Loki looked out the window and watched the scenery outside, the towering brick infrastructures, the brick roads, the crowds of people on the side of the road, and countless carriages traveling with the carriage where he was.
The kingdom of Satirica was a massive kingdom that was home to more than a million citizens, and wherever Loki looked, all he could see was crowds upon crowds of people. When the carriage took a turn, his eyes darted to the scenery of the largest infrastructure of the kingdom—the castle of Satirica. Even though the castle was very far from his location, Loki could clearly see the beautiful silhouette of the building.
"Welcome to the kingdom of Satirica, Loki," Milfy said, staring at Loki with a smile on her face. "This is your first time here, right?"
"Yes. I would honestly say that it is much more beautiful than I expected." Loki said with a serious expression on his face.
"As a traveler, you must have been to many beautiful places before," Rika said, sitting next to Milfy.
"Yes. A lot of beautiful places." Loki answered and returned his gaze back to the road. 'School and house, then, office and house.' He murmured to himself, considering his life on Earth as uneventful.
When they reached their destination, the sun had fallen and the night sky was dominated by the stars and one bright moon. Their carriages entered a massive gate and were greeted by massive grasslands surrounding the white brick roads, some of which would lead to the mansion located in the middle of the property.
Then, the other carriages where the bodyguards were, took separate paths, leaving only one carriage moving in front of the mansion. The remaining carriage stopped right at the entrance of the white mansion with blue roofs. The coachman opened the gate and the first one who came out was Milfy, followed by Rika and Loki.
Loki wandered his eyes around and almost dropped his jaw due to the scenery of the entire place. The mansion in front of him was so massive he looked like a speck of dust in comparison.
'What the fuck? This is much bigger than I expected! Hot fox lady told me that she's rich, but not ridiculously rich!' Loki thought. He crossed his and just slowly nodded.
The double wooden door of the entrance opened and 60 maids came out and stood at the side of the brick road between the entrance of the carriage. With synchronization, the maids bowed their heads. "Welcome home, Lady Milfy."
"Let's go inside, Loki, I know you are already hungry after days of traveling," Milfy said and walked toward the entrance of the mansion with such elegance in her every movement. Without saying a word as she passed through everyone, her aura which demanded respect from anyone who laid eyes on her made her already stunning beauty more apparent.
"Isn't she beautiful? She's the most beautiful woman I know." Rika said with a smile.
Loki slowly shifted his gaze to Rika. The emotion on his face didn't change, but he slowly nodded. "She is." He answered and followed after Milfy. As he and Rika passed through, all the eyes of the maids were on him, watching his movement.
Then, the three of them sat at the table in the dining room. Milfy sat at the base of the table while Loki and Rika were facing each other. They ate silently.
Not until the three of them were eating did Milfy begin to talk. "Loki, may I ask, what is your intention of coming here?"
"A little bit complicated... I have a duty that I need to accomplish, and this place is the only place I can start with it." Loki answered.
"So, you are planning to stay here for a long time?" Milfy asked.
'Well, it depends on if the freaking dark lord won't know that I was summoned into this world and currently in this place and send people to chase after me. I want to at least master my ability to some extent before facing them.' Loki thought. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Milfy's eyes staring at him. "If nothing drastic changes happen, I may stay in this kingdom for the meantime... But depending on the situation, I would leave now or tomorrow if I needed to."
"Goal oriented, I see." Milfy nodded. "But I would say, the cost of living in this kingdom is quite high."
"I can manage myself," Loki replied. 'I think...' He added but didn't voice out.
"I won't doubt that," Milfy said, half of her lips rising. "Based on what I have seen so far, I am confident that you can easily manage in any given situation." She raised her hand. "But due to the favor you did for us earlier, I'll ask you to listen to my suggestion. It will save you a lot of money and time."
Loki cleared his throat. "Sure, let me hear it."
"I was just thinking because you saved our lives, I'll let you stay here. I am giving you the privilege to live with us in this grand mansion for as long as you want, this place is too spacious for all of us anyway." Milfy suggested.
"Yes, you can do that. If you no longer need to pay for food and room rent, you can just focus on your duty. It will make your purpose much easier than it should." Rika said with a smile. "Furthermore, we have a lot of guest rooms."
"I am not sure if that's how gratitude works, but sure. Who am I to reject your kind offer?" Loki answered, but his face turned more serious. "However, I can't take it as free. I am the type of person who likes to earn the things I have—if I want a house, I will provide myself with one, if I want clothes, I'll buy myself. So, living here just because of what happened earlier is not a good trade for your sake. But because you are kind enough to take me in, in exchange, if you need my help, just ask and I'll do my best in my power to help you—as long as the favor is reasonable for me."
"We have a deal then," Milfy said. "Don't worry, if I need you to do anything for me... I won't be shy to ask you directly." She added with an alluring smile on her lips.
Loki stared at Milfy's stunning face before slowly nodding. "Yes. We have a deal."
