They walked back to their stall
"This getting complicated, how we are supposed to approach her?" Rose crossing her hands
"A future empress.. what's an empress?" asked Dianna
"She will be a queen." explained Leena "but.. with her illness"
"A queen, wow.."
"How about we go to the palace and tell them the truth?" Sierra suggested
Garland sighed "And getting us locked up?"
Fabien shook his head "Garland is right, there is nothing we could do."
"There's still time, we'll figured it out." said Rein
"So.. what are we going to do now?" asked Kincade
"let's find a place to stay for the night."
They went to the town to find a lodge. They walked around (Fabian slowed them down because he always stop to gave a quick treatment to the sick local) but all the lodge were already full. Fortunately the last lodge owner gave them a location of a small bar that doubles as an inn at the edge of the town. After thanking him, they head to the said bar.
They arrived at the area directed by the owner, it was the poorer side of the town, everything was rundown and rather quiet.
"Well.. at least it's not crowded." mumbled Kincade
Fabian stopped once more to gave an old man a medicine for his knee.
"Fab, it's getting late!" protested Garland "Stop treating everyone you see!"
"Hey! there it is." Rose pointed at a two storied house, the fondation was crooked.
"Is it safe?" Dianna tilting her head
"Well, that's the best we can get, come on.." said Rein
As they approached the house enterance, a little girl walked out from the house; carrying a bucket of water.
She was surprised to see them there. "A customer?" Her face lit. "Mom! we have customer!"
The mother walked out from the house, "Su ni, don't shout in the middle of night. Oh!" she was surprised looking at them "Did you- need something?"
"The Fansha lodge owner recommended us here for a place to stay." said Rein
"Oh! Come in! Come in!" welcomed the mother, "We rarely had a customer.."
They followed the owner and her daughter, and went inside the house. The place was empty and a bit dark with the only light coming from outside, but the place was clean.
"We want to rent, uhmm.. for maybe 3 to 5 days." Rein smiled
"It will be 30 siling for a day including meal."
"That's really cheap.." Garland whispered
The little girl was coughing badly.
"Is she allright?" Leena concerned
The owner received the rent fee from Rain, "It's been a year.. but with this money, i hope it's enough to bring her to a doctor."
"Fab.."
"Do not worry, her illness is not that serious, i will heal her and her mother tomorrow."
"the owner too?"
After giving her daughter a water to drink. she asked them to followed her. She brought them to the second floor. There were 3 rooms, each with two wodden beds without matress, it seemed very uncomfortable.
They rent all 3 rooms. Rein said good night to the girls and joined the other boys to their room (They let the girls have the last 2 rooms). After removing their costumes, they voted to decide who will get the bed. After intense rock paper scissor, Rein and Fabian got the beds, while the 2 slept on the floor. They tossed their pillow and blanket to Garland and Kincade.
Rein tried lying on the bed, his back hurt a lot and the pillow was hard as a rock. Suddenly he heard a loud crack, it's coming from Fabian's bed. He was surprised when he saw the bed split in half; Garland and Kincade burst into laughter.
The door opened and Rrose went inside, "What happen-" the other girls followed behind her, They were all speechless.
Sierra and Rose laughed. Then they heard the owner rushing to their room, her eyes widen when she saw the bed destroyed. Fabian apologized profusely to the owner and promised to fixed the bed tomorrow morning. It's seemed the owner was too shocked to noticed Fabian, Garland and Kincade otherworldly appearences.
