Kumo & Itia POV:

"Well, that was quite an interesting human. Don't you think so too, Itia?" - With Kumo, who's finding humor in the series of events just unfolded on the carriage earlier.

"Well... He certainly is an anomaly among humans..."

She looked at the card which Tàkar gave to her a few moments ago and gave it to Kumo. Who's putting it in his pocket.

As there wondering about that man earlier. They'd forgotten that their inside the Aristocratic' Distirct of the city of El' Niño.

There are 2 purposes this district has.

One is where nobles hear and nobles see. These place is obviously where the nobles' reside, This is where the 2nd and more sons and occasionally daughters that didn't get their inheritance from their parents' resides. Until they can marry into some other nobles' family, Get their profession, Or join the military, They live here.

The second is this is where the nobles meet.

The Nobles are called here to discuss and report them to the Duke, who lives and administers the whole territory. They report their troubles and solve disputes in their meetings. With the Duke who gets the final say.

Apart from meetings, there's also their parties, where they exchange flattery with an abundance of food and drinks for everyone to enjoy. This is where they make alliances and connections to one another.

And just like all of human history, they form groups, factions and circles corresponding to the current political climate.

With the saying "Politics plus time equals history." Also applying in this world.

Each circle has a different amount of influences and reasons for existing, the lesser nobles form circles for protection, and the higher echelons form circles for political power.

And that's what these two (soon to be) young nobles, Kumo and Itia are about to face. Even though they could easily kill everything in their sight, the machine that is the Aristocracy will be their biggest hurdle in this world yet.

============================

After a few seconds of waiting around and doing absolutely nothing, the two looked at each other for their next move.

"Should we call her Majesty for this information Young Mistress Itia?" - Asked Kumo, who's looking at Itia.

"Alright then Kumo, we'll report this to her Majesty as soon as possible and give us the necessary instructions for her next move."

"Thank you Milady, your words are very kind." - He answered, with a hint of sarcasm.

[Oh dear Kumo, i know you find this act very entertaining, since we both know we are of the same rank given to us by her majesty.]

"How about we pick... There, that café-like shop?"

He pointed to a nice little coffee shop just from the corner of the road.

"There."

"That seems perfect Kumo. As expected, you're eyes is always on point." - She said, as a compliment would improve the act.

"Oh Milady, what kind of servent am I to not find something so conspicuous." - He said, while showing a long smile (grin) to Itia.

"Let's go, Kumo."

And off they go.

============================

Even though it's just the corner of the street, they'd have been already getting a lot of attention from the nobles near them.
