Ravenhold...afternoon

"You...you kill Victor Ash, and all his goons, put an end to his crime syndicate. On top of that...you save thirty eight children that were kidnaped and imprisoned by him...and you do all that...by yourself?"

The Ravenhold's adventure guild branch's guild Master, sit infront of Rouen across his office desk, asking him some question. They were in the guild Master's office, with some guild's executives and hight ranks adventurers.

"Yes sir...i did."

It wasn't me who kill most of them, there's some who gets poisoned in the brothels, but since Luna asked me to take all the credits...

"You!? A bronze rank who just got promoted not too long ago!?" Ask one of the adventurer who seems to be in a silver ranks. "And a solo at that!? You told us to believed you!?" He sounds annoyed.

What's his problem...?

"Shut up Harold!" The guild Master scolded him.

"Si-i'am sorry sir! I just..."

"Just what?" Guild master's eyes sharply looking at his.

"Nothing sir!"

Pffttt...what a funny dog!

"Sorry about that young man..."

"There's no problem sir!"

"Well, i must say...this is one of really great achievement! Let alone you done it all as a solo!" He said with a big smile. "Tessa, bring me that!"

"Yes sir" the old fat receptionist give the guild master some paper.

"For killing Victor Ash, you deserve a rewards of fifteen thousan Karlings and five thousand promotions points, that right?" He said while reading a paper given by the receptionist. "But then you did more than just that! "You kill all his goons, end their groups of crime, and even saved lots of kids...for that i must rewards you too, didn't i?" He look at Rouen and smile, he put down the papers. "How about i just double it all? The rewards will be thirty thousand Karlings and... ten thousand promotion points!"

Holy fuck...that's alot!

Lots of promotion points too!

I know right!?

Hush! Keep your calm!

"That's generous offer sir! I'll take it!"

Rouen said quickly, as exited as he is right now, he maintained his stoic looks.

"Haha! Ofcourse you would!"

"Cehh!" Harold click his tongue.

"What's that Harold?" He ask sharply.

"N-No sir!"

"Hah! You cant help but geting the envy of some people lad! After all...you recieved such a large reward really, haha!" The guild master is about to raise from his sit.

"There's...something i want to tell you sir...a statement i suppose."

Rouen take a piece of document.

"Oh! Really? What's that lad?" He sits back.

"Here sir..." Rouen give the document to the Guild master.

"This is...the Carlstead's ownership document, it's under the name of Victor Ash?" The guild master studied the paper quickly. He's unsure about what's coming.

"Yes sir..." Rouen nods.

"And your statement is?"

"I claim the ownership of Carlstead, to be mine from now on!" Rouen's stated confidently.

"What!?"

"How could you!?"

"What a greedy bastard!"

"The reward wasn't enough for you!?"

"You talk nonsenses!"

The executives and hight ranks adventurers was shocked hearing Rouen's statement, suddenly they were filled with rage and enviness.

"Shut UP!!" *Blam!

The guild master shouts, he slam his desk hard, every one is quite now.

Shit! That scared me!

But i cant back down now!

"Would you explain yourself young man."

He said politely yet intimidating.

"I claim the ownership of Carlsted, because i killed Victor Ash, an outlaw."

"And how you make such assumptions young man?"

"For if it's not me...then to whom do you think it must go? Sir?" Rouen sends back the questions attack now.

"Hmm..." The guild master look at Tessa. "Give me some info on that estate will you."

"Yes sir!" Tessa start explaining. "Carlstead was belong to Carl family to begin with...but somehow, throught whatever reasons Victor got the ownership of the state's legally! Victor is the legal owner of Carlstead sir, and yes he is an outlaw...which makes..."

"That killing him was not a crime, i know, continue."

"And victor doesn't seems to have any heir to inherits the land sir, making it..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough...hmm...i see why you saying all this now young man." His smile is back. "Quite clever of you..."

"How so, sir!?" Harold ask anoyed.

"You all heard him...if it's not him...who deserve to have Carlstead?"

"Well...isn't there supposed to be some kind of law about that? Why would he have it!?" His envious tones could be heard by the whole room.

"Law? What law?" The guild master ask with a serious face. He sees each one of them face to face. "What...law?"

They were all silently thinking, some of them quick to understand, some...like Harold who's a simple minded, still hasn't.

