I Think, Therefore I am

GROUNDING

It wasn't just like Ophelia had seen before, the capital was a beautiful place. People who were walking around the sidewalk were talking with each other. Nobles were shopping in some first-class boutique, carriages were passed by them as they gallop in the street. Ophelia could only follow Zack since he was the one showing her around. Zack was looking around him and noticed that people were staring at them—no staring at Ophelia, he looked in Ophelia's direction and see that her hoodie was down. He quickly leans forward and puts her hoodie up her head, to cover her face and hair. Ophelia was so amazed at her surrounding she didn't notice that people were looking at her until Zack pull her hoodie up. She gave Zack a sheepish look for her inconvenience, but only for Zack to shake his head in disbelief.

"Ophelia don't forget to pull up your cloak again what if someone recognizes you" he scolded her for her mistake.

"Sorry it won't happen again, I am just amazed at how beautiful this place" Ophelia apologize to him, she never gets to properly look at her surrounding when she arrived from the rehabilitation. Her sentence make Zack grim

"I don't mind, and you are right this place is beautiful but the people who shopped her are not" Zack looked in front of him as he scans the familiar street.

"Ohhh that is understandable, but May I ask where are we going? You never got to tell me" she asked curiously, they already passed by almost all the store, where could they be going?

"Ohhh we are going to collect something that I have been long waiting for" Zack gave Ophelia a grin with excitement glee in his eyes. Before Ophelia could ask more questions Zack stopped his horse in front of a unique store. Zack jumped out of his horse and grab Ophelia's horse lead, leading the horse to a corner and tied both of them leads to a hook. As he finished knotting the rope he gave Ophelia a hand. Ophelia grabs his hand and helps her jump off the horse. They went inside of the shop and Ophelia was greeted by the smell of the metallic scent that made her inner mind purr in delight. Wait for what? She is an omega why would her inner mind purr in the smell of weapons. She shrugged the thought away and looked at the weaponry. She saw a metal bow that has a bunch of arrows packed in a bag, a silver-longsword on a wall, a collection of daggers on a shelf, and also a bunch of armor inside of a mannequin. As Ophelia looked around, Zack just stared at her in amusement. She is one weird omega.

"Hello, dear customer, what service could I—Ohhh Zack you're here? How are you?" the store-seller greeted Zack. He was wearing a simple white blouse with a pair of black pants and a brown dirtied apron.

"Hello Armed, I am doing well that you for asking. I am just here to pick my sword" those words caught Ophelia's interest

"Wait, you are buying a sword Zack? Are you joining the Royal Knights or something like that?" Ophelia did not know that Zack wanted to be a knight

"Yes, wait did I not tell you about that?" Zack asked confused

"No you did not" she exclaimed making Zack laugh sheepishly for his mistake, both began to bicker. And store-seller just stared at both of them, and he decides to clear his voice to catch their attention. And they both did.

"Hello, I believe we haven't met, I am Armed the owner of this place" he gave Ophelia a simple bow.

"Hello, I am Ophelia Vu—Blainton" Ophelia did a curtsy doing that armed didn't notice the stutter. Armed paid no mind to the stutter and proceed to answer Ophelia.

"I didn't know you have a sister Zack," Armed asked unconvinced of Ophelia's introduction. Making both teens gulp in nervousness. Zack was about to answer the store-seller question but was cut off by a familiar deep voice.
