House Helexis's story page 3

Karigov and Horister made their way to the square, Karigov looked over to some construction workers and requested them to make a small podium. He explained that he will be using the square for multiple purpouses and one of them will be a temporary audiances hearing. One of the workers just looked oddly at Karigov, another asking why they should do such a thing for him.

Mister Horister explained in detail that Karigov Helexis is the new Host and lord of the town, bearing a House title. The construction workers immidiatly moved on the main road to head to the warehouses to collect the matterials for the podium which will act as a military parade stand, a announcement stand and such civil duties that Karigov would see fit for the podium.

"Shall we explore the town further my lord Karigov?" said mister Horister at a length.

"I think that might be wise, showing ourself to the town might prove favourable in the long run and on our first day too." Karigov smiles slightly, he was pleased with what he saw already.

"You there boy come here." Karigov pointed at a boy who was just sitting on the side walk alone, he couldn't have been older than 12.

"Me, sir?" The boy looked slightly scared of Karigov.

"Yes you, come here. I wish to ask something of you."

The boy got up, dutsted off his trousers and walked slowly toward Karigov and then took a bow introducing himself. "I'm Fredrick Joust,merchent's son."

"Well Fredrick, I'm Lord Karigov of House Helexis, first of this name," Karigov smiled slightly at the boy as the boy bowed even lower hearing a house title, "Stand up straight, I'm not here to be a cruel lord, I'm looking for a guide who can lead me threw the city and show me all there is to be seen of this town. Can you do that for me?"

Horister sighed softly. "Is it truely wise to trust a boy to guide us in the town? Who knows for which thieving faction he works for."

"I'm no thief nor will I ever allow thieves near the new lord of this town!" the boy snapped slightly.

"Wonderful then lead us, or rather me, around in the town. Since our good friend mister Horister distrusts young boys as yourself, must be the old age getting to him eh?" Karigov laughed and padded the boy on the shoulder.

The boy laughed slightly too, not in disrespect but at the joke of the lord and the pointed at some buildings telling Karigov what they were.
