212 Girls Time II (1/2)
”I'm glad that you survived and came back to us alive ”
Amaryll heard everything that happened in the dungeon while chugging a couple of mugs of ale.
Catalie kept the magical barrier around them so no one could hear them talk. Arrora didn't say anything about Don's illness to Amaryll which would make Amaryll panic and the little girl cry.
”This is goooooood”
The tigress had finished at least ten mugs of various ale and the drinks made her nervousness completely disappear.
”It's not a surprise that brother bested the arena and brother Knight would have too if it not for his bad luck”
Catalie proudly said while playing with the cubs who were finished they milk and played with Catalie by trying to touch her but failing ultimately.
”So when are you going to tell him that you like him?”
”WHAT?!”
Arrora almost sprayed the juice out from her mouth
”What nonsense are you talking, Amaryll?”
Arrora berated Amaryll but she laughed at her.
”You can fool the men but not us, Arrora, it's natural for a girl to develop feeling towards a man if she spent her most of her time with him”
”There's no such thing, I think you had too many drinks”
”Then why are you blushing?”
Amaryll pointed at Arrora's cheeks and laughed again with Catalie
”No, I'm not”
”You should move fast girl, or Amber would snatch him away from you, men like princesses, especially an innocent beauty like her”
”What do you mean?”
Arrora frowned
”Think about it, she would soon start working with him, and what if she attracted him more than you? He might marry her then even if you marry him, you'll always be second ”
It was common among kings to take many wives and Amaryll didn't think that Don would stop with one wife because a powerful and handsome youth like him was like a magnet that attracts beauties.
”I'm only attracted to the elves or I would have made my move”
”She's right, Arrora, look at the girls that met him until now, Rosaline, Darlene, Princess Amber, and didn't you say just now that Amara tried to seduce him, although I haven't met them, I'm sure they all are beautiful”
Arrora's mouth turned dry hearing them and an unknown dread starting to fill her heart.
”No, Amber is not like that and the others are his enemies”
Amaryl and Catalie noticed that she was panicking as she spoke a little faster than usual.
The tigress was too busy with tasting the ales as she didn't involve herself with this conversation.
”Didn't you hear the saying, fight at first sight often end up love, at last, take Reghys for example, she said she and her husband fought for territory when they first met but they both loved each other and she ended up giving birth to his child”
”But I rather stay beside him as a servant and help him than be his sweetheart and hinder him from reaching his goals, besides what if he likes someone else?”
Both of them knew Arrora was struggling to realize that she actually likes him and afraid of confessing her feelings.
”You do realize that he will get married someday right? You can't always be just his companion, you need to step up girl, or it'll be too late for you”
Queen Sienna had already brought up the topic of Don's marriage in Sigalla and thinking about it now, her heartbeat accelerated.
”Joel said the kings, queens, and nobles would soon visit brother looking to marry their daughters to him, he also said his reputation as a peak level grandmaster is growing in the empire”
In this month's time, Don's reputation had grown and most of the kings and nobles in the upper-rank kingdoms now knew about him as a prodigy king.
If he was just a king of a rank four kingdom they wouldn't even consider him for their daughters but since he was a peak-level grandmaster at this young age, they would come running to him with their daughters.
”When he reaches the heavenly realm, even the prodigies might line up before him, and when that happens who knows what'll he would do, he's a man, after all, he can't resist a woman's touch forever”
Amaryll said and finished another mug as Arrora put her juice down with a downhearted face.
Looking at her worried face, the cubs nudged their little heads against her face and licked her hoping to brighten her mood.
”What do you think? Grey”
The tigress heard some words of their conversation and guessed what they were discussing.
”I'm not a good person to ask for love advice, I'm as dumb as them in that part”
The tigress pointed at the cubs and shook her head.
”But if you like him, why don't you just tell him?”
