Act 2

On the top floor of the city hall, a large, bearded man sat on a three-person couch in front of us. “Man, you guys really are just kids.”

“We may not look it, but we’ll be adults this year,” I replied with a frown.

“Hmph, turnin’ fifteen doesn’t mean you’re not a kid. You’d just be an errand boy in a real party.”

“I suppose it must seem that way from your perspective, Council Chairman Cyrus.”

This time it was Cyrus’s turn to frown. Rakana was a free city, meaning it had no lord. It had grown out of an encampment for adventurers looking to challenge nearby dungeons, and between that background and the disposition of its inhabitants—ruffians capable of hunting monsters—it had long remained free from the feudal system. The city was managed by a group known as the Rakana City Council, and Cyrus served as both chairman of the council and as the head of the city’s government. In other words, the bearded man before me was the collaborator Fiona had spoken of.

“Don’t call me ‘Chairman.’ That title’s too pretentious for me. Only the councilors themselves are allowed to call me that.”

“Then what should I call you?”

“I don’t care, long as it ain’t ‘Chairman.’ ‘Boss,’ ‘Sir,’ ‘Mayor,’---whatever makes you happy. Though technically we don’t have that position.”

“Then ‘Mayor’ it is.” That was probably what most people called him.

Cyrus snorted. “So, is it true? You made a mess of the imperial capital and fled the country here?”

Amyu went stiff from nervousness next to me. Fiona seemed to have told him about us without hiding anything, perhaps even before Amyu had been abducted.

I gave a small sigh. “Of course not. I only made a mess of the palace. And I put it back the way I found it before we escaped.”

“Ha ha ha!” Cyrus suddenly burst into laughter, his mouth open wide. “You’re a funny kid! That princess sure did send someone crazy my way. Maybe I oughta hand you over to the military before somethin’ happens to Rakana! The Hero girl over there too.”

Amyu faced the ground.

“I don’t recommend that,” I said quietly. “At least, if you don’t want Rakana to become a city people only hear about in history books.”

“Ha ha! You talk big, kid!”

“And please refrain from making such tasteless jokes. You’re going to worry my companion here.”

“Your companion? You sure ya don’t mean yourself?” Cyrus asked as though he saw right through me.

I let out a sigh. I was no good at these sorts of back-and-forths. “Fair enough. Then let me ask you directly—are you truly in Fiona’s camp? Are you going to shelter us?”

“Hmph, not a chance,” Cyrus said, taking a puff of his cigar. “First of all, neither I nor Rakana belong to anyone’s camp. This is a city of freedom lovin’ adventurers. We decide everything for ourselves and don’t let anyone’s schemes sway us. My relationship with the princess is only ‘cause it’s mutually beneficial. You get what I mean by that, kid?”

“I wish you’d stop trying to test me.
