CHAPTER 2

In the distance you can see soldiers riding on horseback, in a matter of minutes a cavalry arrived, the commander of the 6th garrison showed up  "I am almir commander of the garrison, friendly citizens of the village, as is customary it is the beginning of the month,  so we come for the right of living quota, make lines around the carts and proceed with the payments," the traveler was unfazed, as a statue, in  that I notice at the beginning of the line the family to register  first,  it turned out that the 2  young people were children of the manager of the villa, the traveler did not take their eyes off  them. 

While the family of the manager of the villa was searching, the object they had stolen from  the traveler's backpack the commander recognized him, "fence, what a surprise, we have thieves among us," the young men were frightened, by the fact that they two were the thieves  of the villa, one of the young people  "that speaks sir," the commander "I talk about you carrying that" pointed out a pendant that carried on  it  a chain, the other young man replies "sir, that necklace we found in a backpack of a traveler," the commander "of a traveler! If, of course, a gentleman of such a high level, would come to this villa, give me that necklace or  return it to whoever stole it, I will let it pass, it may be a  familyrelic," the villa manager says to the commander "excuse me, but that necklace that is?" the commander "to put it in a way that you understand, it's from a gentleman, of a great level, you're given that sword under oath of blood, which only they can use, it's a present of the court of knights and magicians," the villa manager, he just kept what he wanted to say, when it was the turn of the old man's family, a soldier says to him "I'm sorry,  but for people his age  rose  to 2 silver, not 2 copper," the old man's daughter, "but...,  the others were charged 2 copper per adult and 1 copper per child, it's an injustice," the soldier "you know... we daily face ruffians, who are able to enter your house, take you by force and make you his own," the old man was  annoyed  "that is an injustice, as  you  dare  to disrespect my daughter," another soldier with a spear tried to hit him, the traveler stopped the spear "excuse the irrational anger of my  father,who  is  the money they ask for, also an extra for the actions of my father, they (I make a bow) I ask you to apologize" the soldiers  took the bag with the money and saw inside it, the soldier "yes, okay,   you can retire," the traveler took the old man's shoulders and took him out of the tent they were in,  the old man "How much did you pay?" the traveler "better tell your daughter that you do not want to haggle with soldiers, they are very despotic and daring, they could get into trouble with them," the old man "if I know, but how much money  was in that bag?" the traveler "little, they are only copper coins dyed with silver, it is an essential trick, but since they are not merchants, they will not notice it, look, all the money is thrown to the same place, that should not be done," the old man "How    not?" the traveler "no, for this a person comes to collect the taxes, he has to place a badge that the king gives them to be able to exercise that work, "  the old man "go like, despite being a traveler you know a lot about real and bureaucratic things," the traveler "let's put that aside... by the way  leaving aside whether or not I know, my name is  Set  ," the old man "good  Set , my name is Mathew from Doron's house, it's a pleasure,"  Set "the pleasure is mine," Mathew "look at the truth, we have no money or how to pay you, the only way is to give you a place to stay if you plan to spend more time in the villa,"  Set "yes, I accept the form of payment," Mathew "thank you, by the way you will attend the evening tonight," Set "and miss the stories of the past, no, for nothing I miss them,"  Mathew took  Set to the house, "hijas, he is Set , he  will accompany us for a season, "The  eldest  daughter"welcome, my name isMine, she is my younger sister  Aurora," aurora "is a pleasure Mr.  Set  ,"  Set takes off her hood "please don't tell me sir, I feel old, I'm only  19 years old, it's not so much, just call me by my name," Mathew "surprise me, I thought you were  bigger,"  Set "no, I'm a young   traveler," Aurora "excuse me, I don't... young  Set , the son of the mayor of the village asked me to hand him this,"  Set saw it, it was his necklace, "thank you, this is very valuable, it's a memory," Mathew "it's good to treasure memories,"  Set "yes, I was given it by the person who took care ofme," Mathew "if you like to sit down, to talk,"  Set turned around and saw that it was like a tavern, "yes,  okay," they both sat down to talk,  Set continuous "yes, this necklace I gave it, the one I take care of in church,"  Mathew  "How that in church?"  Set "yes,  I do not know if I have parents,  I only know that 19 years ago I was abandoned in the church east of Snowell, only that they told me," Mathew "and did he always live in that place,"  Set "no, the one who cared for me was a gentleman and taught me everything I knew,but one  day he went out to the outskirts of the stone wall, to carry out a  stagecoach  of the Snowell kingdom, it was if I remember correctly the princess, but I caused some problems and he  stayed  to pay the debt,  when the news reached the church, I escaped, nobody wanted me, since they did not know where to  partencia, it was, no, I am an  orphan,  that's painful, apart from the news a captain of his garrison took me this necklace, he asked him for  that favor, and the captain accepted it, I  after  that, ventured to travel, for everything that  is inside the stone walls," Mathew "then, you have been outside the walls that surround us to the 4 kingdoms,"  Set "if, in comparison, with the outer kingdoms, this is very  small, let's say snowell is the kingdom, the other 4 are rulers or  descendants of the king of Snowell, to rule everything," Mathew "you think those walls are an advantage"  Set I turn to see that no one was listening, "no, those walls do not serve to protect us,  what's more, I think kings give distant villages as sacrifices, in the last 40 years, several villas have disappeared,  I don't know if it will be coincidence but I don't think, they were all attacked by orcs, tackles and ogres," Mathew "haveyou seenthem?"   Set "only from afar, on one occasion, travel in a  caravan  that was  heading  to Demoldor, the dwarf kingdom and we have to  cross through the federation of  monsters, it is very problematic, there is only one lane and you have to wait, but it is better to wait for your pass, outside  the beginnings of the forest,  because  once  entered  it, at night you will not go out alive, there are vests  , even members of the federation who see usas trophies," Mathew "that is  oribe,"  Set "that is nothing, when we came back, we were made at night and some trasgos attacked us, killed 2 of the riders of the  caravan and replaced them, we only managed to get out thanks to the appearance of a clan leader and calm  to his own," Mathew "that's a problem,
