Arya only thought that Naruto was a bumpkin from the countryside, so she smiled and said.
"So you've decided."
Without any scruples, she grabbed Naruto's hand and took him to the carriage.
The carriage could barely fit two people. As soon as Naruto got in, he and Arya bumped shoulder to shoulder. The atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, but Naruto didn't seem to mind at all. He had a lazy expression on his face.
Looking at the country bumpkin next to her who couldn't even see her cute smile, Arya was a bit annoyed.
Along the way, Arya used her sweet voice to ask about Naruto's background and information.
She turned her head and looked into Naruto's eyes.
"Where are you from? What are you doing in the capital? Is there something urgent?"
Naruto smiled and made up a story.
"In a small village in the south. There's a plague in our village. In order to find a cure and money, I came to the capital to ask around."
Arya didn't doubt that Naruto was talking to her. In her eyes, Naruto was already a piece of meat on a chopping block. She looked at his handsome face and laughed in her heart. She was thinking about whether to cut off Naruto's hand or cut off his face.
In the Imperial Capital, no one would care about the life and death of these outsiders. Even if hundreds of them died, no one would care about how they died. For rich people like them, they could just casually bribe them with money and death would be as simple as killing a mouse.
Naruto acted like a person who came from a small village. He looked around and sighed at the prosperity of the capital.
The carriage arrived after half an hour. The castle-like building was brightly lit, illuminating the beautiful garden. The smell of flowers was very strong.
Naruto, who got out of the carriage, showed a surprised expression, whether intentional or unintentional. Rich people are rich. Who knows how many gold coins this villa costs? Ten thousand gold coins, or even a hundred thousand gold coins.
Thinking of 100,000 gold coins, Naruto's eyes sparkled.
The greedy look on his face made Arya even more convinced that Naruto was a country bumpkin. She inadvertently revealed a look of disdain, but on the surface, she put on a sweet smile and grabbed Naruto's hand.
"Naruto, I'll take you to meet my parents. There are a few guests at home. I hope you don't mind."
Naruto, who was still immersed in his dream of gold coins, frowned when he saw Arya grabbing his hand. He pushed her away and said calmly.
"Miss, please have some self-respect. We're all adults. It's not good to touch each other."
Arya's eyebrows twitched. She felt disgusted. She was the young mistress of a noble family. Holding hands with this bumpkin was already giving him face, but he didn't appreciate it. She was already planning to make Naruto kneel in front of her and tell her that he had conquered her.
The black-bellied Arya didn't show the slightest bit of unhappiness on her face. She crossed her arms and leaned forward with a smile.
"Naruto, you're such a shy boy. Hehe."
Arya happily skipped back to her home.
Naruto followed closely behind. When they entered the living room, Naruto sighed again. Rich people were just so rich. From the rare animal head pendant, it was clear that it wasn't something a normal rich person could have. Now that he looked at it, Naruto had almost 2000 gold coins. He was just a poor commoner.
After going around a staircase, Naruto followed Arya into a large room on the left. The family was sitting on a leather sofa next to a warm stove, chatting with a young man and woman.
Naruto's eyes lit up. He ignored Iyas again and walked towards Shao with a smile.
"Little beauty, I didn't expect us to be so fated."
The moment he said that, the two girls were unhappy. The most unhappy of them was Arya. She had been trying to seduce Naruto the whole way here, but he didn't even look at her. Looking at his face now, it was clear that he wasn't interested in her.
Arya's heart was filled with jealousy. She was jealous of the girl called Shao.
Shao turned to look at Naruto with an ugly expression. Her lips were trembling.
"You … You followed me."
Naruto smiled faintly.
"Definitely not this time. It was a complete coincidence. I was also invited here."
Shao looked at Naruto as if she didn't believe him. Her eyes were filled with distrust.
While the two were staring at each other, Arya stepped forward, hugged Naruto's arm, and called out coquettishly.
"Naruto, I didn't expect this girl to be your friend. Let's sit down and talk."
In order to stimulate Shao, who was more charming than her, Arya took out an unprecedented passion. She hugged Naruto's arm and pulled him to sit on the sofa. The two sat next to each other for a long time.
Arya almost sat on Naruto's lap.
Shao didn't know why, but she felt a little stuffy in her heart. She stared at Naruto and frowned.
"Looks like you really aren't following me. So you're interested in another girl. But you have to think about your own status. Someone like you isn't worthy of her."
Arya looked at Shao with a grin.
"Don't worry. No matter who it is, as long as I like them, I'll like them."
His smiling face was so innocent that Sayou was completely fooled by it.
Shao said with a worried expression.
"Miss, I don't think this guy is a good person. He's a hoodlum, a scoundrel. I admit that he's strong, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a hoodlum."
Naruto was a little confused. He was only here to "play". He didn't expect Shao to look down on him so much. He kind of liked this girl. He felt a little depressed.
Arya's smile didn't change. Instead, she hugged Naruto's arm a little tighter.
"I like strong people, even if they're hoodlums."
Shao was speechless. She sighed inwardly. A beautiful flower was about to be insulted.
Arya thought that Sayou's sigh was a victory for her. She smiled like a blooming flower.
