The next day, Keith woke up 4 hours late compared to the others. He glanced at his system screen to find out where the others were and walked out to knock on Caleb's door.
Once the door was opened, he saw everyone inside and there was an extra face that he was slightly familiar with.
"Adrian? What brings you here again?" he asked as he groggily walked over to the bed and sat down beside Caleb.
"My father invited you guys to co live in our mansion for the next few days." he said politely before smirking, "He just misses his cute little daughter that's all and this is just an ruse so he can get to spend so ti with her."
Keith nodded and looked at Alia who had a complicated look on her face, "I guess you're lucky to have such a nice father."
Hearing his words, she sighed in response, "Yeah I know, but what if that donkey second prince makes a huge deal out of this and tries to do sothing? I don't want my father to face difficulties because of ."
"Well, he'll have his hands full with the succession stuff to pay your father any attention anyways. I don't think you need to worry about him." he said as he gave her a thumbs up with a goofy smile on his face, which in turn brought a smile to her face.
"I guess you're right. I'm just thinking too deep into this."
"Oh wow, you're thinking?! Damn, looks like you have a functional brain. Would have been better if you used it more often."
"You're one to talk." she retaliated before chuckling, "Anyways, it looks like we'll have to pack up our belongings again but on the bright side, we don't have to pay a daily fee to stay here do we?"
Clara nodded, "Yes, but I'll miss the food. It's sooo good."
The group then went debating about he pros and cons of leaving while Keith silently watched. Once they were done and were ready to leave, Keith raised his hand.
"I have sothing to say. There's soone I must et in a bit and I'll be taking Clara with . Tell us where to co and I'll be there once I'm done with the job." he said and the people in the room had mixed reactions.
So had confused looks while the others were curious. Even Clara looked confused as she did not hear about any eting from him in advance.
Adrian nodded, "Sure, take your ti. Our mansion is close to the palace but let's see... just walk out of the market towards the palace and take a right on the wide road. There's only one road that's very wide so it'll be hard for you to mistake it.
Once you take a right, just keep walking until you see a mansion with a steel na plate right beside the gate that says Duke Arthur Toretto. I'll make sure to inform the guards about you so that you won't face any problems once you get there."
"Thank you." Keith said and got up from the bed before looking at Clara, "Let's go right now. Better to get things done early."
Clara nodded and turned to look at her roommate, "Alia, I'll leave the packing to you but I guess there isn't much to pack since I have everything almost ready."
"Yeah, don't worry. I'll take your things with ."
While everyone headed to their rooms to pack their things, Keith bid farewell to Caleb and Laura before leaving with Clara.
Once he was out of the Inn, he silently walked with her for a while. After walking through multiple alleyways, he finally spoke.
"She's been wanting to et you so... I thought this would be the perfect ti and excuse to bring her out." he said and leaned against the wall as he looked at Clara.
He could sense a sort of excitent in her eyes but he could also see that she was quite nervous. He chuckled and looked around before extending his hand towards her, "Grab my arm and I'll take you to her."
Once she did, he instantly took her to his spatial dinsion while his body also disappeared. Both of them appeared in front of the small house and they saw Miya playing with the goats.
In a way, it looked like she was herding the young ones but in reality, she was playing her own version of tag with them.
"Miya, guess who's here?" Keith shouted and saw her co to a sudden halt before turning around.
She then looked back at the kids and raised her palm, signalling them to stop, "Okay, I'll co and play with you later. Looks like papa finally brought mama to this place."
The kids looked at each other and gave her a sad look before they walked towards their mothers while Miya happily ran towards Keith.
"So, do you have a guess?" Keith asked once again as he hadn't heard what she had said to the goats.
Miya nodded and grinned, "Mama right?"
"Mhm, smart Miya." he praised her and lifted her up before looking at Clara, "So, what do you say?"
"Yeah, let's take her out of here. She needs to et people or I feel like there will be problems." she said before looking at Miya who was staring at her.
"So... um, my na is Clara." she said as she smiled awkwardly, the nervousness showing very clearly. Explore more adventures at empire
Keith couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this while Miya confidently nodded, "My na is Miya Zenister! Daughter of Keith Zenister and uh..."
She paused and blinked twice before continuing, "Clara Zenister?"
"Hahahahahahaha, technically yes but she's not a Zenister yet." he said before looking at Clara, "Though, she will be in the future."
Clara wouldn't stop herself from grinning when she heard both of their words. Her face turned bright red as she nodded, "Yes, in the future."
