After long wanderings and battles with monsters, Teran and his son Victor finally returned to Vermund, which has already become almost their home.
Along the way, they sold everything they could find and stocked up on provisions for the new journey. But one day, when they were at the market, they were attacked by a group of goblins and a giant cyclops right in the center of the city. Teran and Victor dealt with them quickly, but surprisingly, why didn't the guards intervene? How did goblins and such a huge cyclops end up in the city in the first place? It was strange, and Teran decided to appeal to the king.
Teran came to the ball of the nobles in luxurious clothes and a mask. Of course, it was difficult not to notice the two-meter catman, but they let him in anyway. Rich clothes and courteous manners helped him avoid problems, as well as a connection with a knight at court.
He made his way into a secret room, where he was almost discovered by the guards, but the owner of the brothel covered him up in time. She was charming and influential, and the guards disappeared instantly, and Teran found out about the palace intrigues through the beautiful spies of the brothel owner.
The bandera allowed Teran to visit his establishment. But the services of only one girl were worth a full set of good armor or a small house in the slums, but the elderly catman decided that it was worth it, not thinking that his son, a warrior, needed new armor, which the griffin tore the day before when Victor was covering Teran.
To get a discount on escort services, Teran presented the girl with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It was a nice and gallant gesture, but the discount was never given.
The disappointed old man spent time with the girl, thinking that such money was wasted and that Victor would not praise him.
