175 I am not going to the dungeon (2/2)
After finishing the meals on the table, Amber saw the maids bringing elegant cups and saucers.
”This is the drink called tea I presume?”
”Hmm”
Princess Amber asked but King Edward already took a sip and started to enjoy the hot beverage.
Looking at her father's reaction, Princess Amber couldn't wait to take a sip.
The sound of the rain outside, the slight coldness in the hall, the fragrance coming from the tea seemed like a match made in heaven. And when it touched, Amber's taste buds, her eyes closed without her permission and a smile appeared on her mouth.
Don expected this reaction from her as even he himself would sit in front of the windows and enjoy drinking it while watching the rain outside. When he was in Agoria, that became a routine as Arrora would come to his room and they would enjoy it together.
”How is it?”
Don's voice brought back Amber as she opened her eyes.
”I'm going to be rich, this will sell like ice water in the desert and I can't wait to start this relationship with you, King Don, here's to the success”
Princess Amber raised her glass as Don and King Edward toasted for success with her.
”Where's Lord Clemo? I can't find him anywhere”
King Edward asked
”He said he has something to do with the Speckle family”
Don didn't say anything about Lord Clemo trying to win over Zohana Speckle's heart to King Edward.
After he finished drinking the tea, King Edward noticed that the daylight started to dim.
”Amber, we should get going”
DOn was surprised to hear King Edward since he thought they would stay for a few days.
”What's the rush, King Edward? I thought you would stay for at least a few days”
”I'd love to stay and fill my belly with these tasty dishes, King Don but we have to leave, I need to prepare a ball for the three who entering the dungeon and mingle with the nobles”
”Oh?”
”Speaking of which, I heard you're entering the dungeon yourself, King Don”
”I wanted to but something came up that requires my immediate attention, so I decided to send someone else ”
Don lied for some reasons but King Edward and Princess Amber seemed to believe him. As far as King Edward concerned, he wouldn't fear entering the dungeon since he's a grandmaster and he didn't fear when he threatened the kings at the gathering in front of Queen Cassia and the prodigies of the Moon Empire.
”Don't tell me they are grandmasters too?”
King Edward couldn't bear the shock of hearing he has another grandmaster under his command
”No, they are just great master”
”Fuck, how many great masters does this guy have?”
King Edward though and kept a smile on his face without revealing his emotions.
”Father, we should go now”
Princess Amber stood up with King Edward
”Arwen”
Don called as Arwen entered the hall
”Take some men and escort them to Sigalla ”
Arwen nodded and King Edward had already known that he wouldn't take no for an answer so he decided to go along with this arrangement.
”So I'll be back in a week, King Don”
Princess Amber smiled
”I'm looking forward to it Princess, Lord Clemo, and Glacia will provide all the help you need and I will return as soon as possible from Everlight”
Eventually, after sending King Edward and Princess Amber on their way to Sigalla, Don returned to his throne hall where Arrora and Ken were waiting for him.
”Aren't you coming to the dungeon?”
Arrora frowned as Don sat on his throne
”We are going but just not as Don and Adria”
Don flicked his wrist and retrieved a blue slimy potion from his space ring
”Take this and keep it with you until I'm telling you to drink”
”What is this?”
Arrora grabbed the potion and looked closely to inspect it
”You'll know when you drink”
