Chapter 37: The Kingdom of Tuseoun.
*Celia’s POV*
After a few hours of riding in the carriage, we made it to Tuseoun. If the front gate was anything to go by, this pce was going to be amazing! I dabbled in architecture, and the walls of this kingdom are the best that I have ever seen.
I easily reize the building teique as one from my time. So, either knowledge from thousands of years ago assed down, or other reinater’s had affected the development in this new fantasy age. Oddly, I feel that Yona’s kingdom had better buildings… Maybe I am just remembering wrong?
Areina: “Celia, do not worry about the entry fee. As nobles, we do not have to pay it. And they won’t think to ask you for payment.” She said with a warm tone.
Celia: “That’s good, sidering that I don’t have any money... Celestium, I mean.” I say with a giggle.
Sana: “ium? Even with that magical pouch?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
Celia: “The pouch was a gift. The person that gave it to me, gave me my ons, and even paid for the teleportation array.” I expin.
Areina: “Then, you truly had no iion of taking that man’s deal?” She asked.
Celia: “Absolutely not. He was a fool, and I was just distrag him so your knights could deal with the carriage without being attacked.” I reply.
Sana: “Celia… you said that you lived in a forest, yes? Might I ask what the name of it is?” She asked with a nervous tone.
Celia: “Apparently, it doesn’t have a hough, it is the forest iweeia and Evaclearian.” I reply.
Sana: “…”
Oh? Why is she stock still? Is it that shog that I lived in that forest for a little bit? Ah, right… I said that I lived in it most of my life. ’t go ba that lie now…
Sana: “How… how long did you live in that forest?” She asked with a grim tone.
Celia: “It is hard to say… I woke up in that forest, but all I remembered was my name, and my age. Ah, I woke up there when I was 6.” I expin.
Ah… and now it is Areina turn to be shocked. I’m sorry! Teically, I am telling SOME truth, just with a little bit of lies sprinkled in. I am not keen oing people know that I use a System, and that I am a reinater.
I couldn’t help it with Yona, since she must have been watg me ever since I “saved” her from those Primal Goblins. As for Amelie, that was just bad luy part. Or just because of my own stupidity, by sleeping in a random persons house uninvited…
The two seemed to be lost in thought, and didn’t speak at all while we euseoun. The city was vibrant, and absolutely beautiful. From the window of the carriage, I could see a sprawling city, inhabited by very happy looking people of various races.
Areina: “Celia, we will be at the Guild very soon.” She said.
Celia: “Cool. Do I have to go wait in a line, or something?” I ask.
Areina: “No. My family is very powerful. As such, we just get a private room.” She replied.
Areina still seemed to be lost in thought… A few mier, we arrived at an iing building. It did not look like a generitasy guild building at all. Frankly, it fug sparkled! Did they build this pce out of magical bricks, or something!?
I have not explored this kingdom at all, but I would willingly make a bet that this building is the mal, and expensive one in this ey! When I realized that the two women were looking at me with a curious gaze, I was really fused…
Celia: “What?” I ask with a head tilt.
Sana: “It’s just that, you’re truly ag ye…” She said with a sigh.
Cool, it seems my cover is still w. But I am actually older than 16… I don’t think that I should feel plimented by that ent. Not cool! Well, at least my soul is older…
With a pout, I exited the carriage with the two women. After walking inside, I was even more impressed. There were differeions of this building. One was a very nice looking and smelliaurant. The other two ses were for help desks, and then a rge board full of papers. My best guess is that those are quest that the Guild put up.
Areina fgged down an employee, and then we were guided to a private room. Good lord… even this private room was amazing. Well, I guess that is to be expected, sidering that Areina’s family is apparently powerful.
I was left in the room while those two went somewhere else. So I just stood in the room waiting for them to e back. And they came back around ten mier.
Saured to me to sit down on a nice looking couch. In front of the couch was ahat looked exactly the same. Rather than sit with me, they both stood behind the couch that I was sitting ht before I asked them about this, the door to the room opened up.
A woman, wearing what could only be a priest’s dress, showed up. Her face was visible from her habit, but most of her body was covered. Shame… I like hot nuns. Well, I guess that it’s a good thing that she isn’t dressed in a hot outfit, sidering that she is clearly an old woman.
Old Priest: “So, this is the child?” She asked with a curious tone.
Areina: “That is correct.” She said with a bow.
The fuck? Why is Areina bowing to a priest? Fuck… did I get scammed or something?
Old Priest: “My name is Kirva, young dy. There is o be afraid of me.” She said with a ugh after sitting down on the cou front of me.
Celia: “Then why did Sana and Areina bow to you? Aren’t they powerful nobles?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.
Kirva: “People know to respect me.” She said with a shrug.
Celia: “Why’s that?” I ask.
Kirva: “Lies ot be used on me, as I see through them. Anger me, and I might just force you to reveal your deepest darkest secrets.” She answered.
Celia: “So, did I get ed?” I ask with a sigh.
Kirva: “ed?” She said with a fused expression.
Celia: “Scammed. Areina said that I was just going to get an ID. She didn’t mention anything about me being interrogated.” I reply with an aone.
Kirva: “I see…” She said with an expression that I could not pce.
Now then, how should I deal with this situation? I could run, but that would be bad. If I stay here, and ahis womaions, everything would be revealed…
Running it is theing up from my seat quickly, I make a heel turn and run towards the door. Once I opened up the door, a very strong person pletely blocked my path…
