CHAPTER - 98


    Edmund: Arthur, make sure to learn everything from him and qualify for the tournament.


    You''re very strong now, but strategy is the most important part of war.


    Arthur: (Composed, head held high) Yes, Father!


    Edmund: (Sighs) Go pack your things.


    You''ll have to leave tomorrow.


    [Meanwhile, Dav]


    Dav: (Hungry) I still feel hungry after that training.


    Selene: (Surprised) Oh? Maybe you didn’t eat enough earlier, with all that commotion…


    Let''s go to the kitchen, I’ll have something good prepared for you!


    Dav: (Funny face, sitting on the ground, looking away with a hand on his cheek)


    I’d like a burger and fries...


    I’d rather go somewhere instead of feeling tense, sitting alone at a long table, hehe…


    Selene: (Thinking) Outside, huh?…


    (Looking at Dav) Alright, let’s go somewhere not too fancy then.


    Though dealing with people''s stares might be a problem.


    Dav: (Funny face, raising his lip) Then we should disguise ourselves better.


    Selene: (Curious) What do you mean?


    [Outside the royal castle]


    Dav: (Hat, black sunglasses, hands on hips, mask) We’re ready!


    Selene: (Blushing, mask, hat, black sunglasses) I feel a bit uncomfortable, but at least we’ll be able to go somewhere without being disturbed.


    [Arriving in town]

    Selene: (Happy) What a nice day today.


    Let’s go there, that place looks good.


    [Entering the restaurant]


    Dav: (Looking at her) I’m sorry for dragging you along...


    You’re probably not used to the low-quality food in places like these.


    Selene: (Raising an eyebrow) What? I usually buy tons of instant ramen and eat them when I feel bored or hungry.


    I don’t particularly care for fine dining.


    Dav: (Shocked, yelling) Really?!


    Selene: (Embarrassed) You can laugh if you want, but I like them…


    Dav: (Happy, grabbing her shoulders) I love them too! I bought so many a few days ago, and when I have time, I eat them while watching TV.


    Selene: (Funny face, surprised) Which flavor do you like?!


    Dav: (Hand on chin, thinking aloud) I prefer the chicken ones with spicy sauce.


    But the cheese ones aren’t bad at all.


    Selene: (Happy) I love the cheese ones!


    Dav: (Laughing) When we get back to the academy, I’ll make sure to invite you to eat them with me Ahaha.


    (Pointing) Let’s sit back there.


    Waitress: (Smiling) What can I get for you, sirs?


    Dav: (Happy) A burger, fries, and a sugar-free drink.


    Selene: (Embarrassed) The same, please…


    Dav: (Looking around the restaurant) I wonder how big the burger will be.


    Selene: (Curious) If I may ask, why did you refuse the Queen’s request to join the royal guard?


    Dav: (Glancing at Selene, shifting his eye) What a drag it would be to stay there.


    I prefer traveling and meeting extraordinary and strong people like you, Selene. (Small smile).


    Selene: (Embarrassed) I''m glad you think I''m extraordinary...


    (Serious) I envy you a lot, honestly, for your freedom.


    I’d love to travel and become stronger.


    [Waitress arrives]


    Waitress: Here you go, sirs.


    Dav: (Chewing) Then come with me if you want.


    I’ll make sure to have you working hard, hunting monsters with me once I leave the human world Ahaha.


    Selene: (Happy, excited) Can I really if I want to?!


    Dav: (Looking at Selene with a funny face, chewing) I''m not your father to forbid it, am I?


    Selene: (Happy) I’ll consider your offer.


    I want to think about it a bit more first.


    Dav: (Drinking) No rush.


    I’ll leave once all my students graduate.


    You have plenty of time to decide.


    [Two hours later]


    Dav: (Happy) That was a good meal! We can head back to the castle now.


    Selene: (Thoughtful) Traveling…


    (Looking at Dav) With him…


    (Smiles) Honestly, it wouldn’t be bad at all.


    Dav: (Adjusting his mask) You look happy, Selene.


    Selene: (Smiling) It was a good meal.


    [Back at the royal castle]


    Selene: (Tired) We’re back.


    I’m going to rest a bit and take a bath first.


    See you at dinner.


    Dav: (Waving) Alright.


    [Dav searches for Valeria and Lucrezia for several minutes]


    [Entering the dining hall]


    Dav: (Thinking) Where could they be?...


    (Surprised) What are you doing sitting there with the Queen?


    Lucrezia: (Smiling) We’re having tea with the Queen, and it’s really good.


    Valeria: (Sipping) Truly excellent.


    [Both looking at Dav with sharp eyes]


    Valeria: (Demonic face) How was your lunch, Davy?...


    Lucrezia: (Scary face) Exactly, how was going out with the royal guard?...


    [Closing the door, feeling heavy under their stares]


    Dav: (Fear) Enjoy your tea, ladies…


    See you later.
