84 Chapter 84: Ploy (1/2)
Once Ahri entered into the bar, everyone went silent and stared at her curiously…
Ahri didn't care much about their gaze and walked over to Caesar, ”can I sit next to him?” she asked Leo politely.
”Y-yes empress!”
Leo scooted to the right and let Ahri take his seat, she sat down elegantly and stared at Vivan with provocation.
Caesar leaned towards her and put his lips close to her ear, ”you don't seem to be in a very good mood, darling” he whispered quietly so that the others couldn't hear him.
”Hmph, what are you doing here?” Ahri snorted and asked bitterly.
Caesar glanced around the room curiously for a few seconds before turning back toward Ahri ”Naturally I'm in the bar, to drink” he spoke with a sly smile plastered on his face which angered Ahri even more.
*slam*
Vivian loudly slammed down a glass of wine in front of Ahri, effectively interrupting what looked to be, Caesar and her lovers' quarrel.
”Is this what you meant by 'everything'” Vivan asked Caesar with a knowing smile.
Caesar studied her expression and fluctuations of mana within her body, however, he could not detect any ill intent or bad feelings.
”Oi, why are you staring at my wife so seriously?” Faust broke Caesar out of his thought and patted him on the shoulder.
”No reason, in particular, I was just admiring her beauty” Caesar replied without thinking about the Vixen to his right.
”Hmph, too bad she's already married you scoundrel” Ahri spoke coldly while sipping her glass of wine.
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Caesar's lips, he was curious as to how Ahri even figured out where he was.
*slam*
Suddenly, Faust slammed the table with his glass of flame nectar and smiled in gratification… ”I must thank you, Caesar, no one was willing to send my son out to battle because he was too young, but now, he can finally become a man!” he interrupted everyone with his drunken ramblings.
”Where is he going to battle at? Is it safe?” Vivan asked worriedly.
”Haha, don't worry… He's going to ambush the trolls once they try and abduct the kobold women” Faust said reassuringly while filling up his glass with more flame nectar, himself.
”Well, at least it's an easy mission… I'm surprised he got sent out to battle on the first meeting he attended” Vivan spoke with astonishment.
Caesar opened his eyes wide at her words and entered into deep contemplation.
”You better hope my son comes back safely mister strategist haha,” Vivan said jokingly while chuckling.
*screech*
Caesar suddenly stood up from his bar stool and faked an expression of being completely under the influence.
