Undying Phantasia - 15 An arduous day
It was a long process that took at least 20 minutes..which passed like an eternity for Apolion as he waited in the room impatiently.
”Sorry for making you wait so long” Suddenly a voice from the door could be heard at last, which was lord Achils walking in vigilantly until he realized Apolion does not know his language so he decided to be quiet for now.
Apolion saw something that caught his eye.
It was a female next to Lord Achils.She had red hair and blue eyes.Her clothes looked that of a typical noble house’s lady with long dress.She had flowers of a white colour extending towards her skirt like spirals.Her dress was also red and green shades with a open back.Her skin pale yet shiny.Her hair as long as her waist with a headband attached to a blue flower similar to a rose.
Her body had curves highly highlighted and big breasts of at least cup D.
Apolion looked at her with curiosity and fascination…
‘This world definitely has beauties’…Thought Apolion as he also noticed scent emanating from her.’Also in terms of scent impressive’…Followed Apolion with another compliment in his head as he watched her every graceful move and he secretly glanced at the breasts without her knowledge with a rapid eye movement to not get caught..He was a master at this after practice in the forest against the robot..
..She seemed a bit older than Apolion but definitely young.
”So, you are the foreigner who is a bit lost over here right?” asked a angelic voice from her mouth that Apolion was dumbfounded for a bit and regain composture as he was resistant to beautiful women and girls.
Apolion looked at her with a clueless face.I guess I have to say something.Determined Apolion as he realized he won’t go nowhere if he doesn’t highlight he is illiterate and ignorant of their language even thou they probably know.
”I not speak language” Highlighted Apolion calmly as he nervously waited for an asnwer even thou it was broken Engorian.
”Well he doesn’t seem to be lying you can rest assured I will deal with him.By the way prepare a inn where he can stay and we will judge his situation.” said the girl before looking at Lord Achils with a confident tone before explaining to Lord Achils to not be worried and the sorts.
”Well, its relief that he is not a troublesome fellow after all.But I will maintain my guard on specially in this times as it is gonna start in 2 weeks time.
But are you sure its alright with you? if it is…I shall say no more..but be careful” remarked Lord Achils before going to do his businesses after closing the door, leaving the two alone.
Her sky blue eyes looked at Apolion who was having difficulty looking at her eyes.
My name is Lorenya Xi Kyolictlium but call me Lorenya” said Lorenya very calmly and fascinated by Apolion by directing a finger at her to highlight that is was her.
She detected that Apolion had an unusual bearing and origin as his aura is very different form the auras she could read from people.The reason she was so sure Apolion was not lying is because of her ability to detect lies through her magic but what was odd is that this magic barely worked and showed that is true but the magical energy’s flow is too shallow compared to what she had experienced.
She looked at Apolion with interest.
”I am Apolion” responded Apolion in a respectful tone but still a bit nervous.
”Ok, it seems you know a bit of Engorian yet you don’t know the full language, maybe, your family didn’t taught you the language or either you were learning but for some circumstances you left home. Nevertheless, first, lets teach you a good lesson..” said Lorenya in a calming voice and determined with a confident face.
”Etto..” Apolion was speechless for a second as he didn’t know what to respond.
”Well, I will take you around the village. So come on !” said Lorenya before setting to the village as she had nothing else to do.She hinted this Apolion by signalling to go outside.
She was already bored in her way here so she decided to go outside a bit after dealing with Lord Achils.
Apolion nodded and went outside along with the Lorenya.He took his bag with him too.
Apolion saw the picturesque world once more but this time he felt felt relaxed as he was walking with a beauty..
As they were going to the street a carriage with two horses came and the servant greeted them respectfully before signalling to go to the carriage.
The servant had black hair and black attire similar to a suit.But extravagant yet humble in both senses.
Apolion was looking it at it with curiosity.It looks ordinary but maybe, only nobles can afford carriages like this..Wondered Apolion before he was dragged by Lorenya to the carriage.
”Sit here and feel free” said Lorenya before looking at him carefully.
