" He will understand if they explain why, Alekus just caught him off guard , Honestly it didn't even dawn on me until my dad said something that I could feel Alek's power. I guess because I know he's a good kid why it doesn't bother me, My dad don't know him so to suddenly have dark magic enter the room it was startling for him" Avalon said. " Considering most people who use dark magic back in Gillina worked for the Demon King Dimisious its odd to run into someone who isn't one of his puppets " Avalon said
"Perhaps I should have explained that Alekus was cursed with this black magic. I'll have a quiet talk with Kava later today or tomorrow. I just don't want any fighting is all." Albert spoke quietly as they arrived in town and at the Inn.
There were 2 men who were in an heated discussion next to a stack of trunks. One was older and quite shaggy while the other one had longer hair but younger. The argument was silent so no one would hear it but if you attuned to their magical wave length, you could hear snippets of their argument.

Avalon blinked and looked at Albert " is that who were meeting?" She asked jestering to the two men.
"I am afraid so. Must be one of their intellical magic discussions or Stephanwolfe brought too much. Perhaps both." King Albert spoke softly.
*Enough is enough. I have a lady friend with me so please settle your differences later.* King Albert spoke to them.
Wolfegang and Stephanwolfe turned towards the carriage. They quickly changed their expressions into pleasant smiles.
"Come and meet them. They are not as bad as they seem. Wolfegang is a cousin of mine. Stephanwolfe is 2 years older than Kadern." Albert spoke to Avalon.

" Hello " Avalon said with a soft smile as she stood along side Albert " Its nice to meet you both" She said
"This is my Grand Lady Avalon. Her father is also with us at the castle.
I do have a few requests of the two of you. One. Keep your squabbles to a minimum. Two. Be respectful to all. Three. I would like for one of you to tutor one of my ladies.
Agreeable?" Albert spoke quietly with a firm stern voice.
"Agreeable to one and two but not three. I am retiring totally." Wolfegang spoke.
"I am agreeable to all three. Does this lady have anything?" Stephanwolfe spoke as he smiled.
"No not a thing. I will allow you an allowance and you may purchase the things that she will need including lab things. There are several shops in town where you may browse for supplies. Here is the letter of accepting the charges at the two stores named. Be frugal but get what you need." King Albert spoke.
"You may go now so that you will have what you need and what she needs to learn with and start a lab. The stores will be closing early so make your choices quickly. The great snows are coming."
"I understand and will do my best for this lady." Stephanwolfe spoke and bowed to the king and picked up Lady Avalon's hand to kiss.
"I shall see you later as well. "
Stephanwolfe left quickly to do his shopping.

She remained quiet as thay talked and once there conversation was over Avalon turned to Albert " They seem nice, so.. shall we find the doctor now?" She asked him
"Yes, Lady Avalon. We should go at once. Eric! Load up the luggage and take Wolfegang to the castle. Have James take care of settling him in his room. After unloading, meet us right here. I am not sure when we will be back and when Stephanwolfe will be back. Load up what he has unless it is being sent on to the castle." Albert spoke then held out his arm to Avalon.
"Yes, your highness." He sat a couple trunks on the ledge then upwards to the roof. He was quite strong and agile.

Avalon took his arm and smiled " Lead the way" She said not sure were to go from here.
a young Slaver came into the city riding on a carriage, but the difference was the back was converted into a cage, inside was a black hair women with golden eyes.

"Just a minute, Avalon......." King Albert's eyes narrowed in a cold stare.
"I shall be right back."
He walked up to the caged carriage.
"Driver ho! I would like to speak with you."
"I shall be right back."
He walked up to the caged carriage.
"Driver ho! I would like to speak with you."
The Driver stopped " Yes?" He asked looking at him.
"Where are you bound and is this slave girl sold?" he demanded with cold authoritive voice.
" I'm heading for Seleg but I stopped here to replenish my supplies" The man replied " and no shes aggressive and i have yet to sell her.. why are you interested?" He asked getting down off the cart
Zariel huffed " he's still but her over me kicking his ass.." She said
Zariel huffed " he's still but her over me kicking his ass.." She said
"Mind your manners when you speak to a King. Of which I am." Albert sharply reprimanded the slave.
"I understand. How much for the slave? I wish to purchase her and train her for the Royal Castle."
"I understand. How much for the slave? I wish to purchase her and train her for the Royal Castle."
The slaver thought for a moment before replying " Hmm... 17 silver" He said with a soft bow of the head " i'm sorry for not realizing of whom i speak to " He said, though he clearly really didn't care
"The crown should have given you a clue. Take her to the back and door of the castle.
Ask to speak to James. Tell him to do the usual. Obey his orders." Albert took out his money bag and pulled out the silvers and counted them into the man's hand.
"Do not cross me or you will me back triple. I can tell when you use them until you have delivered the slave girl to the appropriate person. Understood?"

The slaver nodded and got back onto his carriage after taking the money and headed to do as told
Avalon looked slightly confused at Albert " do you plan on freeing the poor girl?" She asked him
Avalon looked slightly confused at Albert " do you plan on freeing the poor girl?" She asked him
"Indeed I shall. But first things first. I must be sure that she is loyal to me. WIlling to do the job that she is assigned to. And a few more things. I hope to free in due time. But she will be treated well.
Where she will be kept has a clean bed, table, chair, lavatory and will be fed on decent fare. She will be fine.
Now to the doctor Quinn. He is an older doctor but one day he will retire or die. But he is one of the best around. I need to find a new one and soon." King Albert spoke as he guided her to a small door between 2 shops.

She nodded softly " Alright, its horrible when people try to sell others its just not right" She said sighing as she followed him " If he loves his job hell probably die doing his job" she chuckled
The Slaver got to the back door and knocked on the door and waited when someone open the door he asked for James.
The Slaver got to the back door and knocked on the door and waited when someone open the door he asked for James.
"That is true. He is not married and works day and night. He will die before he retires. And I wonder why the door is locked. Normally, it is unlocked so that anyone can go inside for help." King spoke as he looked around a bit.
He finds a notice that said that the doctor had left town for the season of Blowing Snow.
With a heavy sigh, King Albert showed Avalon the paper.
The castle door open and a man spoke with a stern voice.
"What do you wish?" he spoke simply but authoritatively.
