Monmon's eyes are fixed on the bend up ahead. The air among the crows was thick with anticipation as they all wonder what could come out.
Beads of sweat formed on Monmon's head as he hears the aggressive sound of the V-12 engine up ahead.
"Hahaha." He lets out a haughty laugh thinking that a piece of steel could never be a match for the beauty of the Royal carriage. "I bet it can't even compare to our royal carriage, after all this stallion has the power of three horses"
Although Monmon is right, comparing the Royal carriage to a common car would be heresy in Sylnari for the horse alone costs more than an SUV.
However, what came out of the bent isn't just a normal car.
Inside the supercar, Rhen is having a chat with his brother.
"This is a 6.5-liter V-12 with a 720 horsepower engine, and you're telling me you do not want to drive this?"
Rhen is trying to coax his brother into accepting driving lessons. For it has been over a century, and he still hasn't even learned to drive, nor shown any interest.
"I'd rather be the passenger than be the driver, it's quite a hassle trying to find a parking spot, but if it's a motorcycle I don't mind." Azrel said as he points out the cons of driving one.
As if time itself had slowed down, the Lamborgini emerged, like a magnificent beast emerging from its lair, the supercar finally made its entrance garnering every attention on the premise. Every line and curve of its angular frame exuded an air of majesty and aggression, a perfect blend of power and elegance.
The crowd gasped in awe, their eyes fixed upon this automotive masterpiece. The vibrant orange accents contrasted beautifully against the deep black, creating a striking visual spectacle.
As the Lamborghini glided forward, its engine emitted a low, rumbling growl, a symphony of power waiting to be unleashed. It glides through the pavement like a beast on steroids and stops on right top of the red carpet claiming it for its own.
*Reev!*3x
Rhen press on the gas a few more times in front of the crowd giving them a bit of a show. The noise of the engine inadvertently startled the white stallion beside it promoting it to raise its front hooves, neighing.
Everyone's attention is on the supercar, no one is talking about the Prince or Princess of Sylnari, but who could be its owner.
Alfie's eyes are wide open, her jaws slightly dropped, lost in thought at the sight. "(I-is this a commoners car? In Syndara's name, this looks amazing. However, It's probably an old decrepit man driving his thing hahaha.)"
Trying to cope in denial, she makes light of the situation. Then, the doors slowly open vertically, and the next thing she saw made her royal heart skip a beat.
Alfie's heart raced as she stood there, her body frozen in place. Her eyes were fixed on the dark-haired man emerging from the driver's seat, his movements seemingly slowed down as if time seemed to stretch out, each second elongated as if in a dream.
There was something about the mysterious man that drew Alfie in, she couldn't tear her gaze away, as if under a spell.
He stood there, donned in a humble attire of black and red. The uniform he wore was one that belonged to the commoners just like the others. Though the man was but a humble commoner, Alfie could not deny the allure of his presence. Unlike the countless boys who watched from the sidelines, their eyes filled with envy while looking at the man, this man held a certain charm that captivated her in every way possible.
His hazel brown eyes gleamed in the sun with an intensity that could rival the keen gaze of an eagle. They were sharp, cutting through the rays of the sun that seemed to penetrate the very depths of one's soul. Though mysterious, his face possessed an angelic grace that captivated all who beheld it.
For some reason, all Alfie can see are a backdrop of sparkles around him as if it were scenes she watches in her favorite TV drama "Descendants of The Sun".
The man is brimming with confidence and swagger that any noble can only dream of.
Alfie also noticed that this man is older compared to his peers, but not too old to be outside of her age preference. She thought that he may be a returning Alumni or someone who has shifted courses. Whoever he is, Alfie's heart has been captured by this man.
...
Upon exiting, Rhen sees a cute platinum blonde High elf looking at him intently with her almond-green eyes.
She isn't comparable with Scarlet or Aliana. However, she is prettier than the other girls and has the air of a high-class girl around her.
Her face is flushed with her mouth opened slightly as if wanting to say something.
"O-oppa?" A soft voice escaped from her mouth.
When she realized what she just said, her face turns red as a tomato. She covers her mouth in embarrassment, but it was too late.
