?”Thank you for this beautiful gift, Yuan.” She stared at him with a loving expression on her face.
“We’re family, so there’s no need to thank me, Leah,” Yuan remarked with a smile on his lips, and seeing the tiny blush on her face, Yuan considered her really appealing.
Leah nodded and smiled sweetly at him.
He could feel his heartbeat quicken as he saw her smile so brilliantly at him, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he was falling in love with her or if it was all a coincidence, or possibly a misunderstanding.
Although Leah was not as beautiful as his other wives, her beauty was quite average to him because she was simply a mortal mage with some strength.
And when compared to his wife’s appearance, Leah’s attractiveness is incredibly mediocre, and cannot be compared because their differences are as vast as heaven and earth—incomparable!
However, for most nobles and commoners, her beauty is one in a hundred thousand, and the contour of her body is also quite lovely, with curves in the appropriate places.
However, the longer he looked at her, the faster his heartbeat became, and he felt the same way about Leah as he had about his wives.
Unfortunately, he was ignorant that he had developed deep affections for Leah, despite his initial reluctance to accept her as his wife, and he had been naive to his feelings for Leah all along, viewing her as merely a friend.
But now his heart quickened, just seeing her smile so lovingly, he became very clear about his feelings for Leah.
But seeing her loving grin made his heartbeat, and he realized he had feelings for Leah.
‘I guess I unknowingly fell in love with Leah… If this is not love, why is my heart racing the instant I see Leah’s gorgeous smile?’ he wondered, looking at her with a dazed look on his face.
‘Should I confess my feelings to her? But it is too early for that… let’s see how the day ends, and when I feel like ‘it’s the right time’, then I’ll confess my feelings to her.’ He thought.
Knowing Leah, he was very sure that she was in love with him too, from even before he started developing his feelings for her. And he was also sure that the moment he confessed his feelings for her, she would immediately accept his feelings.
However, his mother witnessed all of this and giggled at him, noticing how he and Leah were staring at each other, and she let out a mischievous grin on her lips.
A minute later, Yuan looked at the store owner and asked, “How much do I have to pay for the jewelry?”
“The total amount you have to pay is 320 gold coins, Sir.” The owner replied after doing a quick calculation.
Yuan was surprised to hear the price. Isn’t the jewelry just normal jewelry? How can they be so expensive? Clearly, the store owner is charging extra from the original price of those items.
“320 gold coins!? Are you sure about the price?” Yuan frowned at the store owner, with a very serious look in his eyes.
The store owner felt a shiver down his spine seeing the serious expression on Yuan’s face, and started to sweat profusely.
“I-I made a mistake…It’s just 250 gold coins.”
“That wasn’t hard, was it? Here’s the money.” Yuan smirked at the owner and placed 250 gold coins on the counter after quickly retrieving them from his system storage.
Once he paid the money, Yuan looked at his wives, as well as Leah, Mireya, and Sylvia, with a smile on his face.
“Let’s go, we’ve other places to visit too.” He said before walking out of the store, and the girls followed his lead and walked out of the shop.
After walking out from the jewelry shop, they look around the other streets of the city to see what’s more the common realm of the capital has to offer for them.
They walked down the streets happily chatting with one another, cracking small laughter from time to time, as they also enjoyed the scenery of the city.
They have captured a lot of attention from the people, and their beauty attracted many curious gazes, as they stand out within the crowd because of their striking appearance.
However, they ignored their gazes and continued to move forward, which displeased many young men who were attracted to the girls because of their striking appearance.
After looking around the popular streets of the Common Realm, Mireya leads them towards the entrance to the Noble Realm, where the noble families of the kingdom reside as well as the wealthy merchants who have strong connections with the nobles.
As they got closer to the entrance, they could see the structural changes in the nearby buildings and the roads. The buildings had become very thin and the road was much cleaner compared to the crowded streets.
They could also see a lot of guards standing, keeping an eye on every person passing through the street, making sure that no one enters the Noble Realm without a permit.