"Have you all forgot where you lived? This here land is called Ravenor! And it has NO ruler! Haha!" He laugh about that. "When it comes to Law and Order, there's just so little differences about this land and the 'anarchy land' itself!" He smirk and continue. "Other land...the nobility usually had a said about that, one that takes advantages of the situations, like how they always are, bah! But here, a land without any nobility left! Govern by the so called 'council' formed by bunch of fat merchants who's cared only for their own profits! Hah!"

They were all silent now, listening to the guild master explenations.

"So...yes! It's not about what i want or dont want...but i do think this young man deserve the ownership of Carlstead, because he's the one who kill it's owner who happens to be an outlaw, and had no heir...so, i say Yes to it!"

Fuck yeahh!!

Woohhoooo!!

"Anymore objections?" Guild master ask.

There's a lot...specially from Harold, but none of them can voice it anymore, they dont have anymore valid reasons to.

"Good! Then now...Congratulations Rouen!

You now the legal owner of Carlstead, and the guild will vouce for that!" He said while giving Rouen his hand.

"Thank you sir!" Rouen's quickly takes the hand and shake it.

"Hah! I always like ambitious young man such as yourself lad!"

"Then i'll be taking my leaving now sir."

"Right...take care out there!"

Rouen bows and leaves the room, he saw some raging envious faces before he go.

Eat shits suckers...

All that done, now...

"Haa...ahhh...ahh...haahh!"

Luna's moans loudly, she holds Rouen's face and kiss him passionately, her hips never stops moving.

"Hgghh...i came!" Rouen's shout.

"Haaahh...that felt so good, love"

.....

"Wait what!? You got the ownership of Carlstead for yourself!?"

"I did..." Rouen's lie in the bed, catching his breath, Luna's on top of him, huging, caressing.

"That's crazy! How you manage to get that? It's one big estate you know!?" Luna ask excitedly.

"By asking...boldly."

Luna stares at Rouen's face for a moment. "You really are something else, love..." She kisses him. Rouen tighten his hold on Luna's exotic body.

"There's a lot of things i need to do..."

"Well...that can wait love...sun's just sets, and you need to rest too. Stay the night with me...i'll make it worth!" She giggled.

That wont be much of resting though...

But i'am not complaining!

Rouen fucks Luna a couple times more before he go to sleep, he released his pent up urge, builded in the face of death, adrenaline rush and desire to live. He fucks Luna's more roughly, he starts choking her neck, pinching her tits harder, slaps her ass, pull her hair...and as far as he knows, Luna loves it all! They understand each other better now. After releasing his seeds inside Luna's for the fifth times, he felt satisfied, and ready to sleep.

Damn...if this happens all nights, i might not able to leave this Brothel...

There's no shame on that...

Luna lights her pipe, and some aromatic candles. Seems she changes the kind of tobacos she's using on her pipe. She inhales it, and exhales it to Rouen's face.

"It'l help you relax my love." She says sweatly.

"Mmm...i like it." Rouen's geting used to it.

Luna gives Rouen to inhales, then she starts huging and caressing his body.

"Sleep now, my love...i'am here with you, always." Then she starts humming a lullaby for Rouen's sleep. Such a sweet and peaceful voices. It has a bittersweet taste of melody.

"Mmm..." Rouen's loves to hear it more...for the first time he felt so relaxed, satisfied, loved...but he soon fade into his sleep.

.....

Morning comes, like always, Rouen wake up first. Luna still asleep, huging him all night. Such a beautiful woman she is.

My woman! All mine now!

That's right! Treasure and protect her!

Say no more...it's done!

"Hmm...ah, you awake my love?" Luna says heavily, she looks half awake. "You want some morning fucks before you leave?" She asked casually, always ready to please.

Damn woman...there's so many stuffs i need to do! Dont tempted me everytime...i wont be able to leave this place!

"Just sleep for now...i'll come back again tonight. You need to rest too, right?"

"Alright then, love...have a good day."

Rouen kiss her farewell...

.....

Rouen arrived home, the kids doing their chores, when they noticed his arrived they welcome him warmly.

"Welcome back mister!"

"Thank Gods you are fine!"

"I'am home kids..." Rouen says. "Where's Noel?"

"He's at delievering."

"I see..."

At lunch, Noel arrived. "Welcome home sir!" He says excitedly. "Did you finish the quest?"

"I did..."

"Great! Then...i can back at recruiting right?"

"That's right lad!"..."and there's evenmore works!"

"Realy? Let's go then!"

