The Loving Villainess Is A Ugly Duckling

Chapter 14: Heaven Is A Place On Earth

I use to play The Arcana and when thinking up a setting I thought up this place. My favorite was Julian because he's a babe, not bae, but babe.

~~~~~~~~~~***~~~***~~~~~~~~~~

The chatter of people welcomed me as soon as I stepped out of the carriage.

Looking around, I find myself in an large but busy place, surrounded by flooded shops and fancy restaurants. The stoned ground was smooth with delicate patterns and in the middle, a large beautiful fountain with flowers growing out of small thin vines sprouting from the water. The Plaza was most popular to all rich and poor alike due to various cheap goods.

Needed potion ingredients? Go to the Divinity Shop.

New clothes? Visit Darlings Dressers.

Ran out of food? There's countless restaurants and stores all stocked up.

The thing about the Plaza was that almost every single store here was cheap. A meal would never cost more than four elems and a dress fewer than ten. It was one of the main attractions that brought many travelers around the world to this place. Of course, the other main attractions included, Starview Mountain and Crystals Creek which was two of the most popular tourist attractions in Ravaryn.

"My Lady, it's quite early, are you sure you're alright with this?" I hear Penelope ask from behind me. People glance over to us, looking for no more than a second then turning away uninterested.

"Yes, I'm more than alright, I'm rather pleased." I grin as the people mind their own business.

Fiddling with the book in my grasp, I start to look around me, nodding to myself in satisfaction. At least I won't have to worry about eavesdroppers.

Who knew that people here would act in such a way? Why is it that the people in the Capital gossip on someone at first glance than the people here? Are people here more reasonable and civil than those who live in the Capital? Why is that?

I observe two strangers greet each other as they walk pass, greeting others who they come across as well. In fact, there's a lot of strangers who seem to know a lot of other strangers as they laugh and chat with each other.

"Oh? Goodmorning Miss Rosy and Miss Penelope! How are you both on this fine day?" I turn to see a middle aged woman greet Rose and Penelope from behind me.

Roses eyes light up, "Goodmorning, Lady Dolores, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Penelope bowed her head slightly, "Lady Dolores, we're both well, how are you?" I watch their interaction with wide eyes.

This must be my lucky day!

Lady Dolores was a ginger haired beauty with vibrant green eyes. Her tan skin was clear and her body very curvy, even at such an age, she looked to be in her late 20s but was actually in her early 50s. Not only did she own multiple restaurants across the continent, she has never married anyone and stayed single til this day. She was your usual rags-to-riches main character in success stories that inspired those who believed working hard would help you achieve your goals.

The very woman I came for.

"Ah, this must be Lady Vasilis, forgive this lowly one for not noticing sooner, this lowly one greets you." The beautiful woman bows towards me.
