“How can a young man interrogate a young lady in such a harsh manner? No woman would be willing to marry you.” Red fired at him.“No man will be willing to marry a lying, uncouth woman like you.” “What! I have many suitors pleading and begging me daily to have my hand in marriage. A fool like you cannot even get that chance."“I bet all the men in this village are so blind that they cannot recognize a vulgar woman or is your village short of women with good prospects that they only seek you out.”“If we were to consult a crowd for who is more desirable, they would pick me. Deep down in your heart, you want me but you use a childish scheme to catch my attention but unfortunately for you, I hate girls who throw false accusations at innocent young men.”Red was infuriated. “I'd rather die than to marry a pervert like you.” She grabbed her sister’s hand. “Yellow, let’s go home.”As she dragged her, Yellow noticed a band on Saw’s hand(A/N: Saw is short form for Sawyer.)“WAIT!” She ye

Yellow looked distraught as she was filled with doubt. “Mister Sawyer, as much as I would like to believe you, I may have to agree with my sister. How could milk possibly be the cause of my sister’s illness?”“Finally! You are seeing what I first saw in him.” Red stood up from her sister's bed, prepared to draw a rod when Sawyer spoke.“I am willing to spend one night and one day to confirm your sister's condition. She must not have milk tonight and tomorrow. If her condition remains the same, I will keep my side of the deal.”“Ah, this pervert is trying to pass the night in our house. You think I don't know….”“Red! That’s enough please.” Green yelled, using the last string of energy in her. “You are not the one who is bed-ridden, it is me. I get to decide the stakes. This is not the time for you to be selfish."“Selfish? When have I ever been selfish? I am only looking out for you.”“Bickering with the man that is supposed to heal me is you looking out for me, I see,” She smiled w

Knock!! Knock!!Sawyer banged on a big black gate. He had journeyed to June town within a day, and made his way down to Widow’s camp after a few passersby had described the way to him.The black market was protected with high walls and an iron clad gate. making it impossible for a stranger to get in without permission.A stern looking tall man opened the door.“How may I help you?” he thundered in a thick, intimidating voice.Saw cleared his throat. “I want to buy a map.”The man tried to shut the door but Saw quickly stretched out a banknote of half a teal of silver to him.He snatched it from Sawyer and pulled the gate open for him.Sawyer rushed to his horse cart and drove it into the market.Upon entering the market, his view was very different from what he had pictured it to be.While he stood behind the gate he had expected everywhere to be deserted and he would have to wait the next morning before he could locate the map shop.But the case was different, everywhere was bustlin

“W-ang!” Chi called out slowly.Wang let go of Sawyer’s shirt and rushed to check on his brother.Blood had stopped pouring from his mouth. He quickly wiped the corner of his lips.This was the first time his brother had called his name since he was poisoned. “Are you okay? Can you see me? How is your stomach? Do you feel better?” He fired his questions at him.Chi nodded to show he was fine“He needs to have a full meal as soon as possible so he can regain his energy.” Tears streamed down Wang’s face. They had traveled from Yuki City down to June Town to locate the black market.It took them more than a month because travelers were not allowed to own maps.The best way to get around was to ask strangers for directions, and he was careful to identify the places they had been so they wouldn’t travel in circles.Wang was literate because he served his former master in his official duties, but his little brother wasn’t as he was just a horse cart boy.If his brother was able to drive

Wang knew that Saw’s journey was not an easy one. He had just acquired a map, he would need the help of someone who was well-versed with cities.His brother knew his way around with horse carts. After all, he had served their former master since he was a little boy, traveling around on official trips.Wang himself served as his former master’s aide so he had vast knowledge about so many things.The two brothers had nowhere else to go, but they could easily establish themselves in a small town or village but the favor Sawyer had done was huge. He helped them escape death twice.Sawyer knew it would be hard to talk them out of it right away.“Let’s have this talk later. Chi needs to regain his energy first.” he said then he helped Chi up.“Yes, Master!” The two brothers chorused before going into the cart.Sawyer drove the horsecart slowly as he ruminated over the choice the brothers had made. They knew nothing about him or how far or precious his journey was but they wanted to serve h
