-----

Vlad, Chris, and everyone else with them entered the large manor next to their home, an abandoned house that used to belong to a noble that lived there but that went to live in the capital after Elderbridge became a dangerous, criminal-filled city.

Now that the whole house, and several ones within the noble district of the city, were vacant, Teressa decided to give two to the goblins, enough to host them all rather comfortably. It helped that they were so small, so they didn't feel at all like the space wasn't enough.

After all, giving each one of them their own house was too excessive, so Teressa talked with them about that offer, and they ended up agreeing about getting two luxurious, albeit old and dust-covered noble manors instead.

Unlike other people, goblins liked living together in large groups too; a goblin living alone would usually feel depressed all the time, as they were social people that enjoyed being surrounded by dozens of their kind. Living alone in their own little house was worse than living all clumped together in a cave for them.

It was very rare for a goblin to go on their lives alone, usually joining large groups of criminals or mercenaries to feel company; even among others that weren't their kind and may discriminate against them, they still preferred bad company to no company at all.

They were a weird bunch, but Vlad could understand them to an extent, although he was the complete opposite.

"Ah, it's Prince Vlad!"

As they knocked at the door, a little goblin woman opened the door. With long red hair and green eyes, she wore a brown dress made of animal leather and looked rather cute.

"Welcome back, Prince! You're so handsome today too!"

"A-Ah? Thank you… We came with my family to talk with Gofumina and Heracles. Are they here?"

"Oh yes! Please come in; I'm so sorry for keeping you there! Welcome, welcome!"

The goblin woman greeted everyone as Vlad and his family entered, finding dozens of goblins walking around, running, cleaning, talking, tinkering with stuff, cooking, eating, and even singing and playing games.

It was so loud inside the manor that they were surprised they barely heard anything outside. These manors were actually made using special protection magic, hence why they were so strong and had not collapsed despite the time.

This, as a result, made it so the sounds inside didn't resonate outside as much…

"Ahh! It's the prince!"

"Lady Teressa!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"Hellooo!"

"I was just cooking some eggs! Do you want to eat with me?"

"Prince Vlad, would you like to test my new weapon? It's a gauntlet that shoots stink bombs when you press the button!"

"Hello! You're such a handsome prince! Would you like to eat these cookies I baked?"

"Oh, Prince Vlad! Prince Vlad!

Among the goblins, most of the females were charmed by Vlad, running to his side and jumping adorably, asking for his attention while offering him gifts.

In Goblin Culture, both men and women gifted things to those they liked as a show of appreciation and a confession of love…

Something Vlad didn't quite know about.

Paul felt embarrassed, waving his hand as he gently rejected them, although he ended up grabbing most of the things they gifted to him, storing them inside his inventory.

As he walked away while moving to where Heracles and Gofumina were, which was the second floor, the goblin females cried in awe and happiness for some reason.

"Kyaaaah! He took my gift!"

"He took mine too!"

"I suppose he is a prince after all!"

"Is he aiming for a harem? I would be happy with being a concubine anyway!"

"Me too! Me too! I want babies!"

"Huh?!" Vlad quickly stopped walking, as he realized he had fucked up and quickly gave the gifts to every girl, apologizing while doing so.

For a moment, he received very awkward glares from Chris and the rest, who remained mostly silent as the goblin females, rejected, cried with their hearts broken.

"D-Don't worry, they'll get over it by tomorrow!" The goblin woman, clearly older than the rest, patted Vlad's arm while trying to comfort him after noticing his worried expression.

"Haha, still, sorry…" He apologized. "I really need to learn more about your culture…"

"Damn bro, you almost got the whole goblin community as your wives; what a bull!" Laughed Chris, finally teasing him as he couldn't contain himself anymore. "Can you imagine the kids?"

"D-Don't joke about it!" Vlad felt even more embarrassed.

"Enough jokes for now; let's go." Teressa said.

As they walked upstairs, they found Heracles and Gofumina polishing weapons with a few other goblins. They seemed to be rather cozy in here.

"Oh, prince! Already here? Are you here for a mission? We'll do anything you ask!" Heracles was ready to get to work. "After all, this beautiful house doesn't come for free, right?"

"Ah yes, for now it's fine; you can just rest and get ready for tomorrow perhaps, but we'll get to that later," said Vlad.

"We're here to talk about what you know about the Silver Moon Duchy and its new ruler," Teressa went straight to the point, sitting over a nearby chair after Insecta placed a white handkerchief over it. "Talk. Tell me about its new ruler, his plans, what he wants to achieve, their social and economic structure, and how they are currently. Are they struggling? Are they fine? I need information."

"W-Woah, woah, woah, calm down a bit, Lady Teressa. We do know stuff, but please calm down; we can't… Well, you see, we goblins are kind of slow at times, so let's sit down and talk." Heracles slowly walked from the small room where he was, took a chair, and sat down in front of the desk. "Alright, Gofumina, come over."

"A-Ah? Me too?" Gofumina asked; she just wanted to be on her own or with her goblin friends, but she sighed, walking towards them and standing there while crossing her arms and looking slightly annoyed.

"Mind your manners in front of our new masters, will you?" He asked her.

"Okaaay…" She groaned.

"Such manners! Behave!" Chris said, sitting cross-legged in the air while acting like the boss.
