1067 Words
We sit down at a reserved Table for two... The Restaurant that we go to is a high end restaurant that serve a high end meal...
Uggh... This type of Restaurant makes me a bit sick. Because I hate this 'Rich' Atmosphere... I mean, I have money to bought the place itself. But it's just... Not good...
I like the Rhea Absolut better. It's bigger, but only had one table. And a Massive one as well. Really pointing out that you should eat together on one table...
"Please, order as much food as you like."
I look at the menu after the Princess say that... And holy shit... Each menu is hundreds of money worth just for one menu... I can't order a lot of this...
So, I just get something that I have an Idea of... Meats. All kind of meats. Chicken, Beef, Duck and many more meat that I don't even know what meat...
And then, I just stay quiet. The Princess continue ordering her food and then after finishing. She finally look at me and continue the conversation.
"So... You want to know what are you going to talk about in the Audition. Right?"
"Exactly. Can you tell me about the specific matters that we're going to talk about in this Audition."
"Okay. So, The matters that my Father will talk to you guys about is the fact about the Aligh Noble Betrayal. Father has paid the Twin Blades of Guild to investigate them. But it seems like because the situation is much worse, Father would prepare to pay them more and you a lot as well...
He will try to keep the information of Aligh private... So the fact that the Orc Lord is previously his son is going to be kept away hidden from the public. Only couple of people know this truth including those who fight him... So from now, I hope you can keep this information hidden not for the sake of us. But for the sake of those who had passes. It's a bit of Forbidden knowledge that we don't want you to spread around.
And then, The Successor of the Aligh Government would be chosen between the four of you. But it has been determined that the one to succeed is you, Mister Alfredo Hagane. But of course, you're free to reject this role to become a Noble."
That's... A lot of information to collect right there. But it's cool. It's fine. I'm prepared to hear all of this to be honest. But the only thing that I care about is the Successor of Aligh.
I'm pretty interested on having Aligh. But I don't want to be the government and rule over a city. I'm an Adventurer and Treasure Hunter to boot. So I want to spend my time in Rhea Absolute and go around the world trying to find interesting thing with Mashura.
Anyway... Let's say it then...
"Regarding me succeeding the Aligh City... I have to say no. Offer it to someone else. As long as it's not going to be Me or Mashura. I'm fine with whoever you chose."
"Exactly. I know that you would say that. That's why, I will be taking over the role of the Government in Aligh City. In the first place~ I don't really like the Royal Capital because it's boring. So, Aligh City has been my number one pick if I move somewhere..."
You're the one going to take over the role of the head? I mean... That's fine... I guess? You're pretty useful if that's going to happen. Since now that you're indebted to me because essentially, I'm the one giving you the head of Aligh title...
"With you being the Head of Aligh Territory... Does this mean I get some special treatment when I go there?"
"Of course. But also, it's not just you that get special treatment. The other three is going to get special treatment. And that's not going to be in Aligh. It's going to be all over Alkem Kingdom. Since by now, the news of four brave adventurer slaying Orc Lord is already spreading toward other city as well."
That's a good news... Maybe... Just maybe... If my name is spread all around the Nation to the corner of it... There's a chance... That my Parents will recognize me and come to visit me...
I'm not hoping that they come back for sure. I just want to know... What are the reason they left me behind. That's something that I really want to know... Just that...
But even if I don't get the answer, that's fine too. I have better thing to take care... Mashura...
"Well, just think of me as your representation... I will be moving there with my Mother so that we can finally get away from this boring Royalty life."
"... I thought people want to lived a royalty life."
"Well, some people might enjoy it. But as I said, I come from a commoner Mother. We don't like to be treated Super well. Because it make it awkward for people to interact with other people. It's a shame, but that's the truth... Some people might enjoy it because they have inflated ego. But for us, we enjoy being down to earth person."
Well... I guess people have their own way of living huh... And because you said that you're going to be my Representation in Aligh... That gives me even bigger opportunity to get all the thing that I wanted to make my Prototype...
Anyway... We didn't talk much after that at all. Because we have no topics. So we just ate and quietly finished... After finishing the food, she just go back to her carriage and then go back to the castle... And with that, it's finished...
"Aaah. The food was great but the accompany is a bit awkward though..."
Truth be told, I don't really like eating with her. Sure, the food is enjoyable and whatnot. But I just generally don't like eating with other people...
I enjoy eating with Mashura because of obvious reason. But with other people... It's a bit hard... The Day is ending right now... Preparing to welcome the Night and probably the Moon Festival. I'm still waiting for the perfect timing for Proposing to Mashura.
I've made plan that I want to propose to her right when the Moon Festival is ending.
