☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—Pleased to meet you, Alaria. You have indeed understood everything correctly. —After meeting with the uncouth thug with a skull in a bag, Klin was even a little glad that it was much easier to establish a dialogue with the new guest of Her Highness. —I will immediately report to Her Luminary about you. As for customs and traditions, there is no need to worry. From what I have managed to understand about the summoned, our worlds are very similar in terms of cultural, moral, and even linguistic characteristics. This is, frankly, a little strange, but it will be extremely difficult for an ordinary traveler like you to distinguish yourself from the local residents. I think Her Highness understands this perfectly. If you are interested in exploring the city, I can recommend that you familiarize yourself with this excellent guidebook. —Klin clapped his hands, then whispered something to one of his familiar lackeys, and then a map of Margel was brought to Alaria. —And remember, Miss Alaria, as our guest, you can also count on lunch and lodging in the residence, by the great kindness of Her Highness.

—Thank you, —the Tanarissian smiled, taking the guidebook from the Kridear's hands, —and please convey my heartfelt gratitude to Her Majesty for such a warm welcome and hospitality.
It all sounded as if the new empire was similar to Reim, but even in Reim, there were many different views among different strata of society. Not to mention travelers from other lands, like her native Tanariss. But at least the basic norms of politeness were still respected, at least within the walls of the imperial residence. As for other nuances... it seems that in her free time, she will have to pore over books to fill the suddenly formed gap in her own knowledge. But that's for later, and for now, she had at hand, obviously aimed at tourists, a guidebook. Of course, certain chapters of it were clearly useless for Alaria right now. It is difficult to familiarize oneself with the entire breadth of local cuisine without a penny to one's name. But for now, it wasn't really necessary, given the promised food. Well, perhaps she could even learn a couple of local recipes from the imperial cooks, assuming that these recipes are not something she is already familiar with. That would really be a new experience, considering that this has not even happened to her in her own world. Whereas local establishments, at least according to Klin, were close to their Reimian counterparts. And after familiarizing herself with the guidebook, she could take a little walk around Margel, see the sights, and see how people live here.
