The Fake Princess's Soul Contract Duke

Chapter 25: Sheridan City Market

Viscount Frederick Gallahan was not only a hero to the Kingdom of Agris, but he was also the savior of the Viscount Gallahan family, and made the family the only noble family to recover from the downturn.

Before becoming a Viscount, Frederick was the fourth son of the previous Viscount, Viscount Rowan Gallahan, with a servant. While pregnant, Frederick's mother was expelled from the residence of Viscount Gallahan, located at the western end of Sheridan, as a result of which she lived as an ordinary poor man for more than 15 years.

Although Frederick was a half-noble, yet he managed to get the blessing of magic power. Therefore, when Frederick was 15 years old, his father brought him back to the Gallahan Family residence.

During his life at the Viscount house, Frederick was always treated harshly with his three brothers and stepmother, while his own father never took care of him

This was because they were envious of the abilities of Frederick that exceeded them, not only in magic, but in sword arts as well, he was arguably a genius.

Envy turned to hate, whether the brothers and stepmother tried to kill him, how many times, moreover, it was added when his father had fallen ill and all the affairs of the Gallahan Family were held by the first son.

Fortunately, however, after a late baptism, Frederick was accepted into the Aethergarde section of the knight's academy. After 6 years of knight education, at the age of 22, Frederick was raised to become a knight in one of the 4 divisions of the royal knight army, which was also known as the royal knight, it was led by Duke Sheridan himself.

One year after joining, he performed a brilliant feat and managed to kill a giant chimera monster that once terrorized the kingdom. Thanks to that, Frederick won high support from the people, nobles, and also the king himself.

On the other hand, the Gallahan Family was getting worse and worse. Since Vicount Rowan died of illness, the family's finances have dwindled, let alone the three sons and Viscountess himself lived a life of funniness, as a result of which the Viscount Gallahan Family could not pay the debts that were piling up, and must fall from the hierarchy of nobility.

When Frederick was already famous, and received many gifts from the king, he finally returned to the residence of Viscount Gallahan to later take over the title of Viscount. With himself becoming a Viscount, he managed to rebuild Viscount Gallahan's family using his hard working capital, to make his family able to return to its present glory.

Hearing Mary's story about Sir Gallahan, Alianora slowly began to gain a little enlightenment on her memory. His feelings this time proved to be true again, about Eathen who seemed not to be just an ordinary figure.

Although actually Thalia never met with Eathen in three lives directly, the, yet he had heard the people around him discussing about a genius young knight who was one of the personal knights of Prince Noah. If Alianora did not remember wrongly, they also said that the identity of the knight was half noble, but Alianora did not know which noble, because the noble families in the Kingdom of Agris were very numerous.

Who knows, if the genius kstaria that was popular among noble women, commonly known as the Silver Sword, it was a disrespectful boy who often trained beside his house?

And Alianora felt lucky because of that.

Someone who will be one of the closest people to Prince Noah, even being one of the trusted, turns out to be nearby, it is a good start.

The faster he met all of Prince Noah's trusted people, the closer he got to his original goal.

Therefore, Alianora did not regret at all having dealt with the boy, only that maybe his attitude yesterday was not good, but it was still beyond repair. After all, the boy also seemed not to be too irritated by her.

Now, Alianora could not wait to see the boy again.

Anyway he should be friends with her.

"Mary, what do you think we should go to the store first, later?"

Alianora stuffed a piece of mango pudding into her mouth while sitting in front of the dressing table. That morning, Alianora was getting ready to go to the city to buy her training uniform. Fortunately today he did not have a theology class session, so he could go anytime and go home anytime, no one forbade.

"Hm, I think we should try to Miah Boutique Shop first, if you are not thinking of buying one that is too expensive, but still has good quality. But if you are thinking of choosing the expensive one, you can go to the Artemis Boutique, which is currently popular among noblewomen."

mary answered, putting a beret hat on Alianora's head.

Alianora thought for a moment.

It was obvious that she could not have gone to Artemis Boutique, if she did not want her jewelry to be sold out.

Means the only option he has is that Boutique Miah.

Can it be called a choice?

Cursed be this stingy Duke Family, even a legitimate daughter of their own is poor like this.

"Alright, Boutique Miah then, I don't need a very good, which is important cheap."

Alianora got up from her seat when Mary was done. He looked at the reflection of his reflection on the glass to see his appearance. Light brown dress with checkered motif, which is coated with a short cape and a dark brown ribbon in the middle.

Alianora sign-hm' agrees. This is enough, after all, he will also wear a dark coat from the outside so as not to attract too much attention.

After that, he took out his handle and a bag full of jewels and gemstones that he was going to sell, and went out.

*****

"Miss, do you need to sell everything?"

Alianora picked up one jewel and then laughed it off for a while before rubbing it a little and then put it back in the bag.

"Yes, maybe. Anyway until I get at least 10,000 soles."

The sol is the official currency of the Kingdom of England, which is a gold coin with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of England engraved there. Usually for the price of goods daily necessities for ordinary people revolve around hundreds of soles only, there are also those that touch the thousands but that include expensive. When there are commoners who hold or buy goods worth thousands of soles, they are usually rich traders, and also businessmen.

