The King'S Bride < & Bride >

4. Befriended

The sun began to be seen in the eastern horizon of the little girl had managed to get out of the forest but she did not know where she was now

"I felt the same way, how could I be here?!"

Alin looks confused with the bustling city that has never been seen 'although not like other modern cities but this city is quite good. but it looks a little strange because many white natives mingle with Asians here' Alin murmured in his heart

Because there is no drinking and eating his body feels very weak, fortunately in front of him there is a shop that is a store because there is no bar, no bar, when he entered the store, a servant greeted him with friendly black hair thick with white skin

"Is there anything we can do for you, miss?!"

The situation is quite crowded like a cafe that is often visited in Boston

"One table and one chair for me"

"Well lady let's go with me to the table there!"

Alin sat down and stretched his body "Many passersby beside him looked at him strangely" until the maid returned

"What do you want to order, miss?"

Alin saw that the menu he brought was nothing to suit his taste he most disliked the bread "Cold chocolate milk with butter toast"

"All right, miss wait a minute"

"H wait, is there an outlet?! My phone is off and needs to be on a charger!"

The waiter looked at Alin in wonder from top to bottom then he shook his head and smiled again

"there's no miss tp not here, there's in my room!"

"Can I borrow a minute?"

"And oh yes my name is Alin Creatta I just came here for the first time"

The waiter smiled "My name is Vrela Ying used to be called Vrela"

Alin raised his hand to shake "You are Chinese? your hair is so pretty, you don't need to be formal because I think we're the same age" at first the waiter hesitated to welcome alin's hand but when he was about to pull his hand back then had already withdrawn his hand even Alin hugged and patted his shoulder "This is my style when shaking hands!" muttered Alin while chuckling

The waiter chuckled with Alin, he was very happy at first he thought alin was a crazy person but after seeing his warm and friendly attitude he could not help but enthusiastically welcome his "He... He's... He's... My family and I are of Chinese descent. Well, lady, I'll drop you off now"

She has long had no close friends with her among all the servants she's the only one the lady in this store has gotten used to the arrival of crazy drunk people "Vre what's the matter why you quit?" alin was confused

Vrela shook his head again "It's okay"

He pulled out Alin's hand and brought his room

"Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you this!"

"What's wrong, miss?"

"Call me Alin"

"Alright ling" because he had never spoken to an outsider of the island he was not very eloquent in following his words

"A L I N, Alin is not ling. I don't have any Chinese blood so don't call me that"

"Aling" he said slowly

Alin glared annoyed 'Aling' sounds worse than 'Ling'

"i think it's better Ling and oh yeah I want to ask why the guy outside was looking at me weirdly?!"

Vrela scratched the nape of his neck that didn't itch "It's all because you look like you're not the guy here"

"Hey... Vrela need you to know I was born here but yeah for a reason I moved to London!"

"So you're from off the island? Just think your style of speech is a little complicated and makes me dizzy" Vrela trus-trusan rambled and asked about the state of London, he said, that's because he just knew that alin from a neighboring country even though alin wanted to tell him from boston, America but his intention was he brackets afraid that the young girl would babble even more

"So besides my speaking style what else makes me look weird?!"

"That's because of your dress style, look at your white coat just dirty! What did you play in the farm until this dirty?!"

Alin immediately noticed his suit was probably dirty as he tried to take the Evening Primrose from the waterfall

"Not from cattle but from the forest" muttered alin while taking off his coat and putting it in a flower basket

"The forest? Why are you in the woods?!" ask Vrela full of probes

"I'm just picking flowers and why I got lost in this town!"

"What village are you from?"

"I'm from Tzeru village"

"Oh that beachside village of many outsiders?!"

Alin hasn't been here in a week, he doesn't know much, so he just wants to

"Please don't know the habits of people here?!"

Yep... It's only been two days how can you know "What habits?"

"Hey Miss London, nobody here is dressed like you. Don't you watch the people around you? They all wear traditional clothes and no one wears pants, only certain people wear pants"

Alin frowned not understanding "Traditional Clothes? What kind of clothes is that? Please explain in more detail!"

The young girl thought to the method she would use to explain to Alin "Now you are clean yourself first - I will explain"

"But I don't have clothes"

"Ntar I'm ready!"

10 Minutes later

"What clothes is this?! Quickly return my clothes and pants?!" alin glared at Vrela

"I have a lot of free time so just relax" said Vrela while forcing Alin to sit at his dresser

"this is called Hangfu traditional clothes. most people here wear clothes like this otherwise they will wear Victorian Era clothes the more delicate and complicated the material shows their power and the thicker the makeup he wears it means he is getting more and more majestic and beautiful looking" Vrela explained everything slowly

"Huh? that fancy Victorian-era suit?"

