The Harem King

Chapter 139

"h.e.l.lo there, boy! What are you doing there, almost naked and baked under this frying high noon? Don"t tell me you were also robbed?!"

a man who guarded the wooden gates asked, fully implying that if i answered yes then i was not the original author of such a sorry excuse in this dust-covered day.

He has no armor on and had only worn a casual robe with the town"s insignia on its chest, the curvaceous body of a wine bottle. Very imaginative!

I could see his laughing eyes very well from where i stood. And he indeed has every reason to call me a boy. I had no facial hair and wore the innocent guise of a baby faced adult.

Though i may look like a young child but this body"s age was truly more than what i currently appeared. The years had borne this body"s previous owner with a good 27 years before his untimely demise.

Unfortunately, i only stood five foot flat which was the reason to the obvious misconception.

"Yes, Master Rupert. Indeed i was. I could not believe that those heathens would not spare even this tight a.s.s of mine." i sighed as i shook my head.

"It was only because of my quick mind and feet that i arrived here unmolested. But it was at the expense of my money. I threw away my precious silver coins just to halt my pursuers down.

Would you be willing to loan me some kindness, Master Rupert? I would pay it in the next seven days, I promise!" I bantered with the usual lively att.i.tude of the previous body"s owner.

He was but a breath of fresh air and was a friend to all. Not that he did this because he was a dandy upright man but he knew early on of the benefits of having this particular trait.

It built him valuable connections over time and favorable returns in dire needs. And that att.i.tude that only belonged to the weak would be tested once more at this moment.

"You have my sympathies, boy. But you can"t get a single copper coin from me. My wives are greedy enough to suck me dry of it. Drunkards the lot of them.

They three of them could even drink more then a hundred of myself combined!" the six foot five tall giant of a man replied to me. His height was of course the normal height for adults in this world.

And that said a lot of this my body"s unfortunate circ.u.mstances to begin with. The genes it had inherited from his parents might have been from c.o.c.kroaches and i wouldn"t even be surprised if it were true.


"Go! You get a free pa.s.s today, boy. The next time you better not use the same excuse or might as well spank your bottom to send you off back to your tribe!"

Master Rupert said. I doubted that he believed me but i had sown sufficient goodwill with him in the past years and today that seed had borne its prize.

"Thank you, Master Rupert!" i saluted once and then strode past the hulking figure of the lone gatekeeper. A good start at least. Saved me the 10 copper coins of entrance fee to the town.

Now i just need a hundred silver coins to gain back what i lost. And to get that, some creativity was a must.

With my back straight as an arrow and still hiding beneath the facade of a bright eyed fool, i welcomed the first community before me.
