They were all fanatics of the heroes and their tales. There was a lot of children that ran towards us, so we felt slightly forced to greet them all, one by one. We were mostly ignored but our parents took all the spotlight, my father was even asked to give them autographs by writing his sign over paper or leather armor.
Summing it all up, it took us an hour and a half to get to our new home due to the immense amount of people greeting us. It was literally the entire village here trying to get a bit of the hero's attention. Because their appearance here was public unlike back in the human continent, everyone already knew it was them who were moving to their village.
This village was supposed to have the least inhabitants compared to the other territories but there was still over three thousand people to take care of. The village was also mostly all in the ground, it seems that there is a variety of types of elven villages. Some live in denser woody areas while others like the elves here simply live in open fields and farm like humans.
The capital is a combination of nature's beauty with open houses and built palaces. It was a nice combination, but there were enormously tall trees where many buildings were built upon too, so I guess there was just everything. The capital was by far the prettiest around. The streets were covered on moss and there were trees growing freely everywhere. An enormous lake connected with many rivers surrounded the castle… it was a dreamy and beautiful scenery.
The terrible thing was the royal family inhabiting it! And we would happily sacrifice that beautiful scenery just to get away from them. I might have to move to the capital later for the academy, but for now we'll just lay back and enjoy the countryside life.
When we arrived at our new home, we inspected the beautiful mansion. It had four floors and it was so tall it resembled a fortress made of wood. Painted beautifully as well, the entire residence was surrounded by a beautiful garden of an enormous size, there was plenty of space here to do a lot of activities if we wanted. Colorful flowers and plants decorated the gardens, and the walls were covered on vines and flowers as well.
"This is your new residence, we have hurriedly cleansed it down to smallest detail to welcome Princess Faylen, our new duchess." The chief said. "Would you like me to give you a tour around so you can get used to everything?"
"Thank you, we would appreciate it." My mother said.
"Very well then, leave your baggage here and follow me!" The merry chief quickly guided us all around the residence.
There were over twenty different rooms, five bathrooms, an enormous underground area for storing food and everything else. Each room was beautifully decorated with porcelain furniture and wooden furniture. The relaxing aroma of wood spread everywhere. We found a lot of illustrations as well around the house, of beautiful scenery or of former owners of the residence.
The bedroom given to me was incredibly big, so big I could fit an entire house from outside inside of here and have even more space left… Honestly I don't know why I was given such an immense room, it'll definitely feel lonely.
Everything looked luxurious, and the bathrooms were also big, with special magic items that produced warm water, steam, and also liquid soap with delicious aromas. There was also automatized toilets and something named toilet paper, which was produced in the country… ah there, was also this little toilet-like device that threw little bits of warm water, it was made to wash ourselves after using the toilet, interesting, I just used magic to wash myself but this is sure convenient for those that can't.
In this house we were going to live just my family alone. Aquarina's family was moving to the neighborhood unoccupied mansion. Aquarina really wanted to just live here. There was indeed plenty of space. But the chief said it would be better for each one to have their own home.
Ninhursag and Zack were going to be given their very own mansion as well, which left them shocked, but they decided to share it with Aquarina's family. Meanwhile, all the children from the orphanage alongside the nuns and Celeste were moving to their own mansion as well.
Uncle Arafunn was part of our family and also a great revered figure by the people here as the brother of the King. He was going to live with us, of course, so we are a family of five living in such a big house there could be over thirty people living here without problem. Well, maybe my parents will have more kids and it'll fill up. Or maybe Zephy will find a girl and get children too in the future.
About me? I don't really have any plans about being a mother at all, so I doubt I'll ever be one in hundreds of years… I am also interested in someone of my same gender so, that's not quite a possibility unless I decided to adopt someone else. But I have already planned to have a life filled with adventure, so I don't really want to adopt anybody nor feel obligated to take responsibility of a child, if possible.
Once we were in our new homes, I wandered around with Aquarina and Zack everywhere to get used to them, and they also invited me to their residence. It was slightly different too; the entire layout was something different. I thought each house was just a copy of the other but they were indeed different.
"Honestly these houses are like giant mazes! I don't get why we even need them, can't we just set up a camp outside?" Asked Zack.
"Yeah it's gonna be hard to get used to these closed houses." Aquarina sighed.
The two had lived their entire lives on tents in the tribe, unlike me who lived inside a closed house, so I can understand why they feel that way…
"Nope, we are going to have to get used to them from now. All of us are going to become nobles too. So you'll have learn etiquette, hehehe…" I laughed at their misfortune, as both kids suddenly looked at me with horror.
