After they had eaten, he had Brittania bring them tea to help digest the meal. Drinking the tea enabled him not to feel the usual food coma he would feel, after such a feast.
While they drank their tea, Alex discussed with Eris about basic things in this world. He had a general understanding, from what the system provided him with but not a detailed picture.
"Are all the villages similar to this one?" Alex asked. He want to know if there will be any better village.
"No, my lord. Due to how far away this village is to the capital and with few resources, we don't get a lot of merchants or travelers coming here. We make enough from trade to survive, relatively at least, but nothing like the towns and villages towards the center of the kingdom." She spoke, sounding a little disappointed in the location that her village was in.
Placing his hand on this chin, Han mulled over this. He then said, "This probably means that the more interesting things are closer or at the capital." Considering it was still ways until nightfall, Alex believed they could continue with their travels.
It wouldn't be so bad to enjoy the beautiful weather and travel, instead of just appearing in the capital.
"Hmmm..." He continued to think about this. Reaching a decision, he looked at Eris and asked. "Eris, how would you like to travel with us and see the rest of the kingdom?"
"M-my Lord??" Eris asked, surprised by this invitation. You have to know that she never have left the area around the village.
"From what I've seen in this village, there isn't much here for you. You have no strings keeping you attached to this dreary place, and the village doesn't seem to treat you with the respect you deserve.
Also, I would enjoy having you around to help us with the local customs. I believe this would be beneficial for both parties." He reassured her. Calmly, he blew into the teacup he was cradling in his hands, enjoying the warmth of the tea.
There was an enjoyable quality of drinking tea while talking about new events. A lot better than coffee, the way you get all jittery from the caffeine. Drinking the tea also gave you a semblance of looking calm and patient.
After getting her cup filled with more tea, and lightly added with milk and honey, Eris brought the cup to her lips and drank the cleansing beverage. She was likely thinking about what life outside of the village would be like, no longer being verbally abused and getting to experience new and beautiful things. There were also memories of her past that would make her hesitate about moving forward. The reason to this was that she was born and raised here.
Even with the pause and deliberation going through her mind, Alex was confident that she was going to respond in a predictable way. That predictable way was to say yes to Alex's invitation.
Looking like she made up her mind, Eris faced Alex. She answered, "My Lord, please allow me to travel with you."
"Fantastic!" Alex said, clapping his hands. He also has a smile on his face.
Both Elena and Reina glanced at one another, enjoying their Master looking so happy. They didn't understand why this woman needed to accompany them, but if their Master was pleased, then that was all that mattered.
The two of them could handle anything if this woman tried anything to harm their precious Master, so they weren't concerned about this woman joining their group.
Looking around Eris's home, Alex said, "Unless there are any objects of sentimental value, you won't be needing to worry about taking anything along with you." Looking over at Brittania, he said, "I will need you to prepare several outfits for Eris so that she will have something to change into. Make sure they are outfits that showcase her figure. She doesn't need to look like some common village woman, any longer."
"Yes, Master. I will have one of the tailors prepare a wide selection for you to approve. They will be ready by the end of the day." Brittania informed him. Seeing that she was dismissed, she indicated for the other waitresses to begin removing the food items they brought.
Standing up, Alex told them all, "Unless there are any other issues we need to go over, I feel like it is time for us to depart from this place." Seeing Eris getting up and not refusing his idea, he nodded his head.
Both Elena and Reina got up and made no counterpoint as if his thoughts were only logical at the moment. Snapping his finger, Alex made the two sofas vanish. It looked like the couch were never there.
Eris didn't react as strongly as she initially did when the couches appeared. Alex thought that she would fit in with them well, unlike other humans.
Heading to the door, Reina had opened it for him already allowing him to walk out of the confining home.
This time when Alex looked around at the village, he didn't seem to see cheerful people but instead spiritless individuals who only cared about themselves. He snorted at this place and headed to the other entrance, which faced the direction of the capital.
Upon exiting the village and walking for several minutes, so that it was barely seen in the distance, he turned around and looked at the other three. "Though walking sounds fun, in theory, I think it may be better for us to travel on something with wheels."
Twirling his finger, Alex made a pitch-black carriage appear. In front of the carriage was a four-footed dragon, slightly larger than a horse. Walking up to the dragon, Alex scratched it behind its ears, as if it was a giant cat. The dragon made a purring noise, indicating its enjoyment of affection and attention.
In the driver's seat was a mature looking woman, dressed in a steampunk looking driver's outfit. The expression she had would be described as the classic "resting bitch face," which made her even more attractive looking. Looking at her, Han said, "You will be named Sophia, and from now on you will be my personal chauffeur."
Sophia bowed her head, acknowledging her Master's command. Like all his creations, she had decent combat ability. Instead of having a weapon, Andrea would be able to use close combat techniques. She would be similar to a monk in most MMORPG games, so even her clothing had high magical and physical defense and gloves with ridiculous attack power.
To help her with being a chauffeur, she could sense her surroundings, a nearly 500 miles away detection sphere. In addition to being able to detect oncoming attacks, this ability would allow her to map out the surroundings.
