Chapter 25 - Chapter 22 : Information Obtained

Mr Brown opened his eyes, he saw Lisa sleeping next to him. He looked at the time it was 7:30 am. He looked her smile while she was breathing.

Mr Brown thinking : She must have done something last night.

He freshen up and does his work. When he looked at the time it was 8:30am.

Mr Brown : Lisa, it's 8:30, get up.

He pulls the quilt as he says.

Lisa : I ... see. She opened her eyes. Did you use the bathroom? You smell like lime.

Mr Brown : Dummy, you forgot, you told me to get up early.

Lisa : So the bathroom is for me!

Mr Brown : Please go in. Your...Highness

Lisa : Don't call me that, remember what happened, when you did that?

Mr Brown : Yup, but now the room is locked.

Lisa : Hmmph! She goes in the bathroom. After an hour, she comes out with her hair wet.

Mr Brown has his tea ready as he read the newspaper.

Lisa : You ordered the tea.

He looks up.

Mr Brown : Yes, I did. Is there a problem?

Lisa calmly : No, I just asked.

Mr Brown : Well, that dress looks good on you.

Lisa was wearing a white jean and a black shirt which had glittering frills on it.

Lisa : Thanks, you too look good in plain clothes.

Mr Brown was wearing a black jean and the pink top.

Mr Brown : Come let's go. We have to find something to do or I will get bored.

Lisa : Anyways, we look into the nobles today.

Mr Brown : Why the nobles?

Lisa : I read in a book that there are supposed to be caring and kind to a "stranger." She emphasized on the word stranger.

Mr Brown : What of it?

Lisa annoyed : Don't you want to have fun? You just said I'm bored and I am suspicious of that fact, so let's just check on them.

Mr Brown : Ok! Better doing something than nothing.

They give the key and exit from the place. While they find something to do. there were whispering about the information each got.

Lisa : The hierarchy here is different than on Milkstars. This place is ruled by the king. The lands are owned nobles aka landlords. The land in which the peasants, farmers and poor people live in these lands. They have to pay taxes or the nobles will take the land and give it to some else. The travellers come under the resting house or hotels.We were in a grandiose hotel. Since, we fooled them by giving them stones that looked like gold/silver coins.

Mr Brown : Did you have to learn every single thing? You did not study history of our planet, but the present. Here, you learn the history but not present.

Lisa : I went to the history section. Which section did you take your books from?

Mr Brown : The news and important section.

Lisa : No wonder, you are talking like this. Tell me the information you've obtained.

Mr Brown : The king has imposed heavy taxes on the people. We, travellers are forced to take atleast one thing from a shop or there will be consequences.

Some people show kindness here, like the seller from yesterday. The most important thing is, now that you mentioned earlier, the nobles are kind to the travellers who do not have money to stay in a hotel or house. If you want to try the nobles, we'll see what happens. Well, the peasants are forced to flee from the excessive tax.

Lisa : I see. I think I will try the nobles. They seem to be interesting don't they?

Mr Brown : Why don't we teleport to a noble's house? I will check with my clairvoyance*, wait a second.

[Clairvoyance : The ability to see far of places by crossing his/her eyes.]

He moves to a side and crossses his eyes.

Mr Brown comes back and shows a serious expression to Lisa.

Mr Brown in a serious tone : Well, I guess to our right, we have a noble's house.

Lisa couldn't speak his expression was that serious.