Such a spirited lad!

"Right...on to the carriage then."

"Yes sir!"

They get on the carriage. Rouen put a chest inside it. "Where do we go first sir?"

"Closing the deal with Rick's land!"

"Right! Let's go then!"..."should we go to the bank first sir?"

"No, we got all the money here." Rouen's pointed at the chest.

"Ah, you already take it from the bank?"

Nope! "It's a long story..."

"I see..."

The truth is...Rouen is one fucking lucky guy. Finishing the quest of killing Victor Ash, lead him to be quite a rich man! He got thirty thousand of Karlings for completing the quest, but the real rewards comes from his bold statement on claiming Carlstead ownership for himself. The estate is easily worth more than two hundred thousands as it is now, but it'll reach about three hundred thousand when it fully repaired, recovered, and running! Such a grand price for Rouen's boldness and bravery. And as it's not good enough...before Rouen leaves Carlstead, he takes a look at Victor's personal chest in his room, he found bunch of items there, some's useable, some's not really. But one that always be of use, Karlings, he found alot there. Fifty five thousands! The exact numbers of what he own in his bank account, what a coincidence. And he can earn more if he sells the items he found there. Together all combined, from the banks, uncle Mark's, quest rewards, and finally Victor's chest, it all sum up to; one hundred seventy thousands of Karlings!

Rouen's never had that much money before!

"We arrived sir!" Noel says. Rick's farm looks like any normal farmhouse.

"You know what...why dont you do the talking to them." Rouen take the chest and put it besides Noel.

"Eh, me sir?"

"Yes, take this money, and make a deal buying this land on my name...i plan on making you get used to this boy, so you can do this by yourself, when i wasnt around...are you up to this boy?"

"Ofcourse sir! You can always trust me!"

Noel says confidently.

"Good! Now go there..."

"Right sir!" Noel say while hauling the chest, seems a bit heavy on a ten years old.

.....

Rouen wait in the carriage for some times, half an hour, Noel's came back.

"How did it go?"

"All is done sir!" He gives Rouen the due's document of the land.

"Let see...alright! Everything is fine!" Rouen say after seeing the paper. "Then...i can trust you to do all that from now on?"

"Always sir! Always!" Noel's nods.

"Right then...on to the next one we go!"

"Next sir?"

"You'll see...come on."

"Yes sir!"

.....

It takes quite some times for them to arrived at Carlstead. Rouen can see the kids left there...Guild master said, most of the kids were returned to their parents, and they really grateful for what's Rouen had done. But there's fifteen kids who's an orphans or refugees, had nowhere to go.

"Woaa...what is this land sir? It's big, but...why's the crops dying?"

"It's been neglected for some time...and we're to recover this estate, after all...it's ours now."

"What!? Realy? Land this big?"

"Yes boy...and there's some kids i want you to meet."

Rouen takes Noel to meet the other kids that's left in Carlstead. Noel seems quick to pick up his role, comforting them, encourage them, humor them.

I pick the right one!

After some times, Noel's back to Rouen, he knews there's some stories Rouen wants to tell him.

"Okay then, sir...you can tell me the detail now." Noel say confidently.

"Alright..." Rouen takes a long breath before he starts.

Rouen told everything that happens here, and everything about Victor Ash, and everything that bastard did to the kids.

Noel still young, but Rouen trust him, he can take it, he's a strong boy!

"Fuuucckkk..." Noel clenching his fist.

"Yeahh...i know." Rouen understand the boy's anger and disgust.

"And i want you to know, boy...this is it! This is why i do what i did, you ask me once dont you...now you know."

"Yes sir...now i know!"

"Listen to me boy...you are young, but you strong and wise, and loyal! I want to make you my right hand, boy! Because i trust you! I cant do this alone, you know that...i want you to be their leader! Lead them, comfort them, encourage them, like you just did! Keep it up always! Just leave the protecting and providing jobs to me! What do you think, boy?"

Noel looks at Rouen eyes, he's teared up. He hugs Rouen.

"Thank you mister! You are one of millions, no one will ever care about kids like us out there but you!" Rouen's return the hugs.

"I promise you sir! I will do the best i can give! So that we can save more kids out there, poor kids who endure this shity world of ours! Kids who are praying for help, even now! I will do everything i can to help them! I will! I swear!"

I said once again...i make a good choices on this one!

Damn right!

"Thank you for that Noel...we'll do this together now!"
