Asking for help

" Well... As much as I like to see you again Miss Tilly, there is not much I can do about it. These nobles have sticks so far up their asses that they think they can do anything. And that right there, is rightfully fucked up. "

" Can't you.. I don't know, have him killed or something ? He tortures women, keeps them as sex slaves. We can't just let it be. Or better said, leave the others. " Triss said, perked up and passionate.

" I'll make sure to let him know that if he fucks with any of my people again, he will suffer the consequences but as for the other girls he is keeping there, not much I can do there. And of course, Miss Tilly, you will be compensated for what you have suffered. I apologize again for what happened to you. " He pulled out a pouch of coins from one of the drawers and placed it at the end of the table and as close to Corinne as possible. She scoffed at it, then turned around and left. Triss was both angry and sad but after years of serving at court she knew how to look composed. She turned to look at the King of Beggars.

" Well if you'll think of anything let me know. "

" Maybe, if you would bring me something to take him down with, I could pull a few strings here and there. But without anything substantial, I can't help you. "

She stared him deadpan in the eyes before turning around and running after Corinne. They walked together without saying a word back to the room that she had rented. There, they sat down and thought about their next actions. After minutes of silence, Corinne quietly asked.

" Could we somehow... sneak in and free them or... something ? Triss, I don't want the girls to suffer like this. Some of them have been there longer than I was. And even you saw how... violent he can be. "

" I.. did experience it, yes. Was he always so aggressive ? It felt weird, like he was under a spell or something. "

" Or maybe it was just fisstech or some other screwed up **** that these rich assholes have access to. "

" Hmm. Well, the King of Beggars said that if we find anything incriminating he would help us take him down. So maybe that is the way to freeing the girls ? "

" Once he is gone, the girls would be free so yes it would work. "

Triss leaned back in the chair and looked up at the ceiling, contemplating every single course of action they could take right now and whatever it would be, they need to do it now.
