A Devil's Sins

Views of the landscape reflected off a young woman's eyes, glancing at the large city surrounding her. Cement homes standing strong together having small shops on each side of a wide single road leading through the area. Many people walked the stone streets of their hometown Freya, the first of six major capital cities across the nation. The massive walled civilizations, politically and socially, ran by the wealthiest nobles in each region. Their combined wealth brought a common order and law through the world. It has since solidified by their support of a well known organization known as The Temple. Having few Cathedrals outside of capital cities, their position among society representing what peace and faith remained ever growing through time. Eventually The Temple organization became a powerful and influential power in most places under the control and protection of nobles. Yet the further away you get from Capitals, the less involved The Rulers of the country and The Temple seemed. One cathedral held the young woman's attention, looking at its massive size and elegant design even from the distance she currently stood from it. She soon broke her trance-like stare and returned to the parchment in her hand.

At a store front, the woman stood with pen and parchment in hand, her eyes moving across the paper as she wrote. The young woman Aisellia Noel Rae, was a noble's daughter who had long blonde hair, the back tied into a long tail bound in place by an elegant ribbon. Aisellia's blue eyes raced across the parchment checking off a mental list of its content. She's commonly deemed one of the most beautiful nobles, her face having gentle features that could easily appeal which was evident, the workers taking glances at her attractive features while she was busy with her list. Her social class could easily be seen in difference from those surrounding her, although she had dressed simply in a short dress, leggings, and a small jacket her attire still looked elegant compared to the common folks clothing. Workers expeditiously moved in and out of the store, moving various things ranging from boxes of supplies to large bags of food and necessities.

"Almost done loading up for tomorrow Aisellia!" The woman writing on the paper lifted her eyes from her writing and turned to face the speaking worker standing beside her.

"Hm? Oh thank you Laura. Everything went smoothly since we have you to get these guys moving quickly."

"Anything to help!" The woman exclaimed. Laura's smile growing larger while she watched Aisellia finish marking things off her list. Her smile toned down to just a smirk as her eyes scanned Aisellia from top to bottom. Noticing the woman's gaze, Aisellia raised an eyebrow, tilting her head slightly, looking curiously at the woman.

"Just thinkin, you've come a long way in the last few years. Just how many businesses do you operate for your family now?"

"Only just a couple hee-hee, but they're just small stores. But I guess it was all worth it if my parents are trusting me to represent our family name on this expedition with the Temple."

"Exactly! Only the Temple could convince nobles to come together and put together supplies and stuff to go outside the city…fooor?"

Aisellia giggled seeing as Laura forgot or simply possibly didn't know what the purpose of the expedition was for which came to Aisellia as no surprise. She was a construction worker of the middle and lower districts, but she had taken a personal liking with Aisellia after their first few encounters many years ago. Laura was not of a noble family nor one of the few families funding the venture, brought together by The Temple attempting to aid civilizations outside their walled capital.

"To help with a good faith and relief effort. I guess some people really high up in the temple received a request from a small village no one knew existed near the mountains to the east. I heard there were problems there before which left that village in dire need of food and medicine" Aisellia responded, filling in the blanks of her overall knowledge of the expedition.

"Oooh I get it. Maybe they plan to help them and probably expand with the village or something. Most people who live in the capital never went outside the walls since its dangerous out there…"

Laura said, both smiles fading to the thought of unknown danger yet both went silent, their eyes drifting to one side, seeing soldiers in steel armor pass the two moving down the line of carts. Once they passed out of earshot, the two women nervously looked at each other.

"Hey Aisellia…you'll be careful out there right? You've always believed me since we were little girls."

"Growing up inside a capital…I've never seen or heard of one like everyone else, but…We met when we were little girls, you came here then and you've told me stories of what you've experienced…"

A somber look befell them both, their heads lowering with their eyes. A few seconds of silence passed before Aisellia began to speak once more, prompting both of their eyes to meet once again.

"I don't believe what they say. They don't believe just because they haven't experienced coming across something like that. But I do believe you and what you say. I trust what you learned from living through it instead of just what others hide themselves from seeing or heard yet. I trust you more than anyone here in the capital."

Aisellia smiled, her words surprising Laura, stunning her for a few seconds before it brought a tear and a large smile to her friends face.

"Thanks, I'm happy you trust me. I just wanted to warn you to be careful. I know you're going to have guards, noble reps, and a priest with you, but…just try to make sure you take care of yourself first and foremost out there."

Laura thanked her friend, taking a step closer to Aisellia out of excitement to hear her friends words. She took Aisellia's hands into her own in joy. Leading the two to once again exchange smiles with each other.

"Of course, the temple was against it but one of the supporting nobles hired a group of hunters for extra protection so we should be decently alright. It'll only make it more stressful if I go out into the world expecting everything that could go wrong to happen. Don't worry Laura, I promise to be back. We should only be gone for a couple weeks if everything goes smoothly."

"Makes sense, you're a Noble's daughter and just about the only person coming from a rich family that's done some real work in their lives. Who else's daughter learns to runs one of their parent's smaller businesses and completely turns them around in the middle quarter. I'm even still surprised rich people are putting their money into something other than their own pockets."

She said, bringing a finger to her lips as she attempted to think of any examples which her words were false but failed to do so. Suddenly her eyes widened, her gaze returning to look at Aisellia with haste.

"I don't mean that with your parents of course hehe!" Laura said as she laughed nervously which only made her friend giggle.

"It's alright Laura. I just might also be one of the few nobles in this city that can see the misuse of wealth and influence. Doing very little for those outside of the High District."

She said, turning the other way to look up at the cities skies and further into the city.

The next Morning…

Five horse drawn carts would be seen exiting the city through its guarded/heavily gated entrance. Armed soldiers walked along each side of the carts in formation. Inside the rear cart however a group of people sat in the back of the cart, The Priest sitting up front alongside the driver. One of those people was Aisellia, who sat looking over her own writing while the others conversed among themselves. Suddenly a voice broke her concentration, and by the way her face turned at the sound, it was a familiar voice but one she seemed to be annoyed by.

"Well Aisellia! I heard your family might be helping but to think they'd send you out with the rest of us" Aisellia raised her head seeing a young noble male of blonde hair and blue eyes speaking to her. His clothes were flashy and weren't meant to travel in, wearing a fur poncho with jewelry around his neck and fingers. The male looked very well She remained silent for a moment, glaring at the male, letting a few seconds of silence pass before she spoke.

"…I can bet you convinced your family to join in so you could follow me didn't you…?"

Shock overwhelmed the blonde haired male, or so he pretended as he seemed drawn back by the statement. Quickly bouncing back with his own rebuttal.

"….Of course not! Why would someone do such a cur-like thing! I'm offended you would even think that!"

Looking at Dan, Aisellia knew he failed to notice of the six nobles in the cart, half of them were women and with all of them being nobles they somewhat knew each other by family name at least. All the women were already glaring at him as well, all being familiar with his obsessive ways and attempts to "swoon" women. Aisellia being stalked by him the longest since they were teens, their families often working together on business.

