Chapter 175 - Chapter 174 : When I remember.

" Honestly, I wasn't expecting you to agree with my reckless request your majesty ". Eros glanced at Suki who was still holding his arm [ No wonder I left her. She's so clingy ] " Really? And why is that ". She simply smiled to herself, as if he'd said something funny " I dare not speak freely ".

Eros sighed as he looked around [ Why did I agree to come with her? ] and caught sight of Nectar. She seemed to be doing something to Lord Axis' hair. Though he seemed annoyed, he didn't seem to be upset.

He couldn't help but laugh at her actions. Though Axis seemed docile, he was true to the demon in his title. He had a feeling she knew but didn't care [ You'd expect her to take her position more seriously ]

And she seemed like the worst influence on people. How was he to prove reliable if Nectar was making such a good atmosphere? Normally, the others would have their guard up against the host nation; they were in unfamiliar territory after all.

Mixed with high tension and wanting everything to go well, there would be a serious strain in relations. But there was none here, he could feel it and he could only blame Nectar [ What do I do with that woman? ]

" Your majesty "? He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her, " Yes Suki San "? She smiled, " You drifted off for a while. I hope your okay "? He nodded and sighed internally [ When will dinner actually start? ]

Nectar was standing quietly with a champagne flute in hand and looking around. She swirled the wine within it and looked up at the massive chandelier in the middle of the ceiling. There were also a few more forming a circle around it but not as large.

[ It wouldn't be wise to sit under the chandelier. What if it falls? ] She shook her head and mumbled to herself, " That's very unlikely " [ But possible ] She glanced at the dining tables again, " I'll stay far from it just in case ".

" What are you mumbling to yourself Oddball "? Nectar turned to Kancor with a smile, " I nearly forgot about you ". Kancor used his palm to cover his chest, " You really don't spare my feelings ".

Nectar laughed, taking a sip of her wine " You speak as though I've actually managed to hurt your feelings ". Kancor smiled innocently, " Who says you haven't "? She tilted her head to the side as she looked at him.

He did the same and squinted his eyes when she did, " What are we doing "? Nectar looked at him more keenly " I wanted to ask you about something ". He shrugged, " Is that why you look so lost "? She nodded and he heaved a sigh of relief, " Thank God. I thought you were already drunk ".

She smiled slightly, " You'd be surprised by how well I hold my wine ". Kancor rolled his eyes playfully and she suddenly pointed her finger in his face, " Did you just roll your eyes at me "?

He shook his head, " Of course not, I believe in your ability ". She nodded slowly, " That's what I thought ". He laughed and looked at her, " So what did you want to ask me "? She shook her head from side to side then met his gaze, " I don't remember ".

Kancor clicked his tongue, slightly annoyed [ I forget she has a bad memory ] and she looked at her glass and he shook his head [ Never mind that, she's just absent minded ] " Just let me know when you remember ".

" Sister in-law, good evening to you ", Nectar looked behind Kancor as she took another sip of her wine and choked on it. She was just so shocked and what she saw caught her off guard so quickly.

Beside Rick, dressed in a dark red velvet suit and his hair gelled back was the man she'd played and drank with on countless nights. Internally panicking, she tried to get her bearing as Kancor gently patted her back [ What's Wheat doing here? ]
