Chapter 125: Which Path
As the sun went down and the night dominated the sky, the gentle wind blew on us. I closed my eyes as I felt the gentle wind slowly brushing my hair. As I opened my eyes again, what greeted me was the scenery in front of us, the lights gradually brightening the dark place. As I looked up, what greeted me was the slowly forming starry sky.
A world of peace, huh? If I'm gonna be honest, that's one hell of a good idea.
I brushed my hair up and stared at Prince Dieter, his eyes were focused on the scenery in front of us, the lights inside the town of Agrona. His iconic pompous smile could not be seen. All I could see was a smile of satisfaction. As I shifted my gaze at Karoon, her eyes instantly shifted to me and expressed a wide smile.New novel chapters are published on
I slowly breathed out. "We should go home now. And you, Prince Dieter. I prepared an inn for you to stay in. You should go now to take a rest after this tiring day."
He looked at me with confusion written all over his face.
"Is there a problem?" I asked.
"And here I thought you would invite me to spend the night in your mansion." Prince Dieter said as his pompous smile finally emerged again on his face. "Don't worry, I will settle in any available room in your mansion."
My hands immediately moved and waved. "Nope."
The mansion is not mine. I don't want Tanya to look at me with her dagger eyes every time our eyes meet once I take someone in without asking her first.
"How cold. Is that how you treat a friend after traveling from a far distance? Aren't we friends now?" He shrugged.
I tilted my head sideways. "Maybe we are, but it's not an excuse I can tell to the owner of the mansion. If you really want to, you can ask her yourself." I too shrugged. "But good luck on that. I have seen her countless times now throwing people out of her mansion and believe me, her way of throwing people out is not something a human can survive."
Most of the time it's Mehrad and Leo the moment they start arguing inside the mansion, occasionally, including Leal if he somehow got caught up with the commotion. I was just lucky enough to not experience it yet... and I don't want to. The usual scenarios were them literally flying out of the mansion! All I could do was watch in horror.
He chuckled, even Karoon who was standing beside me chuckled as if I just cracked a very funny joke.
Yeah, sure.
"Then, I'll take my leave now. See you maybe tomorrow, Karoon, Lord Casimir." He turned his back on us and walked towards the direction of the Fang faction, to Mister Rudwick's inn. His hands were on his pants pockets while expressing a wide smile.
"Bye, bye, Prince Dieter!" Karoon waved her hands on him while jumping as we watched him slowly disappear from our sight.
I raised my hand. "Yo."
Misha immediately stood up and ran towards me to hug me. "Big bro Casimir!"
I squatted and smiled at her. "How's your day?"
"Great. As always. Big sis Tanya and I played tea party and many other games."
I patted her head. "It's great then."
I shifted my gaze to Tanya and found her being wrapped in Karoon's arms, she was staring at me, upon seeing that I stared back, she crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. "So, how was your... meeting?"
"It turned out fine. Karoon accompanied me. As expected, she pretty much ended up getting along really well with Prince Dieter. That's Karoon for you."
"Tan-tan, I've missed you!"
"I know, Karoon. But you should change, you smell like grass. Where grassland did you roll around this time?"
"Ehh?"
On the other hand, Misha smiled at me while her hands were connected while loose and swaying in the air.
I raised my index finger and smiled at her. "And oh, I brought something for dinner. We should eat now."
"Yay!" Misha grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the dining room.
Tanya stood up and both she and Karoon followed us. As she reached me while walking. She looked up at me while still crossing her arms.
"What is it this time? I hope it's not something that is still moving as we eat it."
I chuckled. "No. No. I won't bring that thing again."
Now... Which path will benefit everyone? Which path should I choose?
