The Sage of Einar

Chapter 227: Information about Kassia

When Bennu opened her beautiful green eyes, she turned her head from side to side and could see Gautier and Guido sleeping peacefully beside her.

‘I guess I went overboard with them a bit, but since they paid its time to do my job.’

Rising from the bed where she was, she revealed her well-formed body and her wheat-colored skin, which had some fluid stains.

With a smile on her face, she caressed her belly as she began to walk towards the door where once it was opened by a woman in maid clothes; she handed her a towel.

“Keratsa, I want you to take care of the needs of our guests, but first I would like you to tell Mosi to see me in the bathroom he has work to do.”

The woman nodded silently, so she turned around and started walking, Bennu seeing how Keratsa walked away, started her way to the bathroom where her servants would wash her body.

After walking through a few corridors, she came to a beautiful wooden door which was opened from the inside by two maids.

Who using their hands allowed Bennu to walk to her specially prepared bathroom with flowers.

While this was happening, Mosi, a tall man with big muscles and brown skin, was having some meat and hummus for breakfast.

When he was eating, was interrupted by Keratsa, Bennu’s main maid, who mentioned to him that the lady was looking for him because she had a job for him.

Mosi just looked at the maid before finishing his breakfast completely in a few gulps. Seeing his empty plate, he got up and started walking towards the bathroom where Bennu should be.

One of the guards seeing Mosi’s attitude could only sigh before looking at Keratsa “Don’t take Mosi’s attitude personally, he is a man who speaks little, but he is the best at what he does.”

Keratsa just raised her shoulders as a sign that she didn’t care “My duty was to inform him about the orders, the rest will depend on what he wants to do.”

The guard just laughed and returned to his position to guard the door on his left side.

Mosi, who was walking at a steady pace, did not take long to reach the bathroom doors, so he opened them.

He could see how Bennu was being washed by her servants, although his attention slid for a few moments on Bennu’s large breasts.

“Mosi if you want to see my body you just have to tell me, it wouldn’t be the first time you do it.”

Mosi then raised his gaze to meet her eyes “I’m sorry about that, but tell me what mission do you want me to do?”

Bennu smiled and drank some wine from a golden goblet handed to him by one of his servants.

“I want you to investigate everything related to Kassia of Thrace, a noble woman who was one day accused of heresy, for which she disappeared.

I do not want you to inquire into her past; I am only interested in knowing where she was or who took her.

When you find out, you can come see me, because clients want to know what happened to that woman.

You can start your search at the Neorion dock, since according to my information that was the last point where it could be seen. “

Mosi nodded and left that bathroom as he had to head towards the Neorion dock.

The road through the busy streets of Constantinople was slow due to the large number of people in the city.

But despite this, Mosi was able to reach his destination, which was a wooden house near the port of Neorion.

Upon entering, he found a group of sailors who were drinking beer while talking about their adventures. Among the many sailors, there were some men in chain mail and strange helmets.

Which covered their dirty faces which had a large beard which in many cases was supported by some braids.

Mosi caught the attention of some people in the place but it was only momentary as everyone was busier drinking or talking.

When he walked to the bar of the inn, the manager only gave him a glance before taking a wooden mug and placing some beer in it.

When he was in front of the manager, he handed him the mug with beer and continued with his work while giving Mosi a sideways glance.

Mosi drank the entire contents of the jug and placed a gold coin on the bar.

“I want to buy some cinnamon.”

The manager took the gold coin and walked towards a door, which he opened. Mosi at that moment entered the room where there was only a chair and a wooden wall.

Walking confidently, he sat on the chair and touched the wooden wall three times.

“Tell me what kind of cinnamon does a member of the eye of horus need?”

“My teacher wants information on the whereabouts of a noble woman named Kassia of Thrace.”

A laugh was heard on the other side of the wooden wall “What you want is not cinnamon. You are looking for cobra poison, but taking into account the favor I owe to Bennu, I will accept your order.

Wait three days and you will have the most complete information on the fate of that woman. “

Mosi just got up from his chair and put down a bag with some iron coins whose value could only be exchanged in the hidden world of the city.

When he left, he decided to go to one of the many houses belonging to his secret order, where he would rest for three days as he could not return without answers.

After three days Mosi heard a knock on his door, so he got up from the chair where he had been sitting and opened the door.

The only thing he could see were two scrolls which were placed at his entrance, so that he could take them. After collecting the two scrolls, he closed the door and lit a candle.

Lit only by candlelight and a few rays of sunlight streaming through the holes in the roof of the house, Mosi opened the first scroll.

‘Kassia of Thrace, daughter of the Empress Irene and the Emperor Charlemagne, lived for a long time in an unknown place, more however church reports mention that she had a preference for reading books.

Her mother saw her many times, but she never found out who her real father was.

After Empress Irene lost power and ended up in exile, it is unknown what Kassia was doing.

But she was seen for a long time with a group of Viking, who came from far north. They were commanded by a man named Eero.

They had some expeditions to Constantinople, but after Kassia’s disappearance they never appeared again … ‘

Mosi scratched his cheek and opened the following scroll ‘The information gathered tells that Kassia was fleeing a persecution from a priest.

Kassia was a woman who enjoyed helping, but because of the information she learned during her childhood, the priest blamed her for witchcraft.

The priest who caused his disappearance died three years ago due to an accident in a brothel he frequented.

So not much is known about the hidden motives of the man of faith.

But after reviewing the information and some testimonies, we can assure that Kassia may have escaped north with the group of Vikings led by Eero.

According to some sources and the words of other Vikings, Eero belonged to a great northern tribe which was destroyed by a civil war and a conquest of another tribe.

The little information that is known is that they managed to flee to the west in ships, but there is no precise information because everything is based on stories told by some Vikings who knew the story because Jarl Eero was quite famous. ‘

Mosi sighed and closed the scroll “Then Kassia escaped with a group of Vikings to a place in the north which suffered a civil war and was invaded.

But there is a possibility that she could have escaped. I suppose I can end my investigation. “

Mosi then put the scrolls in a leather bag and threw the candle on the ground, as the house had to burn to avoid being tracked.

When he came out through a hole in the wall, he started to walk down an avenue where he got lost in the crowd while the house was starting to burn.

After a while Mosi returned to the base where he entered through a special door, which led him to dark corridors which could lose anyone.

But for him those corridors were only a mandatory route that he had to do in order to return, because if he did not do so he could endanger the entire order.

When he finally reached a dead end, he approached the wall and gave it three blows, causing the false wall to move, exposing a fully armed guard in heavy armor.

Mosi just greeted him and walked in before he could hear the false wall slide back into place.

After this he walked down a corridor which led him to Bennu’s room, so when he was in front of the door, he opened it without knocking.

Upon entering he could see Bennu completely naked while he was in the middle of two men having wild sex.

Mosi ignored the scent and started walking towards them, where he placed the leather bag still next to the bed before leaving the room.

Guido pointed to the door and looked at Bennu with some curiosity. “Is it normal for him to behave like that?”

Bennu just laughed “He is my husband, but he does not like to talk too much, but if he is in this place, it is because the information they wanted is in that leather bag …”

Bennu then bit her lip and leaned closer to Guido’s ear “But I think this is just beginning, we can review the information later.”

When she finished saying those words, Bennu continued with her hip movements as the two men destroyed their insides.
