28 The new member and The magnificent capital (1/2)

t was about time to head out to the capital.

Apolion and everyone else were packing their things as they were gonna stay in another inn. But before that, Apolion, remembered that Krisbleai invited him if he have time.

Well, he does have time now so he 'might as well go and visit her' to see what was it about before going.

A carriage with the unique horses of this world could be seen outside from the windows and Takeshi and company were having a conversation between them. Nothing out of the ordinary.

----

''Madam, the client named Apolion Aldaneos has requested to enter for a private conversation.''

A butler entered respectfully and waiting for the reply of his master.

''Let him in''

''As you wish'' The servant then made Apolion come out of the door and sit down with Krisbleia in the small table from the office near a small greenish sofa and bid farewell.

Krisblea looked occupied at first as she was in her desk with papers to look and write with unknown business to Apolion. She put each of them away in a small space near her table so she could view Apolion but she also signalled to come to the desk instead of the sofa he was in and signalling to sit down.

''I just wanted to give you something before you go'' She said firmly.

Apolion looked in anticipation.

''Here take this'' Krisbleia gave Apolion a pendant of golden highlights and shape of a drop of water but of the size of a thumbnail. A brilliant gem of blue colours displaying from within.

''I can't explain much since you don't know full Floreian. But whenever someone asks you what it is, say its a gift from someone got it?

This is a pendant that might help you at some point in your journey and you will be able to call me if I am close within a 2000 Tonelics. Oh to give you an idea...

With a range as big as this country.

I am not an ordinary person. I am from the Polenic organization. You will understand later. But this was given to me by my Granpha and told me to hand it out to someone named Apolion Aldaneos..

And to identify you he told me you emit a strange aura different from what normal citizens or all race's auras and there is no one with that name in this world.

He seemed correct, I never heard of such a name before. Especially your friends also have strange names never heard of before. Sorry if I am rude. But take care on your journey.

Do you understood everything?''

Apolion silently nodded.

''Well, then..''

Krisbleia came much closer to Apolion. Apolion in the other hand seemed perturbated and nervous that a beautiful woman is getting closer to him out of nowhere.

''Turn around'' her voice carried command as if she had the authority of the whole country.

Apolion did as told only to be..

Muah!

''Wha-!''

''A kiss''

That's a reward for entertaining me and helping with the chores in some cases.

Now that Apolion remembers.While he stayed here. When he had a bit of free time he decided to help the Krisbleia as since he knew he might be staying here for free why not help people a bit?

''Good bye and take care hope I see you and your friends again'' She said one last time seductively while bidding farewell to the departing Apolion who was processing what just happened.

''Apolion we have been waiting for you.Wait a minute!

What is that sign..on your CHEEKS!''

George burst out of the carriage waiting for them as he witnesses Apolion coming out to go the capital within the same carriage.

''What do you mean?'' Apolion asked confused.

''Stop playing dumb.it was a girl wasn't it?!'' George pressed the matter as if its a serious matter like the end of the world.

George got frustrated as he met mostly men and girls of his dislike while coming where they were..but that's for another time.

''Wait...give me a mirror!''

''Look a yourself on the water reflection from that bowl over there.'' George pointed out to a bowl close to them left probably by someone who was coming to pick it up or God knows what was it for.but convenient for the time being.

Apolion looked with curiosity until he found an implanted kiss in red. Now that he remembers ..'' Her lips were more red than usual...''

'Why can't I get it off?' Apolion tried to get rid of it to no avail.He guessed he had to ask Lorenya to remove it before it gets worse as she may know something about makeup.

''Forget it, probably an accident with someone...'' Apolion tried to hide the incident but George was suspicious as if it was his mother pressing on the issue.

''Yeah right....I will get back at you on the carriage now get on'' George said one last time before telling Apolion to get to the carriage.

Throughout the journery long story short.They annoyed Apolion about the kiss and making all sorts of outrageous remarks.

Lorenya was quite surprised while saying that the lipstick is called a lover's lipstick or a long-lasting rare type of lipstick that only high-class ladies could afford and it will naturally wear of a become less resistant after 3 hours usually and Achils was thinking Apolion has the potential to be a ladies man.

Apolion was however, thinking about Krisbleia's words..

'Did she say her grandpa knows me or did I misinterpret?'

''Master, you are right.It was extremely suspicious I suggest not to wear the pendant in case for now.But the woman sure was mysterious.I think you should tell someone like Takeshi or the Emperor if he knows something or Achils, but she indicated to keep it a secret to you master.In the end is your choice.'' Alize said in Apolion's head.

'Fair enough I was thinking the same.But I think I will keep it a secret only for now.maybe I will come across the organization or whatever it is somewhere on my journey. Deactivate thought reading'

'Affirmative'

'There shouldn't be no one in this planet that know of our coming or even one of us theoretically.. but I will come back once again to gain more information after I learn more'
