Chapter 86
After an early dinner, Zayne and Finn headed back to their camp but first made a stop at the town guards.
"This is it? It looks so shabby. Maybe I am just judging everything because I like to think nowhere is better than home but it is shabby, isn’t it?" Finn asked.
It was his first time seeing where the town guards gathered and he wasn’t impressed.
"This town is said to be one on the poorer side with not too many nobles so it is expected that there isn’t much care about how this place looks. I don’t have any hope," Zayne said, already annoyed and he was not yet inside.
Finn stayed close behind Zayne as they already gathered attention from the guards outside and the townsfolk walking by.
There had been a standoff the day they arrived in this town as the guards received late notice that Zayne and his soldiers were to come here before heading to the palace.
"You there, stop!" A guard ordered the two. "You are not welcome here. What gives you the right to walk in here as you like?"
Zayne stopped and looked down at the sword pointed at him. It would have been better to point a gun at him. "Careful with that before you hurt yourself. Is this not where you are to come to ask questions concerning the town?"
"It is where people of this kingdom come to ask for help."
