YM778.TV Chapter 411 - Alice-part Three-
Alice continued her walk towards the fancy part of Levier, here, there were a lot of shops that normal people couldn\'t enter, not only because they couldn\'t afford even a single item in the shop but also was a matter of status.
Alice was new in the town, so every merchant look at her with curiosity.
"What a fine young lady, she is so feminine and beautiful"
"She must be from a rich family in the capital"
"I smell business!"
All the merchants looked at Alice and began their approach.
Although, it wasn\'t as easy as they thought…
"Young lady, this jewelry comes from the capital, would you-"
"My young lady isn\'t interested"
"This lady, you are so beautiful! However! With this perfume-"
"My young lady isn\'t interested"
"These clothes…"
"My young lady is not interested"
The bodyguard of Alice drifts out all the merchants, they couldn\'t even get close to offer their products before Art appeared.
"That bodyguard takes his job too seriously" Though all of them.
"How strange, this Alice is…" Said Katherine.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, she came to the market of the nobles, but she isn\'t buying anything"
"Maybe she is just sightseeing?"
"I don\'t know, if you don\'t at least buy something, you are practically yelling that you don\'t have the money to buy it, you understand what I mean?"
"Hmph, the nobles in this city had too much free time!" Said Ezequiel.
"I won\'t deny that, anyway, it seems that this lady Alice is not buying anything, I wonder why did she come here then?" Said Katherine.
They followed, alongside some nobles who had too much free time, to see what this new noble would do.
They followed Alice until she arrived at a small stand. There, a young woman dressed in black was
"Young lady, you came!" Said the lady in black.
Behind her, a few kids appeared and smiled when they saw Alice.
"Is the beautiful sister!"
"Is her!"
"She came! She came!"
The children run towards Alice and hugged her.
"Are they?"
"I think that they are… from the church?"
"Church? Oh yeah, there is indeed a church… but I thought that they were in the capital, what are they doing in Levier Town?"
"I heard that they are in a mission, to help people in despair or something among those lines"
Ezequiel and Katherine knew a bit more than the average noble. The church had almost zero influence in Levier town, the same couldn\'t be said in the capital, where their influence was vast. They came a few years ago and had some seeds in Levier, although, they weren\'t so deep, the church basically survived with the charity of people, they did some good service helping the poor and the ones in need with food and a shelter, Levier had a ridiculous amount of street children, this was due to the fact that soldiers died in battle constantly and the children became orphans without money.
The duty of the nobles in Levier was to look for those children, however, due to the dispute between the two families, more and more children didn\'t receive the support they should have.
"This stupid war between families" Though Ezequiel.
Alice smiled at the children and nodded towards Art.
In an instant, Art took out a small pouch that contained almost 20 gold coins!
"Oh my god!"
"This kind of money…"
Art took the money and gave it to the woman dressed in black.
The woman dressed in black was stunned and wanted to return the money, however, knowing that she was going to react like this, Alice took the hand of the woman and closed it.
She shook her head to the sides and smiled.
"My young lady wants you to take this money" Said Art.
The woman in black looked at Alice and a few tears escaped from her cheeks.
She nodded and bowed to the ground.
"I always thought that god looks after us, I now know that he sent an angel for us" Said the young woman.
Alice panicked a bit after seeing the woman in black, so she quickly helped her.
"Pretty sister! Can you do that again!?"
"Yes! Yes! That!"
"Pretty please, big sister~"
All the children run towards Alice and grabbed her dress.
Alice smiled bitterly and nodded.
The kids, after seeing Alice\'s nod, smiled and jumped cheerily.
One of the kids, run towards the stand and took out a wooden guitar.
"Here!" Said the kid.
"Thanks" Said Alice while patting the small kid on the head.
She sat in the stand of the woman in black and began to move her delicate fingers.
"Tarara~ rara~ rara~"
"Tararan rara rarara~"
Alice played the guitar while, with her delicate voice, sang alongside.
She didn\'t sing lyrics, she just went with the flow of the song.
Ezequiel and Katherine were stunned.
But they weren\'t the only ones, the nobles in the surroundings were stunned as well.
"Guitar is known for being an instrument used by the lower classes" Said Katherine.
"As, nobles, play more delicate instruments like the flute and such…"
"Brother…"
"I know" Said Ezequiel.
"How come…"
"How come a guitar, a lower instrument, sounds so good!!" Said Katherine with emphasis.
Everyone thought the same, as nobles, they have their own prejudice about, well, everything.
From the clothes, you should wear to the food you eat and the instruments you play.
The fact that Alice didn\'t even get mad went the children came close to her and dirty her dress was something too illogical for them to understand.
"This girl Alice… is so different" Said Katherine.
"But…"
She smiled with confidence.
"I LIKE HER!" She shouted.
"Brother!"
"What?"
"I have decided; I want her as my sister-in-law!"
"You don\'t have to say it, I already made up my mind" Said Ezequiel.
He smiled and saw Alice who was still singing with a smile on her face.
"She is perfect, the perfect for me, I will make her mine, no matter the cost" He said.
When Alice finished, everyone applauded while the children once more hugged Alice.
"Remind me again where did you learn to play the guitar?" Murmured Art.
"I was a young man who just got in university in the 90\'s you know? If you wanted to have a shot with girls, you had to at least know how to play the guitar~" Murmured Alice with a smile.
