Chapter 41: Back to the Guild

Having finished his breakfast prepared by Helen, Joshua put on his freshly cleaned clothes and prepared to leave the house. He was going to fetch Gina, but Fawn informed him that she had already left. With nothing else holding him back Joshua left the house.

The smell of his new bakery filled the air as he walked by it. Timothy and the others had already started the baking for the day. He smiled as he knew this additional source of revenue would be a great boon to him.

He went straight to the lower city guild hall. Tonya was waiting for him at the door.

"It's about time you showed up." She said while tapping her foot on the ground. "Why the hell did you keep me waiting here half the night?! You could have told me you weren't coming back yesterday!"

"Sorry." Joshua said. "Some things happened, and I couldn't make it back."

"Yes, I saw Gina this morning already as she passed by." Tonya said. "I asked her about last night and she told me that you had your first noble duel."
