Chapter 116: It's been so long...
"Wasn't it risky to do that with the Apollo Familia?" I was lying on my bed together with Lili. I had just told her everything I had done at the banquet. She thought it was funny, but she was also worried, as was Bell.
"Maybe? Apollo may try to do something, but I can handle it. To be honest, I'm waiting for him to do something..."
"You're waiting?"
"Yes. He would not forgive someone who did what I did. Besides, he was already planning something from the beginning. I just sped things up." The story may have changed, but I cannot know that.
"He was planning something? How can you be sure of that?"
"That's a secret." I stroked Lili's head and then stood up. "I think I'll go out for a while. I'm in the mood for some drinks...I drank only wine at that banquet anymore."
"I didn't know you were so fond of alcoholic drinks."
"It depends on the drink; some are tasty. Do you want to come with me?"
"No... I don't like to drink. But if you want me to come, I wouldn't mind."
"You don't have to force yourself to go. I'll be back in a little while." Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
"See you later."
It was dark outside. It had been about an hour since I had arrived home. I told Lili I wanted to drink, but I had other plans.
During my dance with Tiona, I had arranged to meet her today. I left the banquet early, but Tiona was probably waiting for me by now since it had been an hour.
'But I'll change this outfit before I go.' It was an elegant and beautiful outfit but a little uncomfortable. Besides, it is not an outfit that suits where I'm going.
"All right. So, shall we go to an inn, or do you want to eat something first?" I gave a smile. Tiona's face turned red, and she looked at the bartender. She was embarrassed, but the man didn't care about anything.
"I ate enough at the banquet. But before we go, I wanted you to tell me what was all that..."
"You mean what I did to Apollo? I just told the truth. He kept looking at me in a disgusting way."
"Yes, I know you are telling the truth... Still, you are bringing trouble to your Familia. Wasn't Hestia annoyed by that?"
"Nop. Now shall we go?" I put the money on the table and grabbed Tiona's hand soon after, leading her out of the bar.
"Hey, wait." Tiona was surprised but didn't try to get rid of my hand. I led her into a dark alley beside the bar and threw her against the wall. Her face was as red as a tomato. Her body was burning.
I put my hand on her cheek.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"It's just that it's been a while since we did this, and we're outside... Someone might see us." Despite her words, Tiona's eyes were full of desire. I smiled and then kissed her on the mouth.
A quick kiss. After, I walked out of the alley.
"Let's go to an inn."
"Oh, okay." Tiona finally recovered and started walking after me. We would go to the nearest inn. Now that I can't control people, I won't be able to make people forget about the two of us entering a bedroom.
Rumors might arise.
