    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith stretched his hands back and forth; that was a lot of paperwork. Even with the tea reinvigorating his body, it didn''t stop him from getting tired. That was why Ange suggested,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know! How about we go somewhere tomorrow! It will be my treat!" Ange suggested.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Guess I will be doing this again. Keith sighed. But he was okay with it. As he headed to the gates, he spotted some elves along the way. And the group noticed him as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We need to talk to you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What do you want to talk about?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We want to join your ind!" The elves stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You want to join my ind?" Keith frowned. He thought he heard something wrong.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes," "Why do you want to-"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We want to join your ind as well!" The elves weren''t alone, as beastmen and dwarves came from the other side.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?! You dwarves can''t join this ind!" The elves scoffed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why can''t we?! You elves shouldn''t be the ones joining." An argument ensued. When this happened, Keith scratched his head. He knew what to do next; escape! He quickly walked away from there before they had the chance to notice he had gone missing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What is wrong with those people?" Keith shook his head as he quickly returned home.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wee home, Keith!" "Po!" Fira and Mir quickly jumped at him. Keith caught the two,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I''m back!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, wee home." Nephele greeted him as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." Keith headed to the backyard; there, he saw the rest. Melor and Herrick trained Arlo while Gabriel and Jack sparred with one another. As they practiced, the rest sipped on some tea.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith went to the fridge to get himself some juice. As he drank, "What are you guys reading?" He noticed the girls reading a book.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s a romance between a princess and a noble."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? It''s not about a princess and amoner?" Wouldn''t that be a better story?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nope. It feels unrealistic." There was an immeasurable gap between amoner and a noble.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, a noble would be better." Alfia smiled.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, the two had been friends for quite some time. However, the two had their own duties. As the princess, she had to be prim and proper. While the noble had to watch over hisnd."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see. What happened next?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''re at the good part! The princess had an arranged marriage to expand the kingdom! And her friend whisked her away during the marriage!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How many volumes does it have?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"7! It was such a great stopper!" Carolyn smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Keith gazed at everyone''s expression. Even Faelyn, the calm and cold type, was interested in something like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I heard they were going to do a y for this," Sarahmented.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Really?! Then we should go watch it together!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is that fine with you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course! It''s more fun when there are more people." They should do it together. Keith smiled as he watched how they acted. Guess I should prepare dinner.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">While they ate food, Cadmus told Keith, "Keith, there''s a lot of people who want to join your ind."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? How many?" "There''s about 40."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"40?!" What in the world?! Why was there so many.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let me guess, it''s beastmen, elves, and dwarves, right?" Keith questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes," Cadmus nodded, "They all want to join your ind. How did you know?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because some came and asked me," Herrick, Melor, and Alfia''s eyes changed when they heard that.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, they waited for me by the gate and asked to join the ind. And then they started an argument, so I left before I saw that." He didn''t want to witness a bloodbath.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Those guys!" Alfia mmed her hands onto the table.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I can''t believe they''re bothering you now." Alfia and Faelyn were expected. However, their target now was Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you still have that damn poster on the bulletin board, right."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think I still have that." He kinda left it there and forgot.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"For starters, you need to take that off," That poster was too eye-catching for everyone. That would cause people to continue toe.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Also, don''t say yes to them."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know that." There was no way he was going to say yes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If they do, then say they have to get permission from any of us." They can''t burden Keith and the others with something like this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You two are good with this, right?" Alfia turned to Melor and Herrick.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course." "Yeah, I don''t want my food to be cut."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys haven''t thought about it? If we add more people on the ind, that would mean our food would probably be cut down?" Herrick exined. Howe no one thought about it?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Come on, guys! You don''t need to- What''s the matter?" Keith noticed how everyone''s expression changed from Herrick''s words.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Our food might go down?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now that you mentioned it," Everyone''s thought had been unified at this moment, "We should have a good screening!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah! We can''t have a bunch of random people joining our ind!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s exclusive."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed! You cannot let any random people join! Those people don''t understand the goodness of the food!" Cadmus roared. That was an oversight on his part!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Your eyes are scary.
