After that, Alex caught up with Salieri and Stella who were already a few steps ahead of him. Next to Alex was Vincent who still couldn't control his clumsiness."Where are we going, Alex?" asked Vincent in the midst of his awkwardness.Alex, in his relaxed manner, replied, "I'd like to introduce you to my other friends first. They're in the pavilion, where we all rest.""You didn't take me to meet the magic researchers?" Vincent remembered that King Romeros had asked Alex to do this."After meeting my friends, I'll take you there," replied Alex. "You also have to get along with my friends. They're not scary, don't worry."Vincent felt that Alex was deliberately trying to make him blend in with others. After all, Vincent wasn't too used to crowds. And, maybe going along with Alex's plan would fix his awkwardness every time he met people a little."Is the pavilion far away?" he asked."Not really—for us. I don't know what

Unfortunately Vincent couldn't say that directly. Alex had already brought himself before King Romeros, which meant it was Vincent's responsibility to do his job.There was no way Vincent would back down before doing anything. Later it will risk sacrificing Alex's good name."Okay, it's late and I've brought you to the other magic researchers. So, my job is done," said Alex who ended his words with a relieved smile.The other magic researchers were whispering with beaming faces. They are still curious about Vincent's figure."I hope you can mingle and accept him here. Please understand that he needs a learning process," said Alex, continuing what he said earlier.After saying those words, Alex gave a farewell signal to the other magic researchers.The magic researchers agreed with Alex's words. They waved briefly, returning Alex's formal wave."See you soon, Alex!" replied Jarker who waved the most enthusiastically among

Stella continues to explain without noticing that Salieri's gaze is focused on her. Stella's voice of explanation becomes faint because Salieri sinks into Stella's beady eyes."...the direction you aim for can be adjusted if your hands are in the right position."Stella finished her sentence and only then realized that Salieri had not been paying attention to the bow. Salieri's eyes are very focused, too ... look at that sickening smirk!"You think I'm a crossbow?" asked Stella, bringing Salieri to his senses.Salieri immediately snapped out of his reverie. Realizing that Stella was watching him, Salieri detached his eyes and focused on his arrow training. But Salieri grinned even wider."You don't know that I admire your firm expression, do you?" Salieri deliberately pranks Stella.Stella's forehead creased, wearing a strange facial expression. There was no response from Stella for a few seconds."So you enjoy making my

"You don't want to come with us both to the wizarding school?" Alex's question came to Vincent after the candy and bidding session with Helena was over.Helena slung the bag strap over her shoulder, giving a small smile. Meanwhile, Vincent still looked stiff and doubtful about Alex's offer."If I come, I'm not one of the magical people," answered Vincent, who actually wanted to join. But feelings of doubt. because not belonging to the magicians made him rocked.Hearing Vincent's answer, Alex then exhaled harshly as his shoulders drooped. The look in his eyes at Vincent showed some embarrassment, but not really that serious. Seeing Alex, he had already told Vincent that Vincent was valuable even though he wasn't from among the magic-blooded people.For a few seconds watched by Alex, Vincent even more doubtful. He glanced at Helena and asked through a gaze. But Helena only glanced at Alex, smiled uncomfortably, and shook her head.As the situation became unpleasant, Vincent described th

Hector becomes increasingly alarmed. His shoulders pushed Horat's hand away, then shook his head. Secretly he hoped that this time the news that Horat was delivering would not be trivial news like the royal gardener had changed his lawn mower."I... I have some news, and I guarantee it will be interesting for you."Hector exhaled slowly. "You've been saying that since yesterday. But the news you're telling isn't important. All the news you're giving is trash."Horat smirked. "I make sure this trash from me is trash that you will keep carefully."Switching from what he was doing—because Hektor was tired of hearing news from Horat, Hektor looked back at Horat. Even though there was doubt, curiosity couldn't be avoided from the look in his eyes."It's about Alex," Harot's voice was a whisper.Hektor's eyes widened in interest. Just briefly, less than five seconds, Hektor's position was directly facing Harot."Alex? What new
