CHAPTER - 92
[Cafeteria]
Dav: (Looking for Iris) Iris, are you there?
[Iris came out with messy hair and an incredibly pale face.]
Iris: (Worried) Tell me, Davy...
Dav: (Observing her) Have you been eating too little meat lately? You’re as white as a sheet...
(Looking at her more closely) Wait, don’t tell me you threw up?
Iris: (Irritated, making a funny face) Why did you suddenly release your aura?!
(Beginning to hit him with weak little punches) I was cooking and ended up on my knees suffering for thirty minutes!
(With tears in her eyes)
Dav: (Hugging her gently) Sorry... I lost control for a moment.
(Serious) It won’t happen again.
Iris: (Crying with a funny expression) If you wanted to kill me, you could have done better!
I’m still alive, as you can see!
Dav: (Sarcastic) Next time, I’ll put more effort into it.
<hr>
Narrator: Iris took advantage of the moment to hug him, their noses brushed against each other, and their gazes met for an instant.
Without wasting that perfect moment, Iris gave him a quick kiss and immediately pulled away, turning as red as a tomato.
<hr>
Iris: (Curious, crossing her arms) Did you come because you were worried about me, or did you need something, you idiot?!
Dav: (Smirking) I wanted a cold green tea, if possible.
Iris: (Throwing a tray at him) Idiot!
(Storming off, furious)
Dav: (Thinking out loud) I think she got mad... But I hugged her, so why?
That usually worked...
[Behind him]
Stefan: (Laughing) Women... What can you do? Ahaha!
This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Dav: (Sad) I just wanted some tea...
(Raising his voice) Mrs. Margherita, are you there?!
Margherita: (Surprised, laughing) Did you come to kill me in person this time, or do you need some poison? AHAHA!
Dav: (Apologizing) I’m sorry... Could you bring us some fresh green tea?
(Pointing at Iris) She got mad, and I don’t even know why...
Margherita: (Laughing) Alright, alright! AHAHA!
A few minutes later
Margherita: (Setting down the cups) Here you go, I’ll go back to cleaning.
Dav/Stefan: (Together) Thank you.
Dav: (Pointing at a table) Let’s sit down.
Stefan: (Sipping his tea) I must admit, it’s really good.
(Laughing) I can’t even imagine the King’s face if he knew we were wasting time drinking tea, ahaha...
[Magical call rings]
Stefan: (Annoyed) Speak of the devil...
(Activating the magical call) Brother, we’re almost ready. We’ll leave soon.
King Edmund: (On the other end, with a cold voice) "Almost" is not enough.
Where are you?
Stefan: (Smiling) Still at the Academy.
You know how it is, organizing everything takes time.
King Edmund: (Irritated) Time that I don’t have.
You should have been here hours ago.
Dav: (Intervening calmly) Oh, sorry, Your Royal Highness.
(Smirking maliciously) You see, I was busy enjoying an exceptional tea.
I really had to savor it slowly.
King Edmund: (Vein throbbing) Did you dare make me wait for TEA?!
Stefan: (Laughing under his breath) Apparently, it was really good.
Dav: (Provocative) I hope your wait was as pleasant as my afternoon, Your Majesty.
King Edmund: (Clenching his fists) DAMN YOU!!!
Stefan: (Thinking) And this is just the beginning...
[The King ends the call.]
Stefan: (Laughing) Now he’s really furious, AHAHA!
Dav: (Laughing) This just makes my day even better.
(Standing up) I suppose we can leave now.
I’ll go get the two people.
Stefan: (Sipping his tea) I’ll wait here.
[Library]
[Entering the library, Dav opened the door and got hit in the face with a book.]
Dav: (Sarcastic) Oh, look, this page talks about a librarian who apologizes for throwing a book at someone’s face... Very interesting.
(Shouting) Have you gone mad?! You don’t throw books!
Valeria: (Shouting) Have we gone mad?! YOU ALMOST KILLED US, YOU BASTARD!
(Pointing at Lucrezia) She fainted! She sat there the whole time, hugging her knees and crying in fear!
Lucrezia: (Trembling) That wasn’t an aura! What was that thing?!
Dav: (Smirking) A demon appeared and tried to kill us. Fortunately, I stopped it in time!
[Another book to the face.]
Dav: (Shouting) Why don’t you believe me?! Stop throwing books!
Valeria: (Funny face, shouting) Try comforting Lucrezia!
Dav: (Forcing a reassuring smile) Lucrezia, look at me.
Lucrezia: (Shouting) Who is this monster?!
Dav: (Heartbroken) And I even tried my best...
(Hugging her) I’m sorry. I lost control for a moment... It won’t happen again.
Lucrezia: (Crying) O-Okay...
[Gently touching her head, he held her tightly to calm her down.]
Dav: (Soothing her) Breathe, close your eyes...
(Thinking) Good, she’s calming down. Now I have to deal with that lunatic who throws books.
(With a charming look) Valeria, I’m sorry.
(Hugging her) Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?
Valeria: (Pulling his cheek) Idiot! Don’t ever try to kill me again!
Dav: (Thinking) Damn, I can’t believe that actually worked! I should hug people more often, ahaha.
Valeria: (Watching him with a raised eyebrow) You’re thinking something stupid, aren’t you?
Dav: (Smiling, bringing his lips closer to hers) About you.
Valeria: (Kissing him) Now you won’t get distracted.
(Thinking) Kissing him feels so good... But who knows what he’s plotting.
Dav: (Thinking) Valeria is taken care of too. Now I can travel in peace without sharp glares.
