73 Why Donst You Both Leave Me Alone? (2/2)
”Stupid toad, why can't you just get lost! Don't you see you are ruining the atmosphere of the restaurant for the rest of the people?!”
”Toad? Ugly commoner, with your poor upbringing, only you would start shouting and cursing.” Sniffed the male servant in disdain towards Mae.
”What?!” About to explode with rage, Mae wanted to smack the arrogant look off the man's face.
”Hold on, hold on, quiet down. Amon, where are your manners?” Interrupting the fighting servants, the approaching boy was good-looking in his own right, however, compared to the people who surround Greyson, the newcomer was rather average-looking. The power radiating off the young man was around the advanced level stage two which was not worthy of Greyson's attention, even Claire was stronger than the man. Smiling graciously, the young man tried his best to act suave as he approached the table.
”My apologies to the young lady for my servant's behavior. I have obviously not educated him properly. Amon, quickly apologize!” Taking the situation in stride, he continued acting like a benevolent noble. Greyson could only inwardly snicker. Lucius mentally mentioned to him about Claire's earlier glare which made Greyson believe that this kind, angel-like lady was not as inwardly beautiful as she tried to portray. He did not mind as it only made him more guilt-free for rejecting her, but he could tell this young master had met his match. Even Greyson could see through the lecherous intentions in the young man's eyes behind his act, while he could not tell anything about Claire until her small slip-up. The amateur showing off in front of the master. Who would win?
”I apologize, I meant no offense.” Quickly following along, the servant apologized.
”It's okay. I do not hold a grudge. But if you could return now so I can enjoy my meal with my partner.” Graceful and magnanimous, Claire acted as if nothing happened. Furrowing his brows, Greyson suddenly felt the urge to puke with her fake act, plus he could clearly tell that she was trying to drag him into this mess. Just as he feared, Anshelm turned his eyes over to Greyson.
”Half-elf? You want to associate yourself with some disgusting mixed-blood?” Disdain filled the young master's expression as he spat those words. Angered by his words, Greyson felt like acting just to make this annoying person leave. However, just as the thought popped up, Greyson's food arrived.
Happily glancing his food, Greyson threw out the thoughts of the two and wanted to quickly get started. Taking his first bite, he could feel the abundant fire elements run through his body and warm his blood while perfecting the element balance in his body. Slightly meditating, his body drifted into a relaxed state as he enjoyed the great food and absorbed the fire elements trying to waste as little as possible.
”HEY!” His wonderful state was suddenly shattered by a loud mana-supported shout. Not just Greyson, multiple people in the room suddenly spat blood as their meditation with their meals was also interrupted. Everyone looked over and glared daggers at the Acernis young master. However, completely forgetting himself, Anshelm continued looking at Greyson.
”Will you get lost? I am trying to enjoy a nice meal with this young lady.” Recollecting himself from his earlier anger after being ignored, Anshelm tried his best to ask politely. Greyson, however, was quite passed manners at this point.
”Scram! Don't you know the rules of the restaurant?! People could get seriously injured when their meditation is interrupted so suddenly!” His anger was echoed by the surrounding people as they supported Greyson. Face pale, Anshelm finally realized his mistake as he looked around. Even the guards at the entrance of the staircase walked over.
”Hmph! Uncultured things, Magician Greyson is right. Both of you should quickly leave this place.” Mae felt like she could finally speak out. However, Greyson's anger filled eyes soon turned towards Mae and Claire as well.
”Both of you, as well. My food has come, it is time for you to leave as promised. Why don't you both just leave me alone? I need peace when I eat.” Not holding back anymore, Greyson quickly indicated for both of the girls to leave as well. It was now time for Claire to blush and realize that her promise had already come into effect as she looked at the food now on the table. Nibbling at her lip, she made a teary-eyed look fishing for sympathy, but none was to be found with Greyson. Finally, unable to shamelessly stay, she got up and walked down the steps. Although Anshelm did not understand the situation, he could tell that the young lady was now upset so it was his chance. Without even needing a second warning, he voluntarily left the third floor of the restaurant rushing after his crush.
Seeing both of them leave, Greyson couldn't help but sigh, ”Peace and quiet.”
...
After a successful meditation session, Greyson asked around for the tavern that the caravan was supposed to stay at. Not too long after, he had found the place and his assigned room. Flopping onto the bed, Greyson felt physically and mentally exhausted after the array test and the earlier emotional drainage from Claire and the young master. His eyes drooping, he could feel the drowsiness winning him over. However, before he could fall asleep, there was a light knock at the door.
”Sir Greyson? Are you awake?” Recognizing the voice as Eden's, Greyson rubbed his eyes before answering.
”Ms. Ley, is there an issue?” Feeling impatient and tired, he couldn't help but sound brusque.
”Actually, there is something really important I need to speak with you about...” Listening to the graveness in her tone, Greyson finally concentrated and looked up at her curiously.
”Well, come on in and we can talk about it.”
