Chapter 683 - The In-Laws Have Arrived 2
Elvira's thoughts were the same as most nobles who came to Baymard for the first time.
It typically took time for them to adjust.
But, change usually happened the more they spent in Baymard.
Firstly, when nobles chose to visit, they could come for 2 to 3 weeks.
And within this time, almost all of them visited the church, since it was one of the must-go areas within Baymard.
Attending these church services was believed to enrich one's soul and give it purpose.
So how could they not go?
The main priests had been blessed by the system to give 'enlightened scriptures' and when this happened, countless people usually cried and vowed to change their ways.
When the gospels or moral stories were being told in the church, many nobles couldn't help but wonder if they were going towards the bad path, like those in those stories.
Again, this changed many people's views about morality.
Additionally, Baymard arranged several aid services too.
So each month, unprivileged, improvised or sick children will be brought back to Baymard.
And during this time, several nobles and peasants had volunteered to help these children during their healing phase.
So the more they spent with these children or less fortunate, the more they felt pity, pain and several waves of emotions moved together.
After surgery, some nobles cried when they saw that the ones they took care of were fine.
It was a life-changing thing for them, and they quickly got used to having peasants around.
.
More still, there were so many plays, shows, movies and books that depicted how humans were to treat others.
There were even plays about people with different skin tones, and how beautiful those skin tones were.
They were thought to love different people, and not look down on or bully these people.
And all this really made a lot of people change their stance.
Of course, one could say that only 70% of the nobles who had undergone everything within Baymard had changed.
As for the other 30%, their eyes were truly filled with greed and envy that these peasants could live better lives than they do.
For these sorts of people, no matter how one explained it to them, it was akin to throwing water on a duck's back.
These people were only looking at benefits and didn't care about human lives at all.
For them, peasants weren't even humans, and that was that.
Nothing anyone said would change their minds.
In Elvira's case, she and her daughters were illiterate, so they had never read any Baymardian books.
But they had heard some storytellers mention things like Cinderella and so on.
In Elvira's mind, Cinderella was a scheming whore who didn't know her place.
How could she go out of her way to seduce the prince knowing fully well that her 2 step-sisters intended to do the same?
And what was even worse was that she snuck out of the house to do so.
Hmph!
She was an unruly sick girl who talked to mice, disobeyed her stepmother and snuck out of the house late at night.
Heavens!
Who knew how many times she had snuck out to God-knows-where before?
Elvira just didn't understand why everyone was praising that schemer.
.
"Darling, is it done?" Elvira asked anxiously.
"No!
They didn't even bother to take the money at all.
They said that if we want to get into Baymard, then we have to wait our turn."
"But didn't you tell them that you were the king's in-law?"
"I did, but they told me to present a doc.u.ment that proved my case."
"How preposterous!
How dare they doubt your identity?"
"Calm down.
They said that his majesty typically gave out some sort of doc.u.ment to his friends and family.
You see, in that V.I.P section, only those who have some sort of friendship or political stance with Baymard can pass through using something called a V.I.P stamp that's placed in their passport.
Also, friends and family of his majesty can also use that as well.
No one knows that we are here.
Even that useless daughter of mine.
So we can only obediently wait our turn and get in.
But once we meet her, then everything will change!
All the perks and benefits will be ours.
And I'll make sure that all those who made us uncomfortable during this time will get fired as well." Gustav said coldly.
He had never been straight up rejected so many times.
They even threatened to call the security over if he didn't get back to his seat immediately.
Apart from the upper-class nobles and his majesty Alec Barn, who had ever treated him like that?
Gustav himself was at the highest pick within the middle-class noble ranks.
And just a bit more effort, and he would finally be able to climb up the ladder and enter the Upper noble class ranks.
So when he noticed these ordinary common folks threatening to send him out with security, how could he not get riled up?
He took several deep breaths and looked at the name tags of all those that made him mad.
Hmph!
When he finally got recognized as Landon's in-law, he swore that he would show them who's boss!
.
Finally, after completing the procedures, the Gustav family quickly got on the bus and went straight towards one of the 4-star hotels within district D.
And along the way, everything they saw made them feel like Arcadina's Capital city was really trash.
Everything was so new to them, and their hearts were constantly filled with excitement.
They thought that they had seen it all, but when they finally got to their hotel rooms... they all stood there speechlessly.
From the telephones to the room fridges, to the lights, flowing water, shower, toilets, T.V, radio and so on.
Everything made them feel like they were dreaming.
Debbie and Praila both clenched their fists in determination.
No matter what, they had to seduce his royal majesty Landon.
This place was just too good for that b**ch sister of theirs.