She prepared this to go around the village and explore, as the village was still new to her, beforehand..even thou the carriage looked too simple and wooden it provided less highlights and stand out less.She thought it would be a good opportunity to find some material mentioned by her father and few accessories..but never she thought she would meet a strange person almost the same age as her or so it looked like that posses a strange aura around him.This is many instances meant that the person hold some talent or a special ‘secret’…it happened only a 2 times..in her life..this is the 3th.That is, apart form his above than average face.
”I will explain to you the meanings of things you don’t know by going to shops as I so happen to need certain materials for going to the capital.”
”Oh! you didn’t know what I was saying never mind.” Lorenya said in self realization but she decided to wait till they reach the clothing shop she wanted to go to and find out Apolion’s mystery as soon as possible but, nevertheless, even if she wasn’t successful she would just be happy to help another individual she found interest in.She hardly ever pays attention to people that vigorously for her magical talents which could lead to arrogance that’s why she decided to temper her mind by living in adventures, after all, the nobles in the capital were arrogant, well, not all, but the majority.
Since her status was special she stayed indoors most of the times.However, she could go outside some of the times and had quiet a few friends.
With her appearance and talent she receives a lot of compliments and sons of noble houses try to woo her or gain her favor and some even propose marriage proposals…but as expected she rejected them all. They hold ulterior motives and unpleasant personalities for a room to even chat or be friends with as she sees through them.
This ability of hers was kept hidden and only she and some of her family members know..and few of her close friends or acquitances such as Lord Achils-whom she considers very close.
When she looked at Apolion he didn’t have lustful motives..well at first he did, but she thought its to be expected..but then it quickly changed to awe and tranquility…which is rare in a youngster like him looking at her beauty yet Apolion felt a bit flustered at first too, which made her laugh a little in her inner world.
Since this boy was different form the rest she decided to give a shot at knowing him.
the reason Lord Achils chose her is because it so happens that she is here and she is good at language so she could be a temporary language instructor for Apolion since she will stay for the winter.
Apolion only understood the first part so he just nodded.
Apolion was looking at the window not trying to miss any detail as it was all new to him and he knew he could not let his guard down.At least, not for now.
Houses after houses and children, women,men were passing by nothing was odd..
But what made Apolion impressed is that there was a woman with feline ears walking in the street.He decisively watched her…it was very strange and too unrealistic.it was a female too and the two kids a boy and girl also had those ears.Rare to the sight for Apolion.
”That’s a Beastkin of the Chatlic race…why you seem very impressed” asked Lorenya with curiosity and signalling him why that reaction.
”I can’t explain” responded Apolion with an obvious matter-of-fact gaze.
”Soon you will” Lorenya then focused on her thoughts and the people outside just like Apolion.
The commoners were also questioning whats a carriage doing there at first until…they thought its another acquaintance of Lord Achils and that was common to be in few cases so they ignored it.However, it left questions in their mind.
5 minutes has passed…
”So this is the so-called store Uncle Achils mentioned?” asked Lorenya to the servant.
”Yes, Milady this is the store.” said the servant with submissive and respectful tone.He was an middle aged man with caution and respect with utmost sincerity.
The store had a glass highlighting various dresses.. and mannequins..
Apolion was standing along with her in the store’s front. Lorenya was much one centimeter shorter than Apolion as the outside view them could be seen by the owner who immediately went to greet them.
The store was wooden and was linked to a house just like in Earth’s groceries.
There was something Apolion couldn’t grasp. ‘If this village average then why is there some luxuries? Also maybe this is common yet some things are not?’…Apolion’s thought wandered through the sky.
”Let’s go” as Lorenya entered Apolion did too.
They watched dresses constantly and she was picking all the beautiful dress she could find and buying them like crazy..
The old man from the shop felt quiet disturbed but respectful as he thought then his clients from other backgrounds could not buy his pieces of clothes anymore.He was the most talented in the village in regards to clothes and known for a special design related to symbols…most widely known among women… and it so happens that this noble girl from God knows where..is stealing everything..from his shop.He never met her before but stayed calm since the other party is superior is power and he would still get money.
Apolion watched with a sweating glance at Lorenya as he thought Is she always like this?..
Until she grabbed Apolion’s arm and made him go through the dresses..and made him chose one for her.
But Apolion was flustered again and quiet reluctant until he gave up and showed her what he liked since he could not reject a beautiful woman or girl looking at him helplessly since he was still hot-blooded teenager.
