(It's a short one today xD)

The 9 coven leaders talked for quite a while, mostly about their opinions on the golden boy who had left them half an hour ago. Meanwhile, the opinion of those who had previously been averse to him had changed, especially when Darius announced his thoughts about him. 

Golden Guard suddenly seemed more sympathetic to them as they thought he would be and they all had the necessary interest to want to get to know him further. But they also knew that the boy would probably not come here any more, at least not just like that, and they couldn't ask Belos about this either.

"We'll find one way.", The Potion Coven leader said confidently, whereupon the others nodded silently.

After a while Darius was back in the castle, this time without Eberwolf at his side because his little partner had to do other things that had to do with his Coven. He himself therefore enjoyed the peace and quiet that finally reigned around him. On his way he happened to pass the throne room again, from which the Golden Guard had now stepped. Darius wondered briefly why the boy had been in there again, but explained to himself that he was Belos' right hand.

With the mask's eyes on the floor, the golden boy stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him before looking up and over at Darius. "Oh, you," he said. The Abomination Leader nodded. Golden Guard hesitated for a moment until he sighed and looked away.

"I have to do an assignment in the city center, if you feel like... you can come with me. However, you don't have to.", The younger one suddenly offered him a choice and although Darius had actually enjoyed the quiet and he usually preferred to stay back he said: "Okay, but if I get dirty in any way, it's your fault." Golden Guard suddenly giggled. "Okay deal!" And so they both set off, walking the path that was so familiar to them, until they reached the city center.

"What do you actually have to do ..?", Asked Darius who remembered that the little one was a magnet for jobs with dirt. "WE have to empty all the trash cans in the city and take them away personally." He said it in such a serious tone that Darius almost fell over. But then the golden boy began to laugh again. "No no, but if you prefer it to my assignment, you are welcome to do it."

Darius smiled in disgust. "Yes, I sure will." Golden Guard turned his back on him and looked around. . "No, we should only look for problems. Walk through the market, just to see if everything is going well, question suspicious people and, if necessary, arrest them. That's all." "So a routine check?" The taller asked whereupon the younger nodded in confirmation.
