Chapter 80 Going Back To The Kingdom

The carriage was galloping so slow that because of the roughness of the earth's surface. It was not a comfortable ride for the passengers but, what else can they expect from a cheap ride?

Norman was on this carriage going toward the direction of the capital. They had to inform the kingdom about the rebellion as soon as possible to avoid future problems. He saw how his sister got beheaded, it's still a vivid memory in his mind. How she was crying begging for her life in front of a young boy.

"Uncle, Do you have water?" Hannah was on verge of fainting without water because they had to survive a hard life in these few days avoiding people as much as possible.

"This is the last drop, drink it carefully," Norman gave his water container which was made with rather cheap material to her.

Hannah drank it in one gulp, she started coughing violently feeling water blocking her trachea.

"Slow down, girl," He took the container and helped her to get over the cough.

"Uncle, I feel so sick, when are we going to reach the capital?" She had lost the previous bright colour she had on her face. It was replaced with a ragged look because of the rough lifestyle they had in these past few days.

"Soon, we will reach the capital," He answered her.

"We are reaching the capital in 2 hours," The carriage man shouted informing everyone about their destination.

It took them more than 2 hours to reach the capital but they couldn't complain since the price was really low.

They entered the capital paying a few bronze coins. There were three types of coins used among the people in the kingdom. The most valuable ones were gold, silver and then bronze coins.

Bronze and silver coins are the most used among the common people. 10 bronze coins were equal to one silver coin while 100 silver coins were equal to 1 gold coin.

Gold coins were mostly used among the nobles and the big merchant because they have big transactions to make. Even though the empire has a different kind of currency, all the kingdoms have the same kind.

Norman knew the guild master so he decided to visit him first because it was impossible to meet a noble without having a proper status. They might be able to meet them under normal conditions but, right now they had nothing to prove their identities except the few people Norman knew in the capital.

He entered the adventure guild which was bustling with people. Some were running around trying to find some quests, others were talking loudly.

"Uncle, how can we meet your friend, there are so many people," Hannah was the one to question him.

"Let's see unlike before I have no authority since I didn't tell them about my visit, I will try to talk with the receptionist," Norman answered her and went to talk with the receptionist.

"Hello, Can I meet the guild master? I'm the guild master from the Cantrell territory, there's something I want to talk about something with him," She quickly looked at him confused.

"Do you have a prior arrangement to meet with him, sir?" She asked.

"I don't, this is an emergency, that's why I came all the way here," Norman took his guild card which was different from all the others. It had a hint of gold colour in it.

It had some special privilege among the guild. The gold card holders were the special individuals in the guild who did some special service to it.

"Sir Norman, Please wait for a moment, I will call the guild master," Her attitude took a full turn when she saw his real gold card. That's how much power it held.

She quickly ran inside the building, where officials usually stay. It took a few minutes for her to come back.

"Guild master is hoping you, you can meet him there," She said while showing a fancy door.

"Thank you," Norman held the hand of Hannah and went inside the room.

An old man was sipping his tea calmly inside the room. He had a powerful aura which can even intimidate an A-rank like Norman, This man here was the most powerful former adventurer of this kingdom, even though he was an old man he had the energy of a youngster.

"Oh! You're Norman, right? I remember you, we met once in the guild meeting," The old man said looking at Norman.

"It's nice to meet you again, master Ivan," Norman bowed his head giving him the respect he deserved.

"So what brings you here? You look exhausted, did something happen in Cantrell territory," He said while observing Hannah and Norman.

Ivan asked them to take a seat and poured some tea for them. Even though Norman had no interest in tea, Hannah was gulping it greedily.

"We got attacked by a rebel army, and the viscount is dead, I had no way to inform you about it so, I came here in person to inform you about it," Norman explained to him about how they got attacked.

"How didn't we know about this? An army from where? I don't think even the crown knows about this," Ivan was confused about the attacker's identity.

"It is him, Davin Keller, I knew he was up to something when he collected all those people under him," Norman dropped the bomb on him.

"Oh! I didn't expect to hear the name of that boy, Was he the mastermind behind this?" Ivan questioned him.

"I don't know but there was another boy, but I felt an ominous feeling looking at him, I guess he is a higher rank than me," Norman dropped another bomb on Ivan.

"What? Impossible! There cannot be a youngster who's a higher rank than you, aren't you an A-rank warrior, did you lose your mind?" Ivan felt no interest in this rebellion before because he wasn't bound to help them or crown them in this matter, but now he was amazed by the information he got.

"Believe me, master, he's more powerful than me at least," Norman kept insisting about it.

"If you insist so much, I will believe you, so you need my help to inform about this to the kingdom, right?" Ivan got to the point because he was excited to see this new talent.

Ivan was a battle freak just like Delvi and others. He wanted to see how a child can get more powerful than a guild master with his own eyes. Ivan was labelled as a prodigy by people because he was able to reach S-rank in his middle age but, since then he had hit a bottleneck.

"Thank you so much, master," Norman was grateful for his help.

"By the way, who's this girl? Is she your daughter or something?" Ivan said while looking at Hannah.

"She is the daughter of the dead viscount, I was able to rescue her because of my sister," Norman answered him.

"You have my condolences, girl," Ivan said and got up from his seat.

"Get ready to leave, we will deal with this immediately since this is an emergency,"

They left to meet the officials of the Rapidclaw kingdom.
