Trouble makes its way to the three.
Hearing her voice that was the cotton-based in texture, The young lad looked up to find who held such a voice. It was crystal clear that he always dined alone.
Living a lonely life, he was a bastard of the third most influential figure within the kingdom yet what could he have, all he had to pride in was that he was born out of love and not the seeking for power.
His dad did fall in love with her mother who by then worked as the maid to one of his ladies. Being known for his fetish for women, he made all ways to hold her down, and the worst thing was, it was by then that these two dearly fell for each other.
Over the run, his dad had neglected all his concubines or be it his legal wife, and always stayed with his love and he is the sole product of their love.
Even though her mother was a good friend of her previous master, she was still naive to know the acts of an influential family native as they only proved themselves worthy of any attention.
Since his dad never once dared to visit them, they ended up killing her mother by the time he made two years in this unfavorable world.
As though their act was never to appease their anger, their rival was now gone and his dad was to them yet with his young age, he had to suffer from poison and many various assassination threats from the so-called family to him.
This was the sole reason as to why he decided never to trust anyone. Didn't his father hold the third most rank status in the kingdom, then why did he fail his mother at the best moment when she trusted her the most?
As though that was never enough, he has succumbed to many assassinations within the so praised Molnar of his leaving him no chance but to only stroll the world. Didn't he promise his mom that he would protect him in all the ups and downs, what was the reason for the poisonings if he were really protecting him?
He was the third to power and worked for the greatest figure in the kingdom by now yet he had never once stood by his side in life. All he got was being bullied by his said family and their friends. It was for this reason that he sought a life this where he would never need any company or say, family. Thanks to his great for in life, he could use any amount of money he wanted as his dad always wanted to befriend him.
As all these were in no way beneficial to him, he yearned for the love and company that his brothers and sisters got yet this was all vanity as he could only dream of this. With his mother gone, he had no one to support him or run to and this made him live a sole life where he even came to hate the imperial city making up his mind to only walk the world.
All this long, he was the sole person to initiate a conversation with the so-called loyal blooded, and despite of his family's status, even the least family nobles had to look down on him. But what luck was on this day, at first, he got an outstanding awakening of the fire element meeting the first reason for his family clan support yet as this was not enough, someone waits, a beauty stood before him and proposed to dine with him. Why would he disagree with it in the first place?
Even if they were to use her as a way to lure him to the light, it would be a worthy reason to die for dying in a beauty's hands would leave him with maximum respect.
With such thoughts, he raised his head higher to view her whole body and when he reached her chest, he exclaimed at once. "That is a C no, wait, a D." Oh, it's worthy of my death. I only have to lay her down and... All thoughts ran through his mind as he thought of all the possible ways to lay her down as a character that did prove he was his father's real son. That was the blood running through his veins.
He then looked at her fully before concluding that the three were not here to harm him. Raising his hand as a gesture for them to take up their seats, he called to the waiter to serve the three whichever meal they ought to have. Since they sought him first, he would befriend them and from their looks, it was clear that they didn't belong to any faction or say the noble class, if all goes well, he would have people to call friends.
With such a thought, he dared not lay back to observe as he decided to take hold of this chance.
With raised arms in salutation, he declared his identity although it was only his first name.
Am Allan, this is surely fated for us to meet here, allow me to serve you a nice lunch as a notch for our dear meeting.
With Allan taking the initiative to introduce himself, it was like he was asking for their names in the first place and sure, the three did comply as they gave him their names in no time. How could they fail such a simple thing as an introduction when they were to be given a heavy serving.
Although the meat of any beast was something they have enjoyed in the village, how could they even dare compare their village style to the servings of a senior chef in service within the huge city? It was clear that the chefs here were no one joe for their village to compare to.
The three simultaneously took their seats and ordered for a variety of servings. It was like as though telling a child to declare all that he loves to have for play. That's an automatic relay that he would not for once stray as he would declare everything that he has dared to put a glance once or what did come to his ears from friends. Some would even suggest to even look around for the best clue before answering such a question to hold a worthy answer. This was the character of Clara, despite her charming elegance.
She always kept herself put but it was a habit to the three of respect food as their way of respect was never to act before one. They had to dig into the servings and their best moments in life always were those that held a variety of delicacy.
With such character, she turned to the Allan who looked composed and only ate in a bit of reluctance as though the servings were never to his liking in the first place.
With her straight personality, she raised her hands in courtesy as a sign of respect with words visible on her lips.
Seeing this, Raman looked at Darin with a simple smile, knowing what was running in Clara's mind the two only looked at each other in worry about losing the table and the free servings. Knowing her personality, she was one who never for once barked down whenever she thought of doing something and if it came to food, she would act more like a mother who is punishing her child for failing to acknowledge her previous command.
Why the salute this sudden? Keep the formalities away and let us enjoy the servings. This restaurant is one of the best in Western City and its chefs can be ranked to those of the royal family. You better chide that aside and enjoy the delicacy.
Seeing his actions, Clara knew he would never be mad at her complaint and for that, she would in no way act composed with the character she holds.
Did you order all these servings by yourself or it was only from the waiter's choice?
Hearing this, Allan posed for a moment thinking he had missed her question. If it sounds right, she was looking at his way of conduct while eating, and in the next moment, a question came in his direction. If not off-topic, her concern is my way of eating.
Seeing him remain silent, she changed her focus to the dishes that the waiter had just served. The table was now filled with crabs, fish, chicken, and a lot of food. The table was now filled to the brim with all sorts of delicacy.
The three held their chopsticks and started to dig in as though they had been hungry for a full week's time. This is when Allan came to realize what Clara meant with her previous question. They were eating nonchalantly as they cared not to any description over them by the onlookers. So this is the said respect they offer to food.
After dining to their fullest, the three asked Allan to show them around as he was the most suitable for this routine.
Knowing that they were new to the city, he agreed in no time and they went out for the walk yet they had only crossed one street with all smiles as they were enjoying the delicacy on the way but they came to a stop as their way ahead was blocked.
Seeking no trouble, they turned to go back only for it to be blocked as well.
My, my, my. What could the young master be doing with such people? Don't tell me a burstad like you dared to look to a place where my eyes are set?
