"Emilia-sama"

The carriage is stopped in front of Roswaal resident in the capital, Rem open the door and want to inform Emilia when she is surprise with the scene inside of the carriage.

"He is really cute when sleep right? This is the second time i see it, he must be very tired because he never let his guard down like this"

"Is Arthur-sama alright? Maybe he fell sick?"

"No, maybe he think to much so his mental fatigue is catch up, he look uncomfortable before. When he fell to my ŀȧp i suprised and want tk said something but when i see he become calm i held it back. Such bad knight, use his lady as a pillow ŀȧp" replied Emilia while her hand crease Arthur hair on his forehead. "You can leave and take a rest, Rem. Don't work to hard because there is not many things we need to do and there is no one who will come"

"Rem understand, Emilia-sama"

Rem replied politely and close the door softly

'Not just his rival is to strong, but his target also have a feeling for his rival without know it, well Rem will be in his side when he is realize all of his effort is for naught, now let's make a food first'

"Subaru-kun, Rem will help you"

"How can i let you bring it as a man!"

"But Rem is stronger than Subaru-kun, so we can work in different thing if we complete it as soon as possible"

"It's not about who is stronger but it's about my honor as a man!"

"Duh, Subaru-kun is very stubborn, Rem will go to kitchen and make a food, if Subaru-kun done with your honor you can help Rem in the kitchen"

"You can't belittle me like that Rem"

"Subaru-kun is very cute when he trying his best, so how can Rem belittling him?"

"Ano.. Rem, i happy with that, but call a grown man cute is have a very high damage to the heart you know.." replied Subaru with helpless expression.

After Subaru done with the luggage he come to the kitchen

"What do you need me to do, Rem"

"You can wash the utensils, are you didn't need to rest first, Subaru-kun?"

"I'm not that weak so you didn't need to worry, but come to think of this, i didn't see Emilia luggage"

"She didn't bring anything with her, also from the way you ask, are you check what is inside in every bag?"

"Ho..how you doubt me like that?! I didn't do anything!"

"If Arthur-sama know you check the luggage for see Emilia-sama cloth, i think even if Rem beg for you, you will lost some of your limb"

"Can you not said limb with a knife on your hand?! Seriously it's bring trauma to my heart"

"But Rem is serious"

"Rem, do you know how he can become Emilia knight?"

"We also didn't know how Arthur-sama became Emilia-sama knight, because when she comeback from capital, Emilia-sama bring him and introduced Arthur-sama as her knight"

"Why she is so careless like that? How can she just picked up someone from the side and make him his knight"

"Putting aside your jealousy, Arthur-sama is strong is a fact"

"I know someone who is stronger than him, also even if he is slightly stronger than Emilia i think it's still not enough" replied Subaru stubbornly

"Roswaal-sama is a greatest magician in the kingdom but he doesn't want to battle with Arthur-sama because he not have a hundred percent confidence he will come out as a winner"

"That weirdo is strongest magician?!"

"You can't call your own lord as weirdo, Subaru-kun"

"Rem, do you want to tour around capital with me tomorrow?" Subaru tried to change the subject of conversation

"Rem want to, but we need to ask Emilia-sama permission first"

"Don't worry Rem, Emilia will permit it, i know she will"

'Poor Subaru-kun, he didn't know he doesn't have a chance' Rem didn't stop her hand from cooking and become a good listener for Subaru.

Arthur open his eyes and feel his head rest on something that very soft, he remember it clearly, the cushion on this carriage didn't feel this soft.

"Are you awake already, Arthur?"

"I awake, but i don't want to leave this soft pillow"

Arthur once again pretending to close his eyes

"It's embarrassing when you said it also wake up please" Emilia pinches his cheek and force Arthur to leave the soft sensations he feel right now.

"Thank you, Emi. It's must be hard on you, do you need me to carry you?"

"I'm fine so that not need, let's go inside, Rem look like already make a food for us"

"Are you sure you want to pass it? It's a very rare chance you know"

"Hehe, what are you talking about, let's go inside"

"She brushes it off just like that..."

Arthur follow her helplessly after his generous offer is reject.

After finishing their food Emilia decide to study and Arthur go to city to sightseeing because this is his first time in noble district.

The layout of the city is more in order, not like the city outside of noble district. The number of guard who patrol here larger too, because of his uniform Arthur didn't attract too much attention even if he is new face here.

There is not much place to see so Arthur feel bored, but something catch his attention, there is a girl with orange cat ears along with a tail and wears a white robe looking left and right with confused expressions on her face.

