"PRINCE LVLE HAS RETURNED!"

Uni was looking at the guard as if he was crazy. Although he didn't believe it, Uni still turned to Lvle for confirmation. "He's not being serious, right?"

Lvle was silent for a moment. He had a guilty look and his face, "I never intended to keep it a secret, but I never really got around to saying it due to the circumstances."

Uni was once again speechless.

Uni thought about how lucky his life got out of nowhere and how most of it started when he met Lvle.

Eventually, snapping out of it, Uni said something under his breath.

"How could you?" Although it was quiet, Lvle still heard it. This left Lvle thinking he should've told him about being a prince earlier.

"Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" Before Lvle finished speaking, he was but off by Uni running up to him.

"How could you think this is a bad thing?! I mean, you are literally a Prince! How cool is that?!" After Uni was told that Lvle was Prince, the things that happened recently started playing back in his mind.

First, he got some strange power system, then met the prince of Klosa. Finally, he discovered a mythical Apple that grants you godly power.

This was keeping him in a shocking state, and that's why it took him a while to process everything. Then he saw Lvle looking downcast because he believed Uni didn't appreciate that he told him so late.

"You mean you're not angry?" Lvle was confounded by Uni's response.

"You must be joking! How could I be mad? What makes you even think that?"

Lvle face was red from embarrassment, ^I can't believe I got the wrong idea^

Four people came out of the palace before this sweet moment could last any longer.

It consisted of, a man with a crown, a lady, and a girl. They all gave off this strange aura that made them seem high in stature.

The second they laid eyes on Lvle, everyone started crying. The lady was first to walk up to him, caressing his face. "I can't believe it. My baby came home!" She said while balling her eyes out.

The rest of the people also started walking up to Lvle while sobbing uncontrolled. They all surrounded him and gave Lvle a bear hug.

"You don't know how much we checked. How long we checked. We looked for you everywhere, but there was no trace of you." The lady said.

"We all thought you were dead. How could you do that to us." The girl said

Lvle was now also crying along with them, hugging everyone back. "I'm sorry. It was selfish and immature. I should've never left. I love you all."

Standing off to the side, Uni thought this reunion was lovely. He also felt like he was intruding on private family matters. Feeling awkward, Uni started to slowly back away from them, but he received an unexpected message from the system.

[Warning: Another system user is nearby]

[Proceed with caution]

"What!!" Uni's yelling caught all of their attention as they stopped to look at him.

Looking at him, Lvle forgot to introduce him from all the emotions. Wiping away his tears, Lvle ran up next to Uni.

"Sorry for not introducing him earlier, but this is someone I met along the way back here."

"Even though I just met him, I think he's trustworthy."

Uni's concentration kept on getting twisted. He tried to figure out who the message was talking about while also introducing himself to his family.

"My name is Uni. Nice to meet you."

The family started staring at him with an odd look and their faces. Then they turned to Lvle, "Did you use your Petal on him?"

Lyle's family seemed pretty skeptical if Uni was actually Trust worth.

"Mom, that was the first thing I did when I met him. I not just some immature child anymore."

The mom started laughing, "You sure? Your actions beg to differ."

"Ok, mom, we get the picture."

Looking towards Uni, the mom started walking up to him. "I'm sorry for this, but I have to be cautious."

Uni was perplexed, "What do you mea-" The lady then processed to grab Uni's forehead, as her eyes started glowing yellow.

The lady used a similar ability that Lvle has, but it was much more powerful.

"Mom, stop!" it was a moment before she stopped doing it. When she grabbed his forehead, Uni was brought into a strange place where his mind felt empty.

Once he got out of it, Uni was quite shaken up, as he could barely stand up straight. "I'm sorry for that. I needed to make sure soul was at least pure white."

"Mom, I told you I already checked it. Why did you do that?"

"Although you do have the Eyes of Apollo, It's still at a deficient level, and some scans may be incorrect."

Uni understood why she did that. They're the royal family. They can't just let someone who isn't trustworthy in their home. But Uni wasn't didn't even care for that. He was still trying to figure out who the other user might be.

^Now that I think about it, when I first got the system, it said that I was the second player^

Looking around, there were a lot of people surrounding them. This made it impossible to pinpoint the actual person with the system. They were probably excited to see the King and Queen up close.

Little did Uni know, As soon as Lvle said his name, the girl was staring at him nonstop. And she also got the same message from her system telling her that another system user was nearby. ^This has to be him. This has to be the one I was looking for^

Anna noticed that he was looking around. ^He probably also got the message and is trying to find me^

Walking up to Uni, Anna introduced herself. "Hello, I would like to thank you for bringing my brother back in piece."

Uni smiled at her comments, "If anything, it's your brother who helped ME come back in one piece. Without him, I would've fallen off a cliff and died." Uni joked.

Hearing that was even more confirmation. "Well, it doesn't matter, my name is Anna, and I am the princess of this city, and it's nice to meet you."

"Um, my name is Uni, and just a regular guy. Nice to meet you." Uni felt kinda uncomfortable. Many people were looking at them, and Uni could sense the judgment in their eyes.

"He's just a regular guy. He said it himself."

"Who is this bum, and how is he worth talking to our princess."

"Wait until I see him by himself. I'm gonna end him."

Almost every guy there was jealous that Uni could even talk to the princess. Anna noticed that he was unsettled, so she tried to comfort him.

"It's ok. Don't worry about those hecklers. All they do is talk." as she said this, Anna touched his shoulder.

This caused Uni's system to do something strange.
