Silver Throne

Small Games

Currently under a tree on the main roadside of Aurum, there were two noble girls discussing while staring at a beggar who was asleep under the tree.

" Hey Sofia, do you think that beggar is still alive ? "

" I don't know, anyway we should move this beggar away from the main road, if Mr. Silverash really came to watch the festival a few days later and saw such filthy beggars lying on the side of the road, it would definitely bother him, I'm not gonna let that happen. "

" Hmph, you disgusting fanatic, you even consider such a thing.but do you not pity this beggar, look at him, his face is very pale, his face is very pale, his clothes were in tatters and many scars were visible almost all over his body, clearly he had been cruelly beaten.

In my opinion, he was trying to rest while begging in front of someone else's house but was instead beaten by the owner of the house because he was disturbed by the smell and his dirty appearance, did you not feel sorry for him ? "

" Come on Fiona, it's not that I don't feel sorry for her, but I have no other choice, if it's a normal day, maybe I'll let her rest here, but you know it's not gonna happen this time. "

" Well, whatever you say, this is your town anyway, sigh. "

" I'm not a beggar. "

" !!! "

As the two girls were considering what to do to the beggar in front of them, they were suddenly startled by a voice coming from the beggar they were talking about.

" Are you awake, beggar sir ? "

After recovering from her shock, Fiona asked Evan who was trying to get up from her sleeping position, but because she felt that it was too tiring, she said, he quickly gave up and decided to just lean his back against the tree that was behind him.

" How can I sleep if you two are so noisy and didn't I tell you that I'm not a beggar, my grandfather was one of the members of the Rose Merchant Guild, so you could say my family was quite wealthy. "

" O.. if that's the case, why are you dressed like that and sleeping on the sidewalk ? "

" Sigh, I actually set out together with a service man and a guard in a horse-drawn carriage, but in the middle of the road we were attacked by a group of bandits.

After a fierce fight, we finally managed to escape the bandits, but due to the urgent situation, we were forced to abandon our carriage and luggage. "

" Oh that's the case, so where are your servants and guards now ? "

" My servant is looking for a nearby inn while for my guard..?. He may be coming soon ? "

" Huh?, what do you mean by that unconvinced tone. "

" I don't really know when my guards will come, either, because I gave him a sentence before coming here. "

" Hooo... Why are you punishing your guards, did he make a mistake ? "

" Hmph, I punished him because he was stupid. "

" ... "

" It's enough with all this nonsense, I still have a lot of important things to do, can you move out of this place immediately ! "

Sofia who had been silent listening to the ravings of her best friend and the suspected beggar finally decided to interfere.

" No, I'm hurt, tired, and hungry, besides I can't see, besides this road belongs to my father, I'm free to wander wherever I want. "

And what was unexpected was that this beggar not only disobeyed his orders but also denied them with words that made him very angry.

Without further ado Sofia instantly unsheathed the short sword that was on her waist and attempted to slash the damn beggar into small pieces.

When Fiona sees her best friend starting to lose her mind, she tries her hardest to stop Sofia before it's too late.

" What are you doing, let me go, I'll cut this beggar into pieces. "

" Be calm Sofia, if you kill her it will only harm you, you must remember that the Rose Merchant Guild has a very close relationship with the Silverash family.

Fortunately, Fiona knows what her best friend's weaknesses are and manages to calm her down quite easily.

But suddenly, Evan says something that makes Sofia again explode with greater anger than before.

" Pffft... did I not mishear, Guardian?, hahahaa.....A little girl like you wants to become a Guardian, it's just a dream that will never come true.

Since the Silverash family has never once accepted a female Guardian, stop making people laugh with your ridiculous ideals, from now on you better start learning to sew and cook so that one day you don't disappoint your husband, hahahaa. "

Upon hearing Evan's words, Sofia was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, roaring loudly at Evan while trying to pounce on him.

" Damn it, let go of me Fiona, just one slash, I only need one slash of my sword to kill this bastard. "

" Be calm Sofia, something done while being angry will never end well, as your best friend I don't want you to regret a lifetime just because of this little problem. "

" What?, little?, he's insulted me a few times and you said it was a small matter, no matter what I'm going to kill him today. "

" I told you it would only cause you trouble, if you really wanted to avenge that beggar, then prove that if you are capable of becoming a Guardian, don't destroy your future like this. "

" ... "

After repeated persuasions from her best friend, Sofia was finally able to calm her anger a little.

" Fiuhhh, you're right Fiona, I just have to be a Guardian and prove to everyone who looks down on me if they're wrong.

You heard it's a fucking beggar, someday I'm gonna make you pull those words back, keep that in mind, let's go Fiona. "

After saying her words, Sofia held Fiona's hand and dragged her away towards their horse carriage.

As the soldiers escorting the two girls saw this, they immediately followed their Master with slightly regretful expressions.

Are you kidding me, it's rare that you can see that usually cold and cool Young Miss being played around in such a way by someone, so no wonder they're a little sad when it's all over.

But before long, a familiar voice was heard coming back from behind their backs which made the soldiers become excited once again.

" Hey Miss, if you want me to take back my words, no need to wait for you to become a Guardian, you might never achieve that in your entire life, what if we made a bet right now. "

Sofia's footsteps suddenly came to a halt when she heard those words, she immediately turned her body and asked angrily.

" What is that ? "

" It's actually very simple, you should know that in a few days' time the tournament will be held in this city, I plan to include my services in that tournament and if you can beat him in the ring, I plan to include him, I'll take back my words. "

" All right, I- "

" Wait a minute, what if he loses ? "

Fiona soon interrupts her dumb best friend as she tries to agree to Evan's terms without even knowing what happens if he loses.

" You don't have to worry Miss, I won't ask for anything if she loses, just think of this as a little game between us, what about that ? "

" Then agree, but wait a minute, how can we find out which of your servants from so many participants?, by the way we also do not know what your name is. "

" It's actually very easy to recognize my waiter, he chose a unique characteristic that his hair was white like snow, and for my name it doesn't matter. "

" Hmph, keep trying to act mysterious, let's go Fiona.

After the group went away, Evan suddenly laughed merrily and muttered something obscure from his mouth.

" Hehehee, it looks like this tournament is going to get even more interesting. "
