Chapter 5: Coven Boleyn

River Market was always noisy and bustling regardless of day and night. In addition to big old stores that had been famous for hundreds of years, this market had sidewalk shops selling everything, lock, stock, and barrel. The price depends on the bargain of customers and the quality of goods.

The two brothers walked along the rows of shops seemingly endless, breathing deeply into their lungs the magical fragrance that hung in the air.

Under their feet were spices, herbs, and magical plants with uses ranging from fun to silly (to be honest, who would buy a pot of vine licorice that tended to strangle master in the night for a thrill?). Moreover, with the herb garden of the Noldorasga family and the countless books that Eden had inherited, he was more than able to realize that more than half of the herbs were a hoax. Eden usually only paid for herbs that he could not grow (which was quite rare).

For example, a few years ago, there was a time when he almost got his head pulled by Balan because he hugged home a beautiful pot of wisteria bonsai that changed color so beautifully. That tree had a sweet and fresh scent that made people feel comfortable so much so tearful. Eden had to hug the leg of Balan and cry bitterly not to let him return that plant. This fool accepted to eat vegetables for a whole month because until now, he still did not dare to tell his brother how much money he spent that year to get the wisteria tree. But it had to be said that it was valuable to eat vegetables until the face changed green. After his garden had this plant, Stick Snails and Devil Centipedes did not bother him. You should know that destructive insects could destroy the whole world. They made all garden masters crazy!

In the distance was a crowd huddled around the cauldron store For All Potion. Eden wanted to step in to get a new cauldron instead of the one that started whistling like the wind at home: “Balan, do you think I should buy a black stone cauldron? People say it does not affect the potion as much as the wooden cauldron, the ebony one in my house…” 

But as soon as seeing the silver B with glittering diamonds inlaid on the wands and scepter in the hands of the others, Eden quickly stopped and hid behind a stall displaying piles of love charms, black candles, transparent crystal fortune-telling balls, etc.

Balan did not understand: "What's wrong?" While still clinging to his brother, the dragon-blood wood bracelet on his wrist became blazing red and transparent in the moonlight.

Eden patted his brother on the shoulder, soothing as he watched Balan begin to enter a state of alert. He nodded at the people still peering in front of the cauldron shop: "Boleyn Coven." He had no grudge against witches. In fact, he had no grudge against all races in general, except for the Boleyn.

"Hmm?" Balan glanced back in exchange for a disgruntled squeal from Eden ("Watch out for them to see me!"). Boleyn was an extremely excellent coven, especially in the field of enchantment. Eden broke a love spell belonging to Anna - the sweet daughter of Supreme in Coven Boleyn and the first in this generation to have a wand. Then all of them started to tend to stalk and quarrel with him.

"Have not they stopped yet?" Balan twitched his lips, clearly holding back a laugh.

Balan knew that case, a bullshit story. The kittenish snob witch named Anna Boleyn cast a spell on a male wizard (for fun mainly, apparently). Another sorceress who was in love with this guy noticed something unusual and hired Eden to solve the spell (because of cheap, which was so equally obvious). 

That case could be considered a small explosion in the area of ​​juvenile magical creatures, especially witches and wizards. Coven Boleyn was a prestigious family with a history stretching back several hundred years. Everyone knew how good the Boleyn people were at spells, especially love spells. Her famous eponymous ancestor could even enchant the king of a mighty nation surrounded by all protection of the Church. The love spell of a witch in Coven Boleyn broken was a laughingstock for the other covens. That joke made Anna and her followers lose face so much so wanted to find Eden to compete for the spell.

For a whole month, this poor child was not curled up in "Svartalf Pastries" but also lurking in Swag Items. Fortunately, his brothers also had some respect for Asgaphra, so the Boleyns did not burst into their place, even though they knew Eden was there.

After that, it seemed the adults had laughed enough at the bullshit (Eden always resented having to disarm at least thirty-seven charms - from playful to dangerous - on the way home each day), and everything ended. He certified that it was not the friendly play of children! 

Hisashi Irkalla was tired of not being intimate with his lover because some teenage boy kept haunting his house, so he should have handled this case. Hisashi was the only one Eden thought would get involved anyway. Jin thought he should get regular combat training (haha!), and Balan felt Eden running for his life every day was very funny!

It had been a year since then, but Eden still had no interest in meeting the Boleyns and their condescending noble. So if he could, he would dodge as fast as he could. A wizard should not get involved in a physical game!

Balan humorously looked at the frowning

face of his brother: "Stop scowling. Your charms have increased in price so much thanks to them, right?" Herbs and all the things he could manufacture in the same way. A great PR - quotes Hisashi Irkalla.

Eden snorted, which he did not deny, and it was well worth the reward for being chased around town by the Boleyns for a month. That case also taught him to ask for information about a customer before accepting money. Being beaten once was more than enough, and he had no interest in running a marathon around Asgaphra again. Thanks!
