The black blade

We reached the castle in due time. Just inside the castle gates, our minister was waiting for us and so was Zack. There were some other people here too but I just ignored them. 

Alisa and the minister talked in hushed whispers. 

It was almost like I was watching a drama. But oh well. 

"Daarc!"

I heard a shout from my left. 

Apparently, the pretty boy had arrived and he seemed pretty happy to see me.

I kind of wanted to punch him, but in the end, decided not to. 

"Hey."

"Thanks for the other day." He looked at me with admiring eyes. I kind of wished he didn't. "I'll lead you to the showhouse."

Gorgon was dressed pretty nicely today and he had a rather dashing smile- the kind you'd want to punch him for.

"Show-house?"

"It's a royal room filled with our treasures and we show it to the high nobles and royals from other countries."
