Chapter 31

Although Kais' outstanding cookings' smell was already bewitching, for someone who hadn't eaten for the last twelve hours, the delicious smell grew way too irresistible.

Overwhelmed by the scent in the air, Lennox slowly opened his eyes to meet with Everlys' face.

' her eyelashes are long and thick... I could make a brush out of them'

He stared blankly for a while until the loud chatters outside snapped him awake.

" did you see him bath before? Does he really have something in his pants?".

Lennox face suddenly darkened ' what the heck are they talking about '

"ohoooo, he does, he does. But you will need a telescope to see it, hahahaha"

' is this the type of conversations elite knights should be having?'

" how long was it? Yeah, two inches, hahahaha".

With a deep sigh, Lennox pulled out his hand from Everlys' grip then reached to his slippers. And while their laughter was still echoing in the empty land, Lennox kicked the door and stepped out of the carriage.

Wearing an unreadable expression, he said threatening:" may I ask why the hell I am waking up to a conversation about little d**ks?".

Everyone jumped on their feets, that's it, this is their moment, they are going to die.

With absolutely not sincere smile Lennox said:" uh, now I have the urge to bury five people. But oh, what a coincidence, I have five people right in front of me ".

Just as he finished his sentence, Everly suddenly jumped on his shoulders warped with the blanket: "Aaahh, I smell something delicious ".

" get the hell off me, dumbass Everly!!!" Lennox barked.

Everly:" then don't stand in the way, move!".

Kai swallowed his dry saliva, nervously saying:" um, your highness, do you wish me to bring your meal inside the carriage?".

Lennox, who is so annoyed by Everly, was about to pull her hair, but withdrew in the last moment, satisfied by just pinching her. He answered:" no need I am eating outside ".

Kai wasn't actually asking, but was telling him that he will get his dinner inside. Normally, when serving nobles, their fancy meals are supposed to be brought in their luxurious tents. However, Lennox returned the tent that Kai prepared saying that he was more comfortable in the carriage, which Kai couldn't accept but also couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing that Lennox forgot about the pants thing, kai decided to put a little more pressure.

Kai:" I believe that it would be more pleasant and enjoyable if you had your dinner in the carriage ".

Lennox responded indifferently:" no it's fine, I will have it outside ".

Kai:" if it's that you wish to dine with the lady, then I shall bring her meal inside as well".

Lennox:" Nah, just why are you so persistent ".

Kai suddenly broke:" 'CAUSE YOU ARE A PRINCE, GOD DAMNIT".

Lennox was taken aback by the sudden attitude, but his expression did not change.

Kai and the other knights, watered their hearts with tears hoping that at least he will keep Kais' corpse intact.

Lennox for some reason wasn't displeased with his words, instead, he said to Kai while his eyes following Everly who was sneaking a steamed bun:" well, I might be an imperial member but I don't really give a fuck about these trivial issues. I mean, I am not picky, food is food after all".

He said this then walked to Everly and bit the already bitten steamed bun, he said munching on it:" how dare you fill your stomach without me".

Distressed about the big bite Lennox took, Everly pouted:" you are not picky, you eat everything, fresh was it or wilted, green or brown. You swallow everything in your sight ".

Veins popped on Lennox's face, he said with suppressed anger: "you have been on my nerves lately, what is wrong with you ".

Everly:" nothing, I am just being honest as your friend ".

Both of them kept biting each other until the end of the dinner, and as if a war never raised, Lennox and Everly acted as they normally did.

To proceed with the mission, Lennox decided to head first and examine the mist formation, but was stopped by Kai, arguing that he should wear an armour instead of a pyjama and slippers.

In the end, Kai could only persuade him to change his slippers to proper shoes.

Lennox tied a belt around his waist, and from the bag that is hanging on the belt, he pulled a card with a magical circle drawn on it. He poured some mana on the card making the magical circle glow, and in a blink of eye, Lennox disappeared and appeared again far from them, next to the mist.

"Aah, don't leave me behind, you meany".

Everly who was busy trying to fix her own belt instantly leapt a long and high jump to land just next to Lennox.

Ethan stared at Everly while she was crossing half a mile in one hop, he sighed in awe:" kids these days are scary, man".

Noah agreed:" damn right, at their age I was still wetting my bed".

Kai called for them:" guys, come on. We need to follow them as well".

When Sandro was done putting on his armour, he walked to Kai asking: "by the way, who is that little girl, she always makes the background turn pink".

Kai elbowed him saying:" hey, call her young lady or something. I heard his highness and sir Oliver talking, it seems she is his majesty the emperors' guest, but the prince is suspecting her to be his sister ".

Michael joined the chat asking:" why would he think so?".

Kai:" my sister told me that his majesty is treating the lady too well, and they are quite close, let alone, she is ten years old ".

Sandro:" ten? No wonder the prince was so relaxed around her".

Michael: "yeah, he always had that untouchable aura around him, I never saw someone being friendly to him aside from general Egerton ".

Kai clapped his hands saying:" ok, this is not our business people. So let's just get going... HEY ETHAN, NOAH, MOVE YOUR ASSES".