Rhen chuckled in amusement at her reaction.
"ꄘꑾꋪ ꇘ꒐ꑾꃸ. (How cute.)" He gives her a smirk before ruffling her hair leaving her flabbergasted.
Her eyes and mouth grew wider. "A-a-a..."
She tries to say something yet nothing comes out. Judging from her reaction, she clearly understood Rhen's words, confirming that she is a high-class girl.
Rhen left a gaze from behind him and his attention is drawn to the a girl peeking from inside the white carriage.
While her face is barely visible, yet her icy blue eyes garner most of his attention. Her skin is white as marble, just like her long smooth silky straight hair.
Upon realizing Rhen saw her, she immediately closes the door with rosy red cheeks.
Rhen wonders as to why these High elves are wearing white unlike the rest, but as soon as he saw the butler wearing the same, he misunderstood and thought they're like Aliana, Interns on the job.
"(Ohh I see, butler in training.") He thought to himself.
Rhen gives the car keys to the High Elven boy next to the platinum-blonde girl thinking he's a valet boy.
His eyes are green just like the girl, not to mention they look alike, but not to the point that they are twins. "(Siblings perhaps?)" Rhen thought.
"Lo fai schiantare, lo paghi. (You crash it, you pay for it.)" Rhen spoke in a smooth passive-aggressive tone before dropping the keys in Monmon's hands. He casually walks leaving Monmon stunned. Rhen used the red carpet as his entrance when it was supposed to be for the royals. Azrel follows suit just right beside him.
"Huh!?" Monmon exclaimed in surprise.
He stood there with his jaw hanging, not knowing what just happened, not only Rhen managed to steal his spotlight, but he also ruined his image.
Alice peaks out from the door again. "Brother he said that if you crash it, you pay for it"
"Wahahahaah!" Alfie breaks out in laughter, pressing her hands against her firm belly. "He thinks you're a valet boy!!"
Alife wipes the tears in her eye, her lips curl to a grin showing her interest in Rhen.
At the same time, Monmon's fans turn away from him. No longer they are looking at the Prince, but their interest is instantly shifted towards this mysterious heartthrob that came out off nowhere.
"Woahhh. He's soo hot, I want to have your babies!!"
"Omg, are they supermodels? I don't know what he's saying. Maybe they're foreign actors."
Monmon has had enough, he throws a fit and threw the car keys away which made Alice's heart sink.
"Ahhh! screw this piece of junk!" He yelled with a furious tone.
"Brother! That's around three million neo-credits." Alice squeaked, in most cases, her voice is softer, but this time around she didn't want her brother to be in serious debt.
*GASP!*
Monmon lets out a loud audible gasp, even nearly choking from it. His face is ghostly pale as his blood drains from his face in horror.
"What!? Gandor help!" He hurriedly calls out his butler like a child not knowing what to do.
"Idiot! Monmon go find it now! We can't even pay for it even if we combine all our allowance." Alfie blurted out and helps out as well.
Alice also wants to help, but she's too timid to even go out of the carriage, not to mention the hordes of Alice fans aiming their cameras at the carriage to catch a glimpse of the elusive second Princess.
After a few moments of searching, Gandor finally spots the keys on the side of the road. He takes it before anyone could.
After informing the others that he has found the keys, Monmon and Alfie head to their classes while Gandor transfers Alice to the supercar and uses it to drop her in the Upper levels of the Noble's section.
Gandor caused a bit of a stir when the country bumpkin High Elves started reporting a ferocious metallic beast has taken the Princess hostage, but after a few words with Gandor, they all calmed down.
"Thank you Gandor, you have my sincerest appreciation." Alice does a curtsy and heads inside a porcelain white elven cathedral.
After receiving thanks for his service, Gandor lets out an exhausted sigh.
"Wew!" A small drop of sweat drops from his forehead. Even so, after seeing Alice's angelic face, it was enough to keep him going throughout the day.
After parking Rhen's Lambo in Noble's parking area beside the horses, he now wonders how he's going to return the car keys.
"Now what." He stated, looking at the keys in his hand.
