"Thank you for saving my life, if you were not there, I would have died. "
"It's ok ,It's ok …. You don't have to bow like this.
Please raise your head."
When I opened my eyes the next morning, I found her in front of me and bowing so hard that her head almost touched the floor.
First time I saw her side like this.
She looks pretty cute when she is not in her usual mood.
I want her to enjoy her life a little more.
I want to know more about her and An idea comes to mind.
"Hey Siala, Are you free today ?"
"Yes I am, What about it ?"
"Let's go for shopping today "
"Not Interested " She said with her Usual stoic face.
"What ! Why ?"
"I went shopping once and it was too easy to do so if I needed something I just asked my servants to bring it."
What a thick headed rich girl, I thought.
"Thats why your fashion sense is dull like hell ."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever seen yourself in Mirror ?"
"I don't have time for these useless things."
"Aaha, but I noticed you many times looking at another girl's dress. I am sure you will look beautiful in those dresses."
She is silent but I know I succeeded.
"Please, let's go shopping"
I asked her one more time with puppy eyes.
"But on one condition."
She agreed, yeah.
"Anything for you, just tell me ?"
"I want you to teach me swordsmanship."
"Ok "
She asked me with a slightly red face and I replied to her with a big smile .
She went to her room to get ready.
Today is going to be fun After a long time.
Third POV
"Aren't we decided to go shopping?"
"Yes Siala"
"Then where the hell are you going ?"
"I Have to go to Donatus to sell my loot of yesterday And you should register in Donatus."
It was a sunny day, The streets are bustling with humans, beautiful Elves, muscular Dwarves and other races. Food stalls are crowded with foodies.
This street is famous for its livelihood but the reason for this is God's Donatus.
Tens of people are going in and out of this magnificent building every passing moment.
In front of Donatus a boy and girl were arguing. The Girl doesn't want to go in and the boy wants her to register in Donatus.
In the middle of their argument, Someone is collided with him.
"Ah, I am so sorry, I didn't see you coming." The boy apologised.
The person dust off her clothes .
Their eyes met.
"No, It's my fault, I was so observed in seeing this building that I bumped on you."
A girl with Blue eyes, silver hairs, brownish white skin and wearing a simple white robe.
With a charming smile she replied.
The boy was completely silent .
"Aarav, I am leaving "
Siala pulled her hand out of his grip and walked away.
Then the boy came to sense.
"Wait siala, I am going with you."
"Bye Take care"
The boy waved bye and ran behind the girl ,Siala.
"Aarav, is it ! see you soon"
That silver haired girl smiled mischievously and vanished in the crowd .
"Siala, Can't you walk slowly "
The boy ran toward her and grabbed her wrist.
"What is the Problem with you Siala"
She turned and asked with a angry face,
"I want to ask you the same thing ?"
"What do you mean ?"
The boy asked with a confused face and tilting his head.
"Did you like that girl so much?"
"Which girl ?"
"That one who bumped on you ?"
"Oh you are talking about her, she sure was pretty."
he said with a smirk .
"You stupid dumb, don't talk to me anymore ?"
"Are you jealous ?" Boy said mischievously.
and a lightning bolt wiped out that smirk on his face.
"I was just kidding, W..Wait"
One more lighting bolt.
"I am sorry i am sorry, Please Listen to me "
One more bolt and it missed like previous bolts.
"Damn ,I can't even hit you." she said while clutching her head in frustration.
"Please cool down a little, we are getting too much attention."
The boy grabbed her hand once more and pulled her into a store nearby.
"leave my hand"
Aarav POV
I sighed,
"I was just teasing you Siala, She definitely was beautiful but not more than you."
I tried to butter her but she was too thickheaded.
"That's quite a lively couple we got here, How can we serve you valued customers ?"
Thanks, he saved me. An elegantly dressed old man came and bowed.
He must be the shop owner.
"Can you Please show us some beautiful dresses for this beautiful girl ?"
I pointed toward Siala with a smirk and the oldman understood.
He called two girls from inside the store and those girls took siala inside.
I took a deep sigh.
"Please show me something as well ?"
"It's my pleasure sir Aarav "
The boy was surprised,
"How do you know my name ?"
"You are famous enough that everyone knows about you."
Damn, Everyone saw my argument with siala, Mom is definitely going to kill me and Imaya, I don't want to even think about it.
"Are you not feeling well Sir Aarav ? Should I call the doctor ? "
"No I am fine, it's just I am tired."
