Renjiro walked through the castle corridors happily, he was feeling optimistic. He had a feeling the day was going to be good, then he suddenly remembered that he was meant to go to town today and his mood soured immediately, he knew that there would be consequences if he didn't acknowledge their appointment. Knowing lyra's temper he knew she would most likely wait to destroy him in their next training session.
Myoko passed by him and the maid he saw getting some action during the hours of the party was tailing her, she was carrying something white on her arms, it looked like folded bedsheets, renjiro's face started heating up as he recalled the memory of her riding that guard, his gaze subconsciously went to her bosoms.
"Young master you are better now" myoko said with a smile completely oblivious to his thoughts but the maid behind her noticed his gaze, and smiled politely at him bowing politely, he mostly ignored her presence this was the first time he had noticed her and it made her exceedingly glad but she controlled her facial expression to match the present situation.
"Ye…. Yes, I am, you can go on ahead" renjiro stuttered losing his composure for a moment, he had to take a deep breath to calm himself down after they left.
"Do I always have to lose my composure whenever I am turned on, I need to be more in control" renjiro lampooned
Renjiro went down to the dining area to eat, he noticed more guard activity after what had happened, one of the guards followed him closely, he ignored them and sat down and began to wolf down his food, he noticed caelia didn't come to the dining today, he hardly saw her so it wasn't much of a problem but she seemed to know of his each and every move, he didn't know how she did it since he didn't sense anything or anyone watching him most of the time.
Renjiro was so full he could hardly stand, he forced himself up and waddled out of the dining towards his room, since he was so full, he felt very sleepy, as soon as he entered into his room he collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.
He opened his eyes after a few hours and saw someone wearing a blue dress reading a book on the couch, he rubbed his eyes to get the sleep out of them, when his vision cleared, he saw that it was lyra. She was so engrossed in the book she was reading she didn't know when he woke up till, he cleared his throat.
Lyra was startled and almost jumped out of her own skin, she finally managed to regain her composure and threw her book at him in anger.
"you idiot! You almost scared me to death"
Renjiro burst into a fit of laughter, he had never seen her act that scared even when she and zephyrus were kids and a snake attacked them she stood her ground and killed it, but this was a pleasant surprise.
"you really think it's funny" she said with both hands on her waist
"I am sorry it really wasn't voluntary, my throat felt itchy" renjiro apologized and walked to the bathroom to wash his face.
By the time he was out the look on lyra's face had changed from that of anger to concern. "Are you alright" she asked
"of course, nothing much happened, I just lost consciousness for a few hours because I poked my nose in a matter that had nothing to do with me" renjiro said with a carefree smile
"we checked each and every corner of the house but we couldn't find you, and when we did you were putting on our school's uniform"
"I think someone was trying to play a prank but trust me, it's all good now I am better I promise" renjiro said beating his chest confidently
"what did you say happened before you lost consciousness" lyra asked
"I heard people battling each other in the garden and went to check it out but I lost consciousness before I could see any of the combatants" he replied
"but there were no signs of battle around the whole area, not even a trace. Are you sure that's what you heard?" lyra asked again
"I'm telling you the truth" renjiro said trying to sound convincing enough for lyra to leave the case alone.
"if what he is saying is true that means that our continent has gotten more dangerous, I have to tell mother about this" lyra thought to herself.
"are we still going to the neighboring town today" renjiro asked trying to change the subject.
"there is no way that's possible after what happened and by the way it's already too late for us to leave" lyra said. "by the way little Isolde asked me to hand this over to you" she handed him a blue bracelet that had flowery patterns on them.
"tell her I said thanks and I'd come visiting soon enough" renjiro said with a smile
"that's what you said the last time, well I'm off. I just dropped by to check on you" lyra said and waved him goodbye.
"I am serious about visiting, give little Isolde my thanks" renjiro said waving her goodbye.
Renjiro flopped back onto him bed wondering how he was going to pass time, he wanted to head for the simulation room but decided against it, he had to map out a plan on how to improve on his abilities, he reached for his tablet which was on the his bedside table, like his previous world this present world also had something that was just like the internet, as a matter of fact virtually all the gadgets and machinery were the same just that in this world they were more futuristic and efficient. There was an app for people looking to engage in sexual rendezvous, he was about opening up the app when someone knocked on the door.
