels" Netra Gen went wide, listening to the story.

"And some of us have Mr. Hudson saved, some like you came because you have no place to live. We're being treated like family by Mr Hudson"

"You asked why we were talking about it, because of its kindness to us and our families, we would be willing if one day Mr. Hudson asked for our help"

"Yes!" 

"We're ready for whatever help Mr. Hudson will ask" Dalton's drunk side of the conversation.

"Yes we're ready!" Scrolling from one table to another. Rumbling sounds like singing yel-yel, filling Gen's hearing. They raised their hands and jumped and sang together.

I don't want him to join either. Pretending to be so stoned he joined Dalton and the others. He slowly came out of the bar.

Gen back to the inn. They can't just attack. Gen ran small by covering her coat from the cold in the middle of the night.

"We need to be more careful." Gene Saying. Ruve looked at Elves.

"Don't be rash, they are loyal followers" continued Gen who remembered them dancing and singing yel-yel while at the bar yesterday.

"Me and Elves will find out where the man went" Ruve beeanjak and using her coat also Elves who followed in silence.

"Yes there, I'll sleep here" Gen told me she just got home in the morning.

Elves and Ruve will return to the bar they stopped at that dinner. Sitting at the very center table, Ruve nodded her head at the Elves, that their play was simulating.

"I heard Taun Hudson helped you?" Said Ruve taut. "Yes he gave me a horse" Elves replied.

"Are you lucky, is Mr Hudson that good? Is he gonna help me if I ask him for help" and it looks like the game's working.

"Of course, you just have to tell me what you're complaining about and he'll be happy to help you" a man joined Ruve's conversation.

"really?" Ruve fished to get more of her game. 

"Of course, your own friend, get a horse" Elves nodded.

"If you don't believe you're staying at his place in the woods, tell me your complaint and you'll find a solution" again the woman ate Ruve's bait.

"I also came to Mr. Hudson's place, he gave me a bag of silver to help myself open the shop" Netra Ruve sparkled, he stared expectantly at the woman in front of him.

"True I just came to his place and told him a story and he'll help?" Ruve held onto the woman's arm which also nodded enthusiastically.

"But it's a pity that you won't be able to see him anytime soon, I heard Mr. Hudson go out of the village" one of the men chimed in.

"What a pity, did he go long?" Ask Ruve. He was looking for answers and everyone just shook their heads they didn't know when Hudson was coming back.

"Maybe you can catch up with him, I heard he's going to the village of Illusory Light and Dragon Eye." A heavy sound from the end of the bar door, the old man walked in, 

"Old Dalton, you must have just woken up" said the woman whose arm was held by Ruve earlier.

"Barbara you're very attentive to me, I order as usual" the old man pulled up a chair near Elves. The woman called Barbara moved out of her chair with a nag.

"You guys are new here?" Ask Dalton. Ruve and Elves he remembers Gen once mentioned Dalton's name, is this the guy?

"Dalton, you guys?"

"Ruve and this Elves" he stared probing at the old man.

"I heard you were given a horse by Mr Hudson?" Dalton smiled slanted at the end of the question. Ruve and elves were careful. Don't let them get caught.

Elves looked at Dalton. Without answering the old man's question. 

"Is Mr Hudson really out of the village? Though I intend to meet him" a man in a hat joined the conversation.

"It's a shame you're so unlucky." Other customer's ejek.

"Don't tell me you want to ask for gold? You are very brave" said the others.

"Originally I'm not acting, he will give it" said the proud man who seemed to be drunk. "Jim, get out of my bar!" Barbara came with Dalton's order of food.

Ruve and Elves agreed to keep quiet better, ignoring Dalton's call, at least they knew where Hudson was.

And the bar became crowded with Barbara who kicked Jim out, the man did not accept, and did not intend to get out of the bar owned by Barbara. Dalton enjoyed his breakfast, at his lunch hour. Ignoring the fuss around him.
