As soon as he walked into the inn, Ken placed Richard with his back leaned against the wall. Richard let out a weak cough and tried to speak, but Ken stopped him.
"Don't waste your strength, you took a heavy beating."
"Pretty nice that you saved your friend kid, but now you done pissed off the royal guards," Grey Beard said and folded his arms.
"They are gonna be back soon and they'll come for you. This time they'll make sure they get the job done," he said and then walked closer to Ken, "I suggest you get on out of here as soon as you can."
Ken understood that Grey Beard was only being thoughtful and giving him the right advice that this time required, so he did not get pissed at him. But regardless, he had no plans to leave the city because of what some guards wanted to do.
"I don't have plans to leave, I have quite a bit to do in the city and I'll have to stay for a long while.
But you don't have to worry, whoever comes, I'll deal with them," Ken said.
