1463 Words
As they arrived at the gate. One of the knights stopped Cain and Filzer and asked for their identification card. Filzer was the first one to give his card and next was Cain. They have both acted normal as if they have been doing this for tens of years. “Ho.” Filzer gasped slightly as the knight gave Cain’s identification card and he took it with indifference in his face. They both successfully infiltrated Heloin City without being found out. Of course, this was because of Filzer’s exceptional skill of making fake IDs and their exceptional actings. “First, you need clothes. You can’t run around the city with only a robe.” Filzer spoke and led the way to the boutique. An expensive one. “Sure.” Cain just followed behind Filzer and only broke the silence after going in the shop. “It seems like the Stan household really doesn't matter to this kingdom.” He commented as he looked around the boutique filled with different obviously expensive clothing. Cain remembered how the knight who checked his identification card had scoffed upon reading his last name. He had seen how those guards bowed ninety degrees multiple times, their heads almost touching the floor, to other nobles on their way to the city. “Well, I guess our reputation will change now that we are moving.” Filzer casually spoke as he caressed one of the shirts hanging in a rack. Cain frowned at this because he didn’t know the fact the Stan household was solely created by Filzer and that he didn’t bother maintaining the sai household’s image for the past tens of years. No, hundreds of years. “What happened to the real Stan family?” Cain asked as he was curious how thcient Dragon managed to get the Stan household's last name. Filzer looked toward him with his eyebrow raised and a face that seemed to be asking, ‘what are you talking about?’. Cain had read the confusion in Filzer’s face as he explained his point. “I mean, how did you manage to make fake identity cards with yours and my true name?” Filzer chuckled as he finally realised his mistake of not explaining things thoroughly. “The Stan household is something that I created hundreds of years ago when the Aether Kingdom was still new. Well, I only created this household because I was bored.” ‘As expected of an ancient Dragon.’ Cain thought to himself as he turned away from Filzer who was smiling with pride. Dragon’s really can’t be compared to humans. Creating a household for their entertainment. This is a fact because one dragon could destroy one kingdom with Dragon’s Breath, so creating a household is like squashing an ant. “Ah, just so you know, the Stan estate is located here in Heloin City or should I say it is located outside the city walls?” Cain just nodded his head at Filzer’s information. He could care less if the Stan estate was inside or outside the Heloin City walls. However, this seemed to not be the case for Filzer. “Heloin City, when compared to a human life span, is just like a teenage boy. It is pretty new and has only been here for tens of years. The Heloin City was originally made for the Heloin family right after Marquis Heloin raised to his current rank.” “I see.” Cain nodded his head as he tried to look for clothing with a much simpler design than the ones Filzer was checking out. The people who were supposed to be assisting them were nowhere to be found. This was because earlier when Cain mentioned the Stan household the salespersons immediately distanced themselves from the two of them. “Hey.” Cain looked at Filzer when he spoke in a low voice but still sounded clear as if it was being transmitted to one's mind. Cain followed Filzer’s line of sight and realised that he was calling for the salespersons who were whispering to each other as if they didn’t hear Filzer calling to them. Cain leaned on the wall next to him and watched the scene with amusement in his eyes. His senses were sharper than an ordinary human. There were two reasons behind this. The first one was because he was a half-demon and a half-human while the second reason was because even though he had reincarnated to a different world in a different body he still has the senses of a king from his previous life. This may be the reason why he could hear the salespersons whispers. Cain could hear their whispers. He could hear their whispers which were all nothing but insults about the Stan household. “Why would the Stan household come here?” ‘Of course, to buy some clothes?’ Cain answered one of the salesperson’s inside his mind as if it was coon sense. “They shouldn’t have enough money to purchase even half of one piece of clothing here.” ‘Filzer has a lot more money than any of the nobles in the Aether Kingdom?’ “Aren’t they just looking around?” ‘Well, basically we are looking around to buy clothes?' Cain has an answer for each question whispered by each of the salespersons. “You i***t! If the nobles find out that two of the Stan family came here then, we will have to close our business!” 'Hmm. This can't get on.’ Cain thought and took a peak at Filzer’s direction. Cain, who has his senses sharpened because of his race and past experiences, knew that the ancient Dragon, Filzer, has an even more sensitive senses. ‘Wouldn’t Filzer flip everything over if those words get to him?’ Cain was worried that the ancient might destroy everything if he became mad from all of the insults being thrown at him. Well, being kept unsuccessfully. Cain was about to step up and call for the salespersons himself when Filzer’s voice thundered in the whole shop. “Excuse me. I would like to buy everything from here to there.” Filzer pointed from the rack beside him and turned around while his finger still pointed. Basically, he was telling them to pack everything in the store. The salespersons couldn’t ignore the ancient Dragon now because of how his words thundered not only in the physical space but also in their minds. “Umm. I’m sorry but this…” One of the salespersons’ started to speak, however, he stopped in the middle of his sentence when Filzer put his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a mid-sized pouch and threw it at the salesperson. The salesperson hurriedly catched it and the sound of clinking of metals could be heard. The pouch has tens of thousands of gold coins which was more than enough to buy at least two of the high rise commercial buildings in this city. The salesperson’s hands trembled, no, his whole body trembled as he looked at the contents of the pouch. “Pack it. And deliver it to the Stan estate. Oh, we’ll get this and this first.” Filzer said coldly and pointed at the complicated looking shirt and an expensive looking trousers. “Y-yes, sir.” The salesperson’s voice was trembling as he immediately ordered the others to immediately pack the clothes while he arranged the pair of clothes that Filzer pointed at. “T-this…” He reached his hands toward Filzer in a very respectful manner even though his shoulders to the tip of his fingers were shaking uncontrollably. “Cain changed into this then we’re leaving.” Filzer called Cain and pointed at the clothes. Cain grabbed them from the salesperson’s hands and looked around. He was looking for the fitting room to change. “Let me escort you, sir. I can also help you change your clothes.” The salesperson offered his help but Cain just stared at him for a few seconds. “Lead me to the fitting room and no need to help me change.” Cain spoke with indifference dripping from his voice like an acid. The salesperson seemed to have calmed down because the trembling of his body had ceased, although not entirely. However, his shivers became worse once more when Filzer spoke. “Make haste.” ‘Haa. You just have to scare him again.’ Cain shighed internally and followed behind the salesperson who was half-running to the fitting room. ‘The old Dragon is so cool.’ Cai thought. If ever the ancient Dragon heard his thoughts then he would have puffed his chest from the pride. Of course, this was not something that Cain would never admit, even subconsciously, to Filzer.
