Upon entering the inn, Gerald saw the innkeeper and called out, “Evening! Any available rooms, boss? We have four people and we require two rooms!”
Looking at them, the innkeeper then asked, “Before that, where do all of you come from?”
While Gerald and his party were rightfully startled, Gerald simply smiled before replying, “We’re… From Swindawn City! We’re just here for leisure!”
Hearing that, the innkeeper then nodded before saying, “Very well, then. Here are your two room keys! Your rooms are at the end of the corridor on the second floor!”
“Appreciate it, boss!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com took the keys and began leading his party upstairs.
Following the innkeeper’s directions, the group then made their way to the end of the corridor. The ladies were to sleep in the room on the left while Gerald and Rey would sleep in the right one.
Regardless, Gerald quickly locked the door behind favonovel.com once favonovel.com and Rey had entered.
Now that they had privacy, Rey was prompted to ask, “…I’m not sure if you’ve noticed this, but people in this town seem to give outsiders like us strange looks… The innkeeper was no exception either…”
“I have, and I have a gut feeling that the innkeeper isn’t a good person either. With that in mind, let’s take turns sleeping and keeping watch over the situation. I’ll be first to keep watch, and we can switch places later in the night,” suggested Gerald.
“Sounds good!” replied Rey, feeling much safer now that Gerald had suggested that.
At that moment, knocking could suddenly be heard coming from Gerald’s door.
Raising a slight brow, Gerald then asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s the innkeeper! I’m here delivering some warm water!” replied the innkeeper as Gerald and Rey exchanged glances with each other.
Signaling for Rey to open the door, Rey then did as favonovel.com was told.
With the door now open, the innkeeper then entered with a kettle of hot water before placing it on a table.
Watching as the innkeeper smiled at both of them, Gerald then faked a smile as favonovel.com said, “My, my! How thoughtful of you to deliver hot water to us!”
Chuckling in response, the innkeeper then replied, “It’s only right for me to do so for my customers! Regardless, I’m here to tell you not to head out the inn at night… It’s not too safe out there in the dark. Try to just stay in your rooms!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald and Rey exchanged glances again, wondering what the innkeeper was on about.
“Boss-”
“Got it, boss! We appreciate the warning!” said Gerald as favonovel.com cut Rey’s sentence short.
Nodding in response, the innkeeper then replied, “Good to hear! Also, if there’s anything you need in the night, don’t hesitate to call me!”
After saying that, the duo then watched as the innkeeper left their room…
Stepping out to make sure that the innkeeper had gone downstairs, the confirmation that favonovel.com was really gone made Gerald breathe a sigh of relief as favonovel.com closed the door again.
“About what you did earlier…” muttered Rey.
“Some things aren’t meant to be asked so bluntly, Rey. Remember that,” said Gerald.
Briefly nodding, Rey then asked, “Got it, brother Gerald. Either way… After what just happened, do you still think that the innkeeper is a bad person…?”
