Volume 7 Chapter 41: You're Poor? What About Us?

"Dalen, can I get cement and other stones as well?" Keith asked. Besides cleaning up the island, the next thing he needed was materials.

"Are you building something big?" Dalen blinked. If he needed to use cement, whatever he was building was huge.

"I'm planning to make a pathway. So I must make a flat base first to work with it." Before placing anything down, you needed a flat base to level the area.

"Do you need any help with it?"

"It's fine. I got enough people on the island to help me with this." The pathway was going to be a project with everyone.

"But I will need help with the other things. Can I see what kind of stones you have?" The stone was going to make up most of the pathway.

"Sure. We have a lot of different stones you can use." Dalen laughed as there were a variety of stones before them.

"Thank you." Keith turned to Scarlet and Alfia, "Go ahead and choose something you like."

"Are you sure?" Keith asked them to come with him. However, they didn't think he would ask them to choose something like this.

"Just pick a few that you guys like. I will choose something from the end of it." Keith wanted to see what they could work with.

"Well, I don't know anything about colors, so I'm out!" Herrick and Melor quickly walked away from there! What they were going to do was search for weapons. Leona followed after the lion-man.

"We don't really care so much about this," Gabriel and the others watched. It didn't matter to them what it was.

"Alright," Scarlet didn't mind as she started to choose.

"Woah, there's a lot of different types here." Alfia and the others saw the samples that were shown. And there were rows around them!

"Mmhmmm, there's a lot." Keith nodded. He was surprised by the selection as well.

"How about this?" Scarlet picked out a black stone with red streaks on it.

"I chose this one." Sarah also picked one out; it was a white stone.

"Here's mine." A green one from Alfia.

"I was thinking about something like this." Faelyn picked a light grey stone.

"..." Keith wanted to laugh, "You guys all have a different one you like." There were really no two ways about it. Each one was different from the other.

"You told us to pick out the ones we like. What do you expect?"

"I know; that's why I'm happy." That was what he wanted from the girls.

"So, which one are you going to use?"

"For starters, black isn't a good color for the pathway."

"Oh, don't forget about the cement and that stone, Dalen."

Dalen chuckled, "Don't worry. I know. You don't have to worry about anything." How could he forget when he was such a rich patron.

"But I need time to procure all of it."

"Understood." Like that, they left the store.

"...I can't believe it. You wasted so many coins in a day." Everyone was still processing how much he had used.

"What? Do you guys not use that much?" Keith blinked.

"Of course not! Have you gone mad?!" Even Herrick and Melor had to retort!

"But you guys are princes and princesses. Shouldn't you guys be able to?"

"That doesn't mean we can use so many coins on the fly!"

"If my dad learned that I used so many coins, he would throw me out of the window!" Herrick didn't need to guess; this was an absolute.

"When my dad tried to use a mithril coin to buy something, my mother beat the snot out of him," Alfia added.

"...Should you guys really be saying all of this?"

"Anyways, we're not done. We need to get some wood as well!" Keith pumped his fist.

"Say what?" You want to buy more?

"Of course. We need to build a farmhouse to put chickens and cows in. Also, we might need a place for the smoker and such."

"..." Everyone could only stare at him as he headed to another store.

"...I feel so poor in front of him," Scarlet muttered.

"You're poor? What about us?" You guys are royalty, while we are only barons!
