425 Preparation for the Journey
After Fein finished his morning routine, such as bathing, cooking for his mother, and inspecting Voli. He made his way towards Sofia’s house. It was worth mentioning that after the announcement of his status. He didn’t know why, every time he goes outside, some random degu users would greet him and call him Lord Fein!
He didn’t even know them. This is the first time that he felt the effect of his fame. But why did the number of degu users in San Fernando drastically increased? It’s the question that bugged his mind. That’s right... After the announcement, a lot of degu users that attended the event moved towards San Fernando.
...
Fein looked up and down at Sofia’s house was literally just six meters from their house. That’s right! Sofia bought a house near them. It really surprised him when he stood at the window and saw Sofia waving at him with a smile in the morning from the last time. Though, he feels happy because Sofia was just one step away from his house and the base.
The owner of the house is a rich businessman. It had been vacant for the past twenty-two years, according to their neighbor, because of the expensive price which the greedy man wants to sell it.
But who was Sofia Vladimir? The extravagant amount of the house wasn’t worth mentioning in front of Sofia’s golden wallet. It’s literally meager compared to her family’s annual income.
But why is the House so expensive? Well, because the engineer had done a good job in its structure and design. It bragged about aesthetic, practicality, and security! The whole house screams money!
In front of the house is a road, with a sign of ‘No Parking’ for the carriages. There are also another two villas. The first one is a white-painted villa with a rough brown roof and a green metal gate two meters from Sofia’s house on the right side. While the other villa had all sorts of colors. It has two windows, a garden, and a steel gate.
Sofia’s house, on the other hand, had blue paint on its exterior wall, furnished with wood painted brown and a flat burgundy roof. Overall, it’s pleasant to the eyes.
.....
TOK... TOK... TOK...
Fein knocked on the door three times and said. “Sofia, it’s already morning. Wake up! You said that you want to accompany me to the bank, right?”
Yeah, He was broke now. All the gold he had was spent on daily expenses, equipment that he bought, suits, and things that he didn’t know about. All his remaining money from his monthly income was stored in his bank!
Sofia offered him a huge sum of money, which he rejected. Yeah, it was dumb. But he’s a man! He didn’t want to take money from Sofia unless absolutely needed. It’s because he grew from the traditions of his country and even now he carried them with him subconsciously.
Filipino men should not let their women pay for money. Specifically, when dating? When needed, of course, men can borrow money from their girlfriends. But since he had money in his bank. He prefers to spend his own money! Sometimes, he had to admit that his ego won’t just let him do certain things.
“I’m coming!”
Fein was startled at Sofia’s voice which interrupted his thoughts. He unconsciously fixed his hair and styled it with his hands.
Just like that, the door opened. Sofia’s figure appeared in front of Fein. Sofia didn’t even give Fein a chance to react. She immediately charged at him for a hug.
“Good morning.” Sofia greeted Fein with a smile. She still had that glow of after-sleep on her.
Fein stared at Sofia’s plump pinkish lips, delicate facial features beautiful crimson eyes. This gave him the urge to perform a morning exercise with her, but he decided to restrain it. ‘I need to take care of more important things first!’
Seeing Fein not responding and just looking at her dazedly... Sofia broke from the hug and walked towards the door and says. “Come inside. Wait for me, I still have to take a bath. You didn’t say we would go this early to the bank.”
“Well, the early bird gets the worm.” Fein swaggered through the door. “Don’t take too much time okay?”
He was afraid that Sofia would beautify himself for an hour before they could go. After all, women will always be women when it comes to taking care of their appearance!
“Don’t worry.” Sofia chuckled, trotted into the bath with a towel in her hand, and closed the bathroom door.
Seeing this, Fein just sighed, saw a blue sofa from the corner of the room, and sat on it. Then he swept his eyes to the interior design of the house and couldn’t help but become amazed.
First of all, the house’s wall was painted green which gave it a calming effect. There are paintings hanging from it. Painting about nature such as a fountain, mountain, and forest. This gave made the whole room picturesque and full of lively atmosphere!
Around him, there are chairs, an ottoman table, a dining room table, a recliner chair, mini desks, bookcases, a sectional sofa, a large stool, and two cabinets. All of them had different logos that he guessed are from different expensive brands. In just one glance, he could judge the high-end quality materials used in the furniture.
The carpet on the floor was made of Deyolite thread. Deyolite thread came from the Deyolite tree. A really rare tree that only grows in the Sagada Forest from the East, and this tree had a limited number. Things made from Deyolite thread such as cloth or carpet are far more durable, soft, and stain-free than their other counterparts.
With that, it took Sofia ten minutes to come out of the bathroom. Then, the two went directly to the Bank of the South. As there was no ATM at the time, Fein had to go directly to the counter to withdraw 1200 gold coins. And he had only 500 gold coins left in his name. As for where he would use the gold coins. Of course, it’s time for their adventure to the North!
After that, they ate at some random restaurant and strolled in the streets for some time before they made their way to the Ranger’s Eye to bid their goodbyes. Fein had to inform Gregory first about his plans to the North.
