"The more opiate a person is about something, the crazier he is about to get it."
*****************######****************
"Miss, the preparation is ready," Dian said as she gave the black robe to Dusk.
"Good, let's go."
Before leaving the room Dian first checked the state of the dormitory. After feeling quite safe, Dian then returned and told Dusk. Moments later the two of them walked out of the dorm without being noticed by anyone.
"Miss, I've prepared a horse carriage not far from the Academic gate."
"It's so good."
Arriving at the gate, Dusk immediately boarded the train car while Dian who became its coachman.
The conditions along the road to the black market were calm. All clothing and food stores were closed leaving street lights illuminating the horse-drawn carriage.
15 Minutes later Dusk had reached the entrance of the black market. As usual he mentioned the keyword and soon the shabby wall was open.
When Dusk saw the dim passage to the black market, Dusk unconsciously recalled the secret door under the Rose empress pavilion.
"This is a very hard thing to ignore."
Inside the black market is still as usual despite four months of Dusk did not visit there but the market conditions are still unchanged.
"Dian, from here you should start being careful and don't talk until I tell you to."
"None right."
"Business begins."
Dusk put on a strange smile that made Dian as his servant all this time could only frown with the actions of his miss.
Immediately after that Dusk rushed off towards the battle house where he would meet with the Servan Count to transact.
"Miss, this place is very rotten," Dian shrieked with a dislike expression as she looked at the fighters who came out with chains around her neck.
"Take it easy, let the past pass there are times when you can take revenge so be patient."
Dian only nodded her head after hearing the twilight speech. Although it hurts to have to go berserk but Dian justifies what the lady said.
Long Dusk walked in down the hallway of the battle house but he still did not find the Count master.
"Is he dead?" tanya was upset with herself.
"Hey you're there."
Dusk pointed at one of the officers who was standing guard at the door of the children's fighter.
"What's wrong Miss?"
"Where does the Count own this building?"
"That, she.., she..."
"Is he dead?"
"Eh, no Miss now the Count is...."
The guard looked confused, as if he was weighing a suitable reason for Dusk.
"What is it, huh? Is it bathing or is it dying in the shower?"
It was the look of annoyed face of Dusk that made the guard to drip cold sweat all over his body.
"Yes how do I know. I was just a guard not the baby sister of the Count," the guard muttered in his heart with a face of panic and annoyance.
"Oho, who is this?"
There was a sharp sound from behind the guard. An annoyed twilight lazily glanced towards the source of the voice.
"Tu, Count sir," the guard choked in shock with a frightened expression. He felt a gripping and creepy feeling from behind his back.
"Hi, why am I here,"
The guard felt that his position was completely wrong. It is right between the mysterious young lady and the master owner of this place.
"I want to go home,"
The guard started to sweat cold as the waterfall began to fall.
"Count."
"Welcome Miss," said Count Servan casually still with her mysterious smile.
"Not to make it easy for me to come here to ask you for something."
"Oho, alright lady then follow me."
Dusk and Count left the place to enter further into the depths of the hallway which was only illuminated by lanterns.
"Thank God, I survived," the guard was relieved after seeing the Count master and Dusk leave.
Dian who saw the relieved expression of the guard could only look at him strangely.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so relieved?"
"Of course it's because of the departure of your lady and the count lord and this place."
It was very desirable for the guard to shout to express his heart but he chose to be quiet and not say it.
"Are you mute?"
"..."
The guard had no obligation to answer Dian's question. He knew that Dian was only a servant and not an employer.
Dian who felt neglected immediately left the guard and followed Dusk from behind.
"For a long time no see Miss," exclaimed the Servant Count still with a strange smile expanding on his face.
"There's not much to the Count's pleasantries, just get to the point."
"Hahaha, you really are a woman who doesn't like to beat around the bush."
"I thought after the inspection incident that time you were dead at the gallows." sneered Dusk which made the corner of Count Servan's lips twitch in pain.
"Your mouth is sharp."
"I haven't seen you since, but I'm hiding here."
"I've just finished my personal business, sorry if that makes you in trouble here."
"..."
"What does Miss need from me? Do you need another waiter?"
"I came here to ask you to find a safe place on the black market for me."
"Where?"
"Well, is that a hard place?"
"Not so hard, but what's that miss for?"
"Secret."
Seeing the count who was still silent made Dusk think for a moment. He knew that the man in front of him was very difficult to discuss, but it was not that difficult if there was money.
"I want to make a long-term investment with you. How's it?" continued Dusk who got the Count's little attention.
"Don't think much, I know your brain capacity is still not enough for that so let me explain this to the end" Dusk sharply said after seeing the indecisive Count.
"Alright, Miss, you can start now."
"Look, I want a building that can accommodate many people without being suspected by the kingdom. Besides, I also need some child fighters to help with their development..."
"If you need a warrior slave I have plenty for it."
Dusk stared intently at the Count who was cutting his explanation.
"Khem. Please resume, Miss."
"I want a building where there's a basement inside. The building will be used as a place to exchange information or carry out important missions from clients. Surely the mission will be paid according to the difficulty of its completion.
"Wait for Miss, do you want to make a Guild adventure in this market?"
"That's right."
"But that Miss is so dangerous, how can you do that?"
"No need to worry, I have a solution for that."
Dusk stared at the count with a sparkling face. It was like finding a treasure that could be used at any time.
"Miss...?"
The Count who saw the strange gaze of Dusk began to shudder in horror. At least he knew what the young woman was currently thinking of him.
"They already know if you are the owner of this place and there will be no problem if you open an adventure Guild. Isn't that very beneficial for you as well."
"Miss, you don't know if this building doesn't belong to me. I am only the owner of the name while the real contract belongs to the man. And the reason why I wasn't executed back then is because the man guaranteed me."
"But the Miss." The Count wanted to refuse but not before he could finish his sentence, Dusk had cut off the count's words.
"For money matters it's easy. I just need your name, after all if you don't spread what's really there then no one will ever find out."
"Miss, you look exactly like that guy. He arrogantly asked me to sign a lifetime contract for the secrecy of this place over his."
"You have a point, but that's not what I mean."
"Your decision is one, that is to accept it."
The Count looked chaotic, although he did not know who this young woman was but the familiar feeling he released said the count with the man the original owner of this battle building.
"What's your decision?" ask Dusk after a moment of silence.
"Is it possible that this woman and that man are one?"
The Count thought seriously, he knew one fact if the man who owned the original building knew his true identity so he decided to sign the cons for life because he could not argue at all.
If he did revolt then all his family and relatives would be killed by the mysterious man.
The Count momentarily glanced at Dusk, he began to squint his eyes to look at the details of the face closely.
"Nobody has ever joked with me about a gallows except this woman."
Count Servan recalled the words of Dusk shortly after entering this room. No one knew that the punishment for the criminal was hanging.
"Alright Miss," Count Servan had already decided to go with the flow. He was afraid that if he turned around, the sharp sword would slash his neck quickly.
"I want you to give me another week the actual situation regarding the building. And also I need five people, I don't mean three boys and three girls. They were children who had at least been at level 2 and 3.
"None Miss. You can wait for the good news next week."
"Good I like it."
After Dusk came out of the black market, he headed straight for the carriage park. There he saw some pedestrians walking down the hallway with a lethargic face.
"From next week you will be living in the village with the 6 children. You'll train them to read and write, and then report to me their progress every day."
"Well Miss, as your orders."
"Dian, send a letter to Eza to keep an eye on the eastern region until I order them to stop, only then can they return to my side."
