Chapter 129: 129. Arthur And Aslan.

"So, which clubs are you two going to register for?" Arthur asked Orion and Aslan as they approached a teleportation array.

"I can't really say right now because I need to know what all the main clubs are about before making my final decision," Aslan was the one who replied to Arthur's question.

Arthur nodded his head in understanding before asking. "But you'll be registering for only the main activity clubs, right?"

"Of course, I will. I need to earn as many points as possible, what about you, Your Highness?" Aslan asked Orion who was walking in front of both Arthur and Aslan while they trailed behind him.

He stopped walking before turning around to look at the two students who had been following him since he stepped out of the classroom. "Why are you two following me?"

Aslan and Arthur exchanged glances before turning back to Orion. "Aren't we all going to the same place?" Arthur asked.

"It will be a lot better to walk around with someone by your side, rather than walk alone, don't you think," Aslan added, but Orion shrugged before pointing at Dahlia.

"I have my attendant with me, so I'm not alone."

Dahlia was standing right beside Orion and the two of them were prepared to find the club Orion would be registering for. However, Arthur and Aslan didn't see anything wrong in looking for a club together, so they chose to continue walking with Orion.

"It's fine, Your Highness. There's nothing wrong with us tagging along with you. Who knows, we might even register for the same club, so we might as well get to know each other now."

Orion didn't say anything in response, instead, he decided to keep walking.

The earlier he registered at his desired club, the quicker he would be able to return to his room.

Evelyn would be coming back today, so he had to complete all the necessary requirements as soon as possible.

While walking, Arthur looked at Aslan as though he had a few things to ask the lion prince but didn't know how to phrase his question.

Of course, Aslan noticed Arthur's gaze, so he asked because he found it a bit strange for another male to be looking at him for so long. "Is something wrong? Why do you keep staring at me?"

"Why do you call Prince Orion, Your Highness, I thought the both of you were princes of your own kingdom?"

Even Orion was curious as to why Aslan referred to him like that and Dahlia couldn't help but listen to their conversation as well.

They were both interested in knowing Aslan's reason for doing this.

Aslan didn't refer to Orion by his rank anymore because he noticed how upset Arthur had been when he did that, and he didn't want Orion to feel the same way. So, he decided to refer to him in the most respectful way he knew, not minding the fact that they were both princes in their respective kingdoms.

"Father respects the elf queen a lot and he's spoken about how he believes she might be the first Apex Mage to rank up before the other Apex Mages. In my kingdom, it's rare to see the king respect someone the same way he respects the elf queen. But, since you're ranked number one, I know your mother must have trained you a lot just like my father trained me as well."

In other words, Aslan acknowledged Orion's strength but he was also interested in knowing just how strong Orion was; he wouldn't mind sparring with him once in a while..

Orion, Arthur, and Aslan immediately decided to begin searching around for the clubs they wanted to register in.

It wasn't too difficult because they all knew the club they wanted.

The academy could have asked them to register for their respective clubs through their smart bracelets, but because they wanted the students to have a broader idea of what each club was all about, they made the students register this way.

Fifteen minutes later, Orion was finally done registering for the club he wanted to join, so he left the arena with Dahlia by his side.

He decided to find a good place to sit and rest for a while.

His aunt was with Lucille, checking up on the things she'd done during her absence while Evelyn won't be back until later in the evening.

Also, since Orion had registered for the sports club, Professor Draco had asked everyone who registered to meet up for training later in the day.

'He seems pretty hyped up about this sports club,' Orion uttered in his thoughts while he reclined on the bench he was sitting on.

'I just hope it will be as fun as he said it would be,' Orion thought to himself before remembering Dahlia who was still standing beside him.

He noticed her looking around while standing beside him.

"Is something wrong?"

Dahlia flinched a bit because Orion hadn't talked to her all day and she hadn't really expected him to.

However, seeing that he had, Dahlia bowed and replied. "It's nothing, Your Highness."

"Are you sure? Then sit," Orion patted the seat beside him, urging her to sit by his side.

Dahlia wanted to let Orion know that she was fine standing, but she didn't want to say anything that would make the elf prince unhappy, so she sat beside him.

To be honest, Dahlia had been expecting Orion to have her removed as his second attendant.

'I wonder why His Highness hasn't had me replaced yet?'

'The Succubus Princess and the Lion Prince have already rejected the attendants given to them by the academy, so why has His Highness not done the same with me?'

Out of the top three students, who were given an attendant by the academy, Orion was the only one who hadn't rejected his attendant yet, and Dahlia couldn't think of a reason why Orion would want to keep her by his side.

Dahlia didn't see herself as someone whose face looked friendly. Her face made a lot of people around her avoid talking to her, hence why she flinched when Orion suddenly spoke to her.

She also thought that she wasn't beautiful and worthy enough to be standing by Orion's side because of the pain and suffering she had caused so many elves.

However, Dahlia would soon find out that Orion didn't really give a fuck about the things she had done in her past, and he certainly didn't think that she wasn't beautiful enough to stand by his side.
