The Freed S*aves Became Obsessed

Arpia entered a nearby city on her way to Kassilon.

She had traveled a distance that would take months on horseback in a fraction of the time. Even for someone who could command a Servant, crossing the continent was too much. She needed to rest from time to time.

Elves lived in harmony with nature, but that didn’t mean they camped out in the wild. Even elves preferred soft beds.

Where should I go?

Unlike the Beastkin Kingdom, Bestiana, or the dwarven nation of Doomheim, elves were welcomed in any human city.@@novelbin@@

That was because the spirits they controlled provided practical benefits in everyday life. Many nobles wanted to befriend elves for that reason.

Having an elven friend even raised one’s social standing among the nobility.

To the point that if an elf barged into a lord’s castle and said, "I’m sleeping here tonight," they’d be given the finest guest room.

Of course, Arpia had no intention of doing that.

Narsha had explicitly told her not to.

She had even warned Arpia to grab a random passerby and ask them for the best inn in town instead.

Right now, Arpia’s pouch was stuffed with gold coins.

Since she was naïve about the ways of the world, there was a high chance she’d get swindled. But even if she got scammed, Narsha had made sure she had enough money so she wouldn’t cause trouble.

“Where’s the best inn in this city?”

“If you’re looking for the best, it’d be Golden Star Lodge. The wealthy and nobles frequent the place.”

Arpia asked a random pedestrian and got her answer.

Thanks to her hood concealing her ears, her identity remained hidden.

She immediately made her way to the inn she was told about. Narsha had advised her that if she planned to stay in the city, securing lodging should be the first thing she did.

The Golden Star Lodge lived up to its name. The building shimmered with gold, grand and extravagant. It looked more like a palace than an inn.

“How much per night?”

“Ten gold coins. You’ll have access to a warm bath, and meals will be delivered directly to your room.”

“One night, then.”