Yuan was shocked by how the aristocracy distinguished themselves from the common people, and how superior they regarded themselves despite the fact that they were only mortals.
Yuan, who came from Earth, where everyone could venture wherever they wanted without trouble, rich or poor, couldn’t help but feel strange seeing such discrimination among the population.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, Yuan and his wives, as well as Leah, saw a huge gate, and a very tall one surrounding the Noble realm, it’s like a second layer of defense.
“It’s so huge!”
Yuan and his wives as well as Leah marveled at the size of the gate, which was much larger compared to the main city gate. Moreover, this gate seems to be made out of some really tough stones further strengthening its strength.
The doors were constructed of ten-inch thick metal; regular spells would barely put a dent in them, let alone demolish them.
Mireya stared at them and chuckled. “You guys haven’t yet seen the entrance to the Royal Realm, which is much larger and beautiful compared to their gate.”
“That isn’t surprising since we’re talking about the Royal Realm where the ruler of this kingdom resides…” Anna Grace smiled at Mireya and looked at the guards ahead who were staring at them with a dreamy look on their faces.
“Are we supposed to continue to stand here or should we enter?” Yuan smiled at Mireya, wondering about how nobility lived in the Noble Realm.
“It seems that you’re getting a little impatient…” Mireya grinned teasingly at Yuan before looking towards the entryway and saying, “Very well. Let us enter then.”
Anna Grace and the girls nodded and followed her lead, Yuan sighed and followed her as well.
Once they were about to enter the Noble Realm, a few guards immediately stopped them. However, Mireya immediately retrieved a golden token from her magic pouch and showed it to the guards.
Seeing the token, the guards’ expression immediately turned pale as though they’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.
They immediately cleared the road for them to enter the Noble Realm, Mireya smirked looking at Yuan, and led them into the Noble Realm.
After passing through the large gate, Yuan and his wives as well as Leah finally saw the view of the Noble realm.
The entire area was brightened by the luxurious-looking magic lamps that were placed everywhere on the streets, and the scenery of the Noble realm looked very beautiful with the dim glow of the magic lamps.
In comparison to the Common Realm, the Noble Realm’s roadways are made of strong and rare stones, making them exceedingly robust and long-lasting, as well as giving them a lovely appearance, which is not the case in the City’s Common Realm.
Furthermore, the structures are very enormous with elaborate designs, and each building has a different type of design, as they compete to determine who has the best design and is visually appealing.
However, that was not the end of it; the streets were very wide, with beautiful plants on either side, making the streets even more beautiful, and they could see many noble women walking down the streets dressed in luxurious attire and heavy make-
up created by the mage society’s alchemists.
The further they enter the Noble District, they see many noble families’ sons and daughters out on a walk, and some of them are couples walking hand to hand with their beloved enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the district.
“This place is very beautiful and peaceful compared to the Common Realm of the city. I like the atmosphere here,” Yuan said, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the Noble Realm. The area was very peaceful away from the screams of the large crowd.
“This is because every nobleman prefers comfort above everything else, they don’t like being disturbed. Hence the atmosphere here is so calming.” Before Mireya could say something, Anna Grace spoke with a smile on her face, and she also liked the atmosphere here very much.
Leah was surprised by the calmness of the Noble Realm as it was her first time entering the Noble Realm, she never even imagined entering a place like this before meeting Yuan.
And finally, she understands why the nobles think of them as nothing more than a group of wild monkeys, this calmness cannot be possible for the commoners.
“Your mother is right. Most noblemen value comfort above all else; they desire to live a lavish lifestyle. And this is also why they are arrogant because they were born with a golden spoon.” Mireya responded with a neutral expression on her face, but inside she was furious, as if she despised every aristocrat in this world.
However, Yuan and his wives spotted this and raised their eyebrows at her.
She then smiled and glanced at them. “Let’s go that route; there’s a nice park ahead. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the view of the park.”.
