Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 256 - 256 - Negotiations at Zanahavre (Part 3)

Nasturtium, guardian of the Prosperity Trading Area

I never thought that there will come a day that I would fall this low. I was busy evacuating the people from the trading area after hearing news from the two guards of the sanctuary that an intruder has unfortunately broken into our home.

I was about to leave the trading area after confirming that nobody else was left behind when I felt a strong surge of unknown mana enter the area. Damn! I admit I got scared and in my panic, I transformed myself into the likeness of a 5-year old human girl that I spontaneously named Lily.

I smiled at her and responded, "I did not see anybody attacking though? You aren't alone since I am here right?" Her cries turned into small sobs as she calmed down gradually. She ran towards me and clung to my dress.

I rubbed her head a bit and then asked, "This is my first time shopping here. Can you teach me how people pay for things they buy in this market?" She looked up at me with innocent and round eyes and said, "Oh. You are a visitor from the outside. Wait! I'll show you."

Lily ran back inside the store where she was hiding in a while ago. What followed were sounds of things crashing and falling to the ground as she
