Going back in ti a little. Right after Lensa left the trio alone at the city market.
“Wow, dude. I think the elf girl is falling for you. She was telling you she visits Moonview lake at the full moon and today would be no different. That’s an invitation for you to join her if you ask .”
Eren gave a firm pat on Ken’s shoulder after he got back to his team. Alra also smiled at Ken before saying:
“Ken, I think you should consider joining that beautiful elf. An elf’s affection is not easy to gain.”
The E-Ranker also encouraged the boy to go on a date with Lensa. But the boy himself wasn’t sure. He expressed his concerns:
“I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but look at this city and its people. The Faeruns carry a very large weight around here. It would be bad for all of us if things go wrong between and Lensa.”
Ken was an airhead when it ca to a few things. But he wasn’t stupid. He had already figured out who was the boss in the city of Silvermoon. And he wasn’t ready to put himself in harm’s way just to get on a date with an elf girl.
But Eren kept on encouraging the guy. He also used Alra’s opinions a few tis that worked to his advantage. Finally, the white knight said yes to the dark knight’s suggestions.
Alra soon bid adieu to her juniors. She figured they’ll need so alone ti to take so guy stuff between them. This was the mont Eren was waiting for.
He changed his direction after finding out there were a bunch of taverns that sold elf ales at the opposite side of where they were heading. Ken didn’t want to drink but Eren wouldn’t have no for an answer.
Eren and Ken got drunk heavily after finding a tavern. Ken thought Eren was on a drinking spree today as the latter had already drunk twice more than him. And yet, it seed that only Ken was feeling the drunken high while Eren was still in control of his senses.
Ken felt the F-Rank ale that they had just now was the most potent drink he ever had. He had only recently started drinking beers. But the elf ale was a huge step-up from that stage.
The white knight soon reached his limits. He thought he should close his eyes to just relax in that drunken stupor. And the guy imdiately followed the self-advice.
Ken didn’t rember what happened next after this point. He was too hamred to even breathe normally. His breathing pattern had gotten erratic as a result.
Eren looked drunk. But he had sent that F-Rank ale to Reen’s way so that she could keep it out of his system. That’s why the butcher was in full control of his senses despite savouring one of the most potent F-Ranks drinks he knew of.
Eren supported Ken in standing up and led him to an abandoned alley that had nothing at its other end. He dropped the latter’s body as soon as he confird nobody was looking out for them.
Then Eren went back to the Lamb Arms. he made sure to et up with Alra and told her that Ken had gone to the Moonview lake to et up with Lensa and have his date.
Eren also told Alra that he and Ken had drunk a little to make the latter’s pre-date jitters go away. The E-Ranker laughed at that sentence. She could see that the duo’s “little drinking ga” had been played for longer than they should have considering Eren’s current condition. A drunken condition that he had faked masterfully. Not just with his acting. But also taking Reen’s help in influencing the functions of his internal organs, so that it would be like he was dead drunk.
Eren retired to his assigned room soon after that planned encounter with the E-Ranker. He needed a witness that would testify that he was at the Lamb Arms, sleeping his ass off in his room at the ti Ken had gone to et Lensa.
Eren slipped off from the inn as soon as he made sure that there was nobody to keep track of his activity. Then he again went to the alley he had dumped the white knight at.
“Reen, can you control my appearance to make it look like him?”
Eren asked Reen in his mind after finding the guy where he had left him. Of course, he had his face hidden with the mask.
He wasn’t in full control of his shapeshifting abilities yet. So he asked his demon beast if she could help. Or if they could work together to achieve the intended result.
“You want to eat him, Eren?”
Reen asked with a tinge of hope reflected in her voice. She could finally get to have her favourite food if her master gave her a go. After all, she had to eat her victims to shapeshift into them impeccably.
“Um… soday. But not tonight. I just want you to help take the sa form as this guy. Alone we both would have so problems. But I’m counting on both of us working together to make this happen.”
“Hmph! Wouldn’t it be easy if I just ate him? Nobody would know what we had done here anyway.”
“You don’t understand, Reen. You are still naive in your thinking if you take everything at face value. Try to see past what you can see in front of your eyes.
I’m sure this assface has so defence chanism active on him that would get triggered as soon as he was in any real danger. The retaliation of that chanism should be able to hurt you if not outright kill you.
I’m saying that because I don’t see how an earl house is comfortable sending their important scion alone without any security detail. The fact that nobody is protecting him overtly and covertly solidifies my theory.
And second, we don’t want to create more ss than we want to in this situation. We are not blessed with this guy’s luck after all.
I know that we are not strong enough for a frontal retaliation. And I also know that we can not afford to get careless even when we feel that the coast is clear for us.
But rest assured, the wicked survive because they can’t be trapped for their misadventures. Hehe!”
Said Eren, before ordering his demon beast to help him take Ken’s form. They had to try a few tis before the appearance largely matched that of the white knight’s. There were so subtle differences but Eren was sure those would go unnoticed under the night’s veil. He was also counting on the fact that Lensa and Ken had only t briefly.
Like this, Eren pulled off doing the deed with Lensa while acting as Ken. And he was counting on the elf girl’s wrath to punish Ken after the way he parted from her.
