89 Tavern Games II (2/2)

”Did you order me another drink? You are indeed not as cold as you look” Arrora grabbed the lemon water thinking as ale and started to gulp before coughing up

”Yuck, what the heck is this?” she frowned and looked into the mug to find two halves of lemon floating in her drink

”Just drink it,it'll make you feel better”

”But I feel...” before Arrora could finish what she was going to say, the lemon water lifted from the mug and floated into her mouth by Don.

”It's so bitter” Arrora coughed and cleared her throat as she said.

”Give me a drink like that too” Arwen shouted at the waitress from across the room sitting near Amaryll.

Except for some demihuman men and dwarves, most of the crowd looked no better than Arrora or even worse due to the hangover. Seeing Amaryll blabbering and making funny faces at Arwen, Don understood why Arwen noticed what Don did to Arrora and asked for the lemon water. Unlike Amaryll and Arrora, Arya's face was down on the table while Benedict tried to get her up to leave the tavern.

Taking a couple of silver coins from his space ring, Don placed them on the table and stood up to leave the tavern and call it a night.

”I'm leaving, are you coming?”

”Yes, I will follow you wherever you go, your majesty” as she said, she tried to stand up just to fall on her chair again.

Even after drinking the lemon water, she was still in the hangover phase.

Seeing Arrora's condition Don understood he had to take her with him since he didn't want the people in Everlight or the soldiers to see Arrora in this state.

Don took her hand and put it around his neck to support her

”Come on let's go” Don started to head towards the door to leave the tavern while Arrora mumbled something under her breath.

Fortunately, most of the people in the tavern didn't see Don leaving or they were too drunk to notice. Stepping out of the tavern, Don noticed the evening had now become night as the moon and the stars filled the sky with their beautiful light.

The castle looked tall and stunning in the distance and the roads were still packed with women and kids. Don held Arrora tight and slowly took off from the ground to fly towards his castle.

”It's funny, you were carrying me just like this when we first met remember?”

”Yes I remember”

”Even after becoming a great-master, I need you to carry me”

Arrora smiled and said.

”Well, drink like this again I'll throw you in the river ”

”I promise I won't drink anymore” Arrora placed her other hand on her chest and vowed.

”Did you love anyone in your other world?”

Don was slightly shocked to hear such a question but he blamed the ale that was making Arrora talk like this.

”I probably forgot everything, so you can tell me”

”Yes ” seeing Arrora staring at him expecting his answer, Don decided to answer her

”You did?” Arrora was taken back in surprise and shock by Don's answer.

”Is she?”

”No, she's not dead”

”Why didn't she stop you from leaving?”

Don couldn't fly faster and put an end to her hangover questions but he had a feeling that she would probably throw out on him if he did.

”Because she thought, I'm dead”

”What would you do if you meet her again?”

The second she asked that question Don became silent for a moment

”For her sake, I hope she doesn't see me again” Arrora shut her mouth when she felt a sudden murderous aura from Don and it disappeared in a flash but Arrora was sure she felt the killing intent from Don.

Finally after a long slow flight, Don reached his castle and he flew directly towards Arrora room without being seen by anyone in the castle.

Arrora's room had a single candle lit and windows opened. Through the moonlight and the light from the candle, Don could see the neatly tied room as the room was clean and everything seemed organized. On the corner of the room, Don saw the single bed covered by a clean white bedsheet and walked towards the bed to place her on her bed before leaving.

”Thank you Don” Arrora said after Don put her on her bed, either she was too drunk or too tired Arrora went to sleep the moment Don put her down on her bed.

Seeing the half-elf peacefully sleeping Don took the bedsheet and covered her before leaving.