(…He totally did that…)

All three women said simultaneously in the depths of their own minds, sending a detestable glare in the direction. The other males seeing it, one chuckled to himself and the other stuck gazing up front past the driver and another male in white seemingly ignoring their conversation. The other woman continued speaking with the noble male, chuckling at all of their simultaneous glares as Aisellia shifted her body away from his direction, sitting her notebook into a small bag resting on the seat near her.

Aisellia Rae: (Out of the families HIS had to be one sadly. Dan Aifried, His family is one of the main Noble families who hold status and Political power in the capital and undoubtedly the ric.h.e.s.t, they're considered the royal family of the capital as its leading family. One of the girls, along with the guy she's talking to are part of those high ranking families. Cana Sigfried and Ian Maliago, The red haired woman with matching eyes is Cana. Her family runs the capitals largest distillery and has plenty of high class taverns in the high ground. Ian's family is about as condescending as nobles can get, but their money goes towards too many things that only they can keep track of. The girl of long blue-hair and matching eye is Sheilia Ciest, another Nobles daughter who's family is one of the wealthiest. Most of the High Class social events have their name on it somewhere to a degree. The guy who's been looking out the front and I…our parents happened to acquire a business wealth enough to become Nobles. They rose from the middle class but as far as this expedition is concerned we supplied our resources and those three who're practically royalty funded everything else, in a way it made our families a lot of money. We're pretty much here to account for everything and help while the royals are pretty much just the faces of it all.)

The man wearing white cloth attire sitting next tothe driver looked over his shoulder, smiling at the young man looking in between himself and the driver, soon turning to see the rest of the group. While the man of cloth's gaze graced over the young nobles individually, passing by Aisellia who continued sitting silently in her own thoughts.

(Everything was assembled and put together among the families by the Temple, Father Leon is the coordinator and supervisor to all of us and the whole expedition.)

Time passed as they traveled. The road was long, moving from a stone road to dirt road paths to their destination. The noble's continued on how they had been following the road, Aisellia mostly spending her time jotting down her thoughts and reading over it. Unfortunately she was occasionally interrupted by Dan. After a long travel the expedition group found themselves half way to their destination. As the sun began to set, the group pulled onto the side of the path and sat up camp. The guards and Prieststood watch by the carts while the noble children and other merchants who rode in other carts sat at separate bonfires. On a log Aisellia sat around the fire engaging in conversation with one of the other noble girls.

"So Ian" One of the noble girls Cana began, speaking to the male she held conversation with on the cart, her friend sitting by her side together sharing a log to sit on.

"Do you believe in the spooky rumors of the free marches?"

"There are plenty of rumors about the free marches."

He said jokingly shrugging his shoulders attempting to quickly evade Cana's question, earning a playful smile from the two girls. Their conversation gained Aisellia's attention, her eyes shifting from the fire over to the conversing trio curiously.

Sheilia Ciest: "You know which one, the stories of dangerous monstrosities that roam the around killing anyone and anything without prejudice."

Dan Aifred: "Come now Ian, we're all aware of the stories."

Ian Maliago: "Of course. They're just that, Stories. It would be closer to the truth in my opinion to believe misfortune and Powerful bad spirits. Demons are just a story to keep kids indoors at night I'm sure."

Cana Sigfried: "Oh?"

Sheilia Ciest: "Ian's family is part of The Temple higher ups, so he would probably know more of the truth than what we could guess"

The girls sat back in their seats, their excited smiles fading into pouting.

"We'll all find out the truth eventually, after all that's the reason each one of us weaseled our way here. Am I right?"

Dan openly stated and questioned the nobles present. His statement took everyone by surprised, evident by their expressions with Dan standing near the bonfire, everyone's eyes reacting as if they all had a secret that was just revealed.

"Otherwise what are the real chances such an important relief effort needing to be done, and Families of our status…send us instead of long time servants or older trusted servants."

Looking at Dan, being the center of attention, managed to cause a moment of guilty silence from the group. Until Ian began chuckling

Ian Maliago: "I admit Aifred, your smarter than I thought."

Dan Aifred: "Ha! Finally someone sees my brilliance! I had my own d.e.s.i.r.es, but in the drafting process for this expedition I stumbled upon a list and saw all of your names which was odd but I decided to help you guys out and make sure it was us chosen."

Sheilia Ciest: "I see, plus it would be a lot more boring and difficult if it was just a bunch of over baring workers out here with you."

Dan Aifred: "Indeed, everything is better in the company of beautiful women! However the only one I didn't even have to talk to the temple or my parents to approve. The only name I didn't have to push for is Miss Rae over here."

He said looking at Aisellia, winking his eye in an attempt to flirt to which turned her face into an expression of pure disgust.

Cana Sigfried: "Makes sense. Our families are in high political order, yours Dan being pretty much royalty in the capital while Aisellia's family came from the middle class and moved up. Unlike us she's done actual work for her family for years."

Aisellia Rae: "I just worked and organize the stores for awhile. But I'm an only child so honestly, everything just came after"

"So you're a boss?" Cana questioned Aisellia curiously.

"Almost, I'm I've grown on the term boss bitch."

Aisellia said confidently smirking and shifting her sitting position. Cana met her smirk smile

Cana Sigfried: "Ooo, Boss Bitch? I like it! I might have to use that, nobody in the Noble and Royal districts ever comes close to making cool things to say."

Aisellia Rae: "I Appreciate your subtlety *giggles* but yeah, I learned it from a friend from the Middle District a while ago."

Sheilia Ciest: "Thinking about it, not many lower district families particularly like nobles enough to converse like that to learn cool new words."

Ian Maliago: "But even the common rich still do that, Unless you're not counting the tons of ass-kissing ones. "

Aisellia Rae: "Hmm? I guess it would make sense, I have no problem with them seeing how business usually takes me to the middle district so I'm normally talking to one person or another. Plus I have a friend who stays in the middle so I'm usually updated at some point."

She said, placing a finger to her lips as she thought about her friend Laura.

The Next Day: Inside the cart…

Dan Aifried: "Ho-ho one day Aisellia Rae, one day I hope to make you reconsider my proposal."

Ian Maliago: "Ok I'm curious, proposal of what?"

Dan smirked confidently as Aisellia's face turned sour.

Aisellia Rae: "It's exactly as it sounds sadly…"

Cana Sigfried: "…Is it bad that it's that obvious the only reason this infamous perv wants to marry you?"

Aisellia Rae: "It's bad all around really…He's followed me around trying to peep and creep on me since we were teens."

Sheilia Ciest: "I hear he's always at brothels or in strange areas picking up drunk girls."

Dan Aifried: "Don't start rumors about me!"

Aisellia Rae: "Oh? Have you heard of the word going around about Dan?"

Dan Aifried: "Hey!"

Sheilia Ciest: "Yay we're starting a rumor!"

Knowing they were joking, Dan gave up trying to fight their teasing and sat with his head hung low, the girls however and even the silent noble male joined in for the group laughter, unable to hide the humor he found in the joke. Ian chuckled, but looked uneasy, commenting to himself while the other laughed

Ian Maliago: (I think it'll be better if they didn't know that's what he's really always up to, without the brothels. He's always aggressively flirting with gullible or vulnerable girls. Waving his money and status to get what he wants from them.)

Dan Aifried: "I'm sorry no one's around to hear this lie. Only half a day until we arrive."

