Austin then left the royal secret storeroom with the youngest prince, Rueben. They were on their way to the victory banquet. Following them were the youngest prince's light-armored guards.
"Hey! Congrats, man! You even killed Abbott! You're fucking awesome, man!
You know what? From now on, I'll be at your service! Please accept me as your faithful servant!"
Dewey said, shoving himself in and adoringly looked at Austin. But everyone knew that Dewey was just flattering Austin and trying to be in the latter's good side.
"Thanks, Dewey. But you don't have to do anything for me," Austin replied politely.
"I insist, boss!
I'm serious. I look up to you and I will be your faithful servant from now on.
But of course, I would appreciate if you can also help me out in exchange for my service," Dewey told Tin in a low voice without even looking at him.
"Huh! Really?" Austin said in a sarcastic tone.
Austin realized that Dewey would gain more by being friends with him. Dewey would use Austin's strength to his advantage, so the latter just ignored his offer. Austin had so much in his mind that he didn't want to deal with such nonsense.
"By the way, it's been so long since you left the prince's palace.
I heard that the two ladies were looking forward to seeing you.
Do you have any plans on seeing them?"
Dewey winked at Austin with a sly smile.
"It's true! The two beauties were even asking me about you more than a dozen times a day!
You're really something, huh?
Now, I wonder what your secret is. Why are they so attached to you?
How come they don't pay so much attention to me instead? Am I that ugly?
I'm starting to get quite jealous. But since you're my friend, I promise that I won't pursue them.
I won't touch my sister-in-law anyway! So, take it easy, huh!"
Reuben joined the small talks and teased him, too.
'Sister-in-law?
Two beauties?'
Austin thought ab
sister after all. All she could do was to comfort Sue.
"Sue, trust me. He won't leave us. He's not that kind of guy. I'm sure he was caught up with something. After all, he had won the championship so he must be very busy right now.
Have faith in him. He'll come to see us as soon as he has time," Ivy sounded confident, but she wasn't sure if Austin would really come and see them after winning the championship. She had her hopes high but was also ready to be heartbroken if Austin decided to leave them for good.
"I'm going to tell you a secret, Ivy. I've been dreaming about him lately, and I think I'm falling in love with him. What should I do?"
Sue murmured.
"Oh, come on. Stop acting like a fool! Are you not ashamed of yourself by saying that?"
Ivy teased her, trying to make her happy.
"Ivy! Please, I'm serious. Stop making fun of my feelings!"
Sue blushed and covered her face with her hands.
Then she added, "Besides, I'm not the one acting foolish. I know you're more worried than I am."
"You! In case you have forgotten, I am your elder sister so please show some respect," Ivy smiled and started tickling Sue.
They laughed out loud. They were having a good time on their own and didn't notice that someone was already standing by the door.
