Soon the morning came and Ned stirred awake only to find that Lori was not beside him.Of course he knew that she was an early riser. And from the past times he had been with her, she always got up early in order to cook for him.
She didn"t let anyone else cook his meals. Even if it was the old man. Of course her cooking was awesome.
It was just that he felt the cooking of the old man was a bit better, but he wasn"t about to complain.
Just like he thought, after taking a quick bath, and dressing up, he headed to the dining room and found her setting plates on the table.
"Good morning Ned" Lori said as soon as she spotted him.
"Good morning Lori" Ned replied with a smile, and sat on the table to await the old man.
Speaking of his sword master, he would love to have an all out duel with him.
Of course he wasn"t arrogant or anything, rather he knew he will lose against the old man. But he wanted to gauge his level, and the old man would be a good choice.
Once the three of them sat aside, they enjoyed their food while talking about this and that.
When they were done Lori helped the maids take the plates while the old man went upstairs, Ned thought that it was a bit early to go strolling around the city, therefore he went to the old man"s study and found him sitting there.
He asked him if he can read a book here and when he replied yes, he took a look at the bookshelves and chose one and sat at the side on a comfortable chair.
After an hour or so of reading, he excused himself, then went to pick Lori and go enjoy his morning with her.
They walked around the lovely city and enjoyed the company of each other. Like usual he took Lori to taste any food he liked with him.
He noticed that Lori kept glancing around like she was looking for someone. So he asked her.

"Who are you looking for?"
"I thought that I saw Lucy earlier, and I wanted to make sure." She said, but Ned could detect a hint of guilt in her voice. He tilted his head in confusion.
Until he resigned and used the map to locate her if she was indeed here.
Not surprisingly, she really was here.
He took Lori"s hands and went to meet her.
When they reached her he noticed she was looking around anxiously so much that a bit of sweat was starting to build up on her forehead.
Then when she saw them she came up to them and greeted them with relief in her eyes.
Ned could relate. As much as he trusted Lori he knew she had a hand in this coincidence meeting. Still since he knew that she was in love him, due to seeing her feelings, he could relate with her.
After all he was always in the forest, and only occasionally visited. She wasn"t able to meet him at all.
And when this "coincidence" meeting happened she had lost them. So he knew why she was anxious.
Since yesterday night and the "talk" he had with Lori, he understood many things.
First was that he was a man. And he was attracted to women. His master was probably the most beautiful of them all, hence his earlier feelings.
Second was that if a girl threw herself at him, and his current partner didn"t mind, he would accept. And he wouldn"t deny it even for a second that the thought of having a lot of women in live with him made him happy.
He had originally prepared to tell Lucy off for using Lori, but it appeared Lori was smarter than to be fooled.
"h.e.l.lo Lucy, how have you been?" Ned greeted her with a smile.
"I"m fine Ned, what about you? I"ve been meaning to find you before but you just disappeared. Thank goodness we met by coincidence." Lucy said and saw the corners of his lips twitch and knew that he was on to them so her cheeks reddened a bit.
"I have been training yes, I"m sorry for the inconvenience" Ned replied and ignored what he heard, something both Lori and Lucy was thankful for.
"Can we go to somewhere more private?" Lucy said, and led the way upon seeing Ned nod.
She was determined to confess to him this day and no one would stop her.
While Ned himself even if he knew what was coming was enjoying it due to the change of pace. From hunting beasts to hunting maidens. The thought itself was funny to him.