Another is with the nobles. For the nobles, their food every day could run out to thousands or even tens of thousands of soles a day. Not to mention their clothes and jewelry, it could be worth hundreds of thousands of soles per item.

Of course, Alianora did not want to spend that much money. Even though he said that he would prepare 10,000 soles of money, he would only buy training uniforms that cost a maximum of half of that amount or less. He did not want to spend this limited money quickly, who knew later in the future he needed it for more important matters.

Ah, but it seems like he also needs to think about how to increase his money if Kalisto doesn't give him the money right now.

Mary who was sitting in front of him, and told the coachman who would take them later.

"alright, miss. Then we'll go to the jewelry store first."

The trip to the city market location is not far away. Just a few minutes, Alianora Train is parked in the parking lot right next to the market.

Alianora got off the carriage after Mary, not forgetting to wear the hood of her coat neatly.

Some of the residents there are wearing ordinary clothes, some look expensive, some are wearing seprti hoods. Everyone is busy with their own business, some are selling on the side of the road, some are shopping. Such crowded scenery is common for the people of Sheridan, because the city of Sheridan itself is a port where, foreign traders from other kingdoms also exist.

Hence, the City of Sheridan is also called the trading center of the Kingdom of England.

Alianora stepped through each small cigarette shop selling various items, until she found a shop that was not too small, located in a hallway. In front of the store, there was a hanging board that read 'JEWELERY SHOP AND PRECIOUS STONES'.

Alianora and Mary enter.

When the doorbell rang, a short puffed up old man immediately glanced towards them from top to bottom.

"Welcome. Can I help you, miss?"

ask the man in a serious voice.

Alianora advanced to the front of the glass cabinet containing luxurious jewelry, then took out some of her jewelry and gemstones from the bag.

"I want to sell this. How muchisit?"

The man looked at Alianora and Mary briefly with a meaningful gaze, before taking one of the gold rings with a red gem, then looking at her with a magnifying glass.

"Hm, if you look at the quality of the gold, the middle class down, but the stone is the original ruby. 5000 sol."

Then he took back a white gold necklace with a diamond shaped pendant with a blue jewel. He frowned slightly, then looked at Alianora with a somewhat annoyed expression.

"Miss, I can't sell this one, the quality is already too low. Look, there's black patches everywhere. Ckckck, do noble ladies like you still use imitation jewelry."

Hearing that, Mary was immediately offended and replied to the man's words.

"Excuse me sir, you can't talk like that to miss-"

But, before Mary could have a serious argument with that person, Alianora immediately confronted her. It was because he did not want to waste any time there.

"Can it not at all? I will accept whatever price you give."

The man was seen pondering, then he glanced towards the small blue gemstone on the lionntin.

"Yes, this gemstone turns out to be a sapphire of medium quality, I can still price 2500 soles."

Agreed.

Then, the man took Alianora's last piece of jewelry. It was a diamond-plated gold necklace, with three small gold gemstones. After glaring for a while, the man seemed surprised at once turning pale. He looked at Alianora with wide eyes, and sweat drenched his forehead.

"Miss, I don't know why you're doing this to me. You gave me jewelry that was not worth selling, now you give me jewelry that I can not sell, what the fuck?"

Mary, "Master, once again I-"

Alianora cut back on Mary, she was just as confused as the old man.

"Max you?"

"This necklace, for the chain alone, I don't know what kind of diamond it is, but what I can see is this high-grade diamond was probably about 2 to 5 million years ago, he said, as for these three gems, the price was much higher than that diamond."

Alianora clearly gasped at hearing that.

All this time he thought that the jewelry was not very valuable.

Judging from the formannnya that is mostly dull, Alianora does not have high expectations.

Especially judging from Thalia's parents who didn't care about her at all, how could she have such an expensive piece of jewelry that was priceless?

That's totally impossible. So, did the old man lie to her?

No, if he wants to lie he just tell me that the jewelry is not worth selling like his necklace before, not by admitting that he can not buy it.

Alianora observed the necklace, the necklace does look like an ordinary necklace, with thin chains with three gemstones that are not too big and shredded.

"You can sell anything else but that necklace, miss."

cetus the man.

 Alianora took out some more jewelry from her pocket and gave it to the man, while the mysterious necklace, she kept it back.

"Yes, this one is all. How many?"

Finally, after about 15 minutes in the jewelry store, Alianora managed to earn as much as 11,000 soles, by selling three of her jewelry. Now the jewelry in his pocket is only 4 or 5 more including the mysterious necklace, which he has been thinking about since.

It's a strange necklace.

After that, Alianora and Mary were ready to head to the clothing store, but the atmosphere of the market became increasingly crowded, so Mary and Alianora could not pay attention to each other.

And just as they were about to turn into the clothing store, they accidentally passed through the weapon equipment shop, and Alianora saw someone she seemed to know.

When he was still looking at that person, he suddenly bumped into something in front of him.
