[Day 254]
It has been a week since Benladra was introduced to the children and the monsters, and we had also now introduced her slowly to certain groups of our adult friends, Rakasha, Pekora, Tisha, and more. All of them were as gentle as possible with her, and slowly, over these days, she began to be a bit more trustful.
She had been slowly knowing everyone better, but she still dislikes being with too many people close to her, as long as they keep a distance, she can tolerate large groups now, so that's what we are going to do, I guess.
Also, she likes interacting closely with the kids though, she accepts them more easily and had begun playing with them more than before. After the breakfast of the day and cuddling with her for a bit, we move out and let her play with her friends in the hall, or in the garden, or sometimes she goes to their rooms and is invited by them to play there.
Of course, we always go with her, and we stay in the back while looking at her play, we never truly leave her alone. Maybe we would do it when she reaches maturity, but she's a baby so we have to keep an eye on her 24/7.
All the kids love her because she's so cute, but she also has a mildly cheeky and domineering nature, she likes to order around the kids sometimes, and when she dislikes something, she throws it away angrily… I think our daughter might have a grumpy personality, but she's always gentle with us, so I don't know if this is how she treats the outside world or something.
Nonetheless, she's developing at a rapid pace and we are teaching her to be gentler with others as well, we are doing our best, but people cannot be perfect, that also includes our daughter, she cannot do everything right either, nor become the perfect living being with the perfect personality, there will be things that will stick with her, good and bad things, and such things will slowly build her personality.
We just have to make the good things more than the bad things, and balance it out… but it is not as if we want to define her entire personality to however, we want it to be, we have to leave her with some liberties so she can also do whatever she pleases to do.
She's already over a month old now though, so we shouldn't really hurry that much. Being a parent is certainly challenging in many things, everything has their challenges, and we cannot easily balance things out too well, we have a big responsibility as leaders of an entire and ever-growing Empire after all.
But we are doing our best, and finally, today we reached a nice and close distance from the Duchy of Orange Forest. This Duchy is located in the Kingdom we want to use to introduce ourselves to the more advanced societies aside from he secluded sects we had seen. It seems that although the sects might seem greatly similar to some Chinese cultivation novels systems, there is a lot of feudal Europe culture here, a lot, more than just lonely sects, who are not really seen as well.
It is actually common for sects to belong to big Empires and Nations, which make up the entire world, and they serve as special families or groups of families that create fighters and specialized warriors for the empires, nations, and Kingdoms they serve.
The Kingdom of Frost Tear only has four Duchies, and it is a relatively small Kingdom close to the coastal regions of the Continent of Jotunheim, in here vessels from all around the world come constantly, bringing goods from the other continents. The sea is calm and beautiful, and there are many activities regarding it, so we wanted to slowly move through the duchies until we got into the sea.
In this Kingdom, there are several duchies, and they are the Duchy of Orange Trees, Duchy of Crescent Rivers, Duchy of White Mountain, Duchy of Heaven Port.
Each Duchy is not that big compared to the big cities that some people have told me that are in the warmer lands of the continent, but they're dozens of times bigger than the three sects we have visited, and just by looking from afar, we can already see an immense city protected by a stone wall and surrounded by a large forest of Orange Fruit Trees, many rivers and also lakes.
Also, there is barely any snow here, we have already come past the snowy fields and mildly snowy fields, and we got into slightly cold grassy plains, which barley have any snow around, and the sky is often clear and not covered in clouds like always.
The place is actually very beautiful and there is much to explore, there are large mountains covered with grass and trees, and enormous forests of various colors made up of different types of trees that give all sorts of fantastical fruits I have not seen before.
There are also dungeons randomly spread which are gotten to be conquered, it is said, so I could find some info on that and pick up some dungeons for myself too, there might be quests for clearing dungeons or selling monsters and mana cores in that Adventurer Guild…
My plan is to actually go through the coast all the way down where we can enter the Empire where those two guys came from, which is directly linked to the Alliance, so we can register there.
For now, we plan to register for another thing we have found out which seems to be a job in these lands, Adventurers. Indeed, as I mentioned earlier, Adventurer Guilds are a thing, and as any lover of stupid Isekai stories, I really want to try it out and see if we can register as Adventurers and adventure through these lands… It is going to be plenty of fun.
