Chapter 264 Aquarina Doesn't Care About Dresses
-----
The town was just around half a kilometer away from where we were, so it took us over 30 minutes by carriage, we could have reached that place way faster but my mother has a big belly now and she cannot really walk fast and flying would bring too much unwanted attention. We had six-limbed giant lizards as our carriage animals and that was weird already, usually people just use big goats or horses, not giant lizards often seen as predatory animals, especially as strong as the ones we had here.
"We are there!" Said Aquarina, pointing at the town far away, as she seemed excited, jumping around the interior of the carriage.
"C-Calm down Aquarina, remember to stay at my side." Said Shade.
"But papa, it is pretty cool!" Said Aquarina. "I can't wait to get there…"
Aquarina seemed very excited about going into the town, and to be honest, I was also quite excited. The day was also quite perfect. There was a bright sun shining atop the sky, the sky was as clear as water without any cloud, and the beautiful grasslands surrounded the town, as it had a large forest nearby as well, where the people of the town probably gathered resources and hunted animals or monsters to sustain themselves better.
Certain areas of the town looked to be paved from afar, and there were certainly bigger houses in the center of the town, while smaller wooden houses surrounded the rest. I could see that probably some sort of nobles had taken refuge in here, or probably they were the Lords of this land.
"This small town is called Bright Dawn, and it is a large town with around five to six thousand inhabitants." Said my father. "From what I know, it was made by immigrants of the wars in the past, a knight named Bright Dawn or something made it and people gathered around it for his protection against the monsters. The Bright Dawn family could be considered something like the lords of this town, and there are also other noble families in here too… Because the lords all descend from knights, they value strength and are often trained rigorously to protect the town. They're isolated from the outside and often called a countryside town, but still got some trading routes they use to bring items from the Empire or some nearby Kingdoms."
My father knew a lot, it felt as if I was reading an encyclopedia, I looked at my father with surprise clear on my eyes, as he seemed to feel a bit offended.
"W-What? I can't know anything or something? I am also quite a resourceful man, you know, Sylphy?" He said pridefully.
"I get it…" I said. "But I am still impressed, so they value swordsmanship as knights? I wonder if they sell swords."
"Swords? I suppose, but you won't find anything better than your own sword, Sylphy." Said my father.
"Hm, well, we can go around the shops and other things to see if we can buy anything of interest, some new dresses would be appreciated for Sylphy and Aquarina." Said my mother.
"I agree, I want my daughter to look like a little noble girl." Said Nepheline. She had changed her clothes too and wasn't wearing tribal ones. She wore some tight black leather pants, brown boots, and white blouse over her body, alongside a silver-colored chest plate, she was very masculine in her style of clothing but it fit her very well.
"I-I don't really like big dresses… I want to dress like mama." Said Aquarina.
"Oh, with pants? But a dress fit you so much better, Aquarina!" Said Nepheline. "You're a pretty and feminine girl so you better wear pretty dresses, it is an order!"
"Eeeeh? Sigh… Okay…" Sighed Aquarina.
"You don't really have to force her like this." Said Shade.
"Okay… Maybe she can try out pants and blouses in the future," Said Nepheline. "But I love to see her like a little princess!"
Nepheline seemed obsessed with Aquarina resembling a cute and innocent princess, I was all with her, I really love to see Aquarina with these types of clothes, she really looks lovely.
"Ugh, this shirt is way too tight." Sighed Zack. He was also not wearing his typical tribal clothes that included a piece of fur wrapped around his hip, barefoot, and with just some sort of coat made of leather over his chest. He was actually wearing beautiful-looking brown pants, brown boots that seemed finely crafted, a white shirt, and a black coat. He looked so refined and nice, he looked like an actual boy now and not a wild kid. Even his hair was properly washed and well stylized by Ninhursag.
"I also dislike clothes, Zack, but we have to get used to them now that we are visiting towns and we'll soon go to the elven country, they won't accept people like us if we don't walk presentably." Said Ninhursag. Shew as even worse than Zack, often walking almost completely nude with just a loincloth covering her private parts and some sort of bra made out of leather to cover her nipples, with the rest of her charcoal-skinned body completely exposed… Which always made her such an eye candy… But now, she was wearing similar stylized clothes than Nepheline, as the two had very similar bodies, tall and muscular women. I guess both of them dislike dresses despite going around half-naked most of the time.
Tribal women aesthetics are hard to understand… but Ninhursag looked gorgeous in any type of clothes anyways, her pants were black leather and tight, and she was wearing a brown blouse that exposed a bit of the upper part of her chest, showing sexily. She looked quite uncomfortable, feeling like the shirt was pressing too much into her big breasts, I guess she's accustomed of going around with her naked breasts, but she was forced to wear a bra now aside from the tight shirt.
"Ugh…" Sighed Zack.
"W-Well, at least we are there! Look, the entrance and… A massive line." I sighed.
