Chapter 15
While everyone was in the line waiting for their turn to be checked our Jeri's carriage directly went through the Main gate as they were the family of duke and mere soldiers didn't have the authority or the confidence to stop them for checking.
" Who were they? why didn't the guards stopped them for checking." One of the man asked in the line
" didn't you see the insignia on the carriage. That was the carriage of duke Vesteria. His could somebody stop them for such things. "
Another person near the first one spoke.
Whereas after entering the Royal Capital our hero was shocked seeing people from various races of demi-humans as he saw how the civilians chatted happily with each other without any difference or discrimination of race etc.
There were many kinds of stalls selling various products from eating to products for daily use. The Capital was divided into various sector for different purposes so that people could easily find shops for anything and that too in an orderly way.
" Where would we be staying, Father? " James asked his father curiously while still looking outside the windows
" We will be living in our own villa which is nearest to the Royal Castle" Sylvian replied shocking James as he didn't knew that they had a villa in the Royal Capital.
" Why didn't you said so earlier. I was thinking for so long about our accommodations and now everything is
"Hahaha no need for worrying that much I know that you spend lots of time thinking how to sleep and various things in the wild but you forgot that we will be staying in the Royal Capital and we had invitations from the King himself." Sylvian said while laughing a bit.
James mouth by now was touching the floor of the carriage. " And we would be living in the Royal Castle if we didn't have that villa as written in the invitation. James felt like crying right now.
" No need to feel so down as what you studied would be of use in future when you will be go t on the training with the Magic King and you would have to sometimes live in the wild and there would be no facility there" Sylvian tried to cheer up his son
" Ohhhh" James got happy again while thinking ' Looks like I am being influenced by the 4 yrs old body of mine as my thinking is getting the same as a child but that is slow. I need to think a solution for this'
After a half an hour they reached the villa as their belongings were transferred to this villa earlier than what James thought.
After that James went around the villa checking for any and all kinds of spots which he could use to go outside the villa without anyone knowing.
" James come here " Sylvian called James as James reached in a minute to the spot he was called.
" Yes Father, why did you call for me? " James asked his father politely.
" Take this money and buy or eat anything you like while exploring the Capital and take care of yourself" Sylvian said while giving 4 Gold and 8 silver coins.
The denominations are as follows:
1) 1 Iron coin - $0.1
2) 1 bronze coin - $1
3) 1 silver coin - $10
4) 1 gold coin - $100
5) 1 platinum coin - $1000
6) 1 orhihalc.u.m coin - $10000
After taking the money from his father James went outside the villa to explore the Royal Capital as who wouldn't want to explore something new.
First James went towards the sweets and candies district where he asked many people for the best place to get the sweets and after a lot of searching and questioning others he was able to find the best of the best place though it didn't look too big or new like others but the feeling it gave was quality over quant.i.ty.
After entering the shop he was greeted by an old man at the counter who asked kindly, " do you need any help? "
" Yes, please suggest the beat of the best sweets you have here" James asked with stars s.h.i.+ning in his eyes.
" Come with me" Then the old man asked for one of the employee to take care of the shop as both the owner and James went to a room at one of the corner of this shop.
When the owner opened the door James was greeted with Light, sparkles, sweetness, and joy as he could literally see stars coming out of all the jars filled with sweets and candies.
" These here are the best you can find in the whole Capital. Usually most of the n.o.bles buy these just after they are made and especially now when the First Princess's Birthday is so near. You are lucky that these were just made a few hours back" The owner said and left James on his own.
After a while James chose the best sweets and candies present and paid the bill of 6 silver and 4 bronze and said he would come again in a day or two for more.
