"Levin, my dear, is there some kind of event in the market, as there are more people than usually here?" Jaana asked Levin as she was puzzled about the number of people in the market. It usually wasn't this crowded with people, especially at this time of a day.
"My love I was just going to ask the same from you, as you know I just returned from the mission and haven't spent much time in the city. So my answer is no, I don't know."
Levin answered to his wife and was also puzzled about the number of people. As new ones just kept coming out of the four gates of the market and it was getting more and more crowded with the citizens of the city.
"I thought if it was some church event or that the church will announce something. That is why I asked you about it." Jaana said and was getting more protective of Elvire, and she did hold her hand more and started to look around for any potential dangers for the girl.
"If it is a church event, then I wasn't informed about it at all," Levin answered and then did stop the nearest person who was heading to the center of the market.
"Who the fu... I'm sorry sir I didn't recognize you first. Please forgive this lowly one. I will go after this and pray in the church and donate there." The man who was stopped tried first to curse Levin, who stopped him, but when he saw his crest, his attitude took a 90°degree turn to better. As no one who had even a little bit of intelligence wouldn't want to make the church to his or her enemy.
"Oh, it's not needed, as it was me who stopped you suddenly. It's all okay if you just answer my little question. And my question is, what is going on in the market now? Why are there so many people running towards the center of the market?" Levin didn't even give the man a chance to refuse at all and just straightly asked the question from him.
"Oh, sir, doesn't know? Two things are going on now. First is that our crown Prince will get engaged, and the royal messenger is going to announce the engagement soon, as we still don't know who the lucky one is who got out crown Prince. The second one is that there is an appraisal master from the Golden door auction house training his new apprentice and is offering free service, and if he's apprentice gets an item wrong; you will get five gold coins back as a refund. But if the apprentice doesn't get the item wrong, you have to pay the five gold coins to the appraisal master." The man answered to Levin and waited if Levin had more questions. As it was always good to be in good relationship with the people from the church.
"Thank you for the answers. Here is a small reward for your effort." Levin said and tossed a good coin to the man.
"Oh, thank you so much. I will immediately go and pray for the church and give it a donation." The man said while he was crying, as the gold coin was so much money to him. He started to run away from the market just to secure his gold coin and not get robbed at all.
"Now we know my love," Levin said to his wife and smiled at her.
"Good job, my dear. I knew I could trust you." Jaana answered.
"Hmm, we came to the market at the wrong time, didn't we? But let's go and see at least the engagement announcement." Levin said and waited for Jaana to answer.
"Yes, we should go and look at that. And yeah, we came out at the wrong time to shopping. But yes, I'm interested in which noble family got their child to the royal family this time. And how the power will shift between the royal families here." Jaana answered to her husband.
"Yes, it will be interesting to see my love. As of now, there is only one noble family in the royal family. So what will happen and who was chosen this time and what kind of alliances will happen between the families." Levin answered, and they also startled to march towards the center of the market.
"Elvire, do you remember what I thought you before we left?" Jaana asked from Elvire.
"Y-yes I do," Elvire answered to the question and started to wait if Jaana would ask from her questions about the subjects.
"Oh, it's nothing even if you didn't remember it all. But we might be lucky and see the crown Prince today. And maybe also some of the noble families, so stick close to us and don't let go from our hands at all." Jaana said and showed a genuinely worried face to Elvire.
Elvire just relaxed, as she wasn't going to have to answer at all and just answered.
"Of course not. I won't release my hands from yours at all." When Jaana and Levin heard this, they both relaxed and continued towards the center of the market.
