“Oh, right, you wouldn’t know. Due to half the contestants being assassins, the tournant was canceled,” Prince Rythilin explained, causing to frown. I an, I really wanted to fight the others….
“Anyway, I should take my leave. It seems both Princess Runa and your friend will pretend to be asleep until I leave. I will be in contact about our date.” My mind suddenly went blank as I watched the smirking Prince walk out of the room.
I think I might have been hearing things, but did he just say date? I do not rember agreeing to anything like a date! “Oh? So Faith likes the overly cute ones.” I turned towards the voice to see Runa giving a teasing smile.
“Adel will be sad.” Sophie’s voice entered my ear from the other side.-.
I was starting to beco flustered. “Hold on! I never said anything about a date. He only asked if we could talk more!”
“In the Kingdom of Lodinia, the way a man asks a girl on a date is by asking if they wish to talk more,” Runa explained, causing my expression to turn black.
“How was I supposed to know !?” I yelled. “Forget it. Runa, you go.”
“No, thank you! I do not wish to be hissed at by the Prince of the beast kingdom. His attendant and guard are very powerful. That rabbit girl only used three attacks to break all those barriers.” Runa’s words surprised . Even I have a hard ti breaking a barrier. This just goes to show how strong that rabbit girl is.
“I will send a ssage to Adel later… If she finds out about this from other sources, I think all hell will break loose.” Sophie mumbled under her breath, but I heard every word of it.,
“Why would it cause hell to break out!? Sophie, you are over exaggerating things. Anyway, since I said I will go, I will go, but I am not going alone. I never intended for this to be so kind of date, so even if he doesn’t like it, I will bring both of you with .” The last thing I wanted to do was get involved romantically with any kind of royalty from another kingdom. I would not and can not betray the kingdom I live in by doing so.
I will also not allow myself to beco so kind of tool to be used to make ties with another kingdom. I won’t change my current goals for anything. I was born in this kingdom, and I plan to at least do what I can for it.
However, what happened today really does still bother . I an those eyes…. Fanmari’s eyes were still burning vividly in my mind, but it was not making feel anything anymore. I guess my skills have taken over or sothing. Although, I am not sure if they are or not. But I am glad that it did not erase that image. While it will always haunt , it will be a good reminder that this is what it ans to live in this world full of bloodshed.
Sophie looked at with a strange look before shaking her head and mumbling sothing else. I couldn’t hear her this ti because she spoke in such a low voice. “Anyway, you two are coming with . Maybe Thurul and Sei as well…. And Gesel and Fred.”
I really did not wish to be alone with Prince Rythilin now that he went and called our eting a date. I would never have agreed if that was the case. I got too much going on to care about such things or ti to deal with such headaches either.
“Haha! I can’t wait to see how sour his face will be when he realizes that he will not be with you alone.” Runa said while laughing.
“I guess you know Prince Rythilin?” I asked. As royalty, I would think she would know most of the other princes and princesses of other kingdoms.
“Mmm… Well, more like we got into a fight once. But that was when we were little. My father and mother took over to their kingdom for a eting between our nations to form a trade pact. It could have been left up to their subordinates, but my father was very curious about what a beast kingdom looked like at the ti.
“Well, during the eting, I was stuck with the Prince with nothing better to do. So I made him show around the castle. We were in an area near a small man made pond, and the Prince decided to try to touch my ears. And well, I don’t like it when people touch them as only your future spouse is allowed to touch them. So I kinda raised my foot and stuffed it in his face sending him flying into the pond behind him. Luckily it was not too deep, but as he was a catkin and well, he kind of got very angry and hissed at before attacking .
“Long story short, we both ended up with two black eyes and fat lips. We got a serious scolding that day.” Listening to Runa’s story made laugh. I an, just picturing the two fighting made for a funny image.
But sothing curious ca to mind. “How old is Prince Rythilin?”
“I think he turned fourteen this year? His race ages very slowly physically. Which is why he looks so young. He is kinda like you. While he is a catkin, he is from the two tailed race, which is a long lived race while normal catkin has the sa lifespan as humans.” Runa’s explanation explained it all. I thought it was strange how he seed to have the deanor of soone older. I guess this is why he seed older when speaking to him just now.
“Well…. I give you permission to push him into a pond when we go with to et with him. He deserves it after tricking into this date. Sly cat!”
