Chapter 15 - Meeting

The next morning was the day Kaiser and Amelia had promised to spend time together Today, Kaiser didn't need Farah to wake him up

He had already prepared himself early for his meeting with the Zephyros continent's princess. Today, he made sure to style his hair as perfectly as possible. After a while, it was time for Farah to barge into his room

The door flew open, and Farah appeared, dashing straight toward Kaiser's bed

"Huh? Where is Kaiser?" Farah asked, confused, as she rummaged through the bed, her tail wagging incessantly

"Farah, I'm here" Kaiser said, appearing behind her

Startled by the voice behind her, Farah reflexively threw a pillow straight at Kaiser's face. Because they were so close, Kaiser had no time to react,the pillow hit him square in the face, knocking him to the floor

Realizing she had used too much strength, Farah panicked and rushed to help Kaiser up

"Sorry, Kaiser. You surprised me" Farah said, pulling the pillow off Kaiser's face

"Oh my…" Farah's mouth hung open as she looked at Kaiser

"You're trying to impress her, aren't you?" A smile spread across her face

Before her stood a lively Kaiser. He was wearing a black sweater paired with matching pants. Although his hair had become messy from Farah's pillow throw, it did little to diminish his handsome appearance

"Why did you throw it so hard?" Kaiser, now standing, asked, his face showing a hint of annoyance

"I forgot to adjust my strength" Farah said, scratching her head sheepishly

Kaiser, unsure how to respond to Farah's silliness, simply turned to the mirror to fix his hair. Seeing what he was about to do, Farah offered to help

"Let me do that for you"

Kaiser nodded and handed her the comb

While Farah was combing his hair, Kaiser asked, "Have you woken Zani up yet?"

"Don't worry about that, she always wakes up when I do. She just likes lying in bed to read" Farah replied

"So, you really like that princess, huh?" she asked

"She's too beautiful for me not to fall for her" Kaiser answered

"You're very handsome yourself. I think she quite likes you too," Farah said with a smile

"Really? Then do you think a commoner could marry a princess?" Kaiser looked at her and asked

Hearing this, Farah frowned "Aren't you moving a bit too fast?"

"Slow down. First, focus on making the best impression" she said

"By the way, do you have any accessories?" Farah asked

"No, Myreni only bought me clothes" Kaiser replied

"Well, I'll lend you my necklace. It'll make you look even more dashing" she said, stopping her task of combing his hair

"Go over to Zani's room and get her out of bed. I'll grab the necklace from my room" she added, heading out the door

Kaiser glanced in the mirror, satisfied with his neatly styled hair, and headed toward Zani's room

Standing in front of her door, he knocked and called out loudly "Hey, Zani! Are you ready? We're about to leave"

After a moment, the door opened, revealing Zani wearing a black sweater that matched Kaiser's. The two looked at each other silently for a moment

"You look beautiful" Kaiser said first.

"You look good in that outfit too" Zani replied, her eyes scanning him briefly

At that moment, Farah's door burst open, and a flash of gold zipped past

"Oh, so we're matching outfits, huh?" Farah teased, pointing at Zani and Kaiser.

"Well, I'll change to match you guys too. Kaiser, wear this" she said, tossing a silver necklace at him before dashing back into her room

Kaiser quickly caught the necklace. The silver necklace featured a crescent moon-shaped pendant. It looked very elegant and sophisticated. He then turned to Zani

"Can you help me put this on?"

Zani nodded, taking the necklace and stepping behind him to fasten it around his neck.

Not long after, Farah emerged from her room wearing a black sweater identical to theirs. The three of them left the house and headed to the meeting spot with Amelia

When they arrived, Kaiser spotted a striking figure with white hair in the distance. As they got closer, he was sure it was Amelia. She appeared to be looking around, seemingly searching for him. When their eyes met, a faint blush appeared on Amelia's face. Kaiser approached her

"Hello, Amelia" he greeted

"Why would you keep a lady waiting?" Amelia turned away, pouting

Kaiser struggled to think of a response. He had tried to arrive early to wait for her, but he was surprised to find she had come even earlier. He couldn't say "You just arrived too early" so he chose a more reasonable reply

"Sorry, I was trying my best to prepare and look good before meeting you, so I couldn't arrive earlier" he said, placing a hand on his chest and bowing slightly, showing his sincerity

Amelia softened "I can see the effort you put in"

She looked at Kaiser, whose neatly combed hair and black turtleneck sweater paired with matching pants gave him a polished appearance. His look was further enhanced by the silver moon necklace resting around his neck

In fact, ever since they entered the market area, many people had been glancing at Kaiser because of his charm. Kaiser noticed their looks and felt quite confident in his appearance

"You look as beautiful as ever" he said to Amelia as she scanned him from head to toe

The unexpected compliment flustered Amelia, her face turning as red as a tomato.

"Is that really Kaiser?" Zani asked Farah, as the two stood nearby, observing the scene

"I'm just as surprised. I can't believe the shy boy from the beginning is now shamelessly flirting with her" Farah replied, crossing her arms and wagging her tail

Once Amelia regained some composure, she pointed toward Farah and Zani and asked Kaiser "Are those two your sisters?"

"Yes, we were all adopted by the same person" he replied

"Let me introduce you to them" he said, leading her over

"Amelia, this is Farah and Zani. Farah, Zani, this is Amelia Zephis, the princess of this continent"

Hearing Amelia's title, Zani's expression shifted slightly, surprised that the flustered girl was a princess. She quickly composed herself and introduced herself

"Hello, Amelia. I'm Zani. It's a pleasure to meet you" she said, extending her hand

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Zani," Amelia replied, shaking her hand

When it was Farah's turn, a mischievous smile appeared on her face

"Hello, Amelia. I'm Farah, the one who will be your sister-in-law" she said while shaking Amelia's hand

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, no one said a word. Amelia's face turned as red as a tomato, Kaiser was speechless, and Zani squinted at Farah

As for Farah, she simply gave a radiant smile and wagged the tail behind her
