Arthur's Point of View
Pendragon Estate
A knock came from my door, which immediately startled me. Using a gravity pillar to pull Defiance across the room and to my hands, I moved to the entryway. The knock had ceased, but there was reason to be wary. While only one magic signature could be seen it wasn't hard to imagine that I was already surrounded.
"Who is it?" I called out.
"Aydalia." My brows shot up in surprise at that. "Or Mama Farro if you prefer." Opening the door after looking around to see if she was alone, I saw her eyes shoot to my sword. "Expecting someone else?"
My eyes darted around the area to see if she was truly alone. "Something like that." Putting Defiance on my back, I shifted my gaze back to her. "Is there a reason you're here?"
She seemed nervous that I was so on edge. "I wanted to talk about the journal you read, but I'm not sure now is the best time." Her robes blew lightly in the wind along with her green hair as she looked around the area cautiously. "Did something happen?"
Bobbing my head back and forth, I answered. "I might've, or might not of, told Arceana to essentially go fuck herself." Holding up my right hand as Aydalia looked at me shocked, I continued. "She had some assassins on standby and did some other unpleasant shit that I do not approve up." Then my other hand went up. "That led to me putting her in her place. On the floor. Somewhat violently." Aydalia's eyes were wide, and her jaw dropped. "All in all, not the best dinner I've ever had." Continue reading on No_veLbIn
"Are..." She started after trying to collect herself. "Are you telling the truth?"
"There's a reason I had my sword. Not sure what's going to happen over the course of the next few days, but if there is a clash, make sure you keep your kids out of it." I warned her. "If they get involved, that's on them."
"Women and children get the same treatment from me depending on what they're doing. Both have tried to kill me before, so the notion that they should receive fewer consequences compared to their male counterparts is lost on me." I informed her.
"Children have tried killing you before?" The Elf looked a little disturbed at that.
"Several times. Hell, one of the times was when I was here and got confronted by some Ghouls. Some of those Ghouls were children." Then I shrugged. "Still killed them."
Mama Farro looked pained at that, but given what she knew, she couldn't chastise me for my actions. "Understandable in some circumstances, I suppose."
I nodded. "You suppose right."
My confirmation made her eyes roll. "So, I hear you're the one behind all the improvements the to the Lowest Rung."
Another nod. "Yep. Been working on improving The Slums overall." Then I pointed off to the wall. "With the battlements up and the wall almost complete, we've been laying down stone to help with keeping the streets clean." I explained. "The farms had to stay on the outside, but I put a tower above each one so there is a lookout posted twenty-four hours a day incase something happens." Then I shrugged. "That keeps the entire city safe and allows for a quick response time for the people outside the walls."
"I see you're also building the streets outside of the Lowest Rung." Aydalia commented as she pointed back towards the gate, which had a street extending out from the inside of the walls. "Is that for it to reach your home eventually?"
I shook my head. "No. It helps get off dirt from boots and wagons before entering The Slums. Keeps the city streets upkeep much more manageable. Not that I think any of The Slum's resident's care. However, it also makes it easier to clean the streets in one specific location before anyone even enters."
The Elf studied me for a moment before asking me another question. "Why do you call it 'The Slums' when the term is somewhat disrespectful, yet you're doing your best to take such good care of it?"
"To literally shit on everyone in the Upper Rungs. I want people to show up to Helmsforth, see 'The Slums' and then if they head up the mountains, I want them to be disappointed upon seeing the 'Upper Rungs'." I replied earnestly.
She shook her head with a smile. "You are an interesting man, Sir Arthur. If what you say is true, and even if it's not, I imagine it's for good reasons."
"Glad you think so."
