Chapitre 105: Runaway Maiden

The rain continued throughout the night. One and the dwarf he had met spent the rest of the evening together. 

The dwarf was by no means an ill-willed person. In fact, he was a kind dwarf who knew a lot about the smithing of weapons and tending of the land he ruled over.

He was also a good farmer, or so he claimed. One made it clear he was not adapted to a life in the fields of crops and so his first job was to cut down some trees to make a clearing. 

It was simple enough for One to accept. He was to start by the break of dawn. If the rain was still not over by then, One would start at any hour after the rain had stopped.

The dwarf went to sleep after eating his share of the soup he had made and snoozed in his bedroom. One was left alone in the living room, ever gazing through the windows into the trees that surrounded the hut.
