"i am known as second prince of kingdom reptiliance, blake shadowdragon de reptiliance. i hope you recognized me now as to not make my little sisters think i am not popular" blake glared at nickolas who trembled, not having enough courage to speak anymore
"tsk! tsk! big brother you gave out the surprise now how will i stay low to know more about my father's kingdom?" faes asked similarly taking out her own ring and wearing it but she was grinning watching nickolas who saw her own ring and turned pale.
"your royal highness! i apologize for my behavior please forgive this lowly one!" nickolas directly kowtowed in a second changing his demeanour from haughty to begging.
"we will let it go but on few conditions" blake replied
"anything his royal highness says!" nickolas spoke
"first you wont bother any girl anymore! specially when they aren't interested" blake said taking a look towards rosaline who was staring at blake with wide eyes and mouth hanging open. he gave her a sweet smile to which she blushed before he turned to nickolas again
"i wont bother and force any girl from now on!" he vowed under the stare sweating from fear
"second you wont show off your status and would use it for citizen's help and protection" blake continued and nickolas agreed
"third you will focus more on your training and studies instead of hanging out with people who don't have any work to do and will eventually drag you down"
"fourth you will keep this inn safe in the future and will guard miss rosaline and her family from all kinds of harm as a punishment for what you did to her" blake finished
"i will your highness!" nickolas answered. if he had known that the one he was dealing with was a prince much stronger than him then he would have not done anything like that but now he was in for a lecture even from his father who was a proper noble and loyal to citizens and the throne.
"oh also the knowledge that my sisters are here should be kept a secret! we wanted to surprise my father" blake said making faes sigh, 'there they go again!'
"yes your highness" this time everyone in the place replied before nickolas asked
"your highness if you don't mind can i ask something?"
when blake nodded he continued
"from what we know queen didn't gave birth to any princesess so-" nickolas didn't finished the sentence as blake's face darkened with sadness remembering aiden but he masked it before anyone noticed but faes clearly saw the change as blake gave her a sad smile.
"they are his majesty former king aiden shadowdragon de reptiliance's daughters and my little sisters princess faes and princess sky" blake introduced making nickolas turn even paler, 'if king aiden knew what happened he would have long turned to ash'
"your highness forgive this lowly one for the offence earlier" nickolas pled to faes who rolled her eyes.
"no offence taken! i would forget about what happened it you change yourself for better but if i heard anything similar happening then-" faes didn't finished but grinned at nickolas who shivered and nodded. the little princess was way scary than prince blake, the flame she summoned was not easy to control!
"now then off you go we are here to just enjoy our dinner peacefully" blake said removing his ring and putting it away. not to mention faes followed suit, she cant get more eager to take it off! faes was just a simple girl back on earth but here she have to even watch what she was saying! it was not as easy as it seemed! faes was used to cursing and saying random things but she cant do that here.
faes was not paying attention anymore as she was busy staring at the notification of quest completion and closed her eyes as the concept of ice magic was embedded in her mind. her cultivation also was about to break past the border she was stuck on but it still needed exp before she break through.
meanwhile nickolas took his friends and apologized to rosaline and her father before leaving the place. rosaline and her father came to where blake and faes were sitting and bowed deeply with tears in their eyes.
"thank you your highness! please forgive us for the inconvenience" rosaline's father said
"oh that was nothing" blake replied waving his hand but the slight blush on his cheeks gave him away to faes.
'soo cute!' faes was enjoying the change in expression on blake's face but she didn't teased him further.
"to us it was more than anything, please if you need our help in any way, just order and we would be at your service your highness" rosaline's father said before he left along with rosaline who glanced back at blake blushing slightly.
"you like her don't you? was this your first time staying here or have you seen her before on different occations?" faes asked suddenly taking blake's attention from the door rosaline vanished to. he turned red again making faes giggle
"i saw her once in capital before and then followed her here, after that i met her whenever she went to buy ingredients with her mother or father. this is not my first time staying here" blake said then realised that he was talking to a ten year old who seem to understand what was going on with him and was enjoying herself.
their dinner came along with some special dishes as a form of gratitude from the family. faes and blake ate and then went to their respected rooms to sleep.
once faes was inside the room she entered the mystic fog castle and was greeted by kai who was reading a book sitting near the fountain.
kai glanced at faes as soon as she entered the space and smiled at her putting the book aside.
"how was your day?" kai asked
"it was fine, we are currently in aquari village and will head to the capital city tomorrow. brother blake seem to like the inn keepers daughter here" faes told kai what happened sitting near him and smiling. faes didnt realised that she had barely known kai but she seem to rely and open up to him unconsciously. faes felt safe and calm when she was with kai so she had grown her trust on him along with her affection.
faes and kai talked until faes felt sleepy. kai noticed it and smiled at faes who can barely stay awake. he then got up picking faes princess style and carrying her along with sky who was still in faes arms to faes room and tucking them in bed completely ignoring the protest faes was continuing. faes was too tired to fight so she was just mumbling that he didn't had to do that and she can walk but kai completely ignored her. once faes was tucked in she too fell asleep soon and kai left the room turning the lights off with a satisfied smile on his face.
next day faes got up early and got ready before blake can know she wasn't in the room, even sky was up early and ready so faes sorted out the letters aiden had left but they were just too many of them so she barely sorted a quarter of the letters before blake knocked on their room.
"come in!" faes called and the door opened revealing blake still dressed as a commoner. he smiled at sky and faes who were surrounded by the letters and boxes.
"my little sisters are busy? but we were supposed to leave for the capital city" blake said as he took a seat on the bed.
"we will just pack then we can continue this later right baby?" faes asked sky who nodded in answer.
'system sort these letters out and give them to whoever they are written to when the time is right according to the descriptions written on them.' faes ordered waving her hand and sending the letters and boxes to the inventory.
[but host i am not made to do that!] the system appeared in front of faes who smiled at it but it seemed dangerous.
'but you can do that anyways! you arent doing anything whole time anyways? if you cant do that you can go die in handful of water!' faes spoke and the system shivered accepting its fate and getting on work.
blake watched as faes got up and picked sky letting her sit over faes shoulder. he cant see past faes while she seem to know him well. he had an urge to protect them both even when they had their own secrets. if they trusted him enough faes might on day share her own secrets but he have to wait and gain her trust before that. one of her secrets were clearly in front of him as faes just sent the items away but she wasn't wearing any storage items on her!
'uncle aiden also said to keep faes and sky safe no matter what as their safety will determine the world's future' blake didn't know what that meant but he knew that faes and sky need to stay safe and get stronger! he had read the letter Aiden had left and it contained lots of information that he couldn't understand yet.
"lets go!" faes said as she got up and turned to blake who was watching her with a smile.
"we have a busy day to look forward to!"