And also she forced him to memorize words depicted in clothing and also their names as well as teach him basic verbs in the way.She was too fast Apolion had to use a great deal of brain power to memorize and take notes by taking out a notebook from his bag..as the language was not Engorian but Froleian the official language of this country and village.
This went for the whole day.they also visited trestaurants for food and the common people clooked at them with strange eyes as it was unusual seeing a lady that beautiful and a another young man who seem to be form illustruous background together…
They were all staring at the both of them , specially, Lorenya. But decided to keep quiet and tell this event back home..and just admire the view..
it was so odd that at some point Lorenya got uncomfortable and left the restaurant with Apolion as she was teaching him the names of food which made the commoners from the restaurant look at them with more confusion, so, to not cause a big trouble they left as soon as possible.
Apolion thought Maybe my clothing will cause chaos so next time lets buy ordinary clothes with my hacks if Thariel really gave me one to earn money…later I will check..
Well this kept going for the whole day.exploring shops after shops and places after places…
The sun was setting…
”Ahh! It was quiet a interesting day.Even thou you were quiet mute your reactions were very funny but hope you learned something at least” laughed Lorenya looking at Apolion.
”I did learn something” responded Apolion with frank knowledge of what she was saying with a bet if he undestrtood it corectly or no..it all depended on the answer…
”I see, good” responded Lorenya to Apolion’s sentence…with a smile.
‘Yes I did it’ Apolion spoke in his inner world happily.
But when he looked at her smile he was awe struck one more time before quickly getting back to his senses.
”Look, that is where you will stay. The rest is fixed, no need to worry, see you tommorow.” Lorenya bid farewell to Apolion as she headed away in her carriage.
”So this is the place I am gonna stay?” asked Apolion to the air as he contemplated at the tavern-like apperance of the inn.
Probably a typical inn perhaps..in this world as perceived by Apolion after a while, of being here in the shops.
”Oh hey it’s you come here my Lord’ I have a room prepared for you and food to eat” said a feminine voice from the side and it was a woman.her gaze locked on Apolion with curiosity, but nevertheless, did what she was instructed to do by Lord Achils.
”Ah okay” Apolion understood the language a bit better but he responded after a long pause of 20 seconds trying to figure out what to say and not mix the languages as a response.
The woman had a long waitress dress and blond hair and green eyes with a loose hair reaching her waist too.Her beauty was less than Lorenya’s in Apolion’s perspective but she reminded him of Eliza…just more mature on the middle of her 20s and bigger breasted…at least cup D too.
But suddenly Apolion felt nostalgic remembering the past one more time.
”You look kinda depressed are you okay?” asked the soothing voice to Apolion…
”I am okay.I go” sad Apolion with a gloomy and tired look to the room as he signalling her to lead him to the room.
After finishing leading him to the room she presented herself..
”I forgot to tell you my introduction.I am Krisblenia Taklem but you can call me Miss Taklem or Miss Krisblenia. I am the owner of this inn and althou… I look weak and alone I got my ways to stay safe and I assure you you will fine as long as I am here.Also no worries there will be workers coming in tomorrow so it will fine.” Explained krisblenia to Apolion as she introduces herself with signals trying to suggest what she is saying for better understanding for Apolion.
”Ok. Thank you very much” responded Apolion with a nod before entering his room.
In bed….
”What a long and arduous day.” Apolion thought before going to bed to sleep by leaving his stuff somewhere and finishing checking everything he has for seeing if anything was lost.
He learned a lot and traveled a lot.It was time for sweet sleep for Apolion to recover….

Forest…where Apolion came
A figure with green attires and clothes similar to what Apolion wore was present but of a green colour with a hoodie on and a high tech armour arm was attached to the figure it seemed muscular yet slim of a metallic color and black highlights…
The figure was neither muscular or slim but in between…it was standing in a tree and seeing from far away-the village’s landscape- even thou it was miles..away as if it had a supernatural vision..
”Hoh..a village…interesting..it seems the one he told me about” said the figure before vanishing in a dark smoke.

Lord Achils: Nice try-
Lord Maximus: Pathetic you can’t recognize your Lord? *said Me still in Apolion’s appearance and blowing Achils with a punch sending him to the sky*
