Cain intended to leave for the capital right after the feast was done. That was the plan Alice was working with when preparing for the wedding.
“This was a chore,” Said Sebas with a smile, “Now all we need is an heir, should I start preparing his room now?” Sebas asked.
“Stop joking, having a kid while we’re adventuring is just asking for problems,” Cain said as he was carrying multiple tables with [Telekinesis]
“Don’t worry about that part, I here shall make they grew to be responsible.” Sebas gripped his cane tightly, “As my grandfather, and father did to the Furberg family before.” He adds.
“I won’t mind you hitting my children, it’s a cruel world where going out for a walk might end up with you being kidnapped or eaten by a monster.” Cain said staring at the fading sun, “The girls have a different opinion though, they say to raise them carefully and safely.” Cain said with a worried face.
“Isn’t that also a good thing?” Sebas asked. He will be sad if he didn’t get to keep the tradition and use his cane but if it was in the children’s best interest he can do it.
“Children who never seen peace and children who never saw war have different values. There is a tight balance between protecting, over protecting, not raising them well, and abusing them.” Cain said with a serious face.
“Then how much do you rate your father?” Sebas asked.
“I rate him, a [Why you should never have a kid while traveling] out of ten.” Cain knew how much he suffered from the lack of his parents in his past life. But he was also aware that he would have never achieved his strength if he was raised normally.
For that Cain reached a final conclusion, everything needs to have balance, and his children must be cared for but as well shown the truth of the world..
After they finished cleaning, Cain went inside to have a short rest. He then found the girls resting as well, the won’s gusts must have exhausted them.
“How was it?” He asked them.
“They talk a lot. Like they never shut up!” Sofia scread. From the first one to the last, each noble woman tried to strike up a conversation with the girls and they talked a lot.
“Why would we care about painting or whoever bought silk?” Alice sighed. She found each conversation long and boring.
“How did you fare then?” Cain asked Selena.
“I just told them that I don’t care-nya!” Selena said proudly. “And punched whoever said an extra word-nya, people who don’t understand with words can understand with force-nya!”
“She once said, [I don’t care, let go] But when the noblewoman ignored her and kept talking, Selena just punched her in the guts,” Alice said with an exhausted face. People were stupid and they didn’t understand that poking a jaguar in the tail is a bad idea.
“And you?” Cain looked at Gracie.
“I just ignored them and went on with what I was doing, like I always do with Sebas,” Gracie replied as she tried to replicate Selena’s proud face.
‘I did hear sothing more important but let’s ignore that for now.’
“And you? I hope it wasn’t such a hard day.” If his wives who had a lot of stamina were exhausted, Marina was bound to be half dead.
“To be honest, I did have a lot of fun talking to them. It’s a great way to know what is happening in the city.” Marina smiled.
“Did you learn anything interesting?” Cain asked without a reason, he expected to hear sothing along the lines of [a lot of things]
“Darrigo a rchant that lives to the west of the city is sick and old, he might die soon. His five sons aren’t known for loving each other so they might fight over his property and end up selling it and splitting the profit. We might need to save so money so we can buy it cheap from them in the next year or two.
A lot of nobles are slowly losing interest in silk and are looking into demon spiders’ silk. We might need to stock up on that as well.
…”
Marina then went to list a ton of things that she heard, most of them are ways to make money or get leverage over so nobles.
Cain felt what the girls ant when they said nobles talk a lot, but he could appreciate what Marina found, they were opportunities.
That wasn’t a thing he expected from a woman whose stats looked like this.
