The old guy was kind enough to forbid him from taking after another with out resting. He was band just because they want him to rest, even he wont admit it, he was touched by this, that make his lips smile, since he was looking to the crowed the old guy didn’t saw it.

This world there is no such thing as fairy tale or peaceful life, the reality was awful and rotten “you can, but not all you meet was nice guys their those who was rotten and worst the devil” the old guy said and he continued “but meeting those people teach you to became who you are in the future, so do not trust easily and complaisant just because they show you kindness, evils are good in pretending”
“that is why I’m here, the lady told me if I gonna travel in to the handderial empire I should hire a man from a guild, she recommend this guild and sceleon told me that I might saw my brother here!” she replied the old man, sahar just looking and analyzing the young lady that didn’t notice his presence as if that she and the old man was the only being in the palace “if your brother was here I might can help you I know everyone in this guild, what is his name?” the old guys ask, but instead of answering the young girl looked away with embarrassment, her cheek and ears turn red, the girl was white as snow it noticeable when she turn in to red. “I never met him, and I don’t know his name” she said as her head was down and she biting her finger nails, “but I will know him is I could see him” said with eagerness in her voice “I bet you can’t kid” sahar said lock his eyes to the young kid talking to the bar owner “uh-hmm I ca-” the kid response and turn to look at him, the girl was cut as their eyes met, and sahar heard that strange voice his hearing since that day siahara Ammiedéll , none of them talk the just starring at each other for the whole minute it was cut off as the old man speak “are you two will just stare each other for whole day?”
