Chapter 72 - Vicar's

It almost took half a minute to arrive at the outer slums area. I never thought that I will be here again, the face that Aliss make tell me all I need to know. I bet that this place ain't like her imagination cause this place was worse than the slums that exist my old world.

One of the guardsmen asign for this job start shouting and called all the people of the slums to gather. Just in seconds, the whole place crowded with people, all of them were skinny and dirty. Just what you expect from the slums.

"Please give us food!"

"My child need some food..." All the people there start begging for food, the guards then just throw away the gold that were the bronze knight reward to the ground.

"Here! Take this gold and buy yourself food..." With that all of the slums people start to fight for the gold that been thrown to the ground. The guardsmen didn't do anything to stop it, they didn't even care.

"Hey! Shouldn't you distribute it one by one... this isn't the way!" Aliss scold the guardsman.

"I'm sorry Lady Aliss, but this the effective way to give them... beside who want to go deeper in the slums." The guardsman respond.

"What! This is outrageous... You see there! there! All of that helpless women could not get the gold you throw to the ground." Aliss pointing her finger towards the women that just wait until the guys finish the fight for gold.

"This is mine!"

"Oh no you don,t! This is for the booze..."

Then one of the woman attempt to get in the crowd where it's full of men fighting that didn't care about their surroundings. Before she could even enter the crowd, she immediately get pushed around by the mens and one of the accidently knocked her in the face. But that man doesn't even care as he was so focus.

Because of that, the poor woman about to fall to the ground but there's a boy that immediately hold her to make sure she didn't fall. In a glance I didn't notice it but after a close look, I realized that I had known this guy.

It was Vicar, the boy who picked me up and shortly and after that throw me away when he heard my owner name Aliss Steenswis. I forgot that he live in the slums, Vicar help the woman and told all of them to wait there.

He then battle through the crowd to get the gold and he did managed to get some. It didn't much but he was able to distribute the gold he get equally to all the women their. They all seems really grateful to Vicar but I did see that he himself doesn't have any gold.

If I was not mistaken, his mother was sick and he really needs the money as he intend to sell me when Vicar pick me up. Yet he give all of them to the woman, it seems that the crowd was getting less as all of the golds was already taken, as time pass by all of them went back to the slums as all of the golds has been picked up.

Vicar then went to that place and search whether there are any golds coins left in that area. I was just about to told Aliss about Vicar and asked her to help him but it seems that my owner walked towards Vicar.

"Here take this..." Aliss give her silver necklace to Vicar. He didn't seems to notice it as he was staring at the ground but when he looked up, he was shock.

"Aliss! wh-what are y-you doing here?" It seems like Vicar already known Aliss, I did remember when I say Aliss name. His face suddenly became pale at that time.

"I'm the one that should be asking you Vicar! Where have you been all this years... you suddenly went missing and when I ask father about this...."

I didn't even know that they already familiar with each other, why does Vicar so afraid of Aliss back then when I told her name. Am I the one who been missing out the detail in here, what happen to them in the past.
