The following day, Tobie assessed the workers who were still in the training stage.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Come in.” Said someone from behind the door.
"I came on orders from Mr. Tobie, to meet you." Lara opened the door and walked in.
“Please sit down, Miss Lara.”
“….” Lara sat on the sofa, and she saw a masked man pour a drink into a cup and give it to her.
“Please enjoy, Miss Lara.”
"Thank you, prince." Lara accepted the drink.
“This, it's so cold. Moreover, this tea has a citrus fruit taste." Lara enjoyed cold herbal tea for the first time.
"Where is the woman you were with last night?" The man was very curious.
"Sorry, prince, she is my sister named Reha. She's..." Lara was stopped when she saw the man asking her to stop by gesturing with his hand.
"Let's just get into the problem, Miss Lara."
The atmosphere changed drastically for Lara. Now she felt couldn't last that long.
"Is it tiring working in a restaurant, Miss Lara?"
"...For me, serving visitors is not tiring..." Lara stopped again.
"I thought the answer would be the same, like what Mr. Tobie heard from you and what he told me." The man-made situation is even worse.
“I heard that you settled down and lived in this restaurant. As well as having two jobs assigned.”
"Please forgive-"
Lara stopped what she was saying because the man was tapping the table with his index finger.
“I don't remember, asking you to speak up. Miss Lara, I am very grateful for your hard work all this time because you carried out your duties last night."
“….” Lara just remained silent and stared at the ground, realizing that she was going to be expelled.
"From this moment, you are removed from the waitress job."
“….” Lara felt devastated when she heard this, she wanted to know where the mistake she had made was.
“Thank you, prince. I will pack all my belongings.” Lara stood up and walked out the door.
After leaving the room, she shed tears and tried to be strong. While going down the stairs, Tobie came up to her because he saw Lara carrying luggage.
"The owner fired you?" Tobie was shocked by what Lara had just said.
"What did the owner say to you?" Tobie wants to know.
“Prince, fire me and expel me from my job as a servant,” Lara said that she was trying to be strong and make it seem like it was a normal thing for her.
“Why are you leaving?” Tobie was curious.
"The owner only hired you as a waiter, because you have two jobs at the same time as a caretaker on the morning shift," Tobie informed.
“….” Lara just realized this. She had misunderstood the words spoken to him.
Tobie asked Lara to return to the room. Following Tobie's words and being so sure of Tobie's words, Lara felt guilty because she had misunderstood him.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Mister Owner?"
Lara didn't get an answer.
“….” Opening the door slightly to peek, she no found one in the room.
“Lara, the owner is waiting for you outside. And ask you to put all your luggage in your room." What his co-workers said during the training was telling.
Lara returned to the room and put all her luggage there, then went downstairs in a hurry.
She was asked to accompany the prince to a place.
"Is there a problem, prince?" Lara looked at the man as if he was looking for something.
"I seem to have forgotten the direction to get to the shop Mr. Tobie mentioned earlier." Tell me the problem.
“Then, I will guide you there. Prince." Lara offered to guide.
“No need to call me prince, just call me Ivel,” The person told and asked Lara not to call him prince.
"My name is Lara, Lara Gresia." Lara introduced herself.
"Okay Miss Lara, can you guide me to the clothing store?" The person asked.
“My pleasure, Mr. Ivel.”
Lara led the way to the clothing store. That person deliberately made himself forget, to rebuild previously broken bonds.
On the main street, every Ivel saw a snack shop or something. Lara always saw the masked man stop and eat, Lara then asked Ivel not to waste money and time so much.
“We're here,” Lara announced.
“Is there a need to hold hands? I don't know which way to go." The person pretended to complain.
“This is done for good if it is like that. The street traders will crowd around you and ask you to spend some money which will be given to them.” Lara told him why.
CLING!
The sound of the doorbell was heard.While inside, the two of them heard complaints from someone who claimed to be a noble.
