Chapter 35: Introspection

While Darell and Emma were hanging out, on the other side of the capital, Eric and Ariel were also relaxing after having some time off from the training.

They were enjoying a play in one of the biggest cinema halls called The Luxons. They were sitting in one of the VIP rooms at the topmost section of the audience.

Eric had both sides of his brown hair trimmed and the rest were cut artistically which coupled with his straight thick eyebrows and cyan eyes made him look extremely handsome. He wore black boots and his black and white clothes along with his gold embroidered robes gave him a princely look. 

His body which had been built by training fit perfectly with his clothes and gave others an aura of a warrior. 

Ariel sat to his right with her blue hair set to her right while the left side of her hair had been set by a clipper. She was wearing a dark blue dress that had golden patterns drawn all over it. Her smooth white legs were covered by black stockings. She had applied some makeup over her face which brought out her feminine charm. 

She sat elegantly while her fingers remained intertwined with Eric's. They were watching a play in which a princess meets a poor boy begging on the streets. Seeing his pitiful state, the princess gives him a gold coin. The boy keeps the gold coin and promises her that he would give it back after he had a name for himself. 

The boy had come from a knight family with both of his parents being knights. However, a war left him as an orphan to beg on the streets. 

He managed to get a job and works at it in the morning and trains his sword at night. As he grows up, he passes the test to become a royal knight. He trains harder and becomes famous for his achievements. One day, he receives an invitation to the royal banquet. He accepts it and meets the princess at the royal banquet. He is stunned to see that the princess has grown up to be a beautiful and elegant lady and greets her while fulfilling his promise and giving her the gold coin back.

The princess is shocked to see the poor boy grow up to be such a person and is mesmerized by him. Several years later, she is crowned as the queen and marries him. 

As the play ended, Ariel turned to Eric and whispered seductively in his ear, " I am waiting for you, my knight ~" 

Eric blushes furiously while she giggles mischievously. They go to visit the famous landmarks of the capital. 

They first visited the statue of the phoenix king which was a 30 feet tall bronze statue. Underneath it, was a mural depicting the accomplishments and feats of the king. 

Then they visited the race tracks where they tried to bet on some of the racers only to lose embarrassingly. 

They visited the antique shop and criticized the prices and seemingly useless items and laughed when they were kicked out. 

They ate various types of street foods while talking with each other and observed the people who came to the stalls. 

Finally, they ended their date by having dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Both of them were seated opposite each other while they ate different types of cuisine. 

Eric noticed the clipper on Ariel's hair and smiled. She noticed him smiling and asked, "Why are you smiling?" 

He answered, " You still have that clipper that I gave you on your eighth birthday. It's broken now. Let me buy you a new one." 

Ariel shook her head and said, " Some things just can't be replaced." 

She looked him deeply in the eyes and continued, " Like you." 

Eric blushed and said in a shy manner, " Like you too. "

He sighed and said," Emma feels the same way about Darell and she has changed a bit after the incident. I feel that she had become somewhat paranoid." 

Ariel sighed, "She has every right to be. If not for him, then she would have been forced to marry some pompous son of a noble."

Eric said, " Yes, even Lilith has not become a tool for political schemes due to her importance and connection." 

Ariel took Eric's hand and said," Promise me that you won't do anything reckless like that. "

Eric said," I promise. "

Ariel bent forward and kissed him furiously while holding his face using both of her hands. 

After a full minute, she released him while licking her lips,  "Delicious ~~" 

Meanwhile, 

*CRACK*

"AHHH!" 

*CRACK*

"AHHHH!" 

*CRACK*

"AHHHHH! PLEASE!" 

*CRACK*

Four people were lying on the cold floor fully naked in a pool of blood. 

On the corners of the room stood four people who were shivering in fright and closed their eyes shut. 

In the center of the room, a large exquisite chair was placed upon which a man sat. 

He looked at the four people lying in their pool of blood emotionlessly. He had a whip in one of his hands. 

He cracked the whip one more time upon which the four flinched.

He roared, "You useless dogs! You all have one last chance to redeem yourselves. If you fail this time too, then...."

He smiled like an evil villain and continued, " You all should just kill yourselves because if I catch you then death would be the least of your concerns. "

He threw a map on the floor. 

One of the four picked up the map. It was none other than Abel. 

The man in the chair said, "This is a map of the dungeon that has been chosen for the first years. Set up traps in rooms 29, 30, and 53. I will give you some of the artifacts and weapons that will help you in completing the task. NOW, LEAVE!!" 

Abel and his subordinates left with the map after their injuries had been healed by one of the people standing in the corner. 

'I will kill both Eric and Darell. This time, I will have her. Ariel is all MINE. The rest can enjoy their time with Emma and Lilith after I have had my fill.' 

He clenched his fists and walked hurriedly to his room.
