Will of chaos

“Huh!” (I)

The next morning I get up next to Diana who has some blood running down her lips as she has a small smile so I put my hand to my ear and see that she is bleeding.

“That’s a bad way to wake up.” (I)

I get up and go to the downstairs bathroom, as the entire tower was reserved for us as guests, I hadn’t put on anything but some pants as I was going to take a shower before putting on my real clothes.

“How can I help, sir?” (creepy butler)

“I… I’m… I’m fine, I’m going to… I’m going back to the room.” (I)

“(I think I can take a shower after leaving this Realm.)” (I)

But along the way, I met a butler who was clearly stronger than I was, and I was very scared.

What scared me was not the strength of this butler, it was the look of lust in his eyes looking at me so I ran out of there as fast as I could flying to the bedroom and putting on full clothes after using a simple water spell to get me to wash.

I wouldn’t go into a bathroom alone after seeing that butler.

After everyone woke up we went to eat something in the dining room dedicated to visitors in this tower, I really liked that there was no seafood at all.

The food was delicious with flavors I’ve never tasted before, a purple meat was especially tasty, there was also a boiled egg my size on the table which was delicious, the fruits that I’m sure were put on the table just for decoration were delicious and I hadn’t seen them until now.

“Ibuki will be very angry when he hears about this feast he didn’t attend.” (Diana)

“Lilith too.” (Vanessa)

“I think Caryna and Freya got angrier, they both love to try new foods and ingredients.” (I)

“Don’t worry, Ragnar ran to the kitchen dragging one of the maids to talk to the cook.” (Vanessa)

“He’ll want to know the name of all the ingredients and the recipe.” (Sakura)

“Looks like we’re going to expand the menu again.” (I)

“I want candy, why don’t you have candy!?” (Layla)

“Candy in the morning isn’t very healthy, I’ll get you something later.” (I)

———–

After everyone was satisfied and having dragged Ragnar out of the kitchen after one of the cook’s assistants came begging for it, we were taken to a room in the Palace, the same as before, but this time there was only Prince Wagner waiting for us there.

I greeted him before taking a seat at the table facing him.

“Have you decided where you want to go?” (Wagner)

“Yes, I will avoid a city bordering this city for obvious reasons, so I will go to a realm beyond.” (I)

“I will cross the Paryne Kingdom and go straight to the Haffes Kingdom.” (I)

“This is a rural Kingdom that lives off the fruit trade, from all the options, why go there?” (Wagner)

“I have my reasons, but I would like to know what the national religion there is?” (I)

“They worship the Goddess of Life Mavis, other than that the Goddess of Nature and God of Harvest religions are also strong there” (Wagner)

“As I expected.” (I)

“Do you want to escape the influence of the Religions that persecute you?” (Wagner)

“Yea.” (I)

“(Also I want to steal some fruit trees and other ingredients they grow there, I think I would have to expand the farms floor more.)” (I)

“So will I be able to meet you in the capital of the Haffes Kingdom?” (Wagner)

“No, I’m going to Torga town, I’ll try to avoid the capital, for now, I don’t plan on staying there too long either.” (I)

“I see, so you already have the list you mentioned yesterday?” (Wagner)

“Yes, here’s the list.” (I)

I grab a storage crystal, the list might have gotten a little big since Layla went to get the list with Nira, she arrived at the Dungeon behind the gate that leads to the Cradle of Faeries in my shadow.

“What about the budget?” (Wagner)

“It’s here, I imagine it’s enough for everything on the list, but if not, you can talk to me and I’ll pay the difference when we’re out of here, in case you have any money you can keep it regardless of the value.” (I)

I pass him a bag that doubles as a storage item, he looks at the money inside and is surprised, after which he pulls out a reading crystal to see the list he spends several minutes reading.

“Some of these items are prohibited or have strong restrictions on their purchase.” (Wagner)

“I don’t understand the laws and rules of this continent very well, I arrived here yesterday, so just discard these items as it would not be possible to acquire them.” (I)

“I can acquire all of them, as a Trade Kingdom we still have connections in the underworld, but we do this to compare dangerous items before certain people get their hands on them.” (Wagner)

“Alright, just discard these items.” (I)

The illegal items he talks about are likely the pieces of magical engineering that Nicolas put on the list as he had taken out the poisons Lyra asked for before handing over the list.

“Here is also a list of things I can sell you.” (I) 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

I pass another storage crystal which Prince Wagner takes and swaps with the other on his reading crystal as soon as he places the small crystal cube and starts looking at the list but to no surprise.

“Are the items on this list very well described, have they been evaluated by someone specialized, or do you have direct contact with the artisans?” (Wagner)

“…” (I)

I just smile at him without answering, so he smiles back, trying to get answers out of me wouldn’t do any good, I’m not that naive.

“I will talk to the Commerce Guild about these items, but these dresses are…” (Wagner)

“Provocative?” (I)

“Yes, the various effects, resistances, and other things are nothing new to us, but this type of model is very interesting, I’m sure it would sell well.” (Wagner)

“Don’t I see normal people buying these things?” (I)

“You’re wrong, you never know what a person is doing in the comfort of their home, plus there are certain types of work that will benefit from these clothes.” (Wagner)

“We can negotiate something after you take a look at the rest of the items on the list.” (I)

————-

After leaving the shopping list and sales list with him, we made a deal about certain products I would like to buy for his Kingdom, told him that I would have his order ready when we meet in 1 month.

After that I left with my group accompanied by some guards wearing Adventurer’s armor, we entered a commercial caravan and left for the city towards the gates.

Sigh

“I arrived yesterday and I’m leaving today, what a pity.” (I)
