Chapter 49: Aleshia Is Not Ready For Night Services (1/2)

”You don't seem to be sick.”

Aleshia pondered in thought. The temperature she felt from Lawrend's forehead was not enough for him to be considered sick.

”That's because I'm not.”

Lawrend replied with his face burning red. He moved away from her as the closer she was, the more his heart beat quicker.

”I see. That's a relief then.”

Aleshia sighed in relief. She became worried for a second over nothing.

Time passed quietly as they waited for their turn. Aleshia would drive the carriage forward from time to time as the carriages in front of them moved forward.

Lawrend was behind the curtain at the front of the carriage. He couldn't help but glance towards it from time to time. Contrary to what you might think, he was not looking at the curtain but rather at the woman behind it. She was sitting calmly while waiting for the carriage in front to move.

'Just what is going on with me?'

Lawrend touched his chest and felt the rapid beating of his heart. It was thundering, and this was the first time that Lawrend had ever felt something like this.

Lawrend shook his head and pulled the curtain at the back of the carriage, and looked outside. He tried to calm himself down, but for some reason, he was feeling gritty. It was as if his body wanted to do something, but he couldn't put it into words.

It took almost an hour, but Lawrend and Aleshia were finally able to enter the city. The moment they entered the city, the bustling noises from the peddlers and the crowd hit their ears.

It was a familiar experience to Lawrend, but it was plainly apparent that this city was more bustling than Lanika City. The economy in this place was booming. A long line of restaurants and shops lined the street into the city.

”Amazing…”

Lawrend murmured in awe. This level of bustling was almost at the level of the cities in the memories of his past life. It was shocking to Lawrend as the city in his memories had at least 250,000 residents. Just how many residents does this city have!?

”Young Master, do you want to stay at an inn?”

Aleshia asked Lawrend, who was looking outside through the front of the carriage and turning his head from left to right.

”Let's stay at a luxury inn.”

Lawrend nodded his head. He could imagine the noisy crowd that would be inside the average inns in this bustling city. He doesn't like being in such crowded places.

”I understand, Young Master.”

Aleshia nodded her head candidly. She understood him. As a noble, he would not be used to the atmosphere inside an average inn.

They quickly found an inn. It was named 'Bleak Skies Inn'. It was a pretty small inn, but it was obvious as there would only be so few that could afford to stay here.

The carriage was taken by an inn staff to park behind the inn as a service to its customers.

”Welcome to the Bleak Skies Inn. What room would you like, sir?”

A beautiful receptionist greeted them the moment they entered the establishment. She had a petite body and a dolled-up face. She was wearing a black tight skirt and a white round-neck shirt.