If she's given a destination, she would be able to determine an optimal navigational route quickly. He also designed her to take in the ambient mana in the world as nourishment. This way, Sophia wouldn't need to rest or eat, though she could if she wanted to, making her the most overpowered (OP) professional driver if you include all her abilities. Imagine that powerful. This what rich people would hope for?
Elena moved to open up the door into the carriage so that they could enter.
Entering the vehicle, Alex nodded at the interior looking spacious and plush. There were leather sofas, a leather chair, coffee tables, and a mini dining area. This was not the usual transportation ride, using the same ability as the stronghold where the exterior did not reflect the interior.
From the outside, the size of the vehicle looked like a common carriage you would expect on Earth, but the inside was comparable to a pool house. There were plenty of windows so that you could view the outside of the carriage, but since the interior was like a separate dimension, there was no feeling of motion.
It felt like when someone watched the TV of someone traveling, where the experience felt surreal. Glancing over, he curiously watched Eris's expression and enjoyed how she marveled about everything.
"Brittania, bring some refreshments and fruit here." He ordered not paying attention to a reply.
Sitting down on the leather seat, he enjoyed the way the leather cushions embraced him. This seat gave him a full view of the carriage's interior.
The way the landscape passed by, it made him feel like he was going backward. Elena and Reina sat on the sofa to his left, opposite of the entrance, while Eris sat by herself on the couch to his right.
The way the interior was set up looked similar to those large, expensive RVs that politicians used, as they crossed the United States for national elections. The difference was that this place didn't have beds and kitchen, just having a lounge and dining area.
Part of him felt he should materialize a cigar since it looked like those upscale cigar lounges, he and his friends would frequent during college. They would pretend to be wealthy CEOs as they checked out the serving girls, who wore skimpy outfits since that's what rich old guys liked to look at.
After some time, Brittania materialized with a large tray with a large bowl, along with four smaller empty plates, of fruits and four glasses, filled with some kind of beverage. She placed the tray on top of the coffee table and proceeded to bring each of them a drink. She looked like a professional maid that have done this for many years.
Seeing that his chair didn't have a glass holder, he modified the leather seat to have one. He tasted the liquid and thought it similar to a traditional sweet tea, placing the cup into the holder. This way he did not have to hold in his hand all the time.
He saw Brittania begin to dish out various fruits into each of the empty bowls. She walked over and placed the plate on the small seat table, on his left side. In the bowl were sliced strawberries, honeydew, pineapple, and apples. There were also grapes, which were still on the vine. Once Brittany completed her task of distributing the dishes to everyone, she came on stood next to him on his left.
"Master, if you would like, I can feed you the fruits for your convenience?" Brittany forwardly asked him, attempting to look professional though failing to hide looking forward to providing such services.
Even though she didn't need to do this, it was a nice feeling that she wanted to spoil him. He wondered if this was how Roman Emperors felt, having people feed them snacks into their mouths.
Sliding a hand up her thigh and feeling the ample and round ass, he enjoyed the feel of squeezing the cheek furthest from him. Savoring the feeling of her perfect ass, he nodded consent to the offer.
From the way she quivered, Alex could tell that she was happy being able to personally serve him. When she placed one of the grapes into his mouth, he enjoyed how juicy and sweet the fruit was and sucked on index finger used that had a little juice on it. His tongue lightly touched her finger while encircling it.
Releasing Brittania's finger from his mouth, Han looked to his guest. "Eris, are you enjoying yourself?" He asked, who was blissfully eating the fruit.
Blushing from being asked while she was showing such a sight, gorging on exquisite fruits, Elis said, "My lord, I have never eaten such sweet fruits in my entire life! Even this carriage looks magical, how it is so much large inside compared to how it looks from the outside!"
The innocent wonder was very endearing and made him happy that be able to show someone in this world such joy. Just having this power and hogging it for only himself and his creations didn't seem like the right thing to do. It would be good to show off to at least a few humans, or non-humans, his wealth, and power. "Didn't everyone enjoy showing off now and then?" He thought to himself.
"It is a simple ability of mine. I am happy that you are enjoying the ride and food. Do not hold yourself back if you feel yourself being thirsty or hungry. The food is something we have plenty in stock, so if there is a particular meal you enjoy just make a request."
Thinking about it for a second, Alex said, "Brittania, have two maids come here to look after Eris."
"As my Master commands, I shall obey." Brittany then looked like she was speaking to someone, when, suddenly, two cute near-identical maids appeared. The one on the left had ruby red hair and the second one had jet black hair.
The two maids faced him and curtsied. "Master, we are here to serve." They said in unison in the way that only identical twins can say.
"You two are adorable looking. Have you chosen your names?" He asked, laughing at their blushing faces after having received a compliment from their Creator.
"My name is Rhia, Master," said the red-haired maid.
"My name is Rhiana, Master," said the black-haired maid.
"I have summoned the two of you to look after Eris, and fulfill her various requests," Alex explained to the two young maids.
