„Groar!”

„Uuuh... What is it?” Asked barely conscious Nyisa to no one in particular, quickly however, she recognized what’s been happening and jumped out of her bed, rushing towards the room besides her’s.

“M’ Lady! It came!” She shouted, while loudly opening the door with a Bang.

“Auah.... Nisha..? Jush fife mimutes lather okhey..?” Muttered sleepy Nicole with a bit of saliva coming ileout of her mouth, while rubbing her eyes to see who came in, before falling back down on to the king-sized bed.

“M’ Lady! Wake up!”Said Nysa, while shaking the arms of fast asleep Nicole.

“Arrgh!! What is it?! Just let me sleep!” Roared angry Nicole.

“It came. The dragon.”Responded calmly Nysa.

“What? Why?”

“I do not know.”

“Haah… Help me get dressed please…”Asked the sleepy-head.

Walking towards the watchtower, were two young girls - Nicole and Nysa.

Nysa, dressed in her usual maid uniform, with her long, red hair flowing down her back and sides, her blue eyes stood out.

Nicole however was dressed in a sleeve-less, light-blue dress. Her shoulder-length hair was light bronze - the same as her eyes.

As they were walking, the civilians and soldiers were stepping aside to let them pass.

Soon they’ve reached the their destination.

“Hello dragon. What could be the reason behind your visit?”Asked Nicole.

“I came for payment. The Litrea Kingdom’s army has retreated.”

“What! Impossible! It wasn’t even half a day!”Shouted the shocked girl. It’s the first time she heard about the Litrea kingdom retreating without a battle.

“Quite simple actually. I just used the high-ranking non-combatant.”Said nonchalantly the dragon.

“Then I just used her to make them retreat.”

“By ‘her’ you mean the daughter of the military advisor?”Nysa butted in. Hearing that question. Nicole looked at the dragon, expecting answer.

“Indeed, she is.”

“Just how..“She’s been shouting loudly, so it was quite easy.”…did…”Interjected Ryan.

“Now, as to the payment, can you bring it here please?”

“Yes, of course! Men! Bring it here!” Commanded Nicole to the soldiers in the crowd. “Also, tonight, we will feast!” At these words, the crowd cheered and run off to prepare.

“Oh! One more thing.” Said the dragon.

“Yes, what is it?”Asked the city-lord(?) happily, with a brilliant smile.

“Regarding the money, could you use them, to buy clothes?”

“Huh? Clothes? Why?”Wondered Nysa aloud. “Well, I’ll prepare it, but could you tell me how many first? One set of normal clothes, would be up to 10 silver(1g=100s=1000b g-gold, s-silver, - b-bronze), enchanted with size-adjustment it’s around 50 silver. If you add cleaning enchantment it’s 80 silver.”Answered Nysa, including the prices.

“Hmm… How about full thousand. All with both enchantments.”

“T-This… It may be a bit problematic… Our city usually doesn’t need such an enormous amount of enchanted clothes, so it may take time.” Stuttered Nysa, quickly however calming down.

“Then prepare as much as possible for now, oh and add some weapons too please.”

“Very well, I presume that the amount is similar?”

“Yes.”

Hour or two later, the dragon was looking at the piles of orderly placed weapons, clothing and armors.

“In here are 896 sets of double-enchanted clothes, 612 suits of armor and 895 weapons, with about 25 thousand arrows. The weapons were enchanted with sharpness, or durability. Same with armor. The price was deducted from the three thousand, of the reward leaving negative of 220g 70s. Since we were in your care yesterday, we prepared 30% discount, leaving you 745g 51s.” Read Nysa, reporting the amount and the price of this mountain of equipment.

“I see, thank you.”Nodded the dragon. At this moment, the pile lying on the ground suddenly disappeared.

“W-What! What just happened.”Muttered the startled Nicole.

“Don’t worry. I did it.” Responded the dragon, calming the flustered Nicole down.

“O-oh. Well, if that’s so, it’s alright.”

“M’ Lady. Didn’t you forget something?”Reminded Nysa.

“Huh? What did”Nicole stopped for a second.”AH! Mr.Dragon! We, the city of Soulus would like to invite you and your mercenary band to the feast that will be today at noon! Will you come?” Asked Nicole.

“Feast? Hmm… We’ll see. Is that okay?”

“Yes! Just tell the guards at the gates!”

“Ok. Bye now, I still need to talk about it with the rest of my band.”Having that said, the dragon flew away.
