Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

"So the members of the Raevender family have the ability to procreate an offspring regardless of gender. I have been so confused why this nation only has queens. That explains why, huh?"

"Yes. My sister is also planning on marrying women just like our mothers. Right, Sister?"

"Yeah."

"I see."

The sun was about to set to the horizon, and we had spent the afternoon tending the tree spirits on their sightseeing around the city. Currently, we were having a chat inside the magic carriage as we were on our way toward our last destination. My sister and I would be the tour guides for our three beautiful guests for the day.

After sealing the pact, the tree spirits agreed to our suggestions on exploring the city while they were still here. I did not know if having the tree spirits see the city for themselves was necessary, but at least they got the opportunity to witness a full view of what a human world looked like once.

Other than the sightseeing, we would also be accommodating them with a place to spend the night in the palace. They said that it was unnecessary because, as spiritual beings, they barely needed rest at all.

But they eventually accepted our offer so that they could have time to talk in private. By the way, the three of them would be using one room since they preferred to stay together.

Even though we told them we would not be disturbing or eavesdropping on them, I still secretly assigned a vision in their room for security purposes. I promised not to peek at them to show respect for our nation's latest allies, but it was not like there was something that I could see. I would just put the footage in my archives.

We originally planned to explore the city by incognito with Big Sis and me putting on some disguise to avoid attention and commotion like we used to do back in the Lavender City.

But we realized that there was no need to do that because, by doing so, we could not have the privilege to access any places we wanted to go. We would be entertaining our special guests, so they should be having to experience our nation's finest services. We would not just dine in and order some fast food.

Today, we had been touring Aesfen, Fyr, and Gron around the city, and we already visited several places. We had gone to the theaters, and we had done shopping and bought some items and souvenirs for the tree spirits.

We also visited the construction of some of the ongoing projects, like the park and the arena. The spirits ladies had the chance to see the train station beyond the Inner Walls of the city. But we did not board the trains today since we had no time to spare.

As expected, the places we had been to became congested due to the presence of the prince and princess of the queendom. The crowd was not paying their attention to me and my sister; they seemed to be paying heed to the presence of the tree spirits, as they basically had never seen those faces before.

They had their own guesses of who they were and what could be their relationship with the royal family. But no one noticed that they were not humans, thankfully. Well, I altered their presences into those of humans, so it was not like the people were not paying attention to their mysteriousness.

From what I could observe so far, our guests seemed to be pleased with the tour. Aesfen was full of culture shocks; Gron was excited to try new things; and even though she was looking unbothered, Fyr also got along with them.

"I think it is time to ask this, but what do you think of our city so far?"

"Well," Aesfen said, and then she peered at the black windows of the carriage. "I think it is quite lively, I suppose? The differences between our world and humans' are exceptional. There are so many things we need to know about humans after all."

"If you say so."

That was her initial impression of the city right now. Just like them, we humans barely had any knowledge about the other side or what kind of life they lived. There might be a big gap between our cultural differences, but it was not wrong to learn one thing or two to understand one another better.

Other than Aesfen, the opinions of Fyr and Gron mattered as well. But we could not probably acquire any answer from them because they were sticking their foreheads to the windows, busy looking for the people and establishments outside.

Gron seemed to be excited about the things she saw outside, such as the foods at the stalls and the entertainment some establishments had been offering. Meanwhile, Fyr had been putting on a poker face since then. I hoped that she was just probably hiding her excitement. But she had been like a big sister to Gron, always mindful of her.

My sister and I chatted with Aesfen for a few more minutes before the carriage showed the signs of pulling over. The carriage eventually came to a stop, and we could feel that the coachman jumped off his seat. The door then opened wide, and our first stop unfolded before our eyes.

"Alright, we are here."

When we all had disembarked the carriage, we glanced at the fancy establishment in front of us. We were currently at the Louisiana branch of my company's restaurant, where we would dine in and have our dinner.

"So what is this place, His Highness Raphael?"

"This is the finest restaurant in the city. It is owned by me and Sophia. We will be having our diner here," I explained before I took a glance at Aesfen. "You said that spirits can eat, yes?"

"Well, yes. Like humans and monsters do, we tree spirits also consumed food for our daily routine, but in smaller proportions as we didn't have a physical body at the time."

"I see. I never asked this before, but do tree spirits consume meat?"

"Hm? Just because we have affinities for plants and trees does not mean that we only eat fruits and crops. We sometimes consume meat from the monsters we exterminated. You can say that monster meat is like fertilizer to us due to its mana residue."

"Is that so? If it's okay then, you would probably like our special Buraq steak."

"It is a pleasure, Your Highness."
