|Catharina von Xenotra - Heiress of Baron Xenotra|
"What do we miss?"
I look around at the celebration happening in the city. Yesterday was a busy day for the three of us as the three of us joined a hunting group that explored the Southern Territory and hunted any monster we saw.
The hunt is doing great. The three of us alone manage to kill at least a hundred alone. With the equipnt Gwyn gave to us, we easily killed the monster, and when the monster hit us, it was not as damaging.
Anyway, when we are back from the hunt, there is no indication that any party will be going on in this city, but the next day people are already preparing so kind of preparation for a festival or sothing.
People have big smiles and are already putting purple clothes around the places. Is this so kind of tradition or sothing? Is today so kind of holiday for the Southern People?
"Should we ask soone about this?"
Veronica says as she looks around in wonder.
"Also, why is it purple?"
Jonathan frowns at the color displayed around the city. He did not like purple for so unknown reason.
I shake my head and walk to an older man putting up purple clothes above his food stall.
"Excuse . Can I ask you a question?"
The old man looks at and nods.
"Sure, what is it, lass?"
"Can you tell the reason why people like this? Is there so kind of festival?"
"Ah, you are from the north, so you did not know the aning of purple, huh?"
"Yeah. The three of us did not know the reason why there were so many purple clothes hanging on people’s houses."
"People symbolize long and happy marriages."
"Oh? Is soone getting married? Can I ask who is getting married?"
"No. Not yet, at least. As for who it is, it is young master Gwyndolin! Lord Alexander already announced the engagent this morning."
I can only look at him in shock. Gwyn is getting married? No, getting engaged? Is it the princess of the Luzia Kingdom? Or is he marrying the heiress of the Vortigern family? Jonathan already told about the Vortigern family begging the king to help them take care of the monster wreaking havoc in their territory.
"I see. Can I ask who is the lucky woman?"
"Young lady Silvanna Baxter! Young master Gwyndolin engaged with her."
Oh! I know her. She is a supporting character that many people want to woo in the ga. She is this edgy woman who always broods when the player manages to locate her. She is beautiful with a depressing background.
She is not an important character because the quest she gives does not give much reward, and the only reason why people are willing to do her storyline is because of her look and the hope of getting her as their harem mber.
Sadly, no matter what players try, Silvanna Baxter cannot be captured by anyone. That makes so people riot, but they can do nothing because even the Dev says that Silvanna is not a capturable NPC.
"I see. I’m happy for him."
"Of course! The people of Cunningham County are happy for him. Anyway, excuse . I need to finish the decoration."
"Thank you for answering my question."
I nod and walk away from the older man who is putting the purple decoration on his stall. I look at Veronica and Jonathan and say.
"Should we go back to the palace and congratulate them?"
Jonathan looks at for a few seconds before saying.
"Before we do that, I think we should buy sothing. We cannot congratulate them without a gift."
"Right. What kind of gift do you think we should give to him?"
We start thinking about what kind of gift we can give the newly engaged couple. After a few seconds of thinking, we are stuck. Gwyn is already giving us a lot of things. Our current equipnt alone is already worth a lot of money. How much money? Jonathan predicts that he can buy land and title with these pieces of equipnt if he is a commoner and decide to sell it to a higher noble like his house.
Veronica also predicts that it will get a higher price if he decides to sell them in the other continent, especially in the Northern Continent, as that place is in an all-out-war between the kingdoms and willing to pay a high price for good magical equipnt like the one Gwyn gave to us.
"Shit. I don’t know anything we can buy for him."
Jonathan scratches his head as he is confused about what kind of thing he needs to buy for Gwyn and Silvanna. Veronica thinks for another second before she looks at and says.
"What about sothing we made? Cat, we need one of your talents."
I look at her in confusion before I connect the dots.
"Oh! I see."
"What? What do you see?"
I look at Jonathan and say.
"We can make one instead of buying sothing. Do you know how my talent is perfect for glass making?"
"Oh? Ohhh! I see. Glass sculpture."
I nod and say.
"Yup. We can give a beautiful glass sculpture I create using my talent and make it even more beautiful after it gets enchanted using Veronica’s talent."
Veronica’s talent is called [Reinforcent] and [Beautification]. It lets her make the items she touches tougher and more beautiful. That is what makes her a successful rchant. Her second talent was not only making the item she touched beautiful but also repairing them and making sure it is beautiful.
Sadly, it did not work on living beings. However, it works on sothing that is already dead. It did not expand in the ga world, but in this reality, she can use any soon-to-be expired goods and restore them to a hundred percent.
With this, she can always sell fresh goods. Sadly, she can only use this twice for the sa items. As for her first talent, that is what makes her rather useful in the ga. If her second talent is a passive skill she has in the gas that make all the trading goods she has 50% more expensive, the first talent makes her a good enough support.
Her first talent works for both living and nonliving beings.
In war battle, [Reinforcent] lets her increase one stat of the unit she is under for three turns. She can increase the unit’s damage output, defense, or stamina.
In the RPG mode, Veronica’s talent can boost an ally’s stats for a certain amount of ti. Using her talent, she can increase an ally’s overall stats by twenty percent.
It was not the best boost, but it was useful at the beginning of the ga; it will lose effectiveness when the player reaches the late ga. However, many players still take Veronica because of how useful her spy network is.
"That is a great idea. However, what kind of sculpture will you make?"
Jonathan looks at . I think for a few seconds and say.
"I don’t know. What kind of animal symbolizes a happy marriage?"
The three of us sit on the nearby bench while thinking about what kind of sculpture I should make. Veronica is the first to say sothing after a minute of thinking.
"What about Southern Silver Goose? They are an animal that mate for life. If their other half dies, they will not mate with other geese. They symbolize loyalty and a strong bond between couples. A goose also can be a beautiful animal if we make it into a glass sculpture."
She is right about that. In my previous life, a goose was a little shit. They are the most aggressive animal I have ever encountered, but I admit they are beautiful—especially the goose with pure white feathers.
"Or you can pick a dragon."
Jonathan looks at and says.
"They are a creature of power and also protective creatures. They protect their mate and treasure with their life and ensure anyone hurting or stealing their treasure will be destroyed. It can symbolize power, loyalty, and protectiveness."
That is another excellent suggestion.
"What about butterflies? Especially the Purple Dot Butterfly."
I decided to throw my own idea into the pot.
"Just like the goose, Purple Dot Butterflies mate for life and will not mate with another butterfly when their other half dies, and unlike the other butterflies, this species of butterfly protect their egg by luring the predator away using their body from their eggs."
The three of us look at each other for a few seconds before Veronica says.
"Why not three of them? One for each of us."
"That is not a bad idea."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I look at the three sculptures in front of and look at the three people giving it to . These are beautiful glass sculptures.
"And this is?"
Catharina looks at and smiles.
"These glass sculptures are our gift to you and a prayer for a long-lasting relationship."
I look at the three of them and smile.
"Thank you. I will make sure to treasure them."
