Prev: Zerool's first encounter in Taselak


Gwohadda is a region out of risk by now. Sir Otto fought the sandalakian unit of Pellegrino and even the region has a Sandalak flag, it is controlled by Taselak. The only three taselakian there are Sir Otto, Sir Tsuboh and finally the only infiltrator under the taselakian flag: Zerool... Or at least that's what they think...

The loyalty to Sandalak is absolute in this region, but their sympathy towards us is also very high, although being at war with them. That's strange in an island like this. That's the reason why even though being an infiltrator of Taselak he can more or less walk through the streets without being extremely observed.

But even he had been less trained he reached an acceptable level and tries succesfully twice to steal the gold of Gwohadda. Everything works fine, but the second time he goes out of tax office, someone is waiting for him at the outside.... a cloaked figure with a rose in his hand.

"What the...!!"
"You forgot to tell me your name, Infil..." said the woman he met at his arrival 4 days ago in the capital of Taselak.
"Why should i reveal it to you?"
"Because no man gives a rose without revealing his name..."
"Consider me an exception, honey"
"Ok, if you want it the hard way, let's shout loudly so the guards catch you."
"Do it and it will be the last time your throat is one-pieced."
"You won't dare to..." sais the woman.
Zerool can't see her face good, but he knows she's smiling satisfied.
"Sure?"
"You didn't do it in Taselak, you won't either in... in... wherever we are right now!"
Damn woman, she'll make i get imprisoned again
"So, what do you want?"
"Your name, i already told you"
"Grr... My two options are to kill you or to reveal my name to a non-noble. Be thankful that i don't want to spread your blood in here.... My name is Zerool."
"Much better!"
"Ok, now you are satisfied let's get the hell out of here... this is a sandalakian tax office, and even if this region is controlled by taselakian forces, it's still risky!"
"Don't you want to know my name?"
"Why should I, Lady Vanessa?"

Vanessa's face was now clearly surprised, but once she accepted what just happened the infiltrator had already left...
