Even when he was heading toward the cafeteria with Dylan, the gold coins were still inside one of his pockets, he never took them out.

And he never made the mistake of telling Dylan he had some gold coins with him.

Now, there were times when students made hurtful remarks about him, and there were even some few stares here and there. But you know what? None of those things affected Ryan at all.

He was too happy for him to be affected by them. And again, the remarks made about him weren't that hurtful, so that was another reason why they didn't affect Ryan or ruin his mood in any way.

"You're very different today".

These were the words that flowed out of Dylan's mouth to Ryan during the time they were in their classroom and a single teacher wasn't in it.

"What do you mean?". Ryan inquired with a kind of perplexed facial expression.

He was feigning confusion, he knew exactly what Dylan was talking about.

"You were gloomy yesterday, but you are so lively today. A complete difference". Dylan's voice resounded again.

A bit of smile appeared on Ryan's face after Dylan said that, then he stated,

"Yeah, a recent happening is what brought about this mood".

That was all he said, he didn't say more than that. According to what Dylan understood from Ryan's statement, a certain occurrence was what lightened up his mood.

He would have loved to know that occurrence, but he didn't want to ask. He'd just leave it this way, it was for the best. Ryan wasn't gloomy anymore, he was so lively today...that was enough to make him happy.

Ryan was heading toward the market right now, he and Dylan had already parted ways after reaching the intersection Dylan was supposed to corner.

As known, he already had in mind the things he wanted to buy once he reaches the market. The gold coins were still safe in one of his pockets, and he was able to accomplish his aim of making sure no one found out about them at school.

And this also included Dylan, he didn't have any idea Ryan was with gold coins...

Ryan kept heading toward the market until he finally reached it. There were more than one main market in this kingdom, this was just one of them.

Arriving at the market, Ryan just stood at a particular spot glancing around. The market was filled up, there were lots of people around. Buying and selling were taking place nonstop.

Almost all the merchants in the market were busy because lots of them had customers patronizing their goods. Some had so many customers patronizing their goods, while some didn't have that many customers patronizing their goods.

..But the truth of the matter was all of them were making money.

After glancing around for a few more seconds, Ryan began walking once again. He knew what he came here to buy, so he was heading toward the places where he could get them.

He'd arrived in front of a certain jewelry store, an expensive one. And according to what he was seeing, this was a perfect place to get expensive bracelets, necklaces, and so on.

So he didn't waste time walking into the store. And upon entering it, he met with the store owner immediately.

He glanced at some of the jewelries in the store, and they were looking so nice. He needed no one to tell him that they were super expensive, and that's exactly what he wanted.

After conversing with the store owner, he began picking the jewelries he wanted. He picked up necklaces, bracelets, rings, and so on...

He picked up both male and female's own, but the female's own were more because the reason why he was purchasing them in the first place was 'cause of Miss Amaya.

He needed to show his mum what he got for himself according to their agreement, that was why he picked up some jewelries for himself.

After he was done picking up the jewelries he wanted, the store owner calculated the cost of everything and relayed it to him. It was just as Ryan expected, they were so expensive that copper coins wouldn't be able to purchase them. Enjoy new adventures at empire

They could only be bought with gold coins, and Ryan came fully prepared...

He handed the number of gold coins needed to cover up the total cost of the jewelries he selected over to the store owner. He handed over to him exactly the total cost he relayed to him.

The store owner calculated the gold coins handed to him and confirmed they were complete. Then he packaged all the jewelries Ryan selected into a certain thick sack bag before handing it over to him.

With a little smile on his face, the store owner said to Ryan while bowing his head a little,

"Thanks for patronizing me".

Ryan didn't say anything, he only bowed his head a little as well. Then he walked out of the store, and after walking out of it, he muttered to himself,

"I've purchased jewelries, that have been handled. I need to purchase other extremely expensive things before leaving this market".

And after muttering that to himself, he began walking as he was walking past people and people were walking past him.

Ryan got to purchase other expensive things in the market, which required him to visit other stores. He purchased robes, shoes, and so on.

Some of the things he purchased consisted of both male and female's own...but as expected, the female's own were more. And right now, Ryan was done purchasing things.

His hands were filled up with the bags of the things he purchased, and everything combined were somehow heavy. As he was walking out of the market, he noticed a few people staring at him 'cause of the many bags he was carrying.

'He must have purchased a lot'.

These were most likely the thoughts running through the minds of the people staring at him.

Ryan had finished walking out of the market by now, and he knew he wouldn't be able to trek home with all these bags with him. It wouldn't be an easy journey at all if he tries it.

So he planned on making use of the service of those horse riders that do ride people to their different destinations. So as he was walking, he was glancing around to see if he'd sight any of them.

'Let me simply just head toward one of their bases where I'd be able to see many of them and make use of one of their services'. Ryan thought to himself.

..It was a nice idea, and he planned on implementing it immediately.

He began heading toward one of their bases with the bags of goods in his hands. As he was heading there, the more he was becoming sure he wouldn't be able to trek home with these bags in his hands.

He was so happy he didn't try it, he would have regretted it badly.

He'd arrived at one of their bases, and he could see men sitting comfortably on their horses waiting for customers. They weren't that many because many of them were riding or had ridden different people to their destinations.

Without wasting time, Ryan approached one of the men sitting on top of his horse and told him why he was here. He told the man where he was heading to, and the man told him to hop on.

The man assisted Ryan climb on top of the horse 'cause of the bags he was carrying...mounting it without any assistance wouldn't have been easy at all.

After Ryan had climbed the horse and was sitting comfortably on it, the man put the horse in motion, riding it out of the midst of the other men with horses. And he didn't stop for a second, he kept riding the horse until they arrived in front of Ryan's home.

Ryan came down from the horse with the help of the man after arriving in front of his house. Then he paid the man for his service before he began walking toward his home with the bags in his hands.

As for the man, he'd already ridden off a few seconds ago. Ryan had entered the compound by now and was walking toward the main building.

He'd entered the main building by now and had just arrived in the living room without meeting a single soul there. It wasn't a new thing to him, this wouldn't be the first time it would be happening.

And you know what? He was happy he didn't meet anyone in the living room after arriving in it. The last person he'd want to see right now was his mum.

Yes, he didn't want his mum to see the bags he was carrying for a certain reason. And what was that reason? She'd know he purchased a lot of things from the number of bags he was carrying.

And this would be a big disadvantage to Ryan because she wouldn't believe these were all the things he bought when he shows them to her just as she instructed him to do.

They wouldn't correspond with the number of bags she saw with him...