“Is it so hard to sell me all this crappy stuff for one gold coin!?” A noble complained to the old man standing at the cashier.
"We can't give you a price like that, Mr. Tyou, the clothes you chose are very difficult and the materials are very rare." The old man standing at the cashier refused the offer given.
“Welcome to the shop, ladies and gentlemen…how can we help you?” Said the young girl waiter.
"I want clothes that are suitable for Miss Lara, she currently works as a restaurant manager," The person said.
“Understood sir, come on miss. Follow me." The servant asked Lara to follow her.
Lara followed the maid, and when the maid gave her clothes. Lara's eyes immediately widened when she saw the price was so high.
"Isn't this price wrong?" Lara wanted to confirm with the maid.
"The price is appropriate, this clothing is made of silk and linen." The servant informed.
“….” Lara closed her eyes and opened them again, thinking she had seen the wrong price.
As a result of the treatment, He laughed at her.
“No need to think about it, I will pay it for you. I invited you to this." The person told.
"You look wasteful in using money, I'm afraid you're using restaurant finances." Lara was a little suspicious.
“Then just choose the clothes you want, no matter how much they cost. I will pay without reducing the restaurant's income." The person told Lara. And gave her a bag of gold coins.
Hearing this, Lara immediately went to another place in the shop.
"Just give it quickly, I don't want to stay here too long." The nobleman said, continuing his complaint.
“Excuse me, I want to pay for these clothes.” The person brought a set of black clothes.
"It's worth two gold pieces," the old man said.
"Here is the money." He gave two gold coins.
“Hey you, wait.” The nobleman stopped Ivel in his tracks.
"Is there anything I can help?" The person turned his head and asked the nobleman.
"You have insulted me before my eyes, don't you realize that I am a noble?" The man rebuked.
"Insult? All I do is pay.”
“I was just paying, I didn't mean to insult—”
“I don't care, you've provoked my anger, bypassed me, and acted arrogantly towards me.” The nobleman interrupted Ivel's words.
"Miss, your lover is fighting with the Tyou nobles." The servant informed.
Lara went straight to Ivel, but she had already seen Ivel being forcibly taken out.
"I will take you to the noble William, to be tried because you have insulted and insulted the nobles." Tyou carried it by gripping Ivel's hand very tightly.
“I was just shopping, and had nothing to do—”
"Sir— " Lara was shocked to see the nobleman hit Ivel in the face until the mask he was wearing fell off.
The nobleman forcibly took him to the palace, where William was currently. Lara takes the mask, and He asks Lara not to follow it.
"Sorry to bother Mr. William." Soldiers came to William who still had business with royal guests, namely the three demon kings.
“….” The soldier whispered into William's ear.
“Allow the nobleman to enter,” William informed.
"Yes, Mr. William." The soldier immediately walked away from them.
"Is there a problem, Mr. William?" King Ligt was so curious.
“Sorry to make you take one look…”
William's words stopped because he heard a voice making a fuss about something.
"I will apologize if you feel insulted,"
"Hah! I won't let you escape once you're here. You just realized your mistake." The nobleman tugged at the arm of the person he was carrying.
“Insulting royalty is a despicable act, you could be punished by death.” The nobleman added.
“Noble Tyou, what is this matter?” William was confused.
“Teacher Vail?” Lina was so surprised to see the person the nobleman had pulled out.
Neii and King Ligt were also as surprised as Lina, they saw Vail in front of their eyes. The nobleman grabbed one of the man's arms.
“Master William, this person has insulted all the nobles and this kingdom. As well as vilifying members of the royal family.” Tyou made a baseless statement.
“Is what noble Tyou said true?” William wanted to make sure of the man that Noble Tyou brought.
"I-"
“Master William, criminals will not admit to their actions. Since I don't have much time, I will leave the punishment to you." Tyou wanted to hide his hands, so as not to be seen further by his previous words.