Priest: "Speaking of which, in a little while we'll be entering another nation so the climate will be changing, so we'll be stopping shortly ahead so that you all may change clothes for the weather."

Dan Aifried: "Change?!"

Ian Maliago: "Don't tell me you didn't bring anything to adjust to the heat?"

Dan Aifried: "…"

Aisellia Rae: "Wow, I think I might actually feel bad for him if he doesn't get the heat stroke he probably deserves."

Dan raised his head hearing the words that brought a smile to his face yet as he looked at Aisellia she had a devilish large grin, the thought of it bring her a deep dark joy if he did suffer from a heat stroke.

"The Sandora area is a region of high heat waves, it even has a massive desert the spans across the bottom border of the country. It's different from our people in Fio which has spring seasons half of the year. So you just might actually die from a heat stroke."

Aisellia had explained to the group the natural climate of their destination.Dan frowned and lowered his head again as the rest of them awkwardly laughed, caught off guard by her grin. With them all realizing that she had a deep dislike of Dan. The carts stopped, the priest noting they were stopping in the small town to change at their Inn, letting them know he had sent someone ahead to make the preparations.

A few minutes later…

The three male Nobles would be in a changing room, Dan leaning against a wall visibly upset. The other two already putting on new pants, they went through the assortments of their large travel cases.

"At least you could take off that huge fur cloak, it's not like this was supposed to be a high maintenance social like in the city." Ian stated, looking at Dan resting his back against a wall next to the doorway, still dawning his all white attire and cloak.

"Greeting the helpless village as one of the four royal children demands presence, how else would their savior look other than perfect?"

(You…are something else. But it's not like he's the only one. Money and power goes to almost every nobles head.)

"Hm? Lord Raizo, correct?"

Dan question out loud, earning the attention of the male who had been silent for the trip so far. Somewhat surprised to hear his name he looked curiously at Dan.

"We're all on this trip together so if it's easier to call Shin, it's alright."

"Alright Shin Raizo it is. Question, what gave you that scar?"

"That's not the type of question you just ask somebody Dan" Ian interjected into their conversation to point out Dan's obvious rudeness.

"It's alright actually, he's not the first to ask."

"It's also weird because outside of your clothes your oddly buff, the scar goes from your shoulder to your back. I don't think many would get to see it. Almost like you intentionally hide it but everyone must wear clothes so that assumption fails."

With Dan's mention Ian looked, seeing the scar on Shin Raizo's back he had failed to notice prior. To Dan it looked odd because it surprised him yet Ian could tell

(He's toned like an athlete or a warrior. Maybe the scar was an accident.) Ian noted mentally as he looked over the body and scar of the youngest male in the room.

Dan Aifried: "When I got father's council to group us for this trip, all of our names are from noble families so that includes yours but-"

Shin Raizo: "But you've never seen me or my family at any socials or events? In truth my family adopted me. A noble woman and a Great Priest took mercy on a child is all my story is."

Ian Maliago: "Makes sense then, those who work for the Temple and Rise to the greater ranks are treated almost as equally as Nobles…With you being the exception Dan."

Dan Aifried: "Then it only makes me want to ask even more based on other thoughts I've had and a few rumors. Shin, did you get that scar from a demon?"

Ian Maliago: "Dan, what noble ever leaves-?"

Shin Raizo: "Hm, it was simply an accident long ago."

Shin said as he finished putting on his shirt and left the changing room. Ian standing shirtless stood in slight shock.

"Do you think he was for real?" Ian questioned the Aifried noble.

"Probably but he didn't exactly say no either. I had to ask for myself though."

"Why is that?"

Dan raised his hand to his chin in thought, letting a silence fill the room for a few seconds before he spoke once again to answer Ian.

"Ian…Let's just say I dug a little deeper than I should have back in the city. I just have some questions now Shin probably can't answer. I may just have to have a chat with the Priest."

Dan said ominously as he walked out of the dressing room. Ian silently watched him leave, visibly confused by Dan's last statement.

In The women's dressing room…

Sheilia would be seen visibly pleased with herself, twirling in her newly changed outfit.

"I like fancy dresses but they're way too much fabric, takes up all the moving space if you ask me."

Sheilia said, having switched from her formal dress to a sleeveless mid-driff top attire accompanied with a skirt, t.h.i.g.h-highs, and a hat.

"I looks cute! I'll be making one hell of an impression as a cute Noble girl."

She announced, striking small pose but suddenly her expression shifted being one of shock as she seen Cana pulling up her shorts, watching her c.h.e.s.t bounce in her bra when she stood up bouncing on her heels to snug them on nicely. Cana wore a thin short sleeved shirt under what appeared to be something similar to a elegant casino dealer's vest. Sheilia's expression became sour with envy as she watched her friend bounce up and down to wiggle her shorts to a button over the slightly longer thin black bodysuit material she wore underneath the clothing on her lower body. Subconsciously Sheilia couldn't help but to place her hands over her own c.h.e.s.t in envy. Cana fitted on her elegant shirt and vest leaving her stomach exposed like Sheilia yet her top left her cleavage partially exposed in it's glory. Noticing her friend looking from the side, Cana turned to face her friend with a playfully smug smile.

"…Flat is justice…" Sheilia said while glaring at her friend Cana who held a smug smile on her face.

Cana Sigfried: "Hills are truth…"

The two held their expressions, their focus on each other breaking hearing Aisellia giggle and speak.

Cana & Sheilia: (I forgot she was here for a minute.)

"You two must be really good friends, you remind me of me and my friend Laura a little."

Aisellia said, her voice traveling to the other side of the dressing area where the other girls stood by each other. Cana and Sheilia turned their heads to look at Aisellia undressing, pulling her shirt over her head. Seeing her c.h.e.s.t lift with her shirt, the two girls were in shock, both being drawn back once Aisellia removed her shirt, seeing her large c.h.e.s.t drop back down and rested naturally in her lace bra.

"She has mounds of life!" both Cana and sheilia quickly exclaimed, their eyes locked onto Aisellia who still underwent an outfit change. Aisellia now having her shirt in her hand she noticed the two looking at her with jealousy. She looked confused at the two who now both held their hands on their own c.h.e.s.ts.

"Sheilia THAT'S what unfair really looks like..." Cana proclaimed as she and Sheilia looked over Aisellia voluptuous figure and assets.

"Do you have to look so strongly? If it wasn't for Laura always finding some way to mess with me I'd be a little more embarrassed than I am now."

Aisellia said playfully smiling, placing her fingers between her h.i.p.s and the waistline of her pants, seeing Cana's eyes move down to her waist.

"Oh? You're curious too Cana?"

Aisellia said teasingly before sliding down her pants leading the two noble girls to become dizzy from surprise.

"Soft t.h.i.g.hs and a supple booty! It jiggles for no reason!"

The two noble girls simultaneously said. While the two regained themselves, Aisellia finished getting dress, wearing an elegant top At her waist she adorned a matching short skirt, the body stocking stopping at her upper t.h.i.g.hs, giving her the appearance of shorts under her skirt., a large amount of her cleavage visible through the cut-out opening leaving her cleavage visible, her b.r.e.a.s.t seeming to push against the fabric helping keep them contained and in place.

"Damn Aisellia, how can you hide all that in clothes? When we get back to the city we're hanging out…I have eat what you eat or however you get a body like that!"

