Chereads / The Priestess of Rodona / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Elvire wondered what happened in the bookstore to her, but she couldn't remember or focus on it at all. In the end, they slowly got to the gates of the market.

Jaana was waiting on there with her maid behind her and when she saw Levin. She started to run and jumped on to her husband's arms and gave him a kiss on the lips. She also did give him a joyful smirk, as she had already started her plans to defeat him and get the girl's attention to herself.

Levin, who didn't understand her wife's hints of the starting war, was just so happy when he got so much attention from his wife that he lost his ability to function for a moment.

Jaana took advantage of the moment and turned towards the girl and patted her head and hugged her and asked her.

"So what did you do with your dad? And I hope that you had fun, my dear or if your dad did bully you. I will personally teach him a lesson about how to treat you, my dear." Jaana flashed a smile to Elvire and started to wait for her answer.

"U-uhm w-we went to a bookstore, and there was a huge amount of books. Too many and dad bought me a couple of storybooks that looked interesting an-and what else? Oh right, he also bought some books to himself, and Uncle Alper stayed there."  Elvire was nervous as she was so excited about the books, and she still was a little scared of Jaana because of their first meeting.

"Oh, he did get you books? That is so nice from him, and we can read some even today night, my dear. But I also got something for you, my dear. I hope you like it, my dear." Jaana said and gave the girl a bag. It was a simple bag with one strap that will go to your shoulder and then the part where you could store your belongings. 

It had simple red rose painted on the bag part, and on the other side, it had a white rose painted on. It was simple, but quite an elegant bag, and there was room for the growth of the girl also as you could adjust the rems of it and you could even stitch the pouch area bigger.

So it was really simple but useful bag, and Elvire fell in love with it immediately and when she got it. She felt that it was a little heavy, and when she opened it, there was a bag of freshly baked cookies in it and a small doll that was beautiful.

"I hope that you." Before Jaana could finish her sentence, Elvire hugged her and said.

"Thank you so much. I love it so much." Elvire gave a small kiss on Jaana's cheek, and when Levin saw that, he got so jealous and pouted. Jaana gave a smirk towards her husband and showing proudly of her small victory and kissed Elvire's forehead and said.

"It's nothing I'm glad that you like it. But now, let's go to the market and let's see if there is something that you like there also."

Elvire looked towards the gates and put the small bag to her shoulder and got a cookie out of the bag, and started to munch it while stepping to the market.

At the same time, Alper had hired the merchant guilds movers to help him and was delivering the books to the house when he remembered one thing.

There wasn't a bookshelf in the house! So, where would he store all of these books? Where would he place them, and what should he do with them? He started to ask those simple questions from himself, and when the carriage finally stopped at the front of their house, one of the helpers asked from Alper.

"Sir, where do you want us to carry the packages?" He started to wait for Alper's answer.

"For now, let's put them to the living room. Follow me, and I will show the place for you." Alper got his box of books and opened the door for them, and started to lead them to the living room. When the movers knew where the place was, they started to carry the rest of the box there, and when it was finally done, the leader of the movers said. 

"It will be one gold coins, sir." Alper paid the gold coin, and the movers left the house.

But now Alper had the problem where to put them. He slowly went and took a sip of a local brew and said.

"I will leave this to my masters. They said I should just deliver them to the home. After that, I didn't receive any new orders." After that small rant, he just went to his room to take a nap.
