《The Tale of Gael》Caretaker - Chapter 4
Advertisement
Gael had spent his last days at the University planning for his journey. Now Gael was travelling again. He was able to ride on the back of wagons for the most part, but he had to continue on foot. Gael didn't mind travelling on foot. It got him everywhere he needed to be in his life. But now it had started to rain. Gael wore his cloak and his leather backpack kept him and his belongings dry. Along with those there now dangled an old clerk’s shoulder bag on his side, which Estelle had given to him. It contained the case file and all of the plans and notes Gael had gathered for his journey. Gael played with the thought of writing to his brother. It had been almost a month since he had left the farm. Though he and Gael didn't always see eye to eye, Leanhan was a good man. When they were much younger Leanhan spoke of a second farm. He had his eyes on a plot on the other side of their village. Their father Bois always loved it when Leanhan was ambitious about the farm. Regrettably their father got ill around that time. When their father died, Leanhan never spoke of his ambition again.
After a few hours Gael walked into a village. The sun would set very soon, so it was about time he arrived. The pouring rain made the village look gloomy. It was preparing for the night and its people were closing windows and getting inside. Gael decided to follow their lead and looked for the Inn. He strolled through the muddy streets until he came upon a building which looked like an Inn, but there was an armoured guard in front of the building. The guard looked very annoyed with having guard duty in the rain. The man wore a lot of bright blues on his armour that made him seem almost royal. He looked out of place in such a village. Gael doubted if he should try to enter the Inn or search another place to spend the night. But then the guard noticed Gael and he beckoned him to enter.

Gael entered the inn and the smell of hot food welcomed him. There were more blue dressed guards inside. They didn't pay much attention to Gael. Gael hanged his cloak by the fire and found himself a comfortable place at the bar. When he looked around he saw that the guards stood near a table where a man was rummaging through some documents and books which the table was full off. At the table sat a woman with long black curly hair. If her face was as beautiful as her hair Gael couldn't see because she was sitting with her back to him. Gael’s staring got noticed because the Innkeeper hit the bar in front of Gael with his hand.
'Can I help you?’
Startled and a bit agitated Gael ordered some food and a drink. After he was done eating he got his notebook from the shoulder bag to look at his journey for the next day.
'Ah a fellow researcher?'
The curly haired woman was standing next to Gael at the bar. She was a middle aged beauty and despite her black hair she had bright blue eyes.
‘Oh, yes, I’m working on a case for the University’, Gael said as he closed his notebook.
‘Don’t they have clerks for that?’
‘Well they have sent clerks but they failed and professors wouldn't bother, so they’ve sent me.’
'And you can do it?'
‘I think I do.’, Gael said, allowing himself to boast a little. The woman replied with a sarcastically impressed nod.
‘You don't look like that much of an adventurer to me.’
That hurt Gael a little, but he played along.
‘I don’t?’
‘Sometimes you’ve got to be bold, take risks. You seem like a careful man to me.´

‘Maybe that will work to my advantage’, Gael replied, still a bit hurt. He decided to turn the conversation around.
'I saw that you were digging around in some books yourself. Any interesting finds?'
'None that I am allowed to discuss with you,’ she answered.
Gael looked behind her and he saw the guards playing cards.
'Your blue friends would betray that you work for some nobleman.'
'Oh I you could say that', The woman said with a crooked smile.
‘I am an imperial inspector. So that nobleman would be our Emperor, Ritz Unipiller’, she said. Gael recoiled as he released the status of the woman. Imperial inspectors took their orders directly from the emperor himself. They seek out corruption and criminals. They are feared by dukes and lords alike. Gael surely didn't expect to stumble upon one in a village like this.
‘My apologies, please forgive my curiosity. I did not know.’
‘You asked and I answered’, the inspector said with a satisfied grin. She clearly enjoyed toying with Gael. He was still flustered as her demeanour wouldn’t make him think she was of high status.
‘What is your name?’, The inspector asked.
´I’m Gael‘.
‘Well Gael I wish you luck with your case. That we might meet again.’
‘Thank you inspector’, he said and hesitantly added: ‘I hope your research goes well’, swallowing the urge to ask her for her name. She nodded thankfully and left the bar to disappear in a room on the other side of the inn, next to where one of the blue guards sat.
The next morning when Gael left his room he saw no trace of the inspector or one of the blue guards. Gael felt slightly disappointed, but he put those thoughts aside. Because after a few hours of travelling he would arrive at the town of Yeavinkhall.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