"What do you like to see first"
"leather armour, gloves, boots and a robe ,Do you have these ?"
"Best in the town sir, Please wait a minute."
He bowed once more and went deep inside the store.
He is professional, I didn't see any change in his expression like siala, who is just stoic.
I turned to look around the store.It is quite an old shop and full of shabby Clothes .There are some armours,shoes,swords and other things present for sale too.
"Aarav"
siala called me and I turned to look .
She wore a deep blue gown with silver embroidery and decorated with pearls. She looks like the Moon in a star embedded Night.
Those girls also do her hair and she looks like a princess now.
My jaw dropped and a smile appeared on my face that made her blushing red.
'To cute to handle'
But,
"I am sorry , I think I gave you wrong instructions when I said, show a dress for her. Can you Please show me armours, robes and other necessary items for newbie explorers."
Those girls nodded in sync and Siala's face turned sour. Oh, I made her angry again.
They went inside.
"Quite a show Sir Aarav.A man should not show her feelings easily."
The old man returned with a big case and put it down in front of me.
"This thing here is the best product of our shop"
He opened the case and there was a full set of Equipment for a first tier Explorer like Head guard, neck guard, armour, shoulder protector, waist guard etc.
I analysed it silently,
'Armour of Fallen Hero (Cursed)
Creator - xxxxxxxxxxx
Discrimination -
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
I can't see its details, It must be a high class item. I can remove its curse and I have to put a size alteration spell as well if it doesn't have it.
"How much does it cost ?"
"300000 Zills Sir aarav, I have put some discount as well".
That is quite a fortune even for a nobel like me.But That much price for a cursed item.I looked at the owner.
How can he maintain his professional smile, even though he is going to loot someone.
"Isn't it too much for a cursed item."
"My apologies Sir Aarav, I didn't know you are proficient in Analysis skill. But this armour is no less than Myth grade."
A myth grade item in capital for sale, That may be the reason for its unreadable description but still It could have caused an uproar in capital.
"Why are you selling a myth grade Equipment set ?"
"Its professional secret Sir aarav ."
Huhh, He doesn't want to tell me.
"200000 Zills and About the blue dress she wore."
"I am sorry sir but i Can't sell it at such a low price. How about 280000 Zills and That dress will be a gift from me."
That is quite a nice offer but still it is too much.
"230000 Zills, We can be good future partners, I will buy other cursed items in future as well."
I said with a smile
"270000 Zills, It will be an honour for me to sell you our product, feel free to come any time."
He still maintained my smile, quite frustrating.
"240000 Zills last offer, You are quite a professional for a store assistant and I can see you were once a Warrior."
"250000 Zill last offer i can give you and You have pretty keen eyes sir Aarav"
We did our deal, negotiation went well for me, I saved 50000 Zills , quite an amount.
Selling all the loot of yesterday, I could have got at most 50000 Zills.
"Aarav, Are you done here ?"
"Siala , Did you find anything ?"
She has a bag in her hand.
"Yes I got these things."
There was a white rob with green embroidery and a golden lotus at the back , A leather chest protector and A pair of long sleeve shoes
.
Quite a choice.
I looked at the old man and he nodded,
"Siala Wait outside, I will buy this for you."
"I can buy it myself, Did you forget who I am
?"
"It's a gift for you, so just accept it ok."
"But.."
"Just accept it or I will never talk to you again."
She silently nodded and left the store.
She is too easy to handle.
"Now Mr Store owner, Shall we start our negotiations."
It was evening, After shopping That nearly drained all my money, The robe she chose was a unique garde Robe.
It cost me 140000 Zills but it's fine. I have some plans for Siala to get all my money back.
After that we went to a restaurant and I found out about her food taste.
She likes sweet things. Then we went to the zoo and aquarium.
I saw her smiling sometimes but she quickly hid it.
I can say she enjoyed it.
Now we are just roaming around the city like freebies enjoying our Capital tour.
"Siala, What are your plans for tomorrow ?."
"I will go Hunting down the Mountain and train my magic."
"Let's go on an expedition together ?"
I asked her,
"What is An expedition? "
"It is like a rank improving exam. I am currently a third tier Explorer so if I pass in the expedition , I will be promoted to the second tier. In Expedition Donatus will assign me a test."
I was walking beside her and telling her about my plans when I saw someone running and searching something around here and there.
"Oh Hey Lord Krishna How are you ?"
