44 Lance‘s Troubles

The two of them travel through the various stalls that were out. Freaky sea food and many other delicious foods were being sold.

Angelica felt her mouth water and she moved her hand to her waist to take out her pouch but stopped.

She completely forgot about it!!!

She sighed and looked at the food longingly. It smelled so delicious that she almost wanted to steal it, to have a bite.

'Idiot!! How can you forgot your pouch! Now all you can do is look and not touch or eat it!!! Damn it!!!' She sighed many times in frustration.

Ivan looked at the woman who was pouting like a child and smiled. He walked up to the stall that had delicious meat skewers and paid for it before returning back to the woman.

"Here eat some, Alsa is a great sea food town and of course their sea food would be the best." He said.

Her eyes lit up like a little girl and she gladly took the food. "Thank you and sorry I don't have my pouch with me so thank for paying."

"Please, it's gentleman's job to help a beauty. Right?" Ivan smiled.

"Rogue." She rolled her eyes at him and ate to meat with delight.

The two of them enjoyed the night market with each other. Occasionally talking about random things.

Ivan looked at her expressive face and smiled warmly. For some reason she looked better when she was laughing and smiling in his eyes.

Thump. Thump. Thump. His heart started beating really fast that it made him startled.

'What's wrong with me?' He touched his chest.

"Hey, Prince. How long are we gonna stay here for?" That's at down near the water fountain as the ate some more food.

"Will be leaving tomorrow. Marcus has finally ready his power to teleport directly into the city of gold. We have a small hide out their with trusted people."

"Hmm, were basically sneaking in eh? Why would you need to do that?"

"Current the mission of finding a cure for the curse is top secret mission. Right now my group and I are under the disguise of being on a trip to the east due to some rebellious conflicts that in one way or another was true. But we are supposed to return by next month. That why for now will go into hiding."

"Ohh? I see? Conflicts... must be that group again."

Her gaze hardened.

"Ah but I am curious. How did you get you pink little girl?" She changed the topic.

"You mean Alina?"

"Yes. She is a unique magic user. But if I had to guess she uses healing magic the most right. And it definitely skilled at it."

"You are indeed correct. She was an child that Marcus saved. She should be around 20 if I'm not wrong."

She smiled sadly at his words, "20? What hell has she been living in so far then? Her ability to see Aura's. That type of stuff make her valuable human. You must protect her at all costs." She glanced at him.

Ivan nodded to her words. She wasn't wrong, Alina existence is a whole knew thing that even he who had lived for more than a hundred years didn't know of.

They quietly sat in deep thought. Both having different things to think about.

But at the inn. Things were a little bit more interesting.

Lance looked at the small wolves perched on his shoulders and then back to Alina who was looking at them curiously.

"What's wrong?" He asked Alina who was obviously looking at the two wolves who interest.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can I touched them? And hold them? And also cuddle with them?" She asked Lance with sparkling eyes.

Lance felt his brows twitch and he looked at the two wolves he didn't seem to leave him. Just what was wrong with these two?

"You have to ask Princess for that. She's their guardian." Lance helplessly said.

Alina's happy face instantly became a downcast one. She pouted and looked a little sad, making Lance feel lost.

Now what should he do? He sighed an patted her head, "Alina since their the princess friends you have it ask her. These wolves are special ones and their not so frien— I mean their not good with people."

'So that's why they their avoiding you.' But his argument didn't seem convincing.

Alina looked at both wolves and then back at Lance. "Lance are you lying to me? If their not good with people then why are they on your shoulders?"

'That's what I want to understand!!!' He screamed inwardly and looked at the two wolves who were quite for some reason.

"Alright, Alina go to sleep we are leaving tomorrow so get all the rest you can okay. If Marcus finds out you didn't rest he'll get super mad!"

Alina blinked at him, "Really mad?"

"Yes" he convinced her.

"Sounds fun!! What else should we do to get him mad?" She smiled.

Lance and the two wolves: "....."

Angelica looked at them and bursted out into laughter while holding her stomach since it hurt to laugh. Even Ivan had an amused expression when he looked at Lance.

'Ivan you bastard!!' Lance cursed him.

"You guys are so funny!! But he's right we're leaving tomorrow so do get all the sleep you can." She stopped laughing but her smiling face didn't leave, "Little girl that man is telling the truth. Let's go to sleep okay?" But she had already used her magic to lift Alina up and dragged her away.

The others: "....." that's one way to end the problem.

"Why are you guys avoiding her any ways? It's not like Alina's scary or anything?" Lance said after sitting down. He felt really tired all of sudden.

"Mister!! Don't you feel her magic or are you dumb?"

Lance felt ticked being called dumb and glared at Harry. "Who's dumb? I've already know how strong her magic is! Anyway why are you both sitting on me? Do I look like a tree to you?"

Harry looked at him innocently. Lance who had been mad suddenly deflated like a balloon. He can't anymore.

He just let the wolves be even though his shoulders were a bit heavy he didn't feel bothered by it.

But things suddenly took a turn and something interesting happened.
