Adrian didn’t know if his decision on giving Chance the flower was a good idea. It was the only thing that Haki had left behind, and he gave it away. It was too late to regret his decision, but it was still at the forefront of his mind.

[color=0072bc][i]“You can enjoy the festival, I have some business at the guild so if you need me I’ll be there,”[/i][/color] Adrian said before leaving for the guild. He wondered what they wanted and if he was able to handle it by himself. It was a request from the higher-ups which means it wasn't any normal quest. After a bit of pondering, he decided that it wasn’t doing him any good and he should hurry to the guild. 

It took him a little while to reach the guild due to the massive crowd. Once inside, he made his way to the back where the meeting was taking place. He had only expected the guild master but a man that looked like nobility was also waiting for him.  He was dressed in fine clothing and had an extravagant sword at his side.

[color=f7941d]“Ah, Adrian you made it just in time. This is sir Belmont of house Belmont. He has a personal request for you.”[/color] The guild master said. 

[color=ed1c24]“It is a pleaser to meet you Adrain Novas,”[/color] the noble said then held out his hand for a handshake. Adrain ignored the handshake as he had a distinct grudge for the Belmont family. Some of their smaller branches had dealings with the slave market, which he despised. If they weren't a royal family, he would’ve left in an instant. 

After the award introduction, they all sat down and disgusted the request. The Belmont has hosted the festival for generations. They pride themselves on the extravagant display during the festivity. Though this year was different. Many poachers have also gain access to the festival, and they feared that it would cause problems. So the Belmont wanted someone to investigate the poachers present in the city, and thus the guild recommended Adrian and Haki. They have also noted several kidnapping in the city and suspected the poachers. It would be troublesome for Adrain to refuse a request from the nobles, so he accepted but warned them that he will not answer to the Belmont. 

Once the final details were completed, Adrian made his way back to the inn.
