It seemed like Remina was immersed deeply in watching the training session at the military camp. A royal guard leaned toward her and whispered, “I apologize, Princess, but it’s almost time for you to get back to the castle.”Hearing those words, Remina was a bit reluctant to leave the scene, but she had a feeling that King Romeus had been asking for her to get back. She sighed a bit then responded quietly, “give me a few minutes.”The guard then nodded while still standing beside her to be on the alert when the princess asked him to. Remina kept her promise, and not long after that, she stood up which made everyone on the military field stop the training. Noticing this, Alex came to her and asked, “are you going now, Princess Remina?”Seeing Alex there, Remina politely responded, “I’m afraid so, the king might look for me if I leave the castle for too long.”“Let me accompany you until the front gate,” Alex offered and made the princess flutter a
That same evening, Hector rushed toward the royal advisor’s residence. Beads of sweat began to form around his forehead despite the chilly breezing wind. Upon arriving at the front door, the man knocked at it several times as he looked around, seeming paranoid and frantic. He waited for Horat to answer the knock as he muttered something incoherent under his breath.“Ugh, who could that be?” Horat groaned as he rose up from his seating to look at the person who knocked at the door. As he peeked from the window, Horat could see it was Hector who had come by, panic-stricken. As soon as he unlocked the door, his friend rushed inside and shut the door close before dragging Horat’s hand in panic.“What’s wrong with you?” he asked, half-whispering.Hector didn’t answer his friend’s question quickly since he was trembling heavily. He then sat on the couch staring at Horat with a worried look. “We should leave this place soon, Horat.”The royal advisor’s son nearly raised his voice after heari
Remina was sitting by herself at the desk, just finished the invitation for dinner. She waited for the ink to seep into the paper and dry entirely, then put it inside a grandiose envelope. She had decided to invite the hero for a dinner tonight, although it seemed a bit rushed. The thought of seeing Alex made her blush a little, she already felt tens of butterflies fluttering inside her stomach.The princess then handed the envelope to one of her trusty maids before saying, "please deliver this to Alex, I invite him for a dinner in this castle tonight."The maid then set out to Alex’s residence to send the invitation, accompanied by two guards. Arrived at the door, she knocked twice and waited for a moment. A rustling key sound was heard from the inside, followed by the creaking door that revealed the hero behind it.“Sir Alex, you have a dinner invitation tonight from Princess Remina.” the maid extended her arms to give the envelope to Alex. “You’re speci
By the time the sun had already set, Remina's maids were rushing into the kitchen, preparing the dinner banquet. The dinner won't take place in the main room since Remina wanted to have an intimate moment with Alex, so they used the smaller dining room in the castle that hadn't been used for quite some time."Have you dusted the chairs?" The princess asked one of the maids."Yes, Princess," she responded politely.Remina seemed satisfied, but somehow a glimpse of worry emerged from her eyes. She tapped the maid's shoulder and said, "go on, I think the cobwebs on the corners of this room need to go as well."The maid nodded before continuing to dust off the other area of the room. Other maids could be seen setting up the candelabras and lighting the candles, creating a romantic atmosphere. One of the maids spread a white tablecloth over the rounded table that was sat just by the tinted window. After that, a flower arrangement made from red roses and a baby's breath was put on the cente
Back at the house where Alex and his hero party resided, his friends were relaxing and enjoying each other’s company after a long day of training. Germio and Rasheed did arm wrestle while Salieri became the referee.“Tres, dos, uno! Germio, you lose!” Salieri shouted and grabbed Rasheed’s arm, then announced it loud and proud, “and the winner is Rasheed!”“Dang it! I have to pay for his food for the next week,” Germio mumbled as Rashed laughed in joy.The bard then noticed that Stella was sitting by herself, unlike Pandora that made conversation with Vincent. Salieri then called and teased her, “ey, Stella? Why are you quiet? Do you miss Alex?”Hearing Alex’s name, the elf girl could feel her cheeks getting warmer, but she was too stubborn to admit it. She glared at Salieri and replied coldly, “cut it off, Salieri.”Germio’s bitterness after losing the arm wrestle faded when he noticed that Salieri was poking fun at the elf. He jumped int
At the castle, Remina and Alex almost finished the delicious dinner. The princess patted her mouth with a napkin after finishing her meal. She gazed at the hero who was still enjoying the meal and smiled.“Thank you for coming, Alex,” Remina politely said.“I should be the one who says that, Princess.” Alex bowed her head after devouring the last chunk of the meal, then continued to say, “it’s an honor to spend a night with you, but I’m afraid I have to leave now. My friends would find me if I came late.”Remina pouted and looked sad. She refused to believe that her time with Alex should end now. The princess shook her head after thinking of a way to stall the time. “Why don't you stay for a while and accompany me to stroll for a while in the garden nearby? My royal physician says that it's not good to rest directly after eating since the food needs to be digested.”Hearing what Remina just said, Alex's laughter bursted. The way this lady talked about her physical appearance never cha
Alex couldn’t lie to himself, admitting that he indeed missed his lover. Even though this Remina didn’t have the same memories like him, Alex’s heart still belongs to her.He then half-whispered to Remina, “let’s go to the gazebo, shall we?”Alex helped Remina to get into the gazebo that looked over to the pond. He then reached into his pocket and found a piece of bread inside. The hero then offered, “I happen to have some bread in my pocket. Do you want to feed the fish?”Remina nodded and received some breadcrumbs that Alex gave. She then spreaded the crumbs to the water, causing tens of koi in the pond to swarm and took every crumb with nothing left. She giggled then looked at Alex. “Careful, they might splash.”The man then gave some more of the bread to Remina. A slight graze was made when he handed the bread piece to the princess and Alex got butterflies inside his stomach. The memory of his time with Remina as a couple in the past life stil
Alex held back his laughter hearing King Romeus’ response. He remembered deeply how in his previous life the king asked him multiple times, even begging Alex to marry his daughter, which happens to be Remina.At that time, Alex was actually enamored with Helene, but since she couldn’t get married due to her status as a priest at the shrine, Alex decided to let her go and start a new life with Remina.“I’m not letting my daughter marry someone who’s far from the royalty line,” King Romeus continued speaking as his old yet sharp eyes pierced through Alex. “She should marry a king, or prince from another kingdom and unite this world.”“What kingdom?” Alex nonchalantly responded, “the only kingdom left on this world is only Maleo. Your Majesty, if I were you I would think twice to marry my daughter off to a prince or king from one barren and miserable kingdom. Not to mention Maleo is filled with crooks and bandits, do you want to harm your own daughter?”<
