Chapter 50

**Acacia Point of View**

Huh, nothing can be the joy of strolling around busy streets and learn the culture and geography of a new place.

Simply refreshing!

So what I was being looked at weirdly by hundreds of eyes? It's still... refreshing.

So what whoever looked at me and my son started to whisper with others? It's... refreshing!

I mean, come on, a simple baby stroller can gain such attention from these people! Don't tell me these people don't have similar items to carry their babies outside?

The stroller was made by me with a little help from few guards a few days ago. I had always wanted to come out and stroll through city but carrying Igses in arms for longer time can be exhaustion for both of us.

So I postponed idea of exploring the city until I could make a good stroller for the little man. In the end, I'm happy and he is more than just happy.

Just lying down on the soft cushions, being moved around on the wheels while he can look around, observe and enjoy; who wouldn't be delighted.

If my circumstances are not dire here, in a place like this, I would be happy to be on a slow vehicle to look around.

"Do not mind them, Milady. People here have never seen such miraculous inventions before." Eelk spoke sincerely with a hint of marvel in his voice.

Suddenly, my mood brightened a little when I heard those beautiful words.

"There are no baby strollers in this kingdom? You never knew of them ever at all?" Eelk shook his head making my smile broaden wider.

"Not just in our kingdom but this invention has never been seen in any other kingdom before." Eelk informed killing me with joy.

"Then how do you people bring their babies out?" I asked and immediately saw another woman on the far end of the road with a months old child on her back. The baby was in a light weighted basket and was tied around to the front with a strong cloth.

By the looks of it, the baby was not being suffocated but such a method is not really convenient for longer period.

Eelk noticed the direction of sight and then spoke, "That is more or less how the infants were carried out, Milady."

"Eelk, my brother, I think it's not far away when we will be swimming in wealth." The immeasurable happiness I felt that moment was beyond words.

I was scratching head from a few days for a direction to start my own business and now it seems like I found infinite directions. The modern era I've lived in, there are many things that can be made here and marketed.

Then I'll earn a lot. I mean, who doesn't love money?

One of the prerequisites of a stable career is earning well.

"Uh, somehow I find your smile scary, Milady." If he wouldn't have said this, I almost forgot he tagged along.

I glanced back at Azar who claimed to cut off all the ties with the Jerk and forced himself into the palace saying he is my destined protector.

I tried a few times to throw him out but this man is just so serious and has no nonsense attitude making things different for me. That time when I kicked him out using the loyalty as reason, he quietly left.

Now that he vowed that he is no more loyal to the Jerk as a subordinate would be to his superior, he took his stand.

I had no other choice to just tag along but that doesn't mean I trust him. His declaration of not loyal to Jerk as his subordinate has an underlying meaning that he is in another way loyal to him.

Eelk, on the other hand, directly report to the Jerk, yet he knows what to say and what not to. That is why I approve of Eelk and not Azar.

"Tell me Eelk, how do you travel short distances if people doesn't have teleportation ability?" I asked ignoring Azar's comment.

"If it's too short then they walk; if not they go on a carriage." Great! Bicycles are on the way to take birth here!

I don't have the ability to design heavy and complex vehicles but bicycles are simple. Once it's launched here, I can even try my luck in other kingdoms.

My God, this must be the second time I'm this excited; first time was when I held Igses in my arms for the first time.

We walked slowly, as I observed everything and everyone around to get a hang of how exactly this place work.

Surprisingly, this nothing too different from what I've watched in historical dramas. Only, these people have different culture and a little usage of magic here and there.

That means, not many are proficient in high level magic and mostly have basic abilities while the higher and influential people have strong magical abilities.

Ah, the door to great trade is open! And it's my turn to grab the opportunity.

Earning money sometimes can real heal certain wounds and acts a good distraction too.

"Little man, you have to help mamma become extremely rich. Let's enjoy the weal and woes together and become each other's strength." I exclaimed as I bent down and squeezed his chubby cheeks.

The already smiling face of his amplified cackled after he heard what I said. That must be his way of agreeing to me.

I know, my son is the best!

With that, we continued to walk around and whenever I saw the never-dropping smile on Igses face, a feeling that there cannot be anything so fulfilling that seeing him smile so happily arose inside my heart.

For a person who doesn't know how to be a mother, this feeling, this little boy changed me in many aspects.

I should say, I've matured a lot after Igses was born.

While going around, I bought a few things here and there and mostly observed to look for scope for my business. Apart from Eelk and Azar, there only Circe who came along so handling Igses has become easier.

The days when we entered the city for the first time, I noticed few people who has different style of dressing and realized they must be from other kingdoms. Seeing that there are indeed several foreigners here, I wonder what exactly it that makes this place so different is.

If it is mountains, vegetation and beautiful scenery, aren't they any in other kingdoms and other places?

"It is, sir. th goods I sell are top in quality. After you try you will tell me why you haven't met me before and why you have never bought from my stall." A loud boisterous voice caught my attention.

Only few meters in the front, there's a stall that has pile of weapons stacked up disorderly. Although the stall was small, there were swords, daggers, axes, javelin, spears, knives, and many and surprisingly, they look pretty sharp and tough too.

The seller was very handsome man who must be in his early thirties and has a vibe that can make people around him believe in what he says.

"Weapons from a small stall? Can they even chop vegetable?" The old man who is the customer snicker.

Although he was getting mocked, the trader's smile nor his conduct did not change. Impressive!

"Then why don't you chop a vegetable and see, master? My weapons can pass through a hard skull, what of a fruit or vegetable!" He responded back by returning the mockery but instead of sounding disrespectful towards the customer, he sounded so innocently like was merely answering the customer's question.

The customer's face darkened with anger but what can he do, it's not like the seller was disrespectful towards him so he cannot pick up a fight.

"Who is this man?" I asked pointing to the seller.

"This street is open for free trade, Milady. Anyone can open a stall for any amount of time and doesn't need a authorized token to conduct business in this street. So several small families and those who only want to conduct trade for a special purpose for a shorter period of time come here. I shall get information on him soon." Azar answered and I nodded.

"Mister Aguelli, Mister Aguelli" A stout man ran towards the stall while panting heavily. The seller turned his head towards the stout man with a smile and bowed a little in greeting.

"Mister Aguelli, your weapons are astounding. Sharp, flexible and light, the skill was beyond imagination. I need fifty more swords and twenty more spears." The stout man exclaimed with such wide smile that I wondered how he was able to stretch his mouth so much.

But then again, I couldn't help chuckle when the previous customer who mocked him turn to give the weapon a serious look. It also attracted several people around who heard what the stout man said.

"Eelk, find out who this man is and if nothing is wrong with his background, set up an appointment for a small talk." I said and turned around with smirk.

This man's tricks are impressive!

But then, if he was the one who made those weapons, then his skills should be a great support for my Bicycle and baby prams business.

However, why does it feel like I know this person when I have never seen him in my life?