Cana said enviously before the girls shared a laughed, sealing up their travel cases and finished the final touches and adjustments on their outfit.

"That's fine with me, I mostly eat meaty dishes in the middle district but I think my daily exercise evens it out. I have a friend that works at a family restaurant. Noble places just have expensive tiny dishes so I only eat at those places if I have to."

A look of determination came over Cana and Sheilia simultaneously.

"Get ready Sheilia, we're gonna start seeing the middle class area and eating poor people food!"

"Ready! We'll fill out more like her!"

The two said looking at Aisellia's body, both simultaneously nodding in agreement with each other. Aisellia giggled at the two.

"Well…they're not poor exactly" Aisellia humbly noted to Cana.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!"

Aisellia Rae: "It's ok, I knew what you meant. I can tell you two aren't like the other 90% of Noble girls. Our city is massive and the financial difference between High, middle, and low class respectively is exponential."

Sheilia Ciest: "It's one of the reasons me and Cana wanted to go on this expedition, not just to broaden our horizons as noble women."

Cana Sigfried: "But to also to see the world how it really is, most noble's like you said, just gets stuck in their stuck up world. Nobles stay in the highlands and live lavishly, with the guarded blockades blocking districts from one another, nobles don't really ever leave there. They just hire someone to go outside of the district for them. Some things work out though. Sheilia and I have been friends since we were little girls. Our families have always been close."

Aisellia Rae: "It's sad but true. Nobody, even the middle class never leave the city and those in the low quarters…"

Sheilia Ciest: "Simply can't…"

Aisellia Rae: "Sheilia?"

Sheilia Ciest: "I might be the princess type stuck in a tower everyday but I've done my own research into the city. With Cana's help of course."

Aisellia Rae: "Then it's settled, since I work for my parents, my business pass can get all three of us past the district gate. I'll show you two a few nice things. Some things aren't as bad as the nobles make it seem, even with their struggles they are more lively people than most nobles. And of course we can eat at a few places."

She said winking her eye, leading Cana and Sheilia both to smile at each other before running over to Aisellia, each taking a hand of hers

Cana Sigfried: "From this day we're all in it together!"

A few minutes later…

The male nobles and the priest could be seen standing next to the cart they rode in, the line of cargo in an orderly fashion. The three girls stepped from the building and walked up to the group. The male's heads turned, only for the priest to quickly turn away with a blushed face.

"I'll be riding in the front cart today to be at of the head of the arrival, It's far more pleasing to be greeted immediately by an ambassador of the capital."

He said while hastily walking away towards the front horse-drawn cart..

"Did even the Priest just get turned on? I guess we are just a bit overloading for a man of the cloth."

The girls said. Giggling over the matter and the fact they were thinking the same thing, they confidently returned their eyes to the male nobles who stood faces flushed red and their jaws dropped. Shin snapped back to reality, catching his own self and simply hopping into the back of the cart. Ian and Dan however stood stuck, unaware at how hard they were exactly staring but the girls smiled in confidence together.

"Ok guys your few seconds of free gawking are up!"

Hearing Cana;s declaration, the two snapped out of their trance like state, fixing their posture, Ian and Dan raised their hands to their mouth and awkwardly coughed, but as much Ian's body wanted to, his eyes glued to Cana's cleavage, Dan's were locked on Aisellia's. Noticing this Aisellia folded her arms under her b.r.e.a.s.ts and turned slightly away from the boys, having Dan's jaw drop again and earn Ian's gaze as well.

"Dan, pick up your jaw and stop now. You don't get any seconds." Aisellia demanded of him.

"It's hard not to when you're dressed like that."

"All those fancy dresses get stuffy. Even though they look extravagant they're kind of uncomfortable" Cana interrupted slightly irritated by Dan's comment before Aisellia took the lead in calling him on it.

"Don't be such a bigot Dan. Our skin have to breathe. Clothes tend to be suffocating, tight or outright uncomfortable. It's a terrible idea to go into an incredibly hot area and there's no room for vent your body heat."

"Yeah, are you two such kids that you're offended by a woman's natural body?"

Cana, said, leaning forward purposely to lure Ian into peeking down her shirt of which she smirked mischievously catching him unable to avoid looking before quickly shifting his eyes, knowing she was watching his face. Aisellia, holding her arms under her b.r.e.a.s.ts began walking towards the cart, her outfit's c.h.e.s.t cutout leaving her c.h.e.s.t still visible through the opening.

"I think they are Cana." Aisellia began in supporting Cana's train of thought and continuing the notion.

"Nothing wrong with the appeal of a woman's body. If you got it it's ok in my opinion to show a little or a lot, whatever a girl can be comfortable with on the inside in my opinion."

"Hee-hee, I believe so too Aisellia!" Cana agreed before following her new friend into the cart, followed by the guys. Sheilia however stood, her face riddled with envious rage, her hands being placed on her c.h.e.s.t, glaring as they made their way to the back into their cart.

"…Flat is justice"

A short time later…

Shin was sitting up front with the driver, taking the priests place. Ian sat, his eyes attempting to look at any direction other than Cana who sat across from of him. It looked painful, attempting to keep his eyes from straying, but she sat speaking to Sheilia. At his breaking point, he assured himself a quick glance would be fine. His eyes slowly shifted, his eyes widening at the sight before him. Now across the border into the new country, the dirt road they traveled on being bumpier than the stone streets they were used to. The moment his eyes looked at her cleavage his eyes caught sight of her b.r.e.a.s.ts bouncing with the road, seeming each time to almost spill out of her clothes.

"Hm? Ian, are you stuck again?" Cana questioned teasingly, Ian's eyes shot up to meet with hers, realizing he was caught and quickly turned his head. "I uuuh" Ian responded attempting to look away but ended up viewing Aisellia's c.h.e.s.t as well who had a cold glare on Dan, watching him to ensure his eyes were elsewhere of which he seemed frozen stiff to make sure his eyes were held away. Aisellia began noticing Ian's gaze, slowly turning her head, giggling to herself.

"Just try to ease up a little Ian. It's not like we blame you. We're aware of our figures and how they look in these outfits, honestly it's part of the reason we like these outfits. Nothing wrong with liking what you see as long as you're not rude or creepy about it. Just a girl tip for you."

Aisellia and Cana shared a playful laugh at the expense of the males.

Cana Sigfried: "You are man who just sees what he likes. Women aren't as stupid as to wear things like this and not expect some glances…well some are. As long as you're not rude, glance or two isn't bad or anything but that's totally up to the girl you're dealing with."

Aisellia Rae: "Quite frankly I think it would be odd if you weren't struggling to keep your eyes off them as you were."

"For the sake of my healthiness as a man I must also-!" Dan exclaimed, feeling he would get away with it as Ian did, aiming to turn his head and fully gaze upon the women's bodies but his face was stopped by a single finger of Aisellia's, stopping his head from turning fully.

"Eyes stay outside the cart creep…" Aisellia sternly said. This move caught the other nobles by surprise, Dan fearfully following her command was even more of a surprise. But he growled underneath his breath.

