"I wonder whether those guys will one day understand that I can slip away from their attention without breaking a sweat," I muttered with a smirk plastered on my face.
Today was day-off.
It had been two days since Milleia's Event ended and since then, it was like a weight had been pulled off of my shoulders. Her event was on my mind since the beginning of the year.
Why?
Because I absolutely wanted her to awaken her bloodline.
The faster she awakens, the better are our chances to survive and beat Delavoic. Thankfully she did awaken though it was a little more difficult because of her lack of confidence in herself. Still, my words affected her so much that I was surprised.
Anyway, Milleia awakened and Rubina Scarlett was alive so it ended well in the end.
About Jayden's duel against Thomas, I heard that though Jayden was losing at first, the latter awakened and managed to beat Thomas. It's a sha that I couldn't witness his awakening but it was another good news for nonetheless. Both Milleia and Jayden awakened their bloodline. They were ready for the Dungeon Event in a few days. At least I hoped so. There was a real chance of Milleia dying after all.
[Are you ready?]
Of course I am.
'In the case sothing goes wrong Cleenah will be there, right?'
"..."
I tried to make her speak but still not.
It had been two days since she spoke to and I had to admit that I felt lonely. I an she always spoke to since she appeared so…
She is still angry at my lack of prudence.
I had already apologized though?
[It wasn't enough.]
Why do I feel like he is hiding sothing from ?
While frowning suspiciously, I slid my white blindfold on my eyes. Now, I had the sa look as when I fought against Pyres from the Iris Project. White hair and a blindfold hiding my eyes. The blindfold which was available in the SHOP and I instantly bought it. It was reminding of my Third Legacy, the scary Goddess with dark hair and a black blindfold.
Anyway, if I was wearing that disguise now it was because I had my usual eting with Aurora to take care of my Familiar in their eggs.
Usual eting yeah…
Few days after my fight against Pyres, I asked Elona to help with my Familiars. I didn't know how to take care of them and they needed the maximum of care to hatch in a perfect form so I asked my younger sister to help since her Familiar was in a good form.
The latter told to co to a particular restaurant to et up but I wouldn't have guessed that the one waiting for was none other than Aurora! I called Elona and she told that Aurora was the better choice to awaken my Familiars as she was an expert in that domain thanks to her mother. Then without any choice, I put on my disguise as Amael to et up with her, a month ago?
It seems that Elona asked Aurora to help (Amael) and the latter didn't even hesitate as she felt indebted to since the fight against Pyres. At first, it was awkward but a few days later, I started to give up the stiff deanor, like myself without revealing any hint of being Edward and I had to admit that it was nice to talk to her. She was definitely more chatty than when we were children but she was still the sa kind yet regal girl.
Sohow, I felt nostalgic when speaking to her. It reminded of our childhood when we were playing together with the others in the garden of the Royal Palace.
….
….
….
"..."
The place where we planned to et was the usual restaurant. It was Aurora's favorite restaurant and we used to eat there every ti before she helped with my Familiars. Of course she would never tell that it was her favorite restaurant. I knew that from the Ga and my sister who was unusually noisy when I t up with Aurora.
The reason why I was so quiet and standing motionlessly in front of the said restaurant: Angel's gourt, was because of what I was seeing through the window inside the restaurant.
Aurora, punctual as usual, was already there waiting on a table while reading the nu card but what was catching my eyes was the girl sitting in front of her.
Elona…
What the hell was she doing here?
Until now, she never appeared in any of my etings with Aurora. She just played the interdiate between and Aurora. Of course Elona knew that I was Edward and only Aurora was unaware of that. Fortunately. I an she would have never accepted to help if she knew who I truly was…
[No. She would have helped you since you still saved her life. From what I know from Aurora Avia Celesta, there is even a high chance of her forgiving you.]
'Forgiving ? Impossible.'
I humiliated her so many tis despite being engaged to her that I don't even know if she had an ounce of sympathy for . If she had though, it must be only because of her close relation with my sister.
Speaking of my sister, she sure has free ti.
Whatever!
"Stop."
When I tried to enter through the glass' doors, a man in a black suit stopped .
This guy…
"You know . I'm a regular client," I said to him.
"Several important people are gathered there, commonerds are authorized but need to be thoroughly checked, Sir."
His 'Sir' was sure sarcastic.
Those third-rate guards are present everywhere in this kingdom.
"He is with ," Coming from behind him was Aurora in her disguise. She looked really beautiful with her brown hair tied neatly behind and her white skirt fastened with a brown belt.
"My Lady, I just nee-"
"He is with ." Aurora said again while showing a badge with the royal emblem. Of course, no one here except and Elona knew about Aurora's identity so the guard's face turned stiff upon seeing the Royal emblem of Celesta.
The guard turned toward and slightly bowed his head. "I apologize for my rudeness, Sir."
"Yeah," I shrugged and followed Aurora.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, it's a very guarded restaurant, Amael." Aurora sighed.
"I know, Princes-Avia," I quickly corrected.
Since I was a child, I always called her Princess though I had that rebellious period when I called her directly Aurora but sohow I felt used to calling her 'Princess'. Must be my upbringing as the Duke's son or sothing else?
"You are still blundering here and there, Amael," Aurora said with a giggle.
"Are you going to sentence to death, Milady?"
"I'm not such a brute, Amael," Aurora replied amused by my words.
I smiled and turned my attention toward my sister who was shalessly waving her hand at from the table. "May I know Milady, why is Miss Elona here?"
"Oh, Elona. She was bored so she called . I told her that I had the usual with you but she didn't seem to care and wanted to be there as well." Aurora sighed in exasperation. "She is really becoming a spoiled girl…like before…" Her mutter reached my ears.
I see…so she was bored huh?
Should I just rat everything out to that useless so-called brother and my shitty father?
"Oh! Sir Amael! It has been a while. Thanks again for the help back then!" Elona thanked without giving any hint of my identity.
"I'm already padi back endlessly thanks to Lady Avia's help so you don't have to thank anymore, Lady Elona." I replied and sat next to Aurora.
"Order anything you want, Amael. Elona will pay for us."
"Hey! Aura!"
"I was the one paying until now Elona. It's your ti now." Aurora shook her head vehently.
"How about Amael, then?" Elona threw the ball to the surprised with a snarky smile.
I will definitely rat out everything.
"It would be my pleasure to treat such lovely ladies," I acted like a true gentleman and took out my card which was filled with Aunt Belle's money.
[You don't deserve her.]
How many tis are you going to repeat that?!
I will eventually-
[You said the sa thing six months ago but nothing has changed in your situation except your weight.]
I should create a body for him first before Mary to beat him up.
"Oh!" Elona clapped her hands. "Lovely ladies? Look Aura, Amael is trying to seduce you."
Seduce who?!
"Lady Elona sure is good at joking," I laughed while promising myself to punish her later.
"..."
"Aura?" Elona called out to Aurora who was unusually silent.
I looked at Aurora and she was wearing an expression I had never seen before.
It wasn't a sad one but a lancholic one?