"Luckily I'm not judging you." Tyou released his grip and walked out of the palace.
“…..” The wrist that was gripped by Noble Tyou was left red because it was pressed so hard.
"What happened?" William was so confused.
“Teacher Vail, why are you here?” Lina was so curious and surprised.
“Teacher Vail?” Jei was a little surprised to hear the words of the demon king Lina.
“It's not a big deal, I'm confused myself. All I did was pay two gold coins for the goods I bought, and the person felt insulted." The person told them.
“Two gold coins?!” Jei was surprised by such a large value.
"Is there something wrong?" The person was confused.
“I don't know what you bought, only that it was said to be worth two thousand Gord coins,” William informed.
“And to get two thousand Gord, it takes two years for nobles to have it,” Jei informed.
“I see, I will be careful in the future. Sorry to waste all of your time, I'll take my leave—"
“Wait, Vail. You haven't answered my question." Lina reminded me of the question asked of the person.
“….” That person didn't answer, and that made Lina and the others even more curious.Not long after, Lina remembered what the masked man said at the restaurant she and Jei visited."Is it possible-"“I'm sorry I can't leave Miss Lara any longer. Excuse me."They just watched the man walk out in silence, the situation became even more awkward. Lina was very curious about why Vail was in the Trus kingdom.CLING!The sound of the doorbell was heard.“Welcome to our shop,” The same waiter greeted him.“The woman I was with, is she gone?” The person wanted to be sure.“You're the guy wearing the mask, right? The woman you were with has just left." The servant informed.“Has the clothes she chose been paid for?” The person wanted to make sure again."The lady hasn't chosen any clothes yet." The servant said again.“Who owns this shop? Can I meet him?" The person wanted to ask something from the shop owner."The owner of this shop is the person at the checkout counter, he is my parent." The s
King Ligt laughed and informed. If Ivel could rule the world by playing with the world's currency."It seems you want to control world trade and the economy," Neii concluded.“It might sound like that because no one knows what the future holds. But, there is no need to worry that the Trus branch will purchase supplies from this kingdom.” The person told them all.“As the noble in charge of this kingdom, I am very grateful. And please cooperate, I will also ally with you. Please wait a moment, I will prepare the documentation.” William walked towards his study in the palace. To create the documents Ivel requested and create a trade alliance letter with Ivel."Are you on a date?" Neii tries to make Lara feel embarrassed."No, we just-""You could say that, we were having an impromptu date." The person interrupted Lara's words."..." Lara's mood became awkward and she felt like she was being pranked."What is it? Your face is a little flushed, Miss Lara.” King Ligt joins in teasing Lara.
Three months later, an inter-academy tournament was held. Everyone was crowding the entrance of the imperial capital, to queue to enter."Furthermore!" Exclaimed the soldier guarding the empire's entrance gate.“Are you guys from Startlight Academy?” asked the soldier.“That's right, we are representatives of that academy,” Teacher Vina answered the soldier's question.“Alright, all of you follow me. I will tell you the rules of the empire on your way." The soldier told them and guided them to the dormitory where the tournament participants were."Thank you very much." Teacher Vina felt so happy.Teacher Vina and twenty students including Tasya, Sofy, and Tia. Follow the soldier and telling the punishments that apply in the empire."They have entered the empire," Cini said, watching from a distance."Come on, we also have to enter the imperial capital," Rii told his two friends."Ha...we have been made to look like spies for the demon kingdom by the demon king Lina." Vail groaned a lit
