Chapter 4
The next morning I left the room for breakfast, in Celly's dress not in my nightgown. I didn't know where to begin looking for Yuuri or the others so I went to check his office first. I was popping my head when-
"What are you doing."
"Gah! Gwendell, heeeey!" I said rubbing my head. He still had that serious face of his.
"I was only looking for Yuuri, honest!"
"Well he's not here." he gritted and ran away like hell was after him. Turning to where he came from I saw a familiar pinked haired woman.
"Annisinna?!"
"And who might you be?" she huffed.
"I'm Caren."
"Nice to meet you Caren, you wouldn't have seen Gwendell by any chance? Or do you have-"
"He went that way!"
"Thank you. Oh, Gwendell!" she sang. That was close…I should ask someone where the kitchen is...
I found my way to the center where Murata, Greta and Celly ate, Sangria and Lasagne standing by.
"Oh, Lady Caren! Doria left to wake you,"
"Oh, sorry…"
"Please sit M'Lady,"
"You don't mind if I join you right?"
Geta-"Of course not!"
Celly-"Make yourself at home. I told the maids to let you sleep. We women need as much rest as possible."
"Sure, thanks. Sup' Murata, I thought you'd be at the temple?"
"Knowing the Great One, he isn't going to be around for a while. "
"What if he's-hiding, hiding somewhere?" I almost said 'possessing someone' but how would a new comer know that.
"I was wondering about that but If that's the case, he won't be found If he doesn't want to be."
"Makes sense."
"As his friend I feel the need to apologize to you for what he's done."
"I don't accept your apology. " I said with a straight face. He made a 'taken aback' sort of sound; I couldn't hold in a smile for long.
"It isn't your fault. I get the feeling he's a handful," he sighed.
"It's part of my job as the Great Sage." I wanted to ask about being the Great Sage but figured it was too soon.
"So where's Yuuri?"
"Out on his morning run with Conrart. Most likely he'll pass by here for some food before going to do his kingly duties."
"What do you think I should be doing?"
"Er...besides steering clear of Annisinna-"
"Do you think I can hang around Yuuri?"
"Uh-I think you should ask Yuuri."
"Ok."
"Oi, Murata! Good morning Caren," Yuuri and Conrart came running through the side opening of the castle.
"Morning Yuuri, Conrart."
C-"Good morning."
"Ready to hit the books Shibuya?"
"Aw; you'd think I would be used to it by now."
"Shibuya! Now's your chance to show you're book smart!" Murata whispered furiously. I pretend not to have heard.
"I dont know what you're talking about..."
"Yuuri, I was hoping you'd let me sit in, until I find something I'm useful for."
"I have to warn you, it isn't very exciting."
"That's okay, I'm kind of a nerd."
M-"Im coming too!"
"Murata, shouldn't you be in the Great One's tomb?"
"I should be with you as your adivisor." He retorted cheerfully.
Wolfram-"Yuuri! What are you arguing about, you're supposed to be in your office doing your job!"
"I'm coming..."
It's even funnier in person...
I followed behind with a grin on my face.
"Ah, there are the kingdom's blessings, " Günter greeted us affectionately.
Y-"Morning Günter,"
"Good morning your majesty, your excellency, my lady."
"Günter, you're awesome so why are you single?" Sweet, kind, incredibly good looking and strong...
"My lady? "
"You heard me. Why are you single. "
M-"Yeah, why are you single?" I moved closer to Murata so it looked like we were ganging up on him.
"Uh..."
"You're one of the kingdoms most eligible bachlors you know?"
"I am?" I patted his arm and took a seat. I guess he was the disinterested type.
"Don't laugh Conrart, so are you."
Y-"Where's Yozak?"
C-"Blending in."
Y-"Oh…."
G-"I will recite all the past kings in order while you sign these documents. It's the perfect opportunity for Lady Caren to learn about our history and his holiness to refresh his memory!"
I'm excited now but I wonder if that would change...
So. Bored. Even Murata's bored….
Bad Omen! Bad Omen...!
AN:I need to re-watch Season but it wont be long so expect Caren's first mission at the end of the month!
Who should Caren be paired with? Günter, dark horse Gwendell, Yuuri, Murata, or Yozak? The adults may be decades older in demon years but they look like they're in their twenties XD
