Inside the tavern

While they waited on the pier to went back home, Irene told Ferlin that she wanted to visit May and told may everything, Ferlin persuaded her to let him talked with Carter first and went back to find Carter. First, he saw Phyllis went inside the tavern and a few minutes later Carter too went inside the tavern. Ferlin could only shake his head and sighed, this tavern was a place he visited before with his old friend, Sirius Daly, he later escaped after he found out that this tavern real business was not its food and drink. He went back to Irene and told her what he found, this made Irene became more flustered.
"How could he? Let's change our plan for tonight, We will go to May's house instead."
"Ah… Fine." Ferlin knew his wife, with her current state she would not listen to him for sure.
"By the way, have you ever visited that place?"
"Eh!.... Never." Ferlin coughed and lied to his wife.
*********************************
Carter parted way with Yorko after the later told him that he had a date with some woman, Carter just went inside the tavern without knowing what this tavern famous for. After he met Phyllis, both got out of the tavern but they were called by Roland in disguise.
When Roland arrived at the community, the sun started to fade, the sky turned dark and the people especially male started to gather at the gate of this tavern. Roland gave a signal to Nightingale and asked her to deal with the shop. After a few minutes, the tavern closed and people left, among them is Petrov.
'Hmm? Petrov?' while Roland wondering why Petrov was here, he saw Carter around the vicinity and called him.
"Such coincidence meeting you here, Carter, It is me. You stay with me we have an urgent matter to do." Roland glanced at Carter and asked Carter to stay. To appear at this place was too coincidence, whether Carter joined with Barov or not needed to confirm, so Roland retained Carter and waited for Nightingale.
Roland still didn't change and appear in his disguise form, although Roland's disguise was on Carter knew this was Roland so he went to Roland's side and slightly bowed.
"What's happen, Your Majesty?."
"He will surely fall for 'it is me' scheme, for sure." Roland thought about the old trick used by a con artist that was famous in his modern world but his words after that made Roland curious.
"Your Majesty, Why are you still here?" Carter asked Roland quietly.
"What do you mean? How do you know that I was here before?"
"Nothing, your Majesty. It's just a slip of tongue."
"Don't lie to me, Carter" Roland was pinched by Nightingale, this was her signal that Carter is lying.
Carter knew about Nightingale's ability, so he changed his word. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. In the morning till afternoon, I followed you with Lady Phyllis Lady Elena and Theo to guard you during your trip covertly. "
'Then he wasn't one of Barov's group.' Roland believed Carter's word. And Nightingale didn't pinch him which assured him that Carter did not lie. Tilly's group came after, with Tilly's lip reading skill Roland believe that he would not wrongfully accuse Barov.
When everything was ready, Roland and the rest went into the tavern. The tavern had its first floor for every customer and the second floor for VIP customer only, the first floor served foods and drinks like any other tavern while the second floor was more special.
When Roland entered the shop and the owner of the shop came to greet Roland, he spoke very nervously after knew who Roland is.
"Your Majesty, such an honor for me. How can I be of service? "
"Just leave and bring all of your employers out too, everything here can't leak to the public or any witness."
"As you wish, Your Majesty." The owner did not understand Roland intent but he knew full well that a King's order was something you had to do.
'But I wonder why his Majesty come to my place if he wants me to leave with all of my employees. Also, his women are a lot more beautiful than my girls. Isn't that princess Tilly? Don't tell me that he brings his sister and cover himself in disguise to produce a blueblood royalty here.' The owner thought, he evacuated his men and women in hurry and tried not to look at anyone, he did not want to know any secret of Royal's family and ended up having himself killed.
When his group was the only one left, Roland asked summer to used her ability while having Tilly interpret the scene. He also told summer to show it before the time that Lorgar told him. All the things that happen would be recorded using the crystal to review later at the castle.

While many people found themselves in the problem of their own. Theo and Elena were talking casually on the ferry.
"Common man you really are fun to talk with. Your knowledge on people daily lives is very interesting for me who come from the past."
"It's nothing. Your story about Taqila is also interesting. How much will I get if I live in Tequila's time?"
" Well, around 20 if you only talk about the look but for someone who can make a conversation like you some may pay a lot more, your body looks healthy and seem to be flexible but that will depend on your skill. I would pay for you a lot if I have met someone like you there." Elena spoke about her estimate of his worth and looked at him playfully.
"Hahaha....." Theo laughed but stopped midway as he had a goosebump after seeing masculine man looked at him hungrily.
