Hers... Hers... Something belonging just to herself?
Tilda held her document, nervously blooming at Landon, as though asking what to do.
Throughout their travels, both Paula and Tilda had gotten accustomed to Landon, Josh and even Alina.
Well, even now, they were still slightly nervous. However, it wasn't as tense as it used to be.
Additionally, in the ship room they stayed in, they saw various materials and villa about Baymard... especially the rules there.
Again, it was only then that they realized that Landon was a big-time monarch.
But compared to others, he seemed very friendly. And from the newspapers, they also read about the other Pyno monarchs taking care of their citizens.
Hey... Who would've known that this Pyno were many looked down on was hiding several gemstones?
According to what they read, Baymard was a newly emerged empire.
And even Landon's backstory was similar to theirs. .maybe it was this fact that allowed them to drop their guard.
A child who lived in bullying for the most part of his life was finally able to raise his head high after getting exiled.
If anything, they admired him more. Likewise, they also realized that almost all of the newly crowned Pyno monarchs had such stories. This made them feel connected to Pyno.
Just look at how the 'fans' in the newspapers, Tv documentaries and so on... They could tell how pleased the people were with their Pyno monarchs.
There was almost no fear amongst these people. Some said they even sat out all night to attend the weddings. How impressive was that?
The duo had spent their time aboard the ship just watching documentaries and a few movies one by one.
Hey! They also saw the dark and beautiful Lucia and her charming brothers.
Another shocking fact was that there was a female Monarch in Pyno... Probably the first in the world!
It was then and there that their guard had once again stopped drastically.
~Clap. Clap. Clap.~
Bravo! Bravo!
Paula wished that she had known of this earlier. Or else wouldn't she have tried her hardest 5 years ago to flee and come over to Baymard?
With their disappearance from Dafaren, no one would believe that they had arrived at Baymard in such a short time.
If anything, for the next year or so, people would still be searching for them in Dafaren.
And after another year, many would probably proclaim them dead.
Paula shook her head wryly
The difference in ability, when compared to Baymard's, was truly shocking.
But at least for now, this beautiful place was their new home!
.
Landon rubbed Tilda's head with a charming smile on his face.
"It's yours... That's your new identity... Dina Everest."
"Dina Everest?" Tilda nodded, saying the name multiple times.
Tilda... Dina... It was close to her real name, so it would be easy to master and get used to.
And Paula's name was Paige Everest.
The duo tightened their grip on their documents, heading out of the first and into the most incredible carriage they had ever seen in their life.
"Wow! Brother Landon, where's the horse? Why don't I see how it's being pulled? Good looking! It's too good-looking!" Tilda couldn't help herself anymore.
A 14-year-old girl was still a child, no matter how adult-like she had become.
In the V.I.P garage, she circled the overly long limo, trying to understand how to enter.
But how could they allow a V.I.P to open the door?
~Catchack!
A man in a dark suit carefully opened the door, allowing the little miss to step in.
Waw~
Tilda couldn't believe her eyes, ducking her head into the vehicle.
Paula followed behind, sitting as though there were ants on her pants.
The limo's lights beautifully highlighted its interior.
Soft. So soft.
Caressing the seats, Tilda's feet dangled and shook like the tail of a happy dog.
Look! There were even drinks, snacks, and more interesting magazines tucked away in a corner.
Again, there was a massive dial before them that could control something called a radio, as well as its speakers for volume.
Looking out the window, Tilda was shocked.
"Nana! Nana! Look! A long carriage just passed over us!"
"What?"
Paula saw the hazy image of the sky train, not believing it to be completely true.
Maybe the trains were making her hallucinate? Or else, how could a carriage go that fast and be so long?
The more they saw, the more dumbfounded they became.
No wonder such people could create those flying devices.
I mean... Seeing all they've accomplished, it was just right for them to create those.
Vrmmm~
Their vehicle finally arrived at the Palace.
And once again, the women's eyes bulged with wander.
F***!
Morgany, shmorgany...
This has got to be the most beautiful palace, right?
Only the floors alone would win awards, talk less of the many palace buildings.
The women quickly got into the guest building, evading the rains.
And immediately, they spotted Lucy, Mother Kim, Lucius and the kids all waiting for them.
"Miss Dina... Mrs. Paige... Welcome to Baymard!"
....
Formalities, formalities...
Lucy and the rest had referred to them in their new identities, wanting the maids, guards or anyone else to believe this fact.
Better to make things clear from the start.
And like so, Landon had arranged for them to live in the same wing that the now married Grace used to live in.
Of course, it was the same wing where Mother Winnie, Ren, little Momo, and Linda lived.
The Wing had 6 massive rooms, all having walk-in closets. 4 now in use... Though in another 5 months, Mother Winnie would be getting married and moving out too.
In short, Paula and Tilda would fit in just fine.
Immediately, the children took Tilda on a tour, having her get acquainted with them.
Likewise, Paula was taken by Mother Winnie and Mother Kim.
Landon chuckled, reminding Tilda of her future training.
That's right.
A few days ago, she turned 14. And though she had come of age in Dafaren, 15 was the age in Baymard.
So she still has a year to go to school.
However, she would be homeschooled instead.
Her foundation was weak, and she had to start from the basics.
Homeschooling wasn't new. 5% of Baymard's population homeschooled their kids for various reasons, primarily because of health and late school entry.
Anyway, it's requested by law that all children must have an education before they become adults (15). There were many financial aid programs in place to help struggling parents.
And schooling for children below 6 was free. They paid that in their taxes. So... They better go to school.
Again, parents could save up during those 6 years for their children's future education after that.
For Tilda, she would get homeschooled... And would also receive her training.
She was the future ruler of Dafaren. So it was time to begin her training!
Landon left the joy fellows, planning to head to his office.
However, he had only taken a step away when he suddenly saw one of his secretaries making their way towards him hastily.
"Your majesty! It's from the Academy of Weather, Hert & Atmospheric Sciences... Your majesty, it appears to be urgent!"
~Bubumm.
Landon's heart shook.
