It was the ninth day of the tournament and it hasn't ended yet.
These past days, merchants and some participants of the tournament had come to stay in the Laughing Cloud Inn.
I was sweeping at the front door when the guests were coming to the inn.
They look exhausted and tired, desperate to have their sweet dream in a comfy bed.
Two groups of four people lined up waiting for the room at the front desk of the inn.
As mother received the guests, Ronan and Aria were helping her.
Lorcan with the other boys were keeping up cleaning and preparing all the rooms in the inn.
There's another change in the past few days, the inn has level up to three floors and had a new annex attached on both sides.
The small fairy that is always flying around me said it resembles the old fairy castle now.
'but the old castle was bigger'
'yes and so much high tower'
'and large room'
With the new floor, it comes with plenty of new rooms as well.
Now there are few rooms that are large enough and come with a bath inside.
As the inn now had three floors, the second floor was for single rooms, while the third floor was for medium and large rooms.
As the new room needed a new mattress and pillow, an old and large warehouse also appeared.
It was full of furniture, different types of linen and fabric, mattress, feathers and down, and so much more raw materials.
The warehouse were almost thousand years old and were enchanted so everything inside would never rot.
We also now reside at the new annex building attached at the west of the inn's main building.
It was as big as the main building with lots of rooms. It has a living room, drawing room, kitchen and dining room, it also has a library and study room.
The twins have their own room too. They were excited about it.
I asked mother to give Lana a room near me and mother said she should have the lady in waiting room besides my room.
I couldn't ask her to do that since she was my friend and not my maid.
But after some thought I gave her the master room at the main building and Aria will stay with her.
The other kids are happy with their own room at the barracks. They want to start their training to wield a sword and living there gives them so much energy.
And they are now grown so much that I think in a few months they will be higher than me.
The morning light shone through the window and reflected on the sword of one of the guests who was standing near the main entrance.
Mostly the merchant chooses the single room.
They say they want a proper rest before continuing their journey.
There's also few that are wealthy enough and choose a medium room that is bigger and more comfortable.
The medium room had a small bathtub and came with one meal.
And their servants were staying at the dorm. Which is cheaper but it was a sharing room for a large number of people.
Lana took the laundry to hang at the clothesline and stopped to greet me at the front door.
"Thankfully they had their own servant, it will be hard to serve them personally."
I held out my hand to the basket and walked together with her.
And she kept looking at the grumpy merchant who got angry with her servant.
"Mother said our priorities were only to prepare their needs and we didn't have to serve them personally"
We hang the laundry under the sun and the birds chipping around makes the sunny day become more pleasant.
"How many guests for today?"
"Just now I think its twenty"
'and there will be more by tomorrow.'
'and it will be more after the tournament ended in few days'
