The next day, I woke up bright and early again to meet with the Eieren Family member who would be showing me to my potential new house. Lin had wanted to come along, but for very obvious reasons, I told her she couldn’t.

“I believe you will like this house,” the young man from the other day said as he led me to what might become my new residence. “It has everything you asked for the previous day, plus a little extra.”

“So long as it’s livable and has a lot of space, anything will do,” I mumbled.

There were quite a few people on the street that day. A group of kids were running between the adults as they played a game of tag, some older people were chatting as they sat around and played hnefatafl at nearby tables, and a couple of low-class workers were lugging around a variety of goods. It seemed everyone was up and about at this time of day.

We were in the northern section of Nevaria, which was consequently very close to where the Nadine Library was located. This section of the city was marked primarily by educational facilities where the children of lower-class citizens were taught. There were a couple of schools that taught language, math, and a few other basic academic courses. They were larger than the average building. Each one was about three stories in height, longer than they were wide, and marked by many windows without glass. While they weren’t the most luxurious buildings around, Empress Hilda had at least made sure they were sturdy and functional.

These school buildings were also the reason Ms. Nadine had set up her library in this section.

“Here we are,” the young man said with a smile.

He and I had stopped in front of a house that was sectioned off by a small fence. Compared to some of the buildings located in this area, it did not appear like much at first, but while the building only consisted of one story, it was clearly of a higher quality than the buildings surrounding it. Unlike most of the buildings in this part of the city, which were all made of wood and brick, this one was made of limestone, a material that was more often used by nobles.

“This home once belonged to a successful merchant,” the young man said. “It had been built by him for his mistress to live in. Sadly, his mistress passed away during childbirth, so he sold the house to us. I don’t think he wanted to retain something that reminded him of her.”

I nodded as I listened to the story. “Can I take a look inside?”

“Of course.”

The man used a thick key to unlock the gate. I followed him up to the house, where he used a different key to unlock the front door, which led into a small entrance hall. I studied the hall for a second before nodding. It was several dozen meters long from the entrance to a door at the opposite end, and wide enough that Lin would have no trouble fitting through it.
