41 Playboy Crown Prince (1/2)
After deciding to stay, Greyson decided to visit the city library to see if he could find information on the rock from the forest. He had a feeling that it was very special, so he did not want to ask anyone if he didn't have to.
The next morning he left with Aria in the direction of the library. Spending a couple hours searching fruitlessly, Greyson finally gave up as he could not find anything even remotely related to the rock. Furrowing his brows in thought, he walked out of the library trying to think of what to do. Aria was of course not silent during this trip and kept bothering him about what information he was looking for. Ignoring her questions, Greyson continued on contemplating if he should bring it up to his teachers or just wait till a year later when he is in the Idris Kingdom to see if they have any information. Walking aimlessly towards the tavern, Greyson suddenly slammed into another body. Snapped away from his thoughts he finally looked ahead of himself towards the other person.
In front of his eyes was a good-looking young man hugging two beautiful women to his side with his collar opened a little too generously. Seeing an unfamiliar face, Greyson just apologized absentmindedly and moved to continue walking away from the teenager.
”Hey, kid, stop!” A voice yelled out. Greyson turned around to look at the young man while confusedly pointing at himself.
”Me?”
”Yes, you! Is that how you apologize after running into someone? Do you know who I am?” He fumed angrily.
”I apologized and I barely ran into you so it doesn't seem to be that big a deal. No, I'm afraid I do not know who you are.”
”Hmph, well let me enlighten you then. I am this kingdom's Crown Prince!” Greyson's eyes widened in shock, feeling that his luck was too bad to run into someone like this.
”What are you scared now? If you kneel down and sincerely apologize I might let you go. Hm?” The prince sneered arrogantly before one of the women by his side whispered something into his ear. He paused before looking Greyson up and down then started nodding happily. The look in the prince's eyes made Greyson's hair stand on end while his heart began to sink. Without even waiting for the inevitable next words, he looked over at Aria and signaled her.
”Actually, you... Hey! What...” The prince began but was unable to finish as Greyson and Aria burst into action and sped away with their wind magic.
”How dare they! I want to know who they are! Immediately!” The prince shouted angrily while glaring dangerously in the direction the two kids had fled.
...
”Grey, what is with your kingdom's royalty? They are all arrogant and disgusting, whilst being weak. Really lets people be disappointed. First was the old man claiming to be cousins with the King and now some person claiming to be the King's son and Crown Prince. ” Aria wrinkled her nose in annoyance. Greyson just sighed with her words and began to realize that he should learn a disguise spell. There were some non-element spells that just used mana to work and one of them was a disguise spell that changed your features. You couldn't change the body shape like Lyle unless you took a pill, but there were simple spells to change hair color and facial features. He was getting sick and tired of being bothered and he was sure that everyone around him was getting sick of it, too. He decided that it would be the first thing he did when he got back to the Academy, now it was time for all this to end. Pushing today's incident to the back of his mind, he made his way back to the tavern with Aria and decided to wear a mask tomorrow when he went around shopping with Aria. However, he couldn't fall asleep as if he were anxious about something. Instinctively, he knew something was coming but he did not know what it could be.

Inside the castle
”She met with my uncle? The disgusting old child-loving pervert? Hahahaha, the Heavens are obviously helping me. Just let my uncle know where the two of those kids are staying, I believe then I won't have to do anything and my revenge will occur. Those stupid girls will regret looking down on me! I've heard my uncle also has a sadistic side, I almost pity their fate now.” The prince laughed happily as he thought about those arrogant little children getting tortured. He had never been shamed like he was today in his entire life. Everyone respected and feared him, however, those girls just left him without listening to anything he said. The entire town had probably heard of the incident by now. Gritting his teeth in anger, he told his servants to keep an eye on the situation then report back to him.
...
”My nephew? What does he want?” A gruff voice spoke out. The old man was still recovering from his burns so his mood was especially bad towards all his servants.
”My lord, he said that he found the little girl who caused your situation. That was all he said. The servant who came to relay the message said that master would understand his meaning.” A male servant reported back while trembling.
”Those two girls?! He knows them, too?! HAHAHA they won't escape from me this time. Call for my private guard! They won't overpower me this time.” His eyes squinted with a dangerous glint as he planned for tomorrow.
