"Anneth, could you go with Erik to the carpenter. I gave Erik the list of things we need for the girls' new room, and after that, could you go to the tailor and get the clothes I ordered and buy the fabric on this list. I want to make the clothes for the girl now personally." Jaana said to her servants and gave the list to Anneth, who just nodded and started to head with Erik towards their destination.
"Radella, can you come with me for a moment. We will head over there and buy some things we need. Let's leave Elvire with Levin and Alper. I think they will take good care of her for the time we are buying our stuff." Jaana said to her maid and flashed a mischievous smile to her husband and started to head towards her way with her maid.
Levin couldn't even say anything at all when Jaana was out of his vision. He watched the place where his wife was just a moment ago and just started to shake his head and said to Elvire.
"That is so typical for Jaana. So I hope that you don't mind. For now, let's go and get to the market and let's see if we can find some interesting and fun things from there. So just say if you want something, and I will see if we have money to buy it." Levin looked towards Elvire, who just silently was enjoying her last peanuts, and Levin decided that he will spoil the girl today and make her enjoy this trip for the market.
He knew that his wife did give special instructions to the servants what to buy today, but couldn't he also spoil the girl somewhat and buy some things to her.
As he still hasn't gotten his reward from killing the evil priest, so there were over a hundred gold coins to pick up from the church.
It was more money than he could have ever imagined, as even a simple peasant could easily live an entire year with one gold coin, and most of the peasant families wouldn't ever see or hold a good coin in their hands. Even silver was rare to them.
So Levin was rich just in overnight, and he couldn't imagine what he could ever do with that much of coins.
So he just simply decided that he will spoil the girl today and buy most of the things she wanted, as he has labeled the girl as his lucky star now. Because without her, he wouldn't have found the evil priest or gotten a happy family and lifted his wife from the depressed state she was because of the news that she couldn't get pregnant at all.
As when he was paladin, his wife was a cleric for the church, and they were always a team together in missions and adventures together. But when Jaana was hit by an arrow. It hit her stomach and especially to her womb, and pierced it. But she was healed, but the price was she couldn't get a child anymore. So she slowly started to withdraw from her former adventure life and slowly distanced herself from the church. And it caused a Levin quite a trouble to propose her, as she said she would not be a good wife, and she cannot give Levin a child at all. But Levin didn't care at all and was persistent with his plan, and eventually, it worked, and they got married together. But still, his wife was depressed by the image that she couldn't give Levin a child or a happy family at all. So it was the first time for Levin to see her wife smile so much and be so happy and active and got out of the house.
As it was also his fault that he couldn't protect Jaana form the arrow at all. He didn't see the enemy at all, and when he finally saw the enemy and killed him, it was too late for Jaana. So he has always blamed himself about that, and the state Jaana has been in. And he swore to himself that he will fix it and make Jaana happy again.
But before he could think more, the girl looked towards one shop and whispered faintly.
"Books so many books." Levin didn't hear properly and asked the girl.
"Did you see something interesting? Let's go and look it then and see what it is. But first, you have to tell me what it is." Elvire's face brightened, and she excitedly said to Levin.
"There are so many books in that shop. I want to look and learn more." Elvire didn't know, but something was pulling and calling her among the books. It was slowly whispering Elvire's mind and calling her to come and pick it up.
Levin, who first thought that the girl saw sweets or toys or something else than books, didn't say anything at all and started to walk towards the bookshop as long as it would make the girl happy. And maybe he will also find something interesting to read and good teaching material for the girl to read when her lesson will begin.
