章節 28: Betrothal surprise gifts

She looked at Arkalat clearly she fancied those cute dragons, essentially she wondered who would not?

But the price that they would have to pay for them would equal a small fortune. It would be enough to start a town and build a few castles.

Speranza would not ask for them, she could not believe that her own husband would consider this only cheap change in money even if he was to buy the entire store… Giving others the impression that gold was not worth a fart in his eyes.

Arkalat's treasury would be enough to place a great ancient dragon of ten thousands of years to shame making it look like a cheap pauper.

But of course, the little redhead had no idea that even the king of the abyss was a pauper next to his best friend that had spent half a century of years worth plundering towns taking anything of value, hoarding it like a greedy dragon while not even caring for gold or silver. He had taken them as it was his shares of the loots as the general…

Seeing her glance at the dragons while moving away from them, he guessed that she did not want to ask for them likely thinking they would be too expensive, very well he would let her have a surprise.

He spoke to the merchant once she had chosen a small wyvern-like creature.

That creature looked like it would grow to a decent size, but aside looking impressive it would not do much.

It had the looks of a mini-dragon with wings for arms it stood on two legs it had five claws at each foot the last thumb claw bigger and longer than the rest as well as being place a bit up the leg much like a velociraptor claw.

Its look's where fierce but due to the diminutive size, it made it cute instead.

Its colour of the scarlet tone with burnt orange belly made it look as if a glorious red dragon is not for its size.

As the price of a much more common wyvern would not be as high compared to the fey-dragon or that telekinetic dragon, but it still fetched a pretty sum.

He joined her as he asked for the trainability of that wyvern to the merchant and the handlers.

While it was not as smart as dragon kins it was at least smart as a smart dog.

It was enough for a decorative pet in his eyes since he had already brought the dragons it could only classify as such.

Taking a strong yet small chain made from high heat resistance mithril alloy a small collar placed around the new pet's neck and it was given to her. Of course Timara brunt with jealousy.

A wyvern still was an exotic and half a life fortune in gold! Only that unknowing girl would think it's much cheaper than a dragon. While it indeed was cheaper it still costed a pretty sum.

Green with envy she could not believe that the general had brought such priceless pet to amuse his human concubine.

Exiting the store he asked two of the guard to have the others delivered to there inn quarters.

A devious smirk hanged languidly on his perfect lips while expecting to see her reaction once she would see those dragons that are only good at home pets! Well only him would consider them like that in his eyes…

If his best friend the king knew this he would facepalm and faint of shock crying how about his friend is a hopeless case...

The two guards were shocked as cases of many beasts were loaded onto carts for them to bring over they guided the merchant's people to the place.

Then they brought them inside helped by the member of the crew that all resided inside the inn.

They had orders to choose an keep a hound each and place the "fancy" dragons up in the lady's room. So he could surprise her with them so they added a white silk cloth over the cages to add an effect of it being a genuine surprise gift.

They all had a very lasting impression of that lady of fire hair and delicate bearings. Sadly such cute wife would never be there's and they could only admire her.

Continuing on their outing Speranza hugged the small wyvern in her arms.

While her maids followed behind more like decorations than anything.

All under his watchful eyes.
