Fate and Crimson Ch32
Arc 3 chapter 32
The Ducher family is a family of noble elves who live in Lotus city and has for years been defending Lotus city and it's people, but there was once a time where the head of the Ducher family Alga was shamefully defeated by the one and only Super Punch himself Albert Rhodes in front of the whole city in a duel and now that same Albert has visited him in his door step.
Alga: what the fuck are you doing here?!
Albert: I just dropped by to say hello!
Alga: I doubt that.
Albert: of course you do, cuz I never drop anywhere to say hello except for Lynn.
Alga: yeah, you always like to ride that dude's dick.
Albert: your language makes it hard to believe that you're an elf cuz elves are a respectable race and you're totally killing that image.
Alga: there's nothing respectable about elves, you humans just like to label things the way you like it.
Albert: whatever, anyways can I come inside?
Alga: no you cannot.
Albert: why?
Alga: cuz I fucking said so now leav—
Milly: Honey! Why are you standing at the door?.. Oh we have a visitor! Why didn't you bring him inside (while pinching Alga's ear)
Alga: ow ow that hurts dear, stop!
Milly: (continues pinching his ear) I always tell you to improve your manners!
Alga: yes yes I get it dear! Oww ow!
Albert just stood there and watched as Alga's pride was bieng smashed into pieces by his wife and there was nothing he could do about it. Alga invited Albert in and they sat down on the couch at the living room.
Milly: can I offer you something to eat Mr Rhodes?
Albert: sure... Uh wait you know me?
Milly: of course I do, I mean I was there when you defeated my husband in a duel that day.
Albert:... Oh I remember you now! You were that guard girl who threw a tomato at me for winning and I remember you had a crush on Alga too, and you're married now! Congratulations!
Milly: yes thank you and uh sorry about the tomato thing... I was young and stupid.
Albert: nah it's cool I get it, I mean I put hands on someone you loved.
Milly: yeah you're right.
Alga: so anyways, what brings you here?
Albert: I'm just here to ask some questions, not much.
Alga: some questions? Coming from you? That sounds serious to me.
Milly: me too, I'm getting nervous.
Albert: well depends.
Alga: so what's the question?
Albert: by any chance do you have a son?
Alga:... Yes two of them.
Albert: how old are they?
Alga: one year old they're twins.
Albert: oh wow congrats!
Alga: thanks.
Albert: so you don't have an older son?
Alga: nope just those two.
Albert: huh? Then who's that guy? By any chance do you have any other relative?
Alga: I have a little sister who I haven't seen in a long time, that's it.
Albert:....
Alga: what is this about?
Albert: this might sound shocking to you.
Alga: I see... You got bad news? Just lay them out.
Albert: there's this criminal group we've been bumping into lately and there is thus guy who goes by the Ducher name.
Alga: Ducher? I see... So some guy claiming to be a Ducher is disgracing my name?
Albert: it would be more disgraceful if he were an actual Ducher don't you think?
Alga: are you saying I have a hand in this?!
Albert: no... Not really, I came here hoping I would get some info on Drogo but I came to a dead end.
Milly: wait? Did you say Drogo? As in... Droga?
Albert: huh? I don't know, who's Droga?
Alga: my sister... But I don't remember her having a child or let alone a husband or boyfriend.
Albert: then you can assure me that she doesn't have a son?
Alga: yes a 100%.
Albert: then... What is her magic attribute?
Alga: dark magic.
Albert: can she summon ghosts?
Alga: yes, she's a master in summoning magic.
Albert: what kind of dress code does she like?
Alga: she likes to dress like a noble man rather than lady like, something like a noble vampire dress code if you get me.
Albert: I see.... You know, everything you just told me matches Drogo but except for one thing... Drogo is male and looks like a bratty 14 years old kid.
Alga:... (sigh) did I mention she's also a master at disguise magic?
Albert: if that's so then... That explains a lot.
Alga: (sigh) so Droga is out here doing criminal activities? (with a hand on his forehead)
Albert:... Yeah and that's not all, he— She tried to kidnap my daughter too.
Milly: (places her hand on her mouth) kidnapping?! Now that's way too low even for her!
Alga: yeah but she's always been crazy, it's just that her joining a criminal organization is a surprise.
Milly: but why would she join a criminal organization?
Alga: I can probably guess why.
Albert: oh really?
Alga: yeah, they probably learned of her talents as an alchemist and then offered her an opportunity to expand her research. She would take that kind of bait anytime.
Albert: are you for real?
Alga: 100%
Milly: grrrr that stupid woman!
Albert: I got my answers, but why am I not satisfied?
Alga: probably because the villain you've been investigating has a lame ass back story.
Albert: ugh don't rub it in me.
Alga: hah! You were expecting drama?
Albert:... Kinda.
Alga: too bad.
Milly: this is serious you know! Your sister is a criminal!
Alga: what can I do about?
Milly: I don't know... I'm just worried about her.
Alga: it's okay dear... We'll find a way.
Albert: I guess this is it for me.
Alga: well, for how long will you be in the city?
Albert:.... Hey can I ask for a favor?
Alga:.... Sure what is it?
Albert: well to tell you the truth, I'm Actually traveling with these kids and I was..... I was hoping we could stay at your place for a bit.
Alga: how shameless of you! There's no w—
Milly: of course! You can stay, we would love to have you around.
Alga: what?! No way, think about this Milicent dear! There's no way I can leave in the same room as this guy!
Albert: don't worry, we won't munch you guys, we got our own money so we're kinda sorted.
Alga: that's not the point!
Milly: come on dear, what do you have to loose? I mean it's so lonely around here with just me, you and the kids, it's about time we have some people over. This house is way too big for just the four of us.
Alga:... Damn it! Fine but how long will you be staying over?
Albert: about 2 weeks.
Alga: TWO WEEKS!!!
Albert: what? I thought time moved too fast for elves.
Alga: nah don't give me that!
Milly: wow that's great!
Alga: huh?! Why do you keep supporting this!
Albert: uhh... Alga dear I love you but... You're little bit boring.
Alga: huh? But I thought you liked my energy and jokes.
Milly: your energy and personality yes, but your jokes no, you always tell warrior and military jokes!
Alga: but you were a warrior too.
Milly: no I was just a city guard! There's a big difference!
Alga: fine... You guys can stay over, but you do whatever I say and obey the house rules.
Albert: sure no problem for me.
Alga: I hope your group doesn't cause trouble.
Albert: don't worry about them, they mean good I promise, they're just a little weird.
Alga: the "weird" part makes me worried but what ever, just tell me more about them.
Albert: sure, but we'll be coming in tomorrow, for now let's talk more.
Albert got his information on Drogo but less on the Red Hand, now he enjoys his evening with an old rival as they talk about a lot of things to catch up on.
On the other side of the city Sion and Martha were having a nice chat at the park and enjoying a their night stroll as they get along the whole night... But Sion thought of testing his feeling from earlier and see what is this strange aura this woman is emitting from her hands...
