Part 1 $8.64
America, Boston 1868
"Sebastian just pay the extra 64 cents, we are making a scene." A certain young earl says to a raven haired man that was staring down a cashier.
"The item clearly said 8 dollars so that is the cost the item should be not 8 dollars 64 cents." The raven haired man says.
Behind the cashier, the raven and the Earl was a long cue waiting to pay for items from the small book shop. The item in question a strange looking book on human theories on what demons are, if only the books author knew a demon would procure their item I'm sure they would be enthralled. The others in the cue start yelling.
"I have pressing matters to attend to and need this new day planner to keep track of those events, could you be any slower!" A business man in a cream suit yells.
" It's like the fool has never bought an item before, honestly." A woman says.
The raven head turned looking at her. " I have procured items before, for the price listed not a cent more."
The cashier sighs. " Sir are you not aware of the concept of sales tax?" he asks.
" I am aware of the concept of value added tax sir, The price is the price." The raven said.
The Earl starts chuckling.
" Sir, Sales tax is added to the list price of the item, the 64 cents is what occurred from that calculation.' The cashier say. " I don't make the rules for the sale i just follow them."
The raven places 64 cents on the table storming off the people in the line seeing to let go of their breath in relief collectively.
The Earl and the Raven headed to the towns boat port. The Earl sees the cue for the ship starting to move. " Okay we are going on now Sebastian, grab my.." the earl said before looking over seeing the demon standing very close to the end of the pier.
"Sebastian what are you doing?"
"I'ld rather swim my lord.' the Raven responds.
" I bloody paid for your ship ticket so you better get back over here and carry the bags you ingrate of a butler!" the Earl yells at him.
The demon walks back grabbing the bags taking them onto the boat. "There the items are on the ship, I think I'll swim the way home now my lord."
"I paid for your ship ticket. You are forbidden to leave the ship until we are at port back in London. Thats an order." The Earl says exasperated.
" Yes m lord. The demon says.