"yes Since me and my family are only merchants, this is all we have unlike our nobility we have no right to wear thick makeup. Now you Try Smiling"

Alin smiled and looked in the mirror

"I think your face was covered with dirt so it looked like a beggar, now no one will look at you strangely because you are like someone here!" vrela ketus

"Can you explain to me first Vrela, I want to know what happened on this island after I stayed"

"how long have you been gone?"

"10 years and never come back here"

"I tell you briefly yes, because you were born here you must know that this island has a lot of Natural Resources but not with human resources

I think about 8 years ago there was a huge slavery.Many Asians were brought here to work. we Asians are so poor that the only thing we can make is what our ancestors taught us, so we wear Traditional clothes because our ancestors didn't teach us to make clothes modern. back to the point after we've been here for a few months. the leader changed to king and who I know the current king is of mixed blood. while the queen is Asian so all the rules of slavery no longer apply and we live side by side with the natives here, and for why here is lagging far behind the outer island it's all because this island is branded as an untouchable island. I heard stories from outside traders that out there there are things called cars, motorcycles, and so on, electric trains but all that is impossible to bring here because to get here they need to face the bad weather in the sea around us which is famous for its storm and ferocious waves only at certain times of the weather the sea is safe to pass"

"Yes... Yep... Yes..., Miss now I'm hungry where's my milk and bread?!" Alin sighed Vrela said he would condense the story but it was very clear it was a very long story.

"Green color is perfect for you, my shirt is narrow in my body but it fits in your body, what a god next to you! "

Alin snorted annoyedly he was already very hungry but Vrela still rambled "Let's go downstairs, I'll take my bed!"said the little girl while pulling the arm of the vrela

"Your clothes and pants I put in your basket, OK!"

Alin nodded when he got under them choosing to sit in a corner a little away from the other guests "Where is the Rot? Aren't you? although this restaurant looks small but not a few nobles who come here"

Alin gulped down the cold milk "Lumayan" he said as he continued chewing

At another table a woman and her son were talking to an old woman

"So how, do you want to not pay me 20,000 silver for one treatment?!" said the old lady haughtily

"Yes we can anyways you have rushed here from the kingdom!" the young woman took her tea

His son chimed in "Our family can even afford to buy 10 cornfields for you"

"You know my granddaughter studied medicine in London and she said there the medical costs could be up to 3 million dollars in a single treatment" the old woman arrogantly showed off her granddaughter

"Your granddaughter is so great, unfortunately, she didn't come back.I can pay more than you're asking!"

"If you want me to be able to get him to check on your family's condition, my house people say he's home" a malicious grin appeared on the old woman's face

"Oh yeah I'm very honored if he's going to treat my family"

"Unfortunately Miss's mistress is very expensive she only accepts dollars, so if you want to meet her I have to persuade her with a lot of money"

"Go to the point how much do you want?!" asked the young madam with her gloomy face

"i want 5000 gold at the beginning because western medicine is very different.for the rest you can discuss with my grandson"

The young mistress' son angrily looked at the old woman "You're a thief !"

Whether because of facing or what alin's eyes continue to be on the table in front of him makes him see the incident clearly

"What did you see Ling?" ask Vrela

Raising a tray

"It's like I know the old woman!" muttered Alin

"Let's help this tray make that table, right?!" a prank idea popped up in alin's brain

"Let's see if he can help you get back to your village"

Alin carried a tray behind Vrela "These ladies please enjoy the dish" Vrela said gently

Alin put the tray in front of the old woman and then started to pay attention to her face, the assumption was not wrong. while standing next to her alin whispered "Old lady, have you forgotten your granddaughter waiting?!"

The old woman's eyes glared at once making the mother and child before her

Choking on food "What's up?" asked the woman, the old woman shook her head "No I just choked and needed to go to the restroom. I'm Excuse me!"

The old woman went to the back counter where alin and Vrela returned the tray "Young Miss" the woman called alin.

Alin who was tasting a pastry made by his mother Vrela immediately turned around and stood in front of the old woman who was watching him from top to bottom

A lazy and dismissive voice came out from the little girl's mouth "Hay, my dear Oma don't you recognize your granddaughter?" he said, crossing both hands in front of his chest

"You Naughty Boy, what are you doing here? Your mother said you were punished but you're eating here!" the old woman hit the little girl softly in front of her, her voice sounded angry but everyone knew there was unbearable happiness on her face

Alin grinned and hugged the old woman "You call me, and I'm here Oma!"

alin said, and he continued

"You carried your grandson's name and managed to get 5000 Oma's gold, while your own grandson here is wearing his friend's old clothes"

The old woman smirked "You damn brat I'll give you 20,000 Silver"

Alin pouted "Oma does not love me. I will return to London and cry on the lap of mother and foster father, I will complain 3 million dollars can not be compared with 20,000 silver"

Seeing Alin's spoiled acting made Vrela clap her hands in her heart.

