Chapter 56: The ViTech Family
The next day, Vivian visited Voros at the guest house.
"ANIMAL... NO... SHOES!"
Seeing the mad Duergar throwing a fit at the servants, Vivian signaled them all to stand back.
"Your Ladyship, I am afraid we are unable to make this savage learn anything about the simplest of manners. The Lord has instructed us..." One of the footmen approached Vivian with a terrified face.
"That man you just called savage is an important guest and deemed worthy enough to be let in the guest house by your Lord. Are you saying that the Lord would invite savages to his house?" Vivian asked with an angry face.
"I... am..." The footman became flustered immediately and looke between Voros and Vivian a few times before falling silent.
"I was just messing with you. He’s giving you quite the tough time, isn’t he?" Vivian immediately eased up the tense footman.
"Oh! My lady, I was..." Relieved, the footman looked at Voros and nodded, "He’s quite dreadful, honestly. Keeps calling himself the Animal, can you believe it? His teeth and nails are sharpened like one even... and twice as dirty. He chomped off a candlestick earlier as if he was eating raw butter."
"God! Glad he didn’t start biting flesh."
"We are all touched by your concern, my Lady. Though this may require a rougher touch, may I suggest? Shall I call the guards? They can restrain him while we shave and pave him."
"Ha! Nice one..." Vivian laughed at the phrase used by the servant then looked at Voros, "Well, rather than rough, let’s try a softer approach first."
