First Day in Fantasy Land

Now Calista or in this country known as Xavia entered the house which was quite spacious and large.

She looked around because many things caught her eye.

"Sir. Mrs. We're home." Say Vamery

There was a rustling sound from upstairs. It surprised her when two adults of the opposite gender hugged him tightly. He looked confusedly at the Vamery. But Vamery smiled, then bowed his head and left.

"Vamery." Call him slowly.

"Vamery is back." Call him again.

But Vamery didn't hear his call.

After being hugged tightly, the two adults smiled with tears running down their cheeks.

"Mommy and Daddy are glad you're still alive." Say that woman.

Mommy?

Mommy?!

Calista's eyes widened at the woman's words. Seriously! The woman in front of him was more suitable to be called sister than Mommy. The woman's face is very young. Maybe if Calista guessed, she might be around 20-23 years old.

"Yes. I'm glad you're back." Said the man.

Daddy?!

Is Xavia's mother married to a widower with one child? Because the man looks old. Maybe the same age as her father.

It confused Calista thinking about it. How can a young woman marry a grown man?

"Xavia? Are you all right, honey?" Ask the woman, worried.

"Y-yes, Mom. Xavia is fine. Xavia is just tired." She replied.

"Then you rest there, clean yourself up and go to sleep. Tomorrow, your teacher will come in the morning." Says Xavia's mother.

Just as Calista wanted to climb the stairs, her steps stopped when she heard the horror words the woman said at the end of her sentence.

"T-teacher?" the question

"Yes. Teacher Aleister will come earlier than scheduled. He said he had to accompany his wife to meet Xhioni Ramond for a pregnancy check." Says his mother.

"O-okay," she said and then resumed his footsteps again towards his room

I took Calista back when she saw the whole room belonging to Xavia. The wall color is rose gold, and the white roof ceiling with lots of classic interiors on display makes Calista amazed. Even the whole room gave off a calming lavender scent.

"I think I'd like to stay here." She said softly, then smiled and ran towards Xavia's king-size bed.

After feeling enough to sleep, Calista immediately walked toward one of the gold-colored doors, which she believed was her bathroom.

But Calista was confused because she couldn't open the door.

"How do you open the door? There's not even a door handle!" Grumpy, annoyed.

"Of course. Because the door is automatic." Said the voice behind him.

It surprised Calista to hear that, then turned around. She found Vamery behind his body.

"Since when did you come in?! Didn't I lock the room?!" she asked surprised

"Using a spare key, of course," Vamery replied, then stepped forward.

"Open the door." Say it.

Then, miraculously, the door opened.

Calista's mouth just mumbled the word 'woah' over and over.

"Please, miss, come in. I will prepare my lady's clothes." Say Vamery again.

"Thank you." She said, then walked to the bathroom to clean himself.

Although at first he was confused about how to take a shower because the bathroom here was not like in his world. But because she remembered Vamery's words just now, she finally understood how it worked. So fabulous. If only in his world there were things like this, maybe human life would be even easier.

After bathing, Calista immediately put on the clothes that had been prepared by Vamery.

Now he was on the balcony of the room together with Vamery.

"Vamery."

"Yes?"

"What is Xhioni?"

"That is a call to people who are experts in medicine. In other countries called healers. But here it is called Xhioni."

"How many nations are there here?"

"Almost 123 countries and all of them have good relations with this country."

"Is that true? Then there are the countries?"

"Very far. Even getting to Angellice Kingdom requires passing two stars."

"Two stars?"

"Hmm. Can you see that star shining brightly in the sky?"

Calista looked in the direction Vamery was pointing. It is a small star that shines the brightest of all the stars. Even the light looked like it was bright gold. Unlike other stars, whose light is bright white.

"Yes. Then?"

"It was the first star."

"You mean we have to go to that star to get to the second star?"

"Right. If the first star is bright gold, then the second star is bright green."

"How do we get to that star?"

"Magic or magic candy."

"Oh, the blue candy?"

"Right. Blue candy or blue candy can make us teleport directly to the first star or directly to the second star. Then when we arrive in front of the second-star portal, we will use pink candy or pink candy to enter the second-star portal. Then we will get to Angellica Kingdom."

