Chapter 12: I Don't Care About Lord Loy Or Whatever!
It was a chilly morning, the sun barely shined, and the wind barely passed by. The blue sky looked grey. Because it was an early morning, the people of Třekov placed their belongings and so forth on the street so that they could start selling ahead of time. They didn't mind the cold weather for as long as it wasn't a rainy day they would work for hours a day. The people of Třekov always sold things and even traded with merchants. It was a town of success.
As Xavier walked by, he kept hearing the name, Loy.
" Did you hear, Lord Loy passed away yesterday. I heard that the knights got attacked by another town's own." An old woman whispered looking around making sure no one heard of her incompetence.
" Yeah! I heard him and Lord Feran were the last ones left and that they wiped out all the knights before Lord Loy got stabbed by a kid. I always knew that idiot was soft! Damn pesky noble!" The man then spat out saliva on the ground as he drank his booze.
" Shhh!" the woman loudly whispered.
Xavier looked at everyone with confusion.' Just who is Lord Loy!'
Everything Xavier heard for the day was Lord Loy and it kept being repeated. Xavier couldn't take it anymore so we walked away from that side of town where stores, stalls, merchants, markets, and merchandisers were. They were also some kind of rumors most of it surrounding the knights. Xavier wasn't so fond of rumors one could tell that he hated talking about someone behind their backs.
As Xavier walked past the empty side of town, a man grabbed him and held a knife by his throat. The man looked wrinkled and wore tore up clothes. He was most likely from the slums.
" Give me all your stuff!" The man smiled thinking he hit the jackpot but he hit a stone rock in his way.
Xavier grabbed the man's knife, spun in motion, and placed the man's knife by his throat.
He then grinned," Got anything valuable?"
He pushed the man back into the alleyway where he came from." Nice knife. I think I'll keep it."
The man then flounced off." Damn kids these days!" He kicked a glass bottle to show his anger.
Xavier then turned around and continued going his way, playing with his newfound knife. It seems that even this dark side of the town where alleyways were found and the poor roamed also had folktales." Didn't Lord Loy have a kid? Oh yeah, it was Owyne I think!"
Xavier's face lightened with shock." That guy was a holy knight then."
" Oh, Little Xavier!" A fat old man with extended hair came out of an alleyway.
" Uncle Fen." Xavier then dug through his pocket and took one that looked to be a gemstone out of it. Vivian had dug up a gemstone while Gardener and had Xavier sold it. The only person he knew who would buy it was Fen, who he politely referred to as, Uncle Fen.
The man then inspect the gemstone and threw three Vriyis gold coins. It was the highest lot of currency on this continent.
Xavier looked at the coins with awe. It was a lot of money. 'Wherever Vivian dug that up, she better keep digging!'
Xavier took and hid his money while walking away. People would kill for something valuable in the slums. It was a place not to be.
Not even the founder of the town could hold them back. Too bad he perished hundreds of years ago. Xavier then made a trip back through town.
***
As Xavier walked up the hill, he saw Vivian smiling gracefully. Whenever she was involved with money, a pleasant smile would appear around her. Oh, how, she loved money so.
She then looked at Xavier head to toe," How much did you get?"
" About three Vriyis gold coins." He smiled and thought she would be happy about it.
" What! That damn scammer Fen!" She pouted.
Xavier looked at her confused," How much were we supposed to get anyway?"
" Four not three!"
Tears then appeared in eyes," I'll send Feran a letter to deal with that guy!"
Xavier then looked at her with cringe.' Is she gonna cry?'
He then comforted Vivian as she cried." I'll never trade with someone from the slums again, even though I used to live there!"
' Eh? Oh yeah, she was a runaway then she became an adventurer and met dad in battle.'
Xavier then looked around the green environment,' I wonder if that Owyne guy is there again.'
***
" Oh, there you are!" Xavier walked up to the tree.
" If you want your spot then just say it!" Owyne answered.
" Heard about your dad." Xavier looked at him.
" Are you holding sympathy towards me? You peasant, are you forgetting who's fault it is!"
' Damn, I hate guys like this! They cry when someone dies, act tough, and blame others.'
" It wasn't Feran's fault besides you weren't there." Xavier got angry.
" Don't dare talk to me like that!" He punched Xavier before getting punched harder and pushed on the floor. He got punched continuously and his face looked like he was stunned by multiple bees. Xavier then left him on the floor.
Owyne began to cry," I sure I'll get revenge, be it now or when I get older!"
" I couldn't dare less give a shit." Xavier looked down on Owyne.
Xavier left Owyne by the tree." That's another reason for me to get stronger otherwise I'll be targeted by a dumb noble."
Xavier looked at Owyne as he limped away crying.
" I hate kids my age." He pouted. " Their so," Xavier said " unmatured."
Even though he is 6, Xavier had the mind of 21 year old. He, himself, was also a bit unmatured since he was reincarnated into the body of a child. Xavier balled his fist," All that aside, I need to get absolute stronger." He said this as he looked at his small fists.
