Chapter 225: Shopping Like It’s Free (It’s Not)

Edmund leaned in close and whispered, "But you’re safe. I’ve got you."

Primrose let out a long sigh, leaning back into him with a dramatic slump. "You better. Because if I die, I will haunt you and Dante forever!"

Right on cue, the horse neighed loudly, almost like he understood.

Primrose narrowed her eyes. "Don’t tempt me, horse."

Next time, she told herself, she was taking a carriage.

Or better yet, maybe it was time to ask Edmund to teach her how to ride properly, so she could ride a smaller, friendlier horse.

Eventually, they reached flatter ground, and Dante slowed to a calm, steady pace.

Edmund pulled gently on the reins, bringing the horse to a stop under the shade of some tall trees just outside the city.

"We’ll walk the rest of the way," he said as he slid down from the saddle.

Then he turned and reached up for her. She placed her hands in his, and he helped her down carefully.

The moment her feet touched solid ground, Primrose let out a long, relieved sigh.

"Finally," she mumbled, placing a hand over her chest like she’d just survived a war. "I can feel the ground again."

On the other side, Edmund patted the horse a few times before tying him to the nearest tree. "Stay here, alright?"

But Dante didn’t seem to care at all because his attention had already shifted to the lush green patch of grass beneath his hooves.

The moment his mouth touched the ground, he started munching like it was his last meal on earth.

Primrose stared in disbelief as the once-thick grass rapidly disappeared, thinning out as if the poor thing hadn’t eaten in days.

Within minutes, the area around Dante looked almost bald.

How can a horse be this greedy?!

"Let’s head to the capital," Edmund said gently, taking her hand and guiding her away from the crime scene that used to be grass.

Primrose didn’t say anything. She just followed quietly, letting her husband lead the way.

They began walking side by side. The trees slowly thinned out, and the edges of the capital came into view ahead of them.

The cobblestone streets glinted softly under the sun, and the distant sound of chatter, footsteps, and the rumble of cartwheels started to fill the air. freёwebnoѵel.com

Even before entering the city, Primrose could already smell the warm scent of baked bread, roasted nuts, and fresh flowers drifting on the breeze.

"Nuts?" she murmured, almost to herself. "Why does it smell like roasted nuts everywhere?"

Edmund replied, "Because there really are that many nut vendors here. Most beasts aren’t too fond of sweets, but we love roasted nuts as snacks."

As soon as they stepped into the capital’s main district, Primrose saw exactly what he meant.

Nut vendors were everywhere. They were lining the streets with wide grins, waving, and shouting cheerfully to passersby.

Some of them didn’t hesitate to call out to her directly. "Miss! You’ve got to try these roasted nuts! They’re the best in the capital!"

Since there were so many beast travelers passing through, nobody recognized them.

To everyone else, Edmund and Primrose just looked like a young couple exploring the city.

Thanks to Edmund’s adjusted height, he didn’t draw attention anymore because most of the beastfolk here were at least 1.80 meters tall, so he blended in perfectly.

But Primrose wasn’t quite so lucky.

She was far too easy to lose in the crowd because she wasn’t tall enough.

The moment Edmund let go of her hand just for a second, she disappeared into a sea of unfamiliar faces and towering bodies.
