Chapter 138: WHISPERS IN DELICIA
A few blocks away from the hunters guild there was a tavern named ’Delicia’. And it was famous for the quality and taste of foods. Though the hall inside the hunter’s guild also provided food, those who had a knack for taste instead of just filling belly would come here.
At this moment the tavern was buzzing with chattering, clinks of mugs, laughter and what not. Warm food sizzled from the kitchen and the scent of roasted meat mixed with freshly baked bread filled the air.
In the middle of it all moved a girl.
She looked sixteen, maybe seventeen, dressed in a plain brown skirt and a cream-colored apron. Her long brown hair was tied loosely behind her neck, and she carried a tray, dodging drunks and weaving through crowded tables in a harmony.
Despite the noise, her smile was gentle. She bowed politely with every order served. Her name tag read simply: Sylvie.
At one corner of the room, a group of commoners were gossiping among themselves.
"Did any of you go to the hunter test today? I heard a twelve-year-old kid defeated a C-class hunter. Damn! I wish I was there."
"No way! A kid?!"
"No it’s true. But that’s not the only interesting thing that happened today. You all have heard about the heir from branch royal family, right?"
"You mean that Lucas guy?"
"Yes. He wanted to show off but lost like a loser. He was pinned down in the ground like a kid being punished for theft."
"Bwahahaha" they all burst into laughter.
