Chapter 1686: Youre still beautiful (2/2)

When they heard Merlin's question, August, Maria, and Sicily also looked at Haru curiously since they also wanted to know how Haru could erase the fire from Kurt before.

As for Lynn and Yuri, both of them knew already how Haru could do it, so they didn't feel that much surprised when Haru wanted to tell Melinda, Merlin, and Shin about his magic.

Shin was also curious at how Haru could erase Kurt's flame before wondering how Haru was able to do it.

Haru nodded and said, ”Yes, I don't mind telling you, but...” He glanced at August deliberately but didn't say anything.

”Ah!” Merlin noticed Haru's deliberate gaze and said, ”I'm sorry, Your Highness, can you go home first?” He didn't feel guilty about this since he knew the importance of magic to a magician.

”....” August was in shock when he was told to go home. He opened his mouth then closed it again before looking at Shin, hoping Shin would help him.

Shin also noticed August, then looked at Haru and asked, ”Can August stay?”

”Shin, if one day you open a restaurant and everyone who has eaten your food says that your food is delicious, and you get a lot of money from it, are you happy?” Haru asked.

Shin didn't know why Haru asked this question, but he nodded. ”Yes.”

”Then if one day, the owner of the rival of your restaurant comes to you, then ask what is the secret recipe of your food, will you give him?” Haru asked.

”Of course not.” Shin shook his head and knew the importance of the secret recipe for his restaurant. He might be able to give it to his friends and family, but not to his competitor.

”There you go.” Haru smiled and said, ”What you have asked me is something like that.” He looked at August and said, ”Your Highness, I'm sure that you're unhappy at this moment, but you should also need to understand my position, after all, our country isn't exactly an alliance, and even if we're an alliance, there's no way that we can tell every one of our secrets, right? Even to our most important people, we sometimes also have a secret that we have always kept.”

'Ah!' Shin finally understood, and he also knew that his request was rude before, so he quickly said, ”I'm sorry, Haru. I've said something wrong.”

”Don't be. It is good that you have realized that you've made a mistake. What is scary is when you have made a mistake, but you don't realize that mistake,” Haru said.

Merlin and Melinda nodded simultaneously, and Yuri, Lynn, Sicily, and Maria were looking at Haru in amazement.

Shin nodded without hesitation and thanked Haru. He then looked at August apologetically and said, ”Well, sorry, Aug.”

August sighed and nodded. ”Then I'll go back now.” He knew that staying here any longer would lower his prestige as royalty, so he left without hesitation, and at the same time, his face was burning in shame when he thought that he was so shameless to ask his friend to let him stay. He didn't have any face to stay any longer and decided to leave right away.

”Well... then we'll go too, Haru,” Maria said sadly.

Sicily also stood up and also felt sad.

After all, they both realized that they were outsiders, so they decided to leave, but...

”You two can stay. I don't mind explaining it to both of you,” Haru said.

”Huh?” 2x

Maria and Sicily were surprised.

”It isn't something special after all, and what is our relationship? You two are also beautiful girls. It is also good to become stronger so you can protect yourselves better,” Haru said with a smile.

”Haru...” Sicily was moved at that moment.

”It's great that you know,” Maria said with a beautiful smile since she was also happy that Haru didn't treat her as a stranger.

”Sit down first,” Haru said.

Maria and Sicily nodded then sat down one by one, but there was still a trace of worry on their faces.

Maria looked at Haru then asked, ”Haru is that alright?”
