Arthur chatted with Anya for some time. In the meantime, Lena finished filling up her form. So, Anya took Her information to submit in the tower registry and get her a mage id card. There's no problem getting an Id for beginner as there is no test to take. Anyone can be a mage but there are some levels where you must take a test if you want to get a better ranking in mage Tower.
We waited for Anya to come back. At that time, I could see Lena acting pouty.
"what happened now? Why are you angry?"
"I am not angry. You were staring at Anya like a Perverted old man. Do you have some fetishes or something?"
"I find Anya cute. Just like I find you cute when you are angry. Don't you think that Anya looks cute when her tail wags in the air like a black whip."
"no, I don't find her cute. You mustn't stare at other girls that way master."
Woah, I was surprised by Lena's outburst. I honestly didn't think that lena can be so jealous. But I found her jealousy cute. Hmm, I think I must eat Lena quickly and down her jealousy. Once I conquer Lena, I wouldn't have to mind her jealousy anymore.
When we were bantering among ourselves, Anya came back with a black id. That is the proof of Lena becoming a member of MAGE TOWER. So, Lena happily took her id card. I said my goodbye to ANYA reluctantly. Seeing my reluctance, LENA stomped on my feet and went away. I could only follow her limpingly and I heard ANYA giggling behind me.
Once we were outside, I asked LENA where to go. But she ignored me. I guess she's still mad at me. So, I quietly followed behind her like an obedient puppy.
We roamed outside for a while before reaching a marketplace. When we came across this marketplace, I had a brilliant idea. I knew just the thing that will make any girl happy. So, I looked around to find it.
This wasn't the place where noble usually buy things. This place is for common folk. They buy and sell item's here. you can't find any useful items here. Most of the items here is either damaged or cheap imitation. But I wanted to give LENA a gift that makes her happy. So, I kept my eyes wide in search of anything that might do the job.
I roamed with LENA here and there in the market. But nothing caught my eyes. Just then I saw an old woman was sitting in a alleyway with some jewellery in front of her. I dragged LENA with me to the old woman's counter. I asked LENA to stay with me and be silent. Something tells me that this old woman and her jewellery are not ordinary.
I asked the old woman if she was selling this jewellery. She nodded her head. But she said that she will sell only one piece of jewellery to each. Also, we have to buy it at a fixed price. We cannot even haggle over the price. Both LENA and I were surprised by her conditions.
Lena wanted to interrupt but I stopped her by speaking first. The old lady smiled at us somewhat smugly. LENA WAS ANGRY WITH THE OLD LADY.
But I didn't let her speak. I chose a bracelet for LENA. It was blue in colour. It had a design of fire breathing bird on it. We couldn't clearly understand what kind of bird it is because the design is a little bit faded. I asked the old lady how much it was so she said that I have to give her 10000 gold coins for that bracelet. I was very shocked hearing the price. An average commoner family does not even see that much money in their whole life. But this old lady here was asking him for so much money for some faded bracelet.
But I still didn't say anything. I just stared at the old woman's eye for a while and nodded my head to indicate that I want to buy the bracelet. But my gut feelings told me that there's something special about these jewelleries. LENA looked very uncomfortable that I was wasting so much money for this bracelet. Even jewellery in the higher-class shop isn't that expensive.
I bought the bracelet and I personally put it on her wrist. The blue coloured wrist bracelet looked very beautiful on her. it's a shame that I can't buy all the jewellery from this old woman. I wanted to buy all the item in this shop. So, I tried persuading her to let us buy all the accessories in her shop. But she was adamant about sticking to her rules.
So, I could only give up. We left the shop and returned to stables for our horses. We couldn't enter the market with our horses as it was too crowded to move in a horse. That's why we left them in a stable outside.
We then began riding back home. When we were riding our horses, LENA asked me why I used so much money to buy a gift.
"did you like the gift?"
"yes, but its old and faded. Its not like I'm complaining but you could buy something much better at the same price. I think the old lady cheated you."
"Hahaha, you think I don't know. But I still bought this because my gut feeling says this jewellery that old lady sold us isn't ordinary."
"huh!! You wasted so much money because your gut feeling says so. Being wealthy must be very nice."
"c'mon, you liked the gifts, didn't you? That's all that matters for now."
"but don't do anymore stupid things like this ever again. If you get swindled every time some thing like this happens you won't have the money to buy anything you know."
"OK, I WILL BE careful from now on. So, don't worry about me. Let's think about you. What are you going to do now?"
"what!? What about me?"
"you have decided to become a mage, haven't you? So now you need to learn and improve your ability. Otherwise, I can't keep you as my retainer if you are weak. But, don't worry I have a plan."
