In the end, even if I wanted to get away from this gathering, I was ordered to come by the Alpha King himself. All the high socialites, nobles, and part of the royal family were all here gathering in the banquet hall.This gathering gave me a dull impression that I couldn't last to stay here. I was in the very corner, hiding from the eyes of the nobles. I am already tired of making social interactions with them. I knew that this was the start but I could have wished General Cairo and General Benedict were also here with me. But they chose not to go here for some reason even though they were invited. Maybe they found this very dull just as I am having a thought right now.If I wasn't ordered to come here, I wouldn't be here in the first place.I silently clicked my tongue, holding a glass of white wine as my eyes swa

Even he, too, was shocked from what happened seeing how his eyes widened.I immediately got off from him then I gasped because we came from the second floor and landed on the ground floor. I approached him and helped him to sit up as he was groaning."A-Are you alright, Your Majesty?" I asked, panicking.My heart leaped as his eyes darted on me."Y-Yes." He nodded. "How about you?" he asked and scrutinized me up and down."I-I am alright. Thanks to His Majesty," I said, feeling guilty.We looked at each other. I suddenly felt nostalgic for the way he was looking at me. I felt like I was throwing back to the times when he was still my supervisor with a mischievous expression on his

"I don't get why you have to come around, Your Majesty," I said as I was already frowning."Claude.""Huh?" I blinked, tilting my head. He didn't answer me so I scrutinized him up and down. "Why are you even dressed like that, Your Majesty?" He was also wearing a very cheap tunic which is the same as mine but it is more ankle-to-floor length. He wasn't wearing some fancy clothing to signify his wealth as the Alpha King.He stopped walking and faced me. "Call me 'Claude', Rachelle. It is just the two of us so you don't need to address me like that."I raised my eyebrow. "You'll go by the name of Claude Hackworth again? Just as you always pretend way back?" I huffed and passed by him.I didn't hear anything from him so I made h

We distanced ourselves the moment we arrived at the plaza after the sun was set. We didn't even talk nor speak to each other.How am I supposed to enjoy myself here in the plaza if neither of us is okay right now?I must think of ways to get out of this awkward situation so I could at least enjoy my day off. I don't even know why His Majesty has to follow me here when he could have chosen to leave me here alone.I silently snorted after that.I roamed my eyes around as I saw the lanterns hanging around in the posts with lots of food stalls and some magic shows were set up in the plaza. The place was extravagant and I wanted to stroll around on every corner of this place.I stopped walking when my nostrils smelled something sm

"Job well done, General Rachelle, Sir Jack," the supervisor of the Department of Tax Enforcement, Harry Tapley said. "You manage to get this done in less than four days.""Our pleasure is ours," Jack and I said in unison.Harry nodded his head. "I shall make a report to His Majesty. You may now go back to your post, General Rachelle and Sir Jack.""Very well," I said and nodded. Then we decided to leave."General?""Hmm?" I turned at Jack who was beside me."I observed something with you. Would you mind listening to it?" He smiled, fixing his glasses."Of course. What is it?" I'm curious as well. What did he observe from me?