(Stupid bitch…How dare she touch me after being so entitled. I'm still royalty and the most important envoy on this trip. An Aifried gets what he wants one way or another Aisellia)

View the landscape reflected off a young woman's eyes, glancing at the large city surrounding her. Cement homes standing strong together having small shops on each side of a wide single road leading through the area. Many people walked the stone streets of their hometown Freya, the first of six major capital cities across the nation. The massive walled civilizations, politically and socially, ran by the wealthiest nobles in each region. Their combined wealth brought a common order and law through the world. It has since solidified by their support of a well known organization known as The Temple. Having few Cathedrals outside of capital cities, their position among society representing what peace and faith remained ever growing through time. Eventually The Temple organization became a powerful and influential power in most places under the control and protection of nobles. Yet the further away you get from Capitals, the less involved The Rulers of the country and The Temple seemed. One cathedral held the young woman's attention, looking at its massive size and elegant design even from the distance she currently stood from it. She soon broke her trance-like stare and returned to the parchment in her hand.

At a store front, the woman stood with pen and parchment in hand, her eyes moving across the paper as she wrote. The young woman Aisellia Noel Rae, was a noble's daughter who had long blonde hair, the back tied into a long tail bound in place by an elegant ribbon. Aisellia's blue eyes raced across the parchment checking off a mental list of its content. She's commonly deemed one of the most beautiful nobles, her face having gentle features that could easily appeal which was evident, the workers taking glances at her attractive features while she was busy with her list. Her social class could easily be seen in difference from those surrounding her, although she had dressed simply in a short dress, leggings, and a small jacket her attire still looked elegant compared to the common folks clothing. Workers expeditiously moved in and out of the store, moving various things ranging from boxes of supplies to large bags of food and necessities.

"Almost done loading up for tomorrow Aisellia!" The woman writing on the paper lifted her eyes from her writing and turned to face the speaking worker standing beside her.

"Hm? Oh thank you Laura. Everything went smoothly since we have you to get these guys moving quickly."

"Anything to help!" The woman exclaimed. Laura's smile growing larger while she watched Aisellia finish marking things off her list. Her smile toned down to just a smirk as her eyes scanned Aisellia from top to bottom. Noticing the woman's gaze, Aisellia raised an eyebrow, tilting her head slightly, looking curiously at the woman.

"Just thinkin, you've come a long way in the last few years. Just how many businesses do you operate for your family now?"

"Only just a couple hee-hee, but they're just small stores. But I guess it was all worth it if my parents are trusting me to represent our family name on this expedition with the Temple."

"Exactly! Only the Temple could convince nobles to come together and put together supplies and stuff to go outside the city…fooor?"

Aisellia giggled seeing as Laura forgot or simply possibly didn't know what the purpose of the expedition was for which came to Aisellia as no surprise. She was a construction worker of the middle and lower districts, but she had taken a personal liking with Aisellia after their first few encounters many years ago. Laura was not of a noble family nor one of the few families funding the venture, brought together by The Temple attempting to aid civilizations outside their walled capital.

"To help with a good faith and relief effort. I guess some people really high up in the temple received a request from a small village no one knew existed near the mountains to the east. I heard there were problems there before which left that village in dire need of food and medicine" Aisellia responded, filling in the blanks of her overall knowledge of the expedition.

"Oooh I get it. Maybe they plan to help them and probably expand with the village or something. Most people who live in the capital never went outside the walls since its dangerous out there…"

Laura said, both smiles fading to the thought of unknown danger yet both went silent, their eyes drifting to one side, seeing soldiers in steel armor pass the two moving down the line of carts. Once they passed out of earshot, the two women nervously looked at each other.

"Hey Aisellia…you'll be careful out there right? You've always believed me since we were little girls."

"Growing up inside a capital…I've never seen or heard of one like everyone else, but…We met when we were little girls, you came here then and you've told me stories of what you've experienced…"

A somber look befell them both, their heads lowering with their eyes. A few seconds of silence passed before Aisellia began to speak once more, prompting both of their eyes to meet once again.

"I don't believe what they say. They don't believe just because they haven't experienced coming across something like that. But I do believe you and what you say. I trust what you learned from living through it instead of just what others hide themselves from seeing or heard yet. I trust you more than anyone here in the capital."

Aisellia smiled, her words surprising Laura, stunning her for a few seconds before it brought a tear and a large smile to her friends face.

"Thanks, I'm happy you trust me. I just wanted to warn you to be careful. I know you're going to have guards, noble reps, and a priest with you, but…just try to make sure you take care of yourself first and foremost out there."

Laura thanked her friend, taking a step closer to Aisellia out of excitement to hear her friends words. She took Aisellia's hands into her own in joy. Leading the two to once again exchange smiles with each other.

"Of course, the temple was against it but one of the supporting nobles hired a group of hunters for extra protection so we should be decently alright. It'll only make it more stressful if I go out into the world expecting everything that could go wrong to happen. Don't worry Laura, I promise to be back. We should only be gone for a couple weeks if everything goes smoothly."

"Makes sense, you're a Noble's daughter and just about the only person coming from a rich family that's done some real work in their lives. Who else's daughter learns to runs one of their parent's smaller businesses and completely turns them around in the middle quarter. I'm even still surprised rich people are putting their money into something other than their own pockets."

She said, bringing a finger to her lips as she attempted to think of any examples which her words were false but failed to do so. Suddenly her eyes widened, her gaze returning to look at Aisellia with haste.

"I don't mean that with your parents of course hehe!" Laura said as she laughed nervously which only made her friend giggle.

"It's alright Laura. I just might also be one of the few nobles in this city that can see the misuse of wealth and influence. Doing very little for those outside of the High District."

She said, turning the other way to look up at the cities skies and further into the city.

The next Morning…

Five horse drawn carts would be seen exiting the city through its guarded/heavily gated entrance. Armed soldiers walked along each side of the carts in formation. Inside the rear cart however a group of people sat in the back of the cart, The Priest sitting up front alongside the driver. One of those people was Aisellia, who sat looking over her own writing while the others conversed among themselves. Suddenly a voice broke her concentration, and by the way her face turned at the sound, it was a familiar voice but one she seemed to be annoyed by.

"Well Aisellia! I heard your family might be helping but to think they'd send you out with the rest of us" Aisellia raised her head seeing a young noble male of blonde hair and blue eyes speaking to her. His clothes were flashy and weren't meant to travel in, wearing a fur poncho with jewelry around his neck and fingers. The male looked very well She remained silent for a moment, glaring at the male, letting a few seconds of silence pass before she spoke.

"…I can bet you convinced your family to join in so you could follow me didn't you…?"

Shock overwhelmed the blonde haired male, or so he pretended as he seemed drawn back by the statement. Quickly bouncing back with his own rebuttal.

"….Of course not! Why would someone do such a cur-like thing! I'm offended you would even think that!"

Looking at Dan, Aisellia knew he failed to notice of the six nobles in the cart, half of them were women and with all of them being nobles they somewhat knew each other by family name at least. All the women were already glaring at him as well, all being familiar with his obsessive ways and attempts to "swoon" women. Aisellia being stalked by him the longest since they were teens, their families often working together on business.

(…He totally did that…)

All three women said simultaneously in the depths of their own minds, sending a detestable glare in the direction. The other males seeing it, one chuckled to himself and the other stuck gazing up front past the driver and another male in white seemingly ignoring their conversation. The other woman continued speaking with the noble male, chuckling at all of their simultaneous glares as Aisellia shifted her body away from his direction, sitting her notebook into a small bag resting on the seat near her.