"If you use magic, is it like that too?"

"Not. If we use magic, it will take fifteen days to get to the first star and twenty-five days to get to the second star."

"Awesome."

"Why do you ask? Miss want to go?"

"Not. I'm just... yeah... curious? Possible."

"Curious?"

"Never mind, forget it. Then why are all the houses here silver and then gold inside?"

"Because that's the rule."

"Only that?"

"Yes. The previous king asked to change the rules a bit."

"What are the rules after and before?"

"I'll explain later. Now miss has to rest. Tomorrow miss has archery practice with teacher Aleister."

Calista immediately snorted at hearing that. He's still curious. If he was still curious, then he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

*****

At 07.35 AM

Now Calista is in her front yard with a sullen face. Because it's too early to wake up. Even the sun had not yet appeared.

Calista yawned several times because she was still sleepy.

"Excuse me, Miss Xavia." Say someone from behind

Calista turned and saw a very handsome young man. His handsome face, firm jaw, and sharp eyes made Calista stunned by the charm of Xavia's teacher.

"He said he had to accompany his wife to meet with Xhioni Ramond for a pregnancy check."

Remembering Xavia's mother's words last night made Calista immediately lethargic. Too bad, the handsome teacher already has a wife. But can he snatch it from his wife? What is the punishment for women who steal other people's husbands in this country? Maybe that's what Calista's crazy thoughts are right now.

"Can we get started?"

"Of course."

Calista practiced archery, which she had already learned in the past. But here he was, just pretending he couldn't just get the attention of his handsome teacher.

She studied archery for approximately two hours.

"You have already experienced the appointment since yesterday. Keep it up. Tomorrow we will practice riding at our usual hour."

"Typical hours?"

"You forgot?"

"M… maybe."

"Tomorrow we have horse practice at four in the afternoon."

"Okay!"

"I've always liked your spirit. Keep it up. I'm sure one day you will."

Calista just smiled at the compliment.

"Then I'll excuse myself. I have to go take my wife for a pregnancy check."

"Yes. I hope your baby is always healthy."

"Thank you, Miss."

Calista was silent at the smile Aleister's teacher gave him. That smile is so beautiful. Should he now be the usurper of someone's husband?

After teacher Aleister's departure, Vamery came.

"Let's go for a walk." Invite Vamery

"Come on! I was going to eat at the diner yesterday." She replied.

"Okay. Come on," said Vamery

Then they were allowed to go out for a walk.

Vamery takes Calista to many very interesting places. Even Vamery introduced him to the people here who apparently knew him and congratulated him on his safety.

Calista was confused about what happened to Xavia? Why are so many people congratulating? Happy what?

"Looks like we can't eat here, miss." Say Vamery

"Can not! I want to eat subu again!" Forced.

"It seems that Miss likes subu huh?" Ask Vamery

"It's not like that, it's just that the sub is really good," he replied

"Okay. We'll just pack it up then." Say Vamery

"That's better," he replied

Then they went inside to order food and drinks. One large pack of Subu was worth 2 gold coins, then one cold, the flavored drink was worth 1 gold coin. So the total they paid was four gold coins. After they received the order, they immediately looked for a place to eat.

"Cheap too, yes." Say it

"Yes. But these coins if brought to the human world might be worth hundreds of dollars," said Vamery

Calista, who was eating, immediately choked on the noodle soup when she heard it. Vamery helped his lady to drink.

Seriously! One small coin is worth hundreds of dollars!

Come to think of it, the total they paid for earlier was 4 gold coins. That means there are four hundred dollars, and four hundred dollars there are 5-6 million. So these noodles and drinks that look like drink water cost millions here? Woah... this is so hard to believe logically.

"Miss! Miss Xavia!"

"Uh huh?"

"Miss is fine, right?"

"Yes. I'm fine. I was just surprised earlier."

"What made the lady surprised?"

"Not. There isn't any."

"Then hurry up. After this, I want to take Miss to the sinking market."

"The market is sinking?"

"Yes."

"What market is that?"

"Anyway, Miss, just finish the food, Miss. I'm just going to ask the lady to go there. I'm sure you will like it."

"Okay."

Calista chose to continue eating with a confused feeling about the sinking market.
