Chapter 55: Gate

---Volume 2 Everyone! I do need your help with something readers, I have been thinking for the past days if I should make her an adult(physically wise), I have thought of a way to incorporate this but am curious as to what you readers think of this.---

As the trio neared the wall, they saw a large gate letting people and carriages through. As Thea was looking at the gate, she noticed there were 4 different queues to enter, some shorter and some really long.

"What are the different lines for Miss Uhhm I'm sorry, I don't think I know your name?" Mia asked, seemingly embarrassed she didn't know the name of one of her saviors, even after all this time together with them.

As Thea had always called Lily as 'mommy', Lily realized she hadn't given her name yet, and as she had used this appearance as her second identity in the past already, she had a full second identity, including a name of course. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Fufu, I guess you are correct. Call me Zyla for now." Lily said with a wink.

Although Thea understood half of what Lily said with that last sentence, Mia just nodded, no matter how confused she was.

Lily saw Mia's confused expression and giggled before she answered her original question.

"You see, the City of Fradon, the city where we are now. I'm saying this because Althea won't know." Lily said with a smile while looking at Thea and walking towards one of the shorter lines.

Thea nodded, unembarrassed to admit she had little knowledge about the city, and Lily continued.

"THIS IS A LINE FOR NOBLES ONLY." The guard said with a loud voice, not quite shouting but enough for the people from all the different ques to turn and look.

'What gives?' Thea thought, before she realized what the group was currently wearing. Adventuring clothes and Mia almost in rags.

Thea looked up at Lily to see how she would handle the situation, and unexpected to her she remained perfectly calm. She reached into a bag she had kept by her waist, almost a fanny pack, and pulled out a large golden coin with special, glowing engravings on it. The aggravated guard stiffened at the sight of the coin, turning pale and sweating profusely.

"Name." Lily asked in a demanding tone, still looking perfectly calm.

"B-Bren, Ma-am" The guard Bren answered meekly, not daring to look Lily in the eyes.

"Can we pass?" Lily asked, seemingly inpatient.

"O-of c-c-course." The guard called Bren answered with his head lowered.

Lily huffed while looking at the guard and called out to the girls following her, "Follow me girls."

Both Mia and Thea looked confused at each other but simply shrugged and followed Lily into the city.
