    <span style="font-weight:400">After finishing their ss, everyone headed to lunch. Keith stretched his hands back and forth, excited about eating lunch.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, are you going to eat with us?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." This was a surprise. Herrick usually ate with the others.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s cool." Keith smiled. Like that, the group headed to their table.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Prince Herrick." Tristan smiled. However, Herrick shook his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello." As the group was going to eat,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can I eat with you as well?" Keith turned around to see Alfia and Faelyn. Another surprise came up to him now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. I don''t mind." Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Everyone was silent, and that was due to the addition of three people. It was shocking to see Herrick, let alone Alfia and Faelyn.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what did you prepare today?" Alfia asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, some steak and leftovers. You want to try?" Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alfia''s eyes widened, "Is that fine?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wait a minute! The princess can''t taste anything." Faelyn muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">……


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Faelyn, you''re being unreasonable." Alfia grabbed her head. Faelyn was too over-protective.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I can''t, princess."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Keith pped his hands. An idea came to mind, "Then you can have a taste first."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Aren''t you the poison taster? That means if it goes through you first, then it would be fine." Keith smiled and handed her some food.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Alright." Faelyn''s expression turned red as she ate the food. She didn''t expect Keith to be so direct. There was a pause before she turned to Alfia, "Princess, you can eat it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like that, Keith handed some food to Alfia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is really delicious." Alfia was surprised by the food. It was crunchy and delicious.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, this is cucumbers and carrots wrapped in ham." It was an idea Keith came up with.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can I have more?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Keith didn''t mind feeding her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mooch," Herrick muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alfia frowned, "Don''t want to hear that from you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone could see the fireworksing from both Alfia and Herrick. It was the norm.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now, now. There''s no need to fight with one another. Also, how''s your spirit doing?" Keith remembered the bird that was with her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"My spirits doing fine."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you sure?" The expression said otherwise. It was weird as Alfia looked away, not trying to meet his gaze. Alfia scratched her head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You see, my familiar has been acting up."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I came here to ask for a favor."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What kind of favor?" Keith tilted his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can my familiars stay at your ind?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? My ind?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. My spirit has been acting out these past few days. It kept asking to stay at your ind." Alfia groaned as she exined. This situation had kept her up all night.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Heh? Can''t you control your familiar? How are you this weak?" Herrick scoffed. But that caused Alfia to re at him again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was a cat and a dog.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, I''m alright with it." Keith didn''t mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Really?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If your spirit behaves, it can stay." The spirit probably felt lonely. Fira had Mir and Aria, and it likely wanted to y with the two.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry! My spirit won''t do anything bad."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good." Like that, they continued to eat without a thought. But there were a few that wanted to say some things.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?" Keith noticed the weird expressions on the others'' faces. Well, Herrick was the only one who didn''t care.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you''re too rxed with these types of things." Tristan gave a light chuckle. Even he was surprised by how he was. There was something.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? We''re only talking with others." It was Herrick and Alfia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Besides themunication skills, don''t you feel the pressure?" Throughout their lunch, everyone could feel it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, that." Keith stared at the sky, "I gave up a long time ago." This was something he had epted. Of course, he could feel the pressure. But it happened too many times that he epted this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He went from the denial phase into the eptance.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I see." The others had no words to console him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Princess, why are you doing this?" As Keith headed home, Alfia and Faelyn did the same. But thetter was confused as to what happened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This was a serious issue.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You don''t need to worry so much. Keith also has a spirit." Alfia consoled her. She understood why Faelyn was worried.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He tamed a spirit?" Faelyn''s eyes widened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. And my spirit had fun staying there. We can trust him."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?!" Faelyn was surprised by her words. She understood Alfia''s spirit was not the type to be friends with others. It was a lofty spirit.


    <span style="font-weight:400">For it to like someone was surprising.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Noticing her expression, Alfia chuckled. You might die if you know he has a great spirit living there. Just the thought was unbelievable for her. She was still having time to ept that something like this had happened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But princess, when did you have time to visit his ind?" This was news to her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Nothing." Alfia looked away, trying her best not to listen.
