Chapter 23 Entering The Capital Part 2
Chapter 23 Entering The Capital Part 2
The Kingdom of Fandale's capital city, Areo. Areo sat near a large mountain. Half the mountain itself had been carved out to make the royal palace. With its majestic waterfalls that fell over the palace and rained into a river system that spiraled around the city below, the whole city was always busy and highly advanced for its time. Magic street lamps illuminated the streets at night while also heating and lighting the houses when needed. Magical displays of signs and ads danced through the air in the skies above. Those with permits flew through the air, making use of the clear skies as a means of getting around. The buildings alone, while made of white marble-like stone, rose high into the air, making one crane their neck to see the tops.
This was just the middle of the city near the royal palace where the current royal family lived. The outskirts were wrapped in a tall wall that was many times too big for one to see over unless they were flying around. Just on the other side of that wall was a residential and market section where people lived and worked.
It was in the beginning area that Vance wanted to get a house. Since there was plenty of space and relatively safe, it was a perfect place for Ricky and Maybel to retire. It was just that they had been standing in line for a few hours now and were still waiting to enter the city. "It seems like they are checking every person going into the capital."
"Let them. Currently, you have multiple elixirs masking who you truly are. Face changing, voice, and hair. If they are still able to tell who you are, then I will have to applaud their abilities." Vance knew there was no way of detecting such things. The potions he bought were bought from a sidewalk vendor. The reason being if he bought them elsewhere, they would be easily tracked down if someone made the shop owner talk.
"Are you sure? Vance, if I am caught, and you are with me, you will be killed as well." Alice couldn't help but worry. She did not want to implicate Vance. No one knew she was with him, so it can be said that he was safe for the time being, but if they were to detect things now and he was next to her, he would be beheaded for sure when her brother found out.
"It's fine. I have an idea, although it might make you a bit uncomfortable." Vance whispered into Alice's ear, causing her to blush. But she still nodded her head.
"If this will help us get into the city, then so be it." Alice blushed as she reached out and hooked her arm with Vance's. "From this moment on, until things are settled, I will be your wife."
Vance nodded and scratched his head. He felt slightly embarrassed about this. But he did not show it as he still had his pride as a man. While they had been close before, this was different because before, they were not as close as they were now. The two of them had really relied on each other and grown much closer. So for Alice to hook her arm with his and press her modest breasts against his arm made him feel a little self conscious.
A few hours later, the two finally got to the front of the line. Multiple guards were standing there, eyeing the two of them. Vance looked at the guards and felt something was off. The way they were looking at them was a bit sickening. One of the guards walked over with his sword already drawn and pointed the blade at them. "I need the girl to come with us for some questioning."
"Sorry, but not happening." Vance gently placed his hand on the guard's sword. "After all, if I were to let my wife follow a bunch of guards who were eyeing her body like you three are, I would not be a good husband."
As Vance said this, he slid his hand over the back of the blade gently before pulling Alice behind him. "If you really insist on her coming with you, then I might need to make a scene here at the gates."
Vance did not hesitate to flip his hand and create a fireball. The burning flame hovered over his hand and spun around gently, giving off extreme heat. "As I am a mage and you are just a lowly guard, do you really think you can get away with touching my wife?"
The guard's face turned ugly. He looked at Alice and then at Vance before looking at the fireball. He knew he was not in a good spot. "Humph! Fine, just prove that she is your wife!" He was only ordered to find the princess. Since the princess was of royal blood, then she would never frolic with another man. While he did have ideas about the girl in front of him, he really did not wish to anger a mage.
"Prove she is my wife?" Vance turned and looked at Alice, whose eyes had a glint of worry. She really did not want to get caught, but before she could comprehend what was going on, Vance's face had gotten closer to hers, and she felt something warm pressing against her lips. As she opened her mouth to cry out in shock, something wet and slimy slipped into her mouth. She stood there in a daze before slowly melting into Vance's embrace as he kissed her.
The guard's brow furrowed as he watched the two making out in front of him. His anger began to rise when he saw the girl hug the young man and close her eyes as she enjoyed the kiss. "Alright! Enough!"
Vance broke the kiss and turned with an eyebrow raised as he gently supported Alice in his arms and looked at the guard. "Proof enough?"
"Yes, go! Damn public display of affection!" The guard hated himself for asking the young man to prove shit.
Vance smiled as she gently pulled Alice through the gates with his arm around her waist. The girl was still in a daze from being suddenly kissed. Her first kiss had been so easily taken! Only when they had walked far from the gate and stopped in a side alley did she come back to her senses. "You!.... My…. You….! My…"
"Please finish the first sentence!" Vance smiled helplessly. He really can't believe he did that either but what he found was that he really liked it! The feeling of her soft lips and her small tongue as he swirled his around inside her mouth made him realize he had been missing a lot!
