Having one in his bet against Algernon Scriven, Marcus returned back to his table with a triumphant expression on his face.
It had been a long time since he had put a spoiled noble child in their place, and he did enjoy the feeling of doing so.
Of course, Mrazivý noticed the look on his face, and said, “Was that really necessary? If you had just called me over, I probably could have resolved it without it escalating that far. Now it is likely that he will try to seek some sort of vengeance against you.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Marcus said, “He was being a jerk to the staff, so I put him in his place. Anyway, he would not have learned his lesson if you were the one ho admonished him. And if he wants to try and get even, he will find that he is not dealing with someone that rolls over easily.”
Shaking her head, Mrazivý thought Marcus was being a bit foolish to pick a fight like this just for the fun of it.
Still, she could not deny that she found Algernon’s behavior abhorrent and an example of nobles swinging around their authority improperly.
Soon, the food that they had ordered was brought to their table, and they began eating the breakfast that they had been waiting for.
Naturally the food was delicious, and all of them very much enjoyed what they had to eat..
Though for the other guests, it was an incredibly shocking sight to watch Marcus who currently looked like a dainty young woman, devour enough food to fill up a bear.
He methodically ate each and every dish he had ordered and even took notes as he went.
“Yes, this one is really good, and I think I have some ideas for variations. Maybe a different fruit to add another flavor? Or I could try glazing them with honey?” Marcus thought, analyzing one of the dishes he was eating.
After they had finished the staff came and took their plates, and the viscount who owned the restaurant came up to Marcus.
“I would like to personally thank you Lady Irene for defending my restaurant. This place is my pride and joy, and it would have been difficult if Lord Algernon’s father really took any action. Also, you are welcome anytime you want. I will make sure that if you ever come by a table will be prepared for you.”
Once the viscount had finished praising Marcus and thanking him, he moved over to Mrazivý and began kissing up to her, saying that he would be happy to have her as a regular customer.
Eventually though, the viscount had to get back to his work and bid them all ado.
“Well, that was a pretty good meal. So how about we move onto our next stop, which are some of the vibrant parks around the city.” Marcus said once they were done having breakfast.
Exiting the Sublime Fantasia, their group got back into Lyra’s carriage and made their way to explore the areas of natural beauty that had been left within the large city.
Going through them they all enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and the lush landscapes that were full of flowers in bloom now that it was summer.
Truly while the winters were brutal in Borealia, the summers were fully of beauty and right now the park they were going through was the epitome of that beauty.
“Oh, we do not have these types of roses in Tralenstein. Do you know what they are called?”
Being the one who was most into the fields of flowers that dotted the park, whenever Lyra spotted them, she would ask questions about the ones she did not know.
Of course, neither Marcus, Mrazivý, or Quillon had any idea about these flowers, not being much for learning about things like the names of plants.
Surprisingly though, Lilia knew most of them having read an encyclopedia about the flora that grew in Borealia.
So, as they spent there last hours of the morning in the park, Lilia and Lyra became fast friends over their interest in plants.
Soon, the sun had risen high into the sky, marking the time of midday and their group moved on.
Now that they had explored some of the natural areas of the city, it was time to go around the center of the inner city where high end shops were plentiful.
Going around they went into dozens of different stores, looking at things from clothing and jewelry to weapons and armor.
“Now I have saved the best for last. Welcome to the Blazegram Forge.” Marcus said, as he opened up the doors to his place of work.
Heading inside everyone greeted Marcus happily, and he quickly showed them around the floor of the forge where people were hard at work, before taking them over to the shop where the fruits of their labor was sold.
Heading inside everyone looked around with interest at the weapons, armor, and other magical items on display.
They had already been to a number of similar stores, but there was no doubt that this place had the greatest quantity of high-quality goods.
Though along with that quality came higher prices. Still, when you were buying something that would help keep you alive, you wanted to buy the best you could.
“Oh, I found one of your pieces, Irene. But what exactly is it?” Mrazivý said, looking at one of the weapons Marcus had made.
It was a pair of mithril claws that were attached to each other by a chain, and she had never seen anything like it before.
“Yeah, I remember this one now. It is based on a weapon from my original world, called grabbing claws. I think? I was just messing around when I made them and some other very exotic weapons. I am kind of surprised that they are on display.”
Continuing on, Marcus introduced everyone to Gurrom and Thabon, before they headed out of the forge.
At this point the day was beginning to wind down, so they hopped back into their carriage and made their way to the castle.
Mrazivý had made arrangements so that they would all be staying there tonight, before being allowed to explore the place the next day.
Quickly they made it into the castles’ area, and even though he had seen it before the Borelian castle was still jaw dropping to see.
Even Quillon who was normally stone faced, looked at it with an impressed expression.
The five of them were then led into the castle and to the rooms that had been prepared for them to stay in.
As the day turned to night, they all found refuge in their own rooms, and went to sleep until the next day when they would be able to look around the castle.
And when that time came Marcus and Mrazivý took them around to the hotspots of the castle such as the kitchen, main hall, and atrium.
In fact, they when they were finished with the days exploration, they sat down in the flower garden and had their dinner in the peaceful and magnificent place that was even more dazzling than it had been before.
