The next day.
Davis finally got permission from Claire and Logan to roam the Royal Capital. They agreed only on one condition. That was, he must accompanied by the Royal Guard at all times, at least close by.
Renard and two guards who were at the third step were assigned to him. The two guards were basically at the Iron Stage and Revolving Core Stage. Only Renard was at the Peak Level Iron Stage, High Level Revolving Core Stage and Mid Level Nascent Soul Stage.
Davis was excited to have the chance to roam around the Royal capital. He felt like a child who was going to experience a field trip. Of course, he didn't know what that feeling was since he didn't get to experience one.
Davis, Ellia and the Royal Guards had just exited the Royal Castle. He was still wearing the royal outfit, while the Royal Guards wore shiny Red Armor.
They went inside a carriage that reeked of the word 'Royalty'. It had royal blue patterns all over it's body, indicating that it was from the Royal Family.
After being seated, the carriage took off. They were all silent.
Davis felt like he had to say something.
"I've waited for this so long, Renard."
"Yes, Prince. I've heard that you've been cooped up all year in the Royal Castle."
"Hmm, that was pretty sad." Davis replied sadly and suddenly he remembered.
"Oh yeah, I've never got to thank you for rescuing me from that place. Thank you, Mister Renard."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No need to thank me, Prince. It was my duty after all." Renard said it with an indifferent face.
"Hehe.. Don't be so stiff, I want to make friends too." Davis narrowed his eyes.
"Friends? But my status doesn't al…"
"If I say I wanna make friends, then I want to make friends, you got something to say about it?" Davis shot a glare, using his identity as a child to throw a tantrum.
"…" Eliia and the others.
"Prince, you can't be like this. You have your position and status as a Prince. Please don't make it difficult for us." Renard smiled wryly.
If word gets out that he made friends with the Prince, then he will be suspected of taking advantage of the Prince's kindness.
"..Alright." Davis then realised that his kindness can also be fatal sometimes.
Davis then looked outside the carriage. The scenery was beautiful with buildings built in many different styles. On one side he could see an Old Japanese styled Manor, and on the other side, he could see an old Chinese styled Manor. Seeing that, Davis was shocked .
"What is this? Why is the buildings a mixture of so many cultures?"
"Cultures? Oh! The Prince means the architecture of the building? There are many types of architectures available from the Ancient Era. This is the New Age Era, so we don't differentiate between cultures anymore, we just take them as a type of architecture." Renard explained.
'New Age Era! I've read about it. Looks like the Ancient Era had many people from Earth visiting this world. Looks like I'm not the only one.' Davis thought
"Legend has it that the Sky Word Emperor sacrificed his life to bring the end of the Ancient Era. He was a man with a great ambition. He managed to use his power to grant a new language to all the living beings in the universe. This led to people and beasts communicating much better and creation of a New Era, the New Age Era."
"Oh, now I know why it is being called the Sky Word Language or the Language of the World." Ellia commented.
Davis kept looking at the window. He could see people walking to and fro, sometimes staring at the carriage with awe. He could see the City Guards in every street they went, they were at least at the second stage in either the Body Cultivation System or the Essence Gathering System.
Just as the carriage was passing by, he saw a building that was 4 storeys high. There was a big board in front of the building, 'Cauldon Emporium' was etched into that.
"Stop the carriage."
"What is it Prince?"
"I want to visit that Emporium, stand guard here."
"As you command, Prince Davis. If there are any emergencies, immediately contact me." Renard handed him a crystal.
"I got it." Davis took the crystal and placed it in his Storage Ring. Yesterday, he got a Earth Grade Storage Ring as his birthday present from his father.
They got out of the carriage, Davis and Ellia arrived in front of the Cauldon Emporium while the Royal Guards stood near the Carriage.
A person immediately arrived from the Cauldon Emporium. He was dressed wealthy, his body decorated with all kinds of jewelries. He had short green hair. He was plump and ran with dragged steps.
"This.. please forgive me for arriving late to pick you up, my Prince."
"It's fine, I never said that I was going to visit this place earlier."
"I thank the Prince for his understanding. My name is George Cauldon, I'm currently the manager of this Emporium. Let's go inside, shall we?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDavis nodded his head looking coolly.
They then started walking inside the Emporium. He could see a lot of sellers with boards in their respective stalls, some even possessed a shop.
"So what is this place for?"
"My Prince, this place is our Cauldon family's Emporium, we sell various kind of items here. It also acts as a marketplace. A lot of vagabonds and merchants also come here to setup their shops here since we also provide high security for their merchandise."
"Oh? You mean that I can also setup a shop here?"
"Hoho, the Prince sure can joke."
"No, I'm serious."
"This.. the prince can also setup a shop but no one would dare to compete with you leading to less income for us."
"Haha, you are straightforward, I like it."
They chatted for a few minutes as they walked. Just when they passed by the Cauldon Pill Store, Davis paused and looked at it.
"Oh, that is our Pill Store, we sell various pills of great quality in there." George explained briefly.
He unhurriedly walked into the store. A young lady came forward and greeted them gracefully.
"Hurry, the prince is here. Get the Young Mistress here to greet the Prince." George hurriedly sent a Soul Transmission to her.
'What!?'
She was utterly dumbfounded, then hurriedly nodded her head and went inside.