Aisellia Rae: (Out of the families HIS had to be one sadly. Dan Aifried, His family is one of the main Noble families who hold status and Political power in the capital and undoubtedly the ric.h.e.s.t, they're considered the royal family of the capital as its leading family. One of the girls, along with the guy she's talking to are part of those high ranking families. Cana Sigfried and Ian Maliago, The red haired woman with matching eyes is Cana. Her family runs the capitals largest distillery and has plenty of high class taverns in the high ground. Ian's family is about as condescending as nobles can get, but their money goes towards too many things that only they can keep track of. The girl of long blue-hair and matching eye is Sheilia Ciest, another Nobles daughter who's family is one of the wealthiest. Most of the High Class social events have their name on it somewhere to a degree. The guy who's been looking out the front and I…our parents happened to acquire a business wealth enough to become Nobles. They rose from the middle class but as far as this expedition is concerned we supplied our resources and those three who're practically royalty funded everything else, in a way it made our families a lot of money. We're pretty much here to account for everything and help while the royals are pretty much just the faces of it all.)

The man wearing white cloth attire sitting next tothe driver looked over his shoulder, smiling at the young man looking in between himself and the driver, soon turning to see the rest of the group. While the man of cloth's gaze graced over the young nobles individually, passing by Aisellia who continued sitting silently in her own thoughts.

(Everything was assembled and put together among the families by the Temple, Father Leon is the coordinator and supervisor to all of us and the whole expedition.)

Time passed as they traveled. The road was long, moving from a stone road to dirt road paths to their destination. The noble's continued on how they had been following the road, Aisellia mostly spending her time jotting down her thoughts and reading over it. Unfortunately she was occasionally interrupted by Dan. After a long travel the expedition group found themselves half way to their destination. As the sun began to set, the group pulled onto the side of the path and sat up camp. The guards and Prieststood watch by the carts while the noble children and other merchants who rode in other carts sat at separate bonfires. On a log Aisellia sat around the fire engaging in conversation with one of the other noble girls.

"So Ian" One of the noble girls Cana began, speaking to the male she held conversation with on the cart, her friend sitting by her side together sharing a log to sit on.

"Do you believe in the spooky rumors of the free marches?"

"There are plenty of rumors about the free marches."

He said jokingly shrugging his shoulders attempting to quickly evade Cana's question, earning a playful smile from the two girls. Their conversation gained Aisellia's attention, her eyes shifting from the fire over to the conversing trio curiously.

Sheilia Ciest: "You know which one, the stories of dangerous monstrosities that roam the around killing anyone and anything without prejudice."

Dan Aifred: "Come now Ian, we're all aware of the stories."

Ian Maliago: "Of course. They're just that, Stories. It would be closer to the truth in my opinion to believe misfortune and Powerful bad spirits. Demons are just a story to keep kids indoors at night I'm sure."

Cana Sigfried: "Oh?"

Sheilia Ciest: "Ian's family is part of The Temple higher ups, so he would probably know more of the truth than what we could guess"

The girls sat back in their seats, their excited smiles fading into pouting.

"We'll all find out the truth eventually, after all that's the reason each one of us weaseled our way here. Am I right?"

Dan openly stated and questioned the nobles present. His statement took everyone by surprised, evident by their expressions with Dan standing near the bonfire, everyone's eyes reacting as if they all had a secret that was just revealed.

"Otherwise what are the real chances such an important relief effort needing to be done, and Families of our status…send us instead of long time servants or older trusted servants."

Looking at Dan, being the center of attention, managed to cause a moment of guilty silence from the group. Until Ian began chuckling

Ian Maliago: "I admit Aifred, your smarter than I thought."

Dan Aifred: "Ha! Finally someone sees my brilliance! I had my own d.e.s.i.r.es, but in the drafting process for this expedition I stumbled upon a list and saw all of your names which was odd but I decided to help you guys out and make sure it was us chosen."

Sheilia Ciest: "I see, plus it would be a lot more boring and difficult if it was just a bunch of over baring workers out here with you."

Dan Aifred: "Indeed, everything is better in the company of beautiful women! However the only one I didn't even have to talk to the temple or my parents to approve. The only name I didn't have to push for is Miss Rae over here."

He said looking at Aisellia, winking his eye in an attempt to flirt to which turned her face into an expression of pure disgust.

Cana Sigfried: "Makes sense. Our families are in high political order, yours Dan being pretty much royalty in the capital while Aisellia's family came from the middle class and moved up. Unlike us she's done actual work for her family for years."

Aisellia Rae: "I just worked and organize the stores for awhile. But I'm an only child so honestly, everything just came after"

"So you're a boss?" Cana questioned Aisellia curiously.

"Almost, I'm I've grown on the term boss bitch."

Aisellia said confidently smirking and shifting her sitting position. Cana met her smirk smile

Cana Sigfried: "Ooo, Boss Bitch? I like it! I might have to use that, nobody in the Noble and Royal districts ever comes close to making cool things to say."

Aisellia Rae: "I Appreciate your subtlety *giggles* but yeah, I learned it from a friend from the Middle District a while ago."

Sheilia Ciest: "Thinking about it, not many lower district families particularly like nobles enough to converse like that to learn cool new words."

Ian Maliago: "But even the common rich still do that, Unless you're not counting the tons of ass-kissing ones. "

Aisellia Rae: "Hmm? I guess it would make sense, I have no problem with them seeing how business usually takes me to the middle district so I'm normally talking to one person or another. Plus I have a friend who stays in the middle so I'm usually updated at some point."

She said, placing a finger to her lips as she thought about her friend Laura.

The Next Day: Inside the cart…

Dan Aifried: "Ho-ho one day Aisellia Rae, one day I hope to make you reconsider my proposal."

Ian Maliago: "Ok I'm curious, proposal of what?"

Dan smirked confidently as Aisellia's face turned sour.

Aisellia Rae: "It's exactly as it sounds sadly…"

Cana Sigfried: "…Is it bad that it's that obvious the only reason this infamous perv wants to marry you?"

Aisellia Rae: "It's bad all around really…He's followed me around trying to peep and creep on me since we were teens."

Sheilia Ciest: "I hear he's always at brothels or in strange areas picking up drunk girls."

Dan Aifried: "Don't start rumors about me!"

Aisellia Rae: "Oh? Have you heard of the word going around about Dan?"

Dan Aifried: "Hey!"

Sheilia Ciest: "Yay we're starting a rumor!"

Knowing they were joking, Dan gave up trying to fight their teasing and sat with his head hung low, the girls however and even the silent noble male joined in for the group laughter, unable to hide the humor he found in the joke. Ian chuckled, but looked uneasy, commenting to himself while the other laughed

Ian Maliago: (I think it'll be better if they didn't know that's what he's really always up to, without the brothels. He's always aggressively flirting with gullible or vulnerable girls. Waving his money and status to get what he wants from them.)

Dan Aifried: "I'm sorry no one's around to hear this lie. Only half a day until we arrive."

