Chapter 201 Whats Her Name? 2 (2/2)

”They're not here for us.”

Startled, Rod looked at Nol in confusion.

”And what makes you think that?”

Nol cocked his head to the side as he gestured at the child that was now in full view after being held and dragged by the arm by the royal guards.

”Is that kid the third prince? Wait no… He has magic nullification chains on his arms. A criminal?”

Renee muttered as her eyes followed the direction where the kid was dragged to.

Rod squinted as he tried his best to understand the situation.

”I don't think he's done any great crimes. Most probably just a magic scuffle among those students from the academy. Well, I wouldn't be surprised. Some of the students there have big heads and even bigger egos.”

The crowd outside the restaurant saw that the drama was most likely over now that the troublemaker was apprehended. And so, they began to slowly leave to continue with their own lives.

The team all sighed in relief when the royal guards were finally out of sight but they all now hesitated to go inside the restaurant. With the huge ruckus, surely the restaurant would be affected. Normally, they would close for a few hours to try and mend the damages from the fight. If the fight ended up with major damages, some would even take days if they couldn't find a magic-user to fix it.

And the most worrying part for them would be the chances of the royal guards coming back.

And so, in case the restaurant decides to close and in case the royal guards decided to return, they scanned the nearby area for any other food establishment they can eat from instead.

But luck was not on their side. When they saw another restaurant, it seemed to be fully packed, with some guests outside probably waiting in line for their turn to enter.

”Are we seriously choosing this place over that other restaurant? This one looks like they get their meat from dead animals rotting at the side of the road! I mean, look at the dirt on those walls! People are probably going here because they don't have enough money to go to that famous place.”

Rod shushed Renee and her whining as he began to contemplate.

If they choose the other place, they could be safe from those royal guards but they'll be waiting outside for god knows how long and the quality of their meal isn't assured to be good.

But if they choose that famous restaurant, there's a big risk of the royal guards coming back and a big chance for them to wait a few hours if ever the restaurant closes, but then again, the quality of their meal is top-notch.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Rod couldn't seem to reach a decision.

But when another loud grumble from Rod's stomach erupted, Rod finally decided to make his way to the previous restaurant's entrance. The decision made Renee squeal in delight and she hurriedly tried to see if the restaurant was still open.

Seeing that there was no signage indicating its closure, she giggled excitedly as she urged the two men to hurry along. But as she grasped the handle of the door, it suddenly opened, making the door collide harshly on her face.
