Chapter 306
With my new Slave Master ability which allowed me to locate slaves, finding Faeyna was a breeze. She was still cloaked with her hood down, making sure to hide her identity on the street. If this was going to be a problem everywhere, it might be advantageous to find some kind of ring that affects her appearance. Celeste can lose her wings and fairy features in an instant, either a part of her wind magic or her half-fairy nature. Her true identity as a Fairy Queen was unknown to anyone except the nobles and so she passed as just a regular fairy. Even if she did show her true form, fairies weren’t so uncommon as to elicit cries of surprise. The same couldn’t be said about an elf in this world.
I only realized as I approached that the carriage, she was sitting on was ours. It was full to the brim with foods. She had even gotten a horse. The four girls were especially excited about the horse. As for me, I was uneasy about it. I suppose it would have been bad if I made Terra pull the carriage through the portal, but that still seemed like something that buying a horse made a little excessive.
“Master, I bought every good I could with the money provided,” Faeyna explained. “The carriage is ready, but I don’t see how we can get it back to the Capitol. If your plan is to head back, I’ve gotten no provisions for the journey.”
“It’s fine.” I waved my hand, feeling like a Jedi as a portal appeared in front of the horse.
He was skittish and didn’t want to go inside it. See, this was exactly why horses were the worst. Faeyna made a noise of shock as well.
“Master can really make portals?”
“To any place, I’ve been,” I shrugged. “Let’s go.
The six of us returned to the Capitol city that night. I picked a back alley so that I didn’t run into anyone, but it ended up being a tight squeeze getting the carriage out of it. When we finished rolling up to the inn, it was really the middle of the night.
The innkeeper insisted on housing our supplies and boarding the horse for free. He was still feeling goodwill from a few nights ago. That was good because I had no money at the moment. The goods that Faeyna would sell tomorrow was basically everything we had. Only after tomorrow would I gain a sense of how quickly she could make money for us. I fed the girls what the innkeeper offered on the house.
It seemed like he wasn’t just doing it because we saved the inn. While we were eating, he handed me a letter. He held it reverently in his hands.
“This came for you!” He said, “It has the seal of the royal family!”
Ah, that was right, this guy didn’t know my connection to the prince. I looked at their insignia, which was literally a flag and a crown, and then broke it open. It contained the time and place for the contest tomorrow. There was something added at the end.
P.S. Make sure to bring that elf slave with you!
I grimaced a bit. So, he already knew about her as well? The Prince was well informed. I only bought her this morning and the entire day was spent in another city. I had planned for her to sell all the supplies, but it looked like she had to come with us to the tournament. Thus, I explained to her the situation.
“So, if Master wins, he will become a noble and gain property?” Faeyna asked.
“That’s right.”
“Then… I will do Master proud!” She curtsied exaggeratedly.
Well, since it’s fighting, the other girls will probably have more to do, I should think, but her sentiment was appreciated.