Priest: "Speaking of which, in a little while we'll be entering another nation so the climate will be changing, so we'll be stopping shortly ahead so that you all may change clothes for the weather."

Dan Aifried: "Change?!"

Ian Maliago: "Don't tell me you didn't bring anything to adjust to the heat?"

Dan Aifried: "…"

Aisellia Rae: "Wow, I think I might actually feel bad for him if he doesn't get the heat stroke he probably deserves."

Dan raised his head hearing the words that brought a smile to his face yet as he looked at Aisellia she had a devilish large grin, the thought of it bring her a deep dark joy if he did suffer from a heat stroke.

"The Sandora area is a region of high heat waves, it even has a massive desert the spans across the bottom border of the country. It's different from our people in Fio which has spring seasons half of the year. So you just might actually die from a heat stroke."

Aisellia had explained to the group the natural climate of their destination.Dan frowned and lowered his head again as the rest of them awkwardly laughed, caught off guard by her grin. With them all realizing that she had a deep dislike of Dan. The carts stopped, the priest noting they were stopping in the small town to change at their Inn, letting them know he had sent someone ahead to make the preparations.

A few minutes later…

The three male Nobles would be in a changing room, Dan leaning against a wall visibly upset. The other two already putting on new pants, they went through the assortments of their large travel cases.

"At least you could take off that huge fur cloak, it's not like this was supposed to be a high maintenance social like in the city." Ian stated, looking at Dan resting his back against a wall next to the doorway, still dawning his all white attire and cloak.

"Greeting the helpless village as one of the four royal children demands presence, how else would their savior look other than perfect?"

(You…are something else. But it's not like he's the only one. Money and power goes to almost every nobles head.)

"Hm? Lord Raizo, correct?"

Dan question out loud, earning the attention of the male who had been silent for the trip so far. Somewhat surprised to hear his name he looked curiously at Dan.

"We're all on this trip together so if it's easier to call Shin, it's alright."

"Alright Shin Raizo it is. Question, what gave you that scar?"

"That's not the type of question you just ask somebody Dan" Ian interjected into their conversation to point out Dan's obvious rudeness.

"It's alright actually, he's not the first to ask."

"It's also weird because outside of your clothes your oddly buff, the scar goes from your shoulder to your back. I don't think many would get to see it. Almost like you intentionally hide it but everyone must wear clothes so that assumption fails."

With Dan's mention Ian looked, seeing the scar on Shin Raizo's back he had failed to notice prior. To Dan it looked odd because it surprised him yet Ian could tell

(He's toned like an athlete or a warrior. Maybe the scar was an accident.) Ian noted mentally as he looked over the body and scar of the youngest male in the room.

Dan Aifried: "When I got father's council to group us for this trip, all of our names are from noble families so that includes yours but-"

Shin Raizo: "But you've never seen me or my family at any socials or events? In truth my family adopted me. A noble woman and a Great Priest took mercy on a child is all my story is."

Ian Maliago: "Makes sense then, those who work for the Temple and Rise to the greater ranks are treated almost as equally as Nobles…With you being the exception Dan."

Dan Aifried: "Then it only makes me want to ask even more based on other thoughts I've had and a few rumors. Shin, did you get that scar from a demon?"

Ian Maliago: "Dan, what noble ever leaves-?"

Shin Raizo: "Hm, it was simply an accident long ago."

Shin said as he finished putting on his shirt and left the changing room. Ian standing shirtless stood in slight shock.

"Do you think he was for real?" Ian questioned the Aifried noble.

"Probably but he didn't exactly say no either. I had to ask for myself though."

"Why is that?"

Dan raised his hand to his chin in thought, letting a silence fill the room for a few seconds before he spoke once again to answer Ian.

"Ian…Let's just say I dug a little deeper than I should have back in the city. I just have some questions now Shin probably can't answer. I may just have to have a chat with the Priest."

Dan said ominously as he walked out of the dressing room. Ian silently watched him leave, visibly confused by Dan's last statement.

In The women's dressing room…

Sheilia would be seen visibly pleased with herself, twirling in her newly changed outfit.

"I like fancy dresses but they're way too much fabric, takes up all the moving space if you ask me."

Sheilia said, having switched from her formal dress to a sleeveless mid-driff top attire accompanied with a skirt, t.h.i.g.h-highs, and a hat.

"I looks cute! I'll be making one hell of an impression as a cute Noble girl."

She announced, striking small pose but suddenly her expression shifted being one of shock as she seen Cana pulling up her shorts, watching her c.h.e.s.t bounce in her bra when she stood up bouncing on her heels to snug them on nicely. Cana wore a thin short sleeved shirt under what appeared to be something similar to a elegant casino dealer's vest. Sheilia's expression became sour with envy as she watched her friend bounce up and down to wiggle her shorts to a button over the slightly longer thin black bodysuit material she wore underneath the clothing on her lower body. Subconsciously Sheilia couldn't help but to place her hands over her own c.h.e.s.t in envy. Cana fitted on her elegant shirt and vest leaving her stomach exposed like Sheilia yet her top left her cleavage partially exposed in it's glory. Noticing her friend looking from the side, Cana turned to face her friend with a playfully smug smile.

"…Flat is justice…" Sheilia said while glaring at her friend Cana who held a smug smile on her face.

Cana Sigfried: "Hills are truth…"

The two held their expressions, their focus on each other breaking hearing Aisellia giggle and speak.

Cana & Sheilia: (I forgot she was here for a minute.)

"You two must be really good friends, you remind me of me and my friend Laura a little."

Aisellia said, her voice traveling to the other side of the dressing area where the other girls stood by each other. Cana and Sheilia turned their heads to look at Aisellia undressing, pulling her shirt over her head. Seeing her c.h.e.s.t lift with her shirt, the two girls were in shock, both being drawn back once Aisellia removed her shirt, seeing her large c.h.e.s.t drop back down and rested naturally in her lace bra.

"She has mounds of life!" both Cana and sheilia quickly exclaimed, their eyes locked onto Aisellia who still underwent an outfit change. Aisellia now having her shirt in her hand she noticed the two looking at her with jealousy. She looked confused at the two who now both held their hands on their own c.h.e.s.ts.

"Sheilia THAT'S what unfair really looks like..." Cana proclaimed as she and Sheilia looked over Aisellia voluptuous figure and assets.

"Do you have to look so strongly? If it wasn't for Laura always finding some way to mess with me I'd be a little more embarrassed than I am now."

Aisellia said playfully smiling, placing her fingers between her h.i.p.s and the waistline of her pants, seeing Cana's eyes move down to her waist.

"Oh? You're curious too Cana?"

Aisellia said teasingly before sliding down her pants leading the two noble girls to become dizzy from surprise.

"Soft t.h.i.g.hs and a supple booty! It jiggles for no reason!"

The two noble girls simultaneously said. While the two regained themselves, Aisellia finished getting dress, wearing an elegant top At her waist she adorned a matching short skirt, the body stocking stopping at her upper t.h.i.g.hs, giving her the appearance of shorts under her skirt., a large amount of her cleavage visible through the cut-out opening leaving her cleavage visible, her b.r.e.a.s.t seeming to push against the fabric helping keep them contained and in place.

"Damn Aisellia, how can you hide all that in clothes? When we get back to the city we're hanging out…I have eat what you eat or however you get a body like that!"

