4 days after the explosion - back alley

The prince got kick out of the shop after a few drinks. The old man enjoyed talking to him and the prince didn't mind staying there until the afternoon, but like it or not, the old man had to work at night and sleep at day, so he needed to sleep a couple of hours and even if he liked the prince, he couldn't leave him alone in the shop and he needed to be open for business at sun down, so he kick him out.

Now, the prince was in serious troubles, he couldn't return to the castle since he wouldn't be able to escape in the evening to talk to guisu the thief. The problem was he had to do something until the evening and he couldn't just walk around, since he knew that with his "great" luck this last few days, something bad would happen.

Thiefx3 suddenly appear!

"Hello boy, that's some nice cloth you are wearing"(thief a)smiling to the prince

"Can't you spare a few coins to us poor fellas"(thief b) took a knife out of his pocket

"I am sure you got some coins from the old man, or even something nice to loan to us, we will give it back, right boys?"(thief c)

"right"(thief a,b)

yeah, maybe I shouldn't have drunk so much with the old man, this could get dangerous(prince)

The prince started to ponder on his limited options

"Como on guys, the old man will get mad if you stole one of his clients, and you wont be able to sell him stuff"(prince)

It was a sound arguments, since the old man have a no crime rule near his shop, and if you got caught, you were in for a serious beating and compensation.

"The old man is sleeping now, and if we make sure you can't talk, everything will be fine, right?"(thief c)

As soon as he throw the coins, he started running to the other side of the alley in hope of leaving them behind. The plan didn't work as he hope, since one guy stayed to collect the coins while the other 2 chase after him.

why did i have to run into smart thief's!!!!!(prince)

Normally he would have outrun them or even beat them since 2 against 1 wasn't really hard since he have good equipment and training, but he was kind of drunk since the old man brought the strong stuff and even with his liquor party training, he was affected a little.

Now he was having problems keeping his balance while trying to run at full speed in hope(unsuccessfully) of losing the 2 thief. After running for a minute, the prince chose to change tactics

The prince suddenly stop after turning in a corner and faced the two guys. The 2 thief also stopped and they put their guard up ready to react to whatever surprise the prince got for them. Well, at least they tought they were until the prince gave them an evil grim, and with a hand over his stomach and a green face, the two thief's suddenly went pale after guessing what was coming

"blarghhh"(prince)

The prince suddenly vomit all the content of his stomach into the knife guy, splashing a little in to the other one. The knife guy looked at his shirt filling disgusted, and while trying to take the vomit out of it, he forgot to keep track of the prince. The other thief tried to get away from the knife guy in shock of watching him get completely soak in vomit, but before he could even register tat the prince was also there, a fist went directly to the chin of the knife guy, follow by a punch directed to his face that he didn't even thought of dodging.

Well, that could have gone worst(prince)

The prince felt a lot better after throwing up but he still wasn't at 100%. He checked on how the two of them were after the punching, and found that one of them was still groaning in pain so he gave him another punch to the face with the combo of the head hitting the floor and completely knocking him out.

He started to check their pockets in search for valuables in "compensation" for what they put him through. He didn't even finish searching the first guy when he heard the third guy footsteps and his sudden stop when he turn in the corner to find the prince searching the pockets of one of the thief in the floor.

oh yeah, I forgot about the 3 guy(prince)

Luckily, the prince found out that the guy had the coins in his hand, since he probably didn't have the time to put them in his pocket and follow without losing sight of them. He saw a good opportunity and while keeping a low stance, he went for the third guy

The thief manage to react a little and let go of the coins in his hands and tried to punch the prince, but the prince was faster that he expected and the thief received a punch to the stomach, got his fist dodged and took a second blow to the chin.

Not satisfied with beating the 3 guys a little more after being down, the prince took all their valuables,got them on their underwear(except the vomit guy, he didn't want to touch the shirt full of vomit) and throw their cloth in a dumpster

This will teach them a lesson about pissing me of and disobeying the old man rules(prince)

Felling a lot better after vomiting the alcohol, moving a little and releasing the last few days of stress, he happily went to the main street while whistling a song.

Finally, time to enjoy my freedom(prince)

Every time he got, the prince would go to town and after selling his stuff, he would go around and do all kind of thing to pass the time. He even got an adventure ID and got a C rank level(with his fake name).Even for someone like him(lazy bastard), there was some childhood dream of becoming and adventure and doing adventure stuff. He even got to do the typical goblin extermination that every men dreams of doing at least ones,taking advantage of one of the palace secret passage (since he would have to leave town at least for a day, and go to the door check point otherwise) killing five goblins and cutting their left ears as proof

He started as a E rank member like every one else, but getting from E to C wasn't that hard, since all E request were errands and he got a lot D and C requests for alchemy stuff, or even some thief or city monster subjugation. To get to B rank and beyond, the number of request capable of being complete entirely in town were too few and with a lot of competition. So if he wanted to rank up the prince would need to get out-of-town and since the missions got really dangerous at that level, the prince was happy with his rank with no chance of getting a promotion in the near or even the far future if he could help it.

His plans for the day were simple. He would kill time around town watching the different stands and maybe do a request in the adventures guild if he had the time, and when the evening, he would look for guisu and ask about the robbery.

Well, that was the plan, until he saw 5 familiar girls he knew, and his face turn completely pale.

Note:the game reference are a joke and not the fighting stile of the world(just to be clear)
