Claimed by the deranged Archduke of the North

System Mall

Draping a new set of clothes, which appeared a size bigger on his thin body, Xion came out of the bathroom. His gaze scanned the huge room in front of him. There was a bed which looked quite comfortable to sleep on.

There was a set of chairs neatly placed around the wooden table in one corner. It must be to entertain the guests or to enjoy the tea.

The cupboard was filled with clothes. However, Xion would still repeat the few sets of clothes he had picked from the pile of extremely vibrant clothes.

Those vibrant clothes might be the trend in this world, or someone was pulling a prank on him.

Xion's modern sense of fashion could not digest the hideous collection of such eye catching colours stitched together in just one piece of cloth.

Dragging his tired legs to the bed where he had placed the food basket, he kept humming a cartoon-themed song.

While plopping on the bed a sigh of comfort escaped from his lips. Even if the bed was nothing compared to his supper soft mattress in the modern world, at the moment, it brought him a sense of delight.

The basket was filled with freshly baked bread, some pieces of meat wrapped in cabbage leaves, and a bottle of juice of some fruit he had no idea about.

Xion enjoyed a hearty meal. Patting his slightly protruding stomach he plopped on the bed.His gaze was trailed on the carvings on the ceiling. He could not understand any of the pictures depicted in the painting.

Xion closed his eyes and summoned the Mall. This Mall was the gift little Xion mentioned before disappearing.

A light blue screen illuminated his vision. This was the Mall where he could shop for anything he could think of.

From medicines to food, everything was at his fingertips. However, Xion needed to accumulate mall points to shop from the system mall.

The only way to increase the mall points was to do good deeds. Xion rescued a small animal from drowning and that gave him 1 point.

Within a month, he had managed to gather fifty-six mall points. His goal was to treat his legs first. For the medicine, he would need seventy such points.

Xion was a doctor in his previous life. Even if he had just graduated from college, Xion was one of the best students. He could tell at a glance that his legs were too weak due to both malnutrition and Atrophis Morbus.

A disease that would make the legs weak and slowly the lower part of the body would become paralysed. There was no cure for that in this world.

However, that was not the case for him. All he had to do was save a few more animals and then eat the pill before running away from this hell.

Xion had noticed how the points would differ from animal to animal or even to human. If he helped a human he would have easily gained twenty points at once, but there were only Eli and Uncle Benzmin who were worth helping and both never let him do anything.

While he was making his plan to run away, there were various noises spreading all around the corners of the mansion. The guests were arriving in full swing.

Just to accommodate all the nobles, the Marquis had renovated the left wing of the mansion where the guests would be staying.

To make it easier to take care of the guests, even Soren and the twins would be staying in the left wing, leaving the southern wing almost empty.This was also why Xion had decided to return to his room. He would have the whole area to himself.
