Chapter 684 - The Unconvinced Gustav Family

The Gustav family decided to use this day to rest before they began their quest.

So they went to the bank, shopped and also stopped at several entertainment sites for fun.

And the more they saw, the more greed and anger filled their hearts.

Anyone with working eyes could see that Baymard was 10... no!... 100 times better than the so-called Capital that they used to feel arrogant about.

From the people’s clean faces to the breathable air that wasn’t fouled with the stench of waste or poop, to people even having clean hands on the street.

The place was very organized, clean, filled with awe-inspiring buildings and had things that many of them had never heard before.

One should know that while most of the Pyno continent had been trying to make changes, like organizing the streets, getting traffic patrol officers and even something as simple as taking out the trash within the empire... Arcadina didn’t have many changes.

And that was because their ruler was too focused on getting more manpower to seize Baymard.

Alec at the time, decided to first get Baymard and all its secrets before making changes to Arcadina.

So the only change in Arcadina was the emergence of new Baymardian products.

And that was it!

Their government never really made any moves to help the people in terms of Sanitation and orderliness.

Hence, unlike other empires that were currently moving towards the direction of change... Arcadina’s Capital still had the foul stench of poop floating in the air.

People still pooped on the streets and heaps and piles of dirt also gathered around the ghetto areas in the Capital.

Heck!

Even within the noble estates, the pits that stored poop were still open pits, making the smell reach the noblest of places.

Because unlike other empires that got a solution from Baymard, Arcadina’s ruler didn’t bother to ask his unfilial son about what steps to take next.

And so many people on Arcadina were used to contaminated air.

The Gustav family felt like the air quality in Baymard was the best that they had ever taken a whiff of.

No poop smells.

No garbage or rotten food smells along the sides of the road.

And no revolting smells of the dead that were left to rot on the streets and alleyways.

Ahhh..... This place was truly heaven.

.

Again, they liked the fact that communication and Transportation here was easier.

The telephones, trains, buses, cars, TVs and even the fact that things were written down on touristic pamphlets, made their sight-seeing a whole lot easier.

And even though they didn’t know how to read, the images and pictures aided the ladies a lot more.

Of course Gustav and his son who were literate, aided the ladies around too.

And funny enough, even though the ladies wrote illiterate, when it came to shopping, they seemed to be able to cram these brand names off heart.

In short, everything that the Gustav family had seen made them feel unconvinced.

Why the hell did that whore have to enjoy all of this?

The only disadvantage they had against the whore was that she knew how to read.

But that was it!

Of course, even though Lucy’s mother came from a low noble class scholarly family.

So she had always taught Lucy how to read and write.

But on the other hand, Elvira who came from a middle-class nobility... didn’t feel the need to teach her daughters how to read.

She was more focused on making sure that they knew how to play musical instruments, sew and so on.

In short, she focused more on teaching them about all tricks needed for hooking onto a bigger sponsor.

For her, all a woman needed to do was to seduce a man of higher standing and the rest was history.

After all, Lucy’s mother was literate... but didn’t she fall and finally die in the hands of an illiterate woman such as herself?

Hmph!

What mattered was the end results and not the process!

.

It was now 11 P.M, and the Gustav family had finally returned to their hotel.

From the money they checked into the hotel at 10:43 A.M, they hadn’t returned until now.

The hotel staff quickly dropped their shopping bags in their rooms and before leaving them all alone in the grand family sized-suite.

’Bam!’

"Quick!

Now that they’re gone, let’s look at all the magazines about that good-for-nothing girl." Elvira said hastily.

And very quickly, everyone hurriedly searched the shopping bags for the magazines that they had bought.

And on the front covers of these magazines, one could see Lucy’s confident and kind smile.

There were even some that had her holding Landon’s hand lovingly.

Of course, some of these magazines were Royal family issued ones that showed several pictures of Lucy’s fashionable outfits.

One should know that Lucy had already become a style icon for many people within the Pyno continent.

As in their eyes, she could never do wrong.

For them, even if she wore a trash bag over her head, they would still say that she was reinventing fashion and that only she could pull it off.

"Listen to this!

It says that Queen Lucy has once again touched the hearts of the people.

It says that she went out to some villages around Baymard and aided in wooden house construction for them.

It said that she personally used her hands to aid in building these homes.

And she also spent time teaching the people there about hygiene and whatnot.

Additionally, it’s said that she donated over 100,000 Bays worth of food from her personal income to people in these villages.

Apparently, she has 3 official jobs which give her a hefty yearly income... And that’s excluding the fact that she is a royal and gets a monthly allowance from that too.

She also has some endors.e.m.e.nt deals, which give her even more income.

And she used a great part of this income to do these sort of useless tasks like pay for the medical expenses of some of these malnourished children.

Mom, the whole thing just praises and talks about what she has done within these past 2 months."

"Hmph!

she’s nothing but a money waster.

as expected of someone who lived on the streets."

"Arhhh!

That b**ch!

Just look at the outfit that she’s wearing?

Why does she deserve to wear such fancy clothes?"

"How dare this tramp seduce my husband?" Praila added when she saw a picture of Lucy leaning on Landon.

"Your husband?

Sister, I advise you to back off!

He’s mine!" Debbie roared.

"Girls! Girls! Girls!

Please!

Where are your manners?

He will belong to whoever catches his eyes.

Now, let’s focus on how we will meet that good-for-nothing." Elvira said.

"Hmhm... your mother is right!

Tomorrow, I’ll send in a request for a meeting with her.

There’s no other way about it.

If we want to see her, then we must send in a request first.

So all we have to do now is arrange a meeting with her, and the rest will be history.

Soon, we will be recognized as royals!"
