Ch. 405 Young love

Elric soon found himself with his first "fishing buddy" that was not one of his wives' fathers or one of his soldiers, as the fragrance of young love filled the air. While he would normally welcome any and all distractions from courtly duties, he was never less thrilled about having a pole in the water than now. It wasn't that he was not enjoying the conversation and company provided by King Oakleaf, but the fact that he could not focus on fishing at the moment.

Elric found his mind wandering from the bobbing cork in the water to thoughts about the upcoming SS rank exploration quest that he wanted to use as a cover for hunting down hidden mages and ancient cities, and flashing to images of walking his daughters down the isle. The sounds of Titan stomping around the island as he gave his betrothed a ride around was scaring off the fish making it even harder to concentrate on the fishing.
