^In the park^
Elvire was so amazed when she stepped inside of the park, as there were so many different colors and flowers.
She couldn't stay in one place and gave a pleading look for her parents. Asking if she could go and explore.
Jaana and Levin just smiled at her and nodded, and they got a big smile in return from Elvire, who started to run among the park looking at all the different types of flowers and the different colors she could see but couldn't name at all.
"We are going to set our picnic place in here. So when you are tired, come here and eat your lunch. As we can come here another time also. So don't get too tired and get lost by now." Jaana shouted after Elvire, who turned towards her parents and gave a new smile to them and shouted back.
"I won't don't worry." After she shouted that she started to run even more. Not looking in front of her that much.
"It's so much reliving to see her behaving like a child in her age would do. As she so large vocabulary and seems to understand the language quite a well, and that isn't typical for that aged children yet. And she is more interested in books than dolls or dresses, anything else what would be typical for that aged children to have an interest. So I don't know how she has lived her previous life and how she has been educated, but it seems like it has taken away her behavior as a child, and that is sad.
As now she is just silent and obeys any order that we would give her and is fearing punishment if she would do anything wrong, and I think that shouldn't be the case, and she would experience the world more and behave more like she is behaving now.
And learn from mistakes and from doing the things she likes and not just listen to orders like a mindless puppet." Levin said and cried a little when he saw how happily Elvire was running among the flowers and exploring the park.
He was so glad that Elvire finally started to come out from her shell and not fearing them anymore and seeing that he and Jaana just wanted the best for her and that she would be free to do the things she would like to do.
"Yes, I remember yesterday when she came to our house and didn't talk and was hiding behind your back. Now when I see her running there and her smile, it makes me so happy for her and that she is out from her previous environment and life and can start a new one now." Jaana answered and kissed her husband's lips and giggled when she saw Levin's puzzled fade and that he couldn't say or do anything now.
Jaana slowly started to help her maid to set up their lunch and left Levin in his rose-shaped world.
^In the same time in the other end of the park^
"Master, this park looks like a good place to rest, so let's stop here for a moment, and I will come soon and bring you something to eat." A skinny looking youth that was probably in his twenties said to an old man who had a white beard that covered most of his face, but he was half bald already.
"Yes, let's rest here for a while, and after eating and resting, let's go and find a suitable in for us to rest."
"Yes, you are a brilliant master. That is so great idea. Wait here; I will be quick and bring the lunch out soon" The youth said to the old man and started to Sprint towards the nearest restaurant he could find and quickly bring the food to the old man.
As that old man was one of the best appraisal masters in the whole continent and when he heard that the youth had appraisal skill, he came to test the youth out and if he could pass the test, he would be accepted to Aradeum and would start learning one of the hardest paths and very rare path in the school. As not, they many had the skills to become an appraisal apprentice even, and it was rare for a person to have the appraisal skill in the first place. So they were always picked first, and the school always gave them the resources they needed. But that path would be really hard and difficult to learn and especially to be successful. But if he succeeded and would be successful and become even appraisal apprentice that would bring fame and money to him. Especially money as many would pay to him to appraisal many of the things they bought and especially auction markets would hire an appraisal master always gladly to check up what was worth to buy and what was not.
So he wanted to please the master and do everything he could to get on his good side. But he didn't know even when he had the talent to come, appraisal master. The old man wasn't keen on the youth's attitude.
"That brat is so annoying why someone like him has the skills to become an appraisal apprentice. He just thinks about money and is always behind me and trying to get to my good side. He doesn't have the spine or attitude to become an appraisal master. Maybe an apprentice appraisal if he is lucky. I still haven't found out good apprentice to pass my legacy." The old man was mumbling to himself and walking around without looking.
Suddenly he heard and felt that he did walk towards someone and that something just crashed with him.
He woke up from his daydream and looked down and saw a small girl in the ground crying.
The old man immediately panicked as he knew that it was his fault and he asked the girl.
"Little girl, don't cry. S-hh, don't cry. Everything is alright. Where are your parents? Let me carry you to them and compensate and apologize for my behavior to them."
Elvire couldn't stop crying, and the old man didn't know what to do but when he saw that a man was sprinting towards him. He guessed that he should probably be the girl's father and was ready to bow down and apologize when he felt that there was a spear pointed at his throat, and it was just a few inches away from piercing his throat.
The man picked the girl up with his one free hand and still did hold the spear on the old man's throat and asked with a very cold voice.
"What did you do to make my little girl cry? Did you hurt her? Did he hurt you, Elvire? Did he do anything to you at all?" Levin asked, as when he came to look Elvire and say that the lunch is ready.
He saw that Elvire was on the ground and crying. At that moment, he lost his sense and was ready to kill the man who hurt Elvire and made her cry.
"I-'m g-good. It was p-partly m-my fault also." Elvire said, and the old man coughed and started to explain also.
"I'm sorry that I didn't look where I was going and made the girl cry. But I was just going to help her up and go and find her parents and explain myself. So please, if you could take that spear away from my neck and give me a chance to explain myself." The old man said, and Levin lowered his spear and said to the old man.
"I'm sorry that I pointed my spear at you so suddenly. I want to apologize and invite you to be our guest in our lunch as compensation from these small accidents."
"And I happily accept that offer, and I will also compensate for you to make your precious girl cry and hurt her. But let's talk after lunch as I haven't eaten anything in ages."
The old man said, and Levin started to lead him and Elvire back to their picnic spot.
