Chapter 190 - 4 more days until day 1 of the debutante party (2/2)
(Now that I think of it, my connection to royal might be better than most noble) [Ash]
And now, they won't stop talking... should I leave. Maybe I should just grab a drink first. That cold grape juice looks nice.
”You there, care to become part of my family?” [Noble old man]
”!?” [Ash]
Looks like a couple of nobles from other countries approach me. They bring along their daughters. Well, the answer should be crystal clear
”Nope. Bye-bye” [Ash]
”At least listen. My daughter here is...” [Noble old man]
”Nope. Bye-bye” [Ash]
”Then how about...” [Silver hair noble]
”Not interested” [Ash]
”How about I appointed you to become our soldiers? Surely, behemoth slayer like you...” [Brown hair lady]
”Already working” [Ash]
”You should listen to us noble!” [Silver hair noble]
This line again. Just how many times do I hear it right now. Plus, every time someone like them says those line, their eyes couldn't hide the greediness. Tchh... I'm pissed off now
”Excuse me. I like to have a word with him” [First prince]
”!” [Other]
”What is it...” [Ash]
”Just come with me for a second” [First prince]
Looks like they know he is the first prince of Estel. Well, I don't want to cause much ruckus, so let just follow him
”There. You may go” [First prince]
”Did you just... Well, thanks” [Ash]
Again, don't know whether he is serious or stupid. He could just let me snapped and that would bring him more advantageous, but I suppose he didn't want this brunch party set up by King Estel to be spoil
”Look...” [Noble A]
”Isn't that...” [Knight A]
”The Beast King and The Demon King!” [Noble B]
”They're with King Estel and the princess!” [Noble C]
”And wasn't that the S rank adventure? Motra!” [Knight B]
”The fallen paladin as well...” [Knight C]
So that's why Haliza say she will come later, to make her grand entrance. Such drama, but it is a necessary one to establish her position. Someone like me might not fully realised how important that is, so let just keep quiet. There's also Qis, Ceanu and Crow here with... huh?
There are two things that pique my interest, the first being, wasn't the queen beside Diana is the fourth queen? At least I'm sure that isn't her true mother. Diana did mention her relationship with the fourth queen is a good one, so maybe she purposely asks the fourth queen to accompany her, and secondly
(That Motra... just who is he/she. For a moment, I can feel something... like Agnes?) [Ash]
It was only for a split second, and I'm not even sure what I detect was correct. Imagination? Maybe, but let just make a mini mental note
”Ash, let us go and greet them” [Haliza]
”You're our chaperone after all” [Liyana]
”Father will surely ”pamper” me a lot after this. Sigh... Not that I would complaint, maybe I should let Rean pamper me instead” [Muse]
”Haha, do that and Rean will surely run away from you” [Ash]
While the two of them (excluding Haliza) bow to the group, I simply shake my hand with the kings, all of them, which understandably cause Crow to stare dagger at me. Qis, as usual wanted to explode. She really is particular about manner, but
”Kahkahkah, such interesting fellow” [Leogris]
The Liger beastman, Leogris. He's around 2.5 meter talls with white fur and light orange strips. I got this feeling, the way he talks, he must be mingling around with the commoner not too long ago, and judging by his built and mana
”Adventure?” [Ash]
”Ex-adventure. B rank” [Leogris]
”As I thought. Can't say much about this old man though... you look intimidating but sadly...” [Ash]
”Kahkahkah, everyone thought the same, but not everyone wanted to voice it out, since Aries here will beat them” [Druser]
Druser, just like Zerolith and any other demon, he has a silver hair with two horn protruding out of his temporal bone. Around 2.3 meters tall, and looks quite old, until I am told he's around 27 years of age, which is kinda shocking to be honest. Well, better do my job as a chaperone. As I introduce the two ladies with me,
”Ooh, you sure are a strong one, behemoth slayer” [Motra]
Again, I can feel something, but it's only for a split second. Am I really imagining thing? As he/she keeps on talking, a ”powder” like thing fall off from his wings. It's normal for insect beastman should they become excited, so I just let if off, still
”Agnes?” [Ash]
”Pardon?” [Motra]
”Nothing” [Ash]
Maybe I really am imagining thing.
”Now then, how about we quickly settle our businesses and meet Kara and Mara. This sweet lady here can't help but to talk about her all the time” [Motra]
”Motra!” [Aries]
”True, I wanted to meet the special two, alongside Flinar, Erinmorlin and Lisa of course” [Druser]
”Sound interesting, maybe I'll pay a visit as well” [Leogris]
”How about you do it tomorrow? We can arrange it for you two” [King Estel]
”True, it's better that way. Plus, we might get in the way of those working around the neighborhood” [Ceanu]
”Ash, can you?” [Diana]
”Your look and your word isn't synchronizing!” [Ash]
Well, more work for me...
”Can I, meet them after this?” [Aries]
”I'll follow” [Motra]
”Motra!” [Leogris]
”Haha, joking. Don't want to spoil the touching reunion, plus, I can meet them tomorrow” [Motra]
”Just tell me once your business is done, I'll guide you to the orphanage” [Ash]
”Thank you” [Aries]