Feeling that they had enough, they immediately created a magic circle. Bring Kila and Asino to the center of the circle.“…..” The group cast a summoning spell.The sky slowly darkened and the forest descended heavily, accompanied by flashes.On the other hand, the arrival of summoned monsters and demons began to destroy the city and killed everyone indiscriminately, some people were eaten alive."I didn't expect it to be this bad," Cini was starting to get tired, because they were fighting and protecting people.“Is this what Lina was talking about?” Rii brought up what Lina had told them before leaving for the empire.“Run... quickly!” Vail evacuates everyone."We need-"Jgeeerrr!The sound of lightning produced by black clouds began to enter the city.“….” Rii felt the ground shake slightly."Did an earthquake happen?" Cini concluded, him felt the vibrations getting stronger and starting to hear sounds.“…..” Vail took the initiative to jump onto the roof of the tallest building in
Vail slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing stopped."Noa, find the person wearing the mask." Goddess Ries asks Noa to ask for help from the masked man whom the demon king Lina calls the prince.“Masked man?”“….” Noa and the goddess Ries were surprised by the voice of their enemy who was right behind them."If the person you mean is the same as the person who cursed me to become a Minotaur. That means I have to treat all of you with great affection.” The man smiled so evilly.Noa and goddess Ries jumped forward to gain distance from the man behind them."Where --"“Aaah!”"Ha ha ha!"“Teresa!” Noa saw Teresa who was being strangled and lifted.“…If you get close, she will feel something that this woman should accept.” The man told Noa who wanted to save Teresa.“Help... Noa. Goddess Ries.” Teresa asked for help in a very small voice.“….” The man brought out a drill with the blade glowing red and held it with his left hand.“Are you sure, you're going to shut up and watch? Don't ca
The three of them took a moment to think.“This is a great opportunity,” Cini summed up what he had heard."Then, do you want to listen to what I say again?" Lina has an offer.“What are you going to trouble us with this time?” Rii complained at Lina's words.“Thanks to our victory in the tournament, Principal of academy Waerlosh. Contacting me via the communication crystal, he wanted to exchange students and teachers." Lina informed."Again, a troublesome problem, since the battle in the empire I felt disaster in it," Vail told his complaint."Even though I tried to get you to meet Noa from Waerlosh Academy," Lina said in a sad voice."Ha...it can't be helped if you are called, we will accept it." Rii was forced to accept Lina's offer.“Good, in one month the exchange will take place. I've decided to send all class F students to be exchange students—"“Wait Lina, in the same class? What is not wrong." Rii interrupted Lina's words, he was surprised to hear that one class was an exchang
Rii asked them to explain in more detail the problem, not wanting to think they had misunderstood.“When we were choosing, and we had already taken. The head chef charged us for the menu we took, we felt humiliated.”“They all laughed at us on the spot, when we wanted to pay. The price of the menu we took was not enough for our pockets."“….” The three of them just sighed.Vail, Rii, and Cini couldn't help. Because their finances have been used to rent accommodation for a full year with all adequate facilities.Day after day, all class F students can only eat once a day and that can only be done while at the inn."The wages of the three of us won't be enough to treat them to this academy." Cini noticed that all class F students were a little thin."We can only buy them one day every month, the cost of living here is so expensive." Rii also felt sorry."We should have accepted the offer of the head of the academy at that time," Vail was so sorry."We are bound by a very strict contract,
“…..” Teacher Sida, who was in the tree, saw Asino running.“Yuga, Ibe. Did you hear me?”"What is it?" Ibe was curious about what his friend said.“The person who chanted has run away,” Sida told her two colleagues."They made me angry," Yuga had already crossed the line of patience.“Sida, we will follow after we successfully get out of this mist.”"Don't blame me if that woman dies in my hands," Sida told her two colleagues.Sida immediately used flying magic and chased Asino."I hope there is still time to erase the traces." Asino ran and glanced behind her slightly.“……”While she was focused on running, Asino's eyes glanced in a direction, and immediately jumped to avoid it.BANG!The attack magic almost hit Asino.“Nice jump, for a rabbit.”“Stop it already, teacher Sida. Your plan has failed, it's best to leave before—""What! You killed us?” Sida interrupted Asino's words.“I wanted to hide this, but there was no choice.” Asino wants to reveal her identity."I-" The magic hit