"Are you getting lost, little girl?"

"I'm not a little girl! And mimi is not getting lost! Mimi just separate with other!" The little girl replied with a tone like she didn't feel worried about it.

Ofcourse Arthur know who she is but he doesn't want to dubbed as a strange uncle who want to trick a little girl.

"So your name is mimi? Well i can help you find your companion, do you know where they stay for the night?"

"We stay in a very hige place for everyone! It's really huge you know!"

"Well that's... really helpful clue..."

"Well you don't need to worry, hetaro will find mimi, what's your name uncle?"

"My name is Arthur, but can you call my name instead of uncle? I'm still in my twenties "

"Hmm? But all of your hair is white.. it's very strange... *grumble* oh? It's seems mimi is hungry again"

"If you call my name from now on and didn't call me uncle i will take you to place where you can eat as much as you want"

'I feel like i was the essential of the strange uncle'

"Really?! Then let's go eat Arthur!" Replied Mimi enthusiastically

"Your change is very fast, well then wait a bit, i will ask a guard where is the place with good food"

After Arthur ask certain places to the guard who patrol, he bring Mimi to a place that can be said as a restaurant, and Mimi order the food unceremoniously.

As Mimi enjoy her food several figure entering the restaurant, but the most noticeable one is a petite woman with blue green eyes and long, wavy purple hair that extends to her hɨps. She wears a long white dress with a fur hat and scarf along with a large purse shaped like a wallet. She also wears a star-shaped hairpin on her hair. She is described to have cute looks and an aura similar to a small animal.

"When i heard from guard said someone want me come to certain place if i want find Mimi, i think it's a kidnapping but i was wrong it seem"

Arthur know who she is, one of the candidates to become queen, Anastasia hosin.

"Well, if i said it in another way, maybe you just send one of your subordinates, so can you forgive me for waste your precious time, will you?"

"Can i take that as you know me?"

"The head of the hoshin company, Anastasia Hoshin, right?"

"Hmm, then what do you want after you lure me here?"

"You're really just talking about profit, well i have several way to make money, but i didn't have a money and trade route, so i want make a trade alliance with you"

Arthur and Anastasia talking about business from what Arthur offered, how to process it, how to preserve it, and how much the profit will Arthur and Anastasia each other get from this alliance.

All of this conversation is complete when the moon is high in the sky.

"It's seem you choose this place because you are confident i will come?" Anastasia ask with smile because she feels satisfied with the outcome of previous negotiations.

"Well in here i didn't need to paid for anything if Mimi eat a lot of things "

"You didn't threat Mimi for free food?!" Mimi who seems very bored perk up her head with surprise in all of her face

"Haha, it's a joke Mimi, am i right, Arthur?" Anastasia ask with smile

"No, I'm serious here, maybe you think I'm a knight so i didn't need to wory about money, but you're wrong, even if i knight, i didn't need paid with money, no maybe it's better to said my employer is still not have money to paid me"

"Hooh... then do you want work in my place?"

"I will refuse, even if work with you and become a part Fang of Iron mercenary group is seems interesting, i will honor my promise"

"Hmm, i really like to met with a person who can have an interesting person like you"

"You will met with her in very near future, if that time is come i hope you can give me some face"

"It's seem you're work for a very interesting person" from her tone, Anastasia look like really anticipating their next encounter

"Mimi, i was said i will bring you to place where you can eat as much as you want, but i didn't said i will paid for it, so you better not too trust in stranger in case someone kidnapped you"

"Mimi is very strong so even if Arthur want to kidnap Mimi, you can't defeat Mimi" Mimi replied and point her staff.

"Even if she look like this she is very ztrong Arthur, well i must said you can't judge a book from the cover" Anastasia replied with a proud expression

"Well, that's proverb is apply for the way you judge me too. See you next time, Anastasia, Mimi"

After Arthur biding his goodbyes, he is vanishes from his place.

Anastasia guard who come to this place with her checking the surrounding of the restaurant when a loud footsteps is heard entering the room

"You all didn't need to search him, i didn't know how he achieve it, but he is really leave this place with the way we didn't know. You met with interesting fellow, Ana-bo" Ricardo said with loud voice but still can't hide his wariness to the previous person, because if the person like that decide to ȧssassinate Anastasia he can't find a way to intercept him.

"Isn't it more interesting to see him again next time?" Anastasia just look outside of window with mischief smile on her face

"I will anticipating our next meeting"
