"Okay...I guess I will go now." "Wait... a minute!"
Alyson hesitates as she tries to tell me something but somehow she couldn"t tell me.
"What? If there nothing else. I will head back to my room as I need to prepare myself for the meeting."
"Do you remember your promise...not exactly a promise but do you remember it?"
Did I promise her something? I tried to recall it but I can"t as I still think about what happened last night with Princess Elna. "Sorry... I can"t remember it, it is important?"
Alyson then says it was nothing but I could tell that she is sulking, her face says it all. I quickly apologized if it was something important and tried asking her what it is about.
But she just says it was nothing important and closed the door up. I knock her door as I kept saying sorry. I don"t know why she is mad but I think I did not promise her anything.
"Just go... it"s nothing! or you will be late for the meet."
I then remember that I should prepare myself for the meeting. I apologize to her one last time and I quickly went to my room.
When I open up the room, I could see that Lily was still sleeping. I check the clock in my system and it was 9 am. I guess I still had time to prepare myself, I then wake Lily up as she needs to prepare too.
"Lily...Wake up! It"s already 9 in the morning."
Lily was still asleep as I tried a little harder to wake her up. This time she wakes up from it.
"Go take a bath... and then we could go to eat breakfast."
Lily then head to the showers as I went to the other shower, it really convenient to have two showers in the room. After we finish taking our bath, we then head to the dining room.
I check if my system again just to see the time. It"s 10:41 am now, I really hope that there will be a breakfast at this hour as I was really starving now.
When I and Lily arrive at the dining table, there was no sign of the king or anyone besides the maid. Then a maid went near me and say something to me.
"Sir Arias, the king, and the other in this castle already had breakfast. If sir want I could tell the castle cook to make breakfast for you sir."
"You could? If that the case...could you tell the castle cook that I and my daughter would like to have breakfast."
"With pleasure sir, please wait a while."
The maid then heads to the kitchen as I and Lily sit on the chair waiting for our food to arrive at the dining table.
We waited like twenty minutes and the food finally arrived, the maid places our food on the table.
"Please enjoy the breakfast, sir."
"Yeah! I would...Thanks for delivering the food."
I then began to eat rashly as I was really starving, I continue to eat as I don"t notice the time.
Suddenly someone taps me from behind. I was startled by it as I nearly choke myself.
"I"m sorry... I didn"t mean to startle you, Sir Arias."
That is Toby voice if I was not mistaken. After I"ll take a gla.s.s of water, and drink it. I turned behind and it was Toby after all.
"What do you need Toby?"
"His majesty is expecting your arrival at the meeting."
After hearing that, I quickly check my system clock and realized it was already 11:20 am. I then immediately stop eating and prepare to go to the meeting room.
"I"m sorry Toby... I was not aware of the time, let"s go to the meeting immediately."
"Let"s hurry up, the king doesn"t have that much patience."
We then head to the meeting room, it took us a few minutes to get there as the location of the room is pretty far from the dining room.
When we arrive there and enter the room, I could see that all of the people already gathered there. I then found an empty chair as I sit down there, I could hear some people say something about me.
"Is this the diplomat from the Golkiem Kingdom?"
"Isn"t he too young to be a diplomat?"
"Hmmph! arriving late at this important meeting."
I quickly apologized to the king and the rest of the people there. I could tell that the king is displeased with me because I arrived late.
"Let"s begin..." The king was speech was interrupted by someone in the room.
"Your Highness? It is appropriate to bring a child into this private and important meeting?"
They all look at me and Lily. I then realized that I should not bring Lily here.
"Toby! Could you look after the diplomat daughter." The king orders Toby to look after Lily.
Toby then approaches Lily and tried to take her out of the room but Lily holds me tightly as she doesn"t want to leave me. I then say to Lily that this is an important meeting and kids do not allow here.
"I don"t wanna go!"
"It"s okay Lily, it would only be a few minutes beside Toby would take care of you."
Lily was still not letting me go but then I make a promise to her that I would show her the city after the meeting is done.
"Really?"
"Yes, I promise..."
With that Lily let go of my hand and went outside the room with Toby. King Tomas III then began the meeting.
"Let"s me introduce the diplomat from the Golkiem Kingdom, this is Sir Arias."
I then stand up from my sit and introduce myself properly. The king then introduces all the people that I have not met last night at the feast.
This time I pay more attention to the king"s speech as this was an important introduction of all the people here.
