44 Prince Rai (1/2)

With the entire set of flowers, carefully arranged onto her hairs. They two of them left the flower shop to continue their date.

It has already been hours since they left the house for their date. As they were walking around to do something more. A loud voice startled them.

”Chloe~” From the look on her face, this voice was extremely familiar to Chloe. She seemed a little annoyed as the smile on her face twitched.

She was having such a great time with Saito, but now, an extremely annoying person had come to disturb her. It was perfectly normal for her to be ticked off.

Saito turned around together with her and stared at the guy who had called out for Chloe. He was releasing an inborn noble aura that probably came with his birth.

He was dressed in white-coloured clothes for the Royal Family. One look at him was enough for a person to guess that this guy was born with a gold spoon.

A smile graced his face as he stared at all the people like they were his subjects. His eyes were fixed upon Chloe, who was wearing her beautiful dress for her date with Saito.

His eyes gleamed with strange hunger as Chloe faced him. He ignored Saito's presence next to her because he didn't think Saito's presence was necessary now that he was on the scene.

His great pride forced him to disregard Saito and kept his gaze fixed onto Chloe. Numerous servants were surrounding him, many of them looked up to him with stares of admiration and awe because of his status.

They seemed to be a team prepared to head out for some task related to the Kingdom. Chloe gave him a slight bow and asked, ”Greetings to Prince Rai for coming here.”

The prince named Rai gave a laugh which charmed the few ladies following him, ”Haha… Chloe can call me Rai, though. There is no need for Chloe to be so courteous after all, you are one of the best healers within the kingdom.”

He stated as if they were very familiar with each other. Not wanting Saito to think that they had anything between them, Chloe quickly speaks, ”Prince Rai, I apologize, but I cannot do that, after all, we are not that familiar to each other.”

Prince Rai waved her words as if they were nothing, ”Since I say there is no need to be so courteous. There is no need to remain so courteous. Besides, I think we have gotten very familiar in this month while we went on the missions together.”

Shaking her head in disagreement, Chloe spoke out in a neutral voice, ”Those were just the missions assigned by the Union. I did my duty of helping the whole party with my healing techniques.”

Realizing that it would be useless to pursue this topic, the prince changed it coolly, ”Anyways, what are you doing here in such a beautiful dress? You are looking fabulous in this dress.”

Chloe replied to him with a look of disinterest in his praise, ”Thank you for the praise, Prince Rai. I am here on a date with Edwin.” Chloe cheerfully announces the reason what she was doing here.

Rai narrowed his eyes and sharply glares at Saito, who was looking at him with a bored glance. He seemed too tired to even start a conversation with the prince.

Even though he was clearly displeased, Rai managed to hold it in and speak with a smile gracing his face, ”Is he your childhood friend who disappeared for a month and a half after fighting against the Great Demon King?”

Even now that he had noticed Saito, he was still asking this from Chloe showing an absolute disdain for Saito.

Saito let out a sigh which he seemed to be holding in and says in a bored voice, ”Chloe, let's continue our date. We shouldn't hold the prince for too long, unlike us, he must be swamped right now.”
