203 Acknowledged (2/2)

”Is that so?” Anne asked, flashing her cunning smile she then said: ”Such a bummer then. You know, people like Big Bro won't stay single forever right? He's so dashing and heroic, many girls in my clan wanted to meet him. Some of our Elders even wanted to introduce their daughters to him in hopes of reeling him in. They asked for my help you know? I was just hesitant since I thought you guys had a thing, but it appears that you don't so I might as well help them.”

Anne turned around and sighed in a fake manner, sounding truly disappointed. All of a sudden, she felt a pinch on her sides, a victorious smile appeared on her face as she turned around to see Luna biting her lip while giving her a pleading look.

”Hahahaha.” Anne and Ellen burst into a cheerful laughter, Anne tapped Luna's hands and said: ”Alright, alright I get it.” Her behavior caused Luna to blush even harder.

Meanwhile on Raven's side. Paul just realized what Ellen meant so he immediately ran towards Raven and swung his arm around him.

”Good! Good Brother! Formidable indeed, just like me! Hahahaha!” Paul laughed merrily like a little child. Raven shook his head but there was a noticeable smirk on his face.

”Indeed, very formidable.” Mark commented on the side, smirking as he swung his arm around Raven as well. ”With how busy our schedules are, you wouldn't think that he would find time to chase after someone but nope, he just did.”

Mark looked at the blushing Luna and added: ”And it seems that he's making a considerable process. Our Dear Princess is rendered into a hot mess with just a comment from the Prince.” He looked at Raven and continued, ”Very formidable indeed.”

Raven raised his brow and his elbows found their way onto the stomach of the two. Mark and Paul reeled in pain.

Raven shook his head and chuckled, he then said: ”Get out of here. I need to rest.”

Paul and Mark's expression changed as they just remember that Raven just actually woke up. They shook their heads and stood up.

”Make sure to rest well.” Mark added, before leaving.

Paul caught the attention of the girls and told them that Raven needed rest. They too just remembered that and hurriedly excused themselves. Raven told them to relax as he wasn't offended by their visit even in the slightest, he was just spent and needed to rest. He escorted them to the door but something happened.

Anne gave Ellen a peculiar look, the latter got the message and went into action.

”Oops!” Ellen said before swaying her hips and bumping onto Luna causing her to stumble, a pair of firm and strong arms caught her. She looked up and saw that it was Raven who prevented her from falling.

They heard laughter in front of them but before they could say anything, they already left.

Luna blushed fiercely, she regained her balance and said: ”Thank you.”

”It's nothing.” Raven chuckled.

There was a period of awkward silence before Luna broke it.

”M-make sure you rest well, okay? I-I'm leaving now!” She was about to go out when she felt Raven hold her hand. She looked back and saw him staring at her with a peculiar expression.

”S-so uh...” Raven stuttered, ”You busy tomorrow?”

Luna was caught off guard by his sudden question. She shook her head as a response.

Raven scratched his head and said: ”Good. Want to have lunch with me?”

Luna felt her heartbeat quicken, she blushed hard but managed to nod her head in response.

”Alright, I'll pick you up.”

”Okay.” Luna replied in a almost a whisper.

”Okay.”

”Bye.”

”Bye.”

Luna exited his room, leaving Raven somewhat lost. He returned to his bed and laid down.

”God damn, I'm tired.”

He sighed exasperatingly but there was a smile that came along with it.