Cana said enviously before the girls shared a laughed, sealing up their travel cases and finished the final touches and adjustments on their outfit.

"That's fine with me, I mostly eat meaty dishes in the middle district but I think my daily exercise evens it out. I have a friend that works at a family restaurant. Noble places just have expensive tiny dishes so I only eat at those places if I have to."

A look of determination came over Cana and Sheilia simultaneously.

"Get ready Sheilia, we're gonna start seeing the middle class area and eating poor people food!"

"Ready! We'll fill out more like her!"

The two said looking at Aisellia's body, both simultaneously nodding in agreement with each other. Aisellia giggled at the two.

"Well…they're not poor exactly" Aisellia humbly noted to Cana.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!"

Aisellia Rae: "It's ok, I knew what you meant. I can tell you two aren't like the other 90% of Noble girls. Our city is massive and the financial difference between High, middle, and low class respectively is exponential."

Sheilia Ciest: "It's one of the reasons me and Cana wanted to go on this expedition, not just to broaden our horizons as noble women."

Cana Sigfried: "But to also to see the world how it really is, most noble's like you said, just gets stuck in their stuck up world. Nobles stay in the highlands and live lavishly, with the guarded blockades blocking districts from one another, nobles don't really ever leave there. They just hire someone to go outside of the district for them. Some things work out though. Sheilia and I have been friends since we were little girls. Our families have always been close."

Aisellia Rae: "It's sad but true. Nobody, even the middle class never leave the city and those in the low quarters…"

Sheilia Ciest: "Simply can't…"

Aisellia Rae: "Sheilia?"

Sheilia Ciest: "I might be the princess type stuck in a tower everyday but I've done my own research into the city. With Cana's help of course."

Aisellia Rae: "Then it's settled, since I work for my parents, my business pass can get all three of us past the district gate. I'll show you two a few nice things. Some things aren't as bad as the nobles make it seem, even with their struggles they are more lively people than most nobles. And of course we can eat at a few places."

She said winking her eye, leading Cana and Sheilia both to smile at each other before running over to Aisellia, each taking a hand of hers

Cana Sigfried: "From this day we're all in it together!"

A few minutes later…

The male nobles and the priest could be seen standing next to the cart they rode in, the line of cargo in an orderly fashion. The three girls stepped from the building and walked up to the group. The male's heads turned, only for the priest to quickly turn away with a blushed face.

"I'll be riding in the front cart today to be at of the head of the arrival, It's far more pleasing to be greeted immediately by an ambassador of the capital."

He said while hastily walking away towards the front horse-drawn cart..

"Did even the Priest just get turned on? I guess we are just a bit overloading for a man of the cloth."

The girls said. Giggling over the matter and the fact they were thinking the same thing, they confidently returned their eyes to the male nobles who stood faces flushed red and their jaws dropped. Shin snapped back to reality, catching his own self and simply hopping into the back of the cart. Ian and Dan however stood stuck, unaware at how hard they were exactly staring but the girls smiled in confidence together.

"Ok guys your few seconds of free gawking are up!"

Hearing Cana;s declaration, the two snapped out of their trance like state, fixing their posture, Ian and Dan raised their hands to their mouth and awkwardly coughed, but as much Ian's body wanted to, his eyes glued to Cana's cleavage, Dan's were locked on Aisellia's. Noticing this Aisellia folded her arms under her b.r.e.a.s.ts and turned slightly away from the boys, having Dan's jaw drop again and earn Ian's gaze as well.

"Dan, pick up your jaw and stop now. You don't get any seconds." Aisellia demanded of him.

"It's hard not to when you're dressed like that."

"All those fancy dresses get stuffy. Even though they look extravagant they're kind of uncomfortable" Cana interrupted slightly irritated by Dan's comment before Aisellia took the lead in calling him on it.

"Don't be such a bigot Dan. Our skin have to breathe. Clothes tend to be suffocating, tight or outright uncomfortable. It's a terrible idea to go into an incredibly hot area and there's no room for vent your body heat."

"Yeah, are you two such kids that you're offended by a woman's natural body?"

Cana, said, leaning forward purposely to lure Ian into peeking down her shirt of which she smirked mischievously catching him unable to avoid looking before quickly shifting his eyes, knowing she was watching his face. Aisellia, holding her arms under her b.r.e.a.s.ts began walking towards the cart, her outfit's c.h.e.s.t cutout leaving her c.h.e.s.t still visible through the opening.

"I think they are Cana." Aisellia began in supporting Cana's train of thought and continuing the notion.

"Nothing wrong with the appeal of a woman's body. If you got it it's ok in my opinion to show a little or a lot, whatever a girl can be comfortable with on the inside in my opinion."

"Hee-hee, I believe so too Aisellia!" Cana agreed before following her new friend into the cart, followed by the guys. Sheilia however stood, her face riddled with envious rage, her hands being placed on her c.h.e.s.t, glaring as they made their way to the back into their cart.

"…Flat is justice"

A short time later…

Shin was sitting up front with the driver, taking the priests place. Ian sat, his eyes attempting to look at any direction other than Cana who sat across from of him. It looked painful, attempting to keep his eyes from straying, but she sat speaking to Sheilia. At his breaking point, he assured himself a quick glance would be fine. His eyes slowly shifted, his eyes widening at the sight before him. Now across the border into the new country, the dirt road they traveled on being bumpier than the stone streets they were used to. The moment his eyes looked at her cleavage his eyes caught sight of her b.r.e.a.s.ts bouncing with the road, seeming each time to almost spill out of her clothes.

"Hm? Ian, are you stuck again?" Cana questioned teasingly, Ian's eyes shot up to meet with hers, realizing he was caught and quickly turned his head. "I uuuh" Ian responded attempting to look away but ended up viewing Aisellia's c.h.e.s.t as well who had a cold glare on Dan, watching him to ensure his eyes were elsewhere of which he seemed frozen stiff to make sure his eyes were held away. Aisellia began noticing Ian's gaze, slowly turning her head, giggling to herself.

"Just try to ease up a little Ian. It's not like we blame you. We're aware of our figures and how they look in these outfits, honestly it's part of the reason we like these outfits. Nothing wrong with liking what you see as long as you're not rude or creepy about it. Just a girl tip for you."

Aisellia and Cana shared a playful laugh at the expense of the males.

Cana Sigfried: "You are man who just sees what he likes. Women aren't as stupid as to wear things like this and not expect some glances…well some are. As long as you're not rude, glance or two isn't bad or anything but that's totally up to the girl you're dealing with."

Aisellia Rae: "Quite frankly I think it would be odd if you weren't struggling to keep your eyes off them as you were."

"For the sake of my healthiness as a man I must also-!" Dan exclaimed, feeling he would get away with it as Ian did, aiming to turn his head and fully gaze upon the women's bodies but his face was stopped by a single finger of Aisellia's, stopping his head from turning fully.

"Eyes stay outside the cart creep…" Aisellia sternly said. This move caught the other nobles by surprise, Dan fearfully following her command was even more of a surprise. But he growled underneath his breath.

(Stupid bitch…How dare she touch me after being so entitled. I'm still royalty and the most important envoy on this trip. An Aifried gets what he wants one way or another Aisellia.