"okay we give 2 you 2000 gold and me too"

Alin still grunted angrily "If you don't add another 100,000 pieces of silver I won't treat his family"

The old woman's face became gloomy for a moment "Alright 2000 gold plus 100,000 silver"

He gave Alin the money he asked for through a gold and silver cheque "This is spent on clothes!"

He said before returning to the table where he had been

Alin counted the money and gave some to the vrela "Vre, this is 100,000 silver for you!"

Vrela gaping staring at the money in his hand "100,000? it's a lot of Ling. 100,000 silver equals 1000 gold, and 1000 gold worth 2000 Sterling Pounds"

Alin looked at him unwell "Sorry I only have that, then the rest I share. Now let's go shopping!"

Vrela's face darkened "You're Crazy ling?! 100,000 pieces of silver were already a lot, the clothes I gave you were not up to 500 pieces of silver"

"Have taken it. I want you to help me ok!"alin

"Let's take you around town!" vrela was excited

30 Minutes later

"Vre fast game, There's delicious food!" the girl ran to the food stand in front of her

"Oh my goodness Ling'er, it's only been half an hour that I walked with you but it's tired of it being like a year of walking"

Alin glanced at Vrela who was panting after him "Children your age Vre, you should have been stronger walking!"he said as he chuckled

"Ling-ling from earlier you ran instead of walking" murmured Vrela while regulating his breathing

"Ling, what exactly are you looking for? There was a clothing store, but you didn't look at it"

Alin chuckled and smiled wryly

"Actually I'm looking for the best woodworking expert who makes furniture"

"Why the Woodworker?" Vrela looked at alin in confusion

Alin sighed "I want to make some cabinets and beds" The little girl realized that she could not use her sister's belongings and she also wanted to order a table for the drugs she brought

"Fufu, there's a beautiful woman!"

A group of teenage boys started rolling around the two girls

"Hey, what's your name, woman?"

At first, Alin did not want to respond and just continued walking but he stopped because Vrela was detained by fear

Alin whispered in his ear "What's wrong?"

Vrela fearfully pointed around them "Ling they're all following us!"

Alin frowned

"Have they been believing this often?No other work?!"

Vrela ventured to her "I've dealt with them a lot I'm used to being a mockery, but this time I don't want to be quiet"

Alin just silently watched Vrela approach the teenagers

"What do you need, sir? Why are you all following us?!" said Vrela with a cold face

"Well, this woman is brave!"

"C'mon Babe, come with me we'll play together"

Vrela looked at the man with emotion "Dream I won't come with you, Now Go!" strangler

After hearing that the teenage boy did not go immediately but he glanced at the little girl behind Vrela who was leaning under the tree

"If you don't want to then just be your friend!" said one of the teenage boys

Pass through Vrela

Vrela quickly stood in front of Alin and protected him like a shield

"I said go now! If you don't want to then I'll hit you"

The man smirked "What? If I don't want to go, what do you want?"

One of his friends helped the man with a mocking tone

"Hey lady the day after yesterday you were made a mockery of us and now you've become very brave!"

The boys were all wearing different types of clothes some were wearing a kind of Hangfu and some were wearing modern suits they were all educated but it was a pity that they had no morals

Angrily Vrela pointed her fingers at them "I will teach you all a lesson! I'll avenge you!"

The man around the two girls laughed "You want to reply Miss?! You can't even beat them!"

The man leading the gang of teenagers smirked

"You can't beat us educated, your little body is only useful in bed"

Alin was stunned for a moment he never thought those educated could be as narrow-minded as that. Instead of being angry he felt comforted 'They were all fools' he murmured inwardly

"You want to reply to us in what way, miss?!" the men laughed

The darkened Vrela of emotions did not think twice as he said "I will cut off your genitals with your own sword"

Alin could not help but laugh when he saw the expression of the teenage boys "Pfft... H. ha. ha.. ha..."

The men grinned not to see Vrela's Courage and chuckled behind him "You can't even fight let alone raise Miss's sword" said one of the men

Among all the men there was one teenager just like Alin. the man did not come to talk he just watched everything like a show

The Teenage Leader grinned "I'll give you a once in a lifetime chance to avenge us Miss, I'll lend you one of the swords and you can choose one of us to be your Opponent"

The other man cheered "Let's Bet?!"

"If I win, you all have to promise not to bother all the women again!" verily said Vrela, If there is no alin with him, he will surely go away in fear and let them mock him

"Hm.. Ok! But if you lose you'll have to treat us all to food and drink"

The man threw the sword in front of Vrela "Take it and fight one of us" he said. Vrela's hands were sweating and trembling violently while holding the sword hilt before him
