City Lord's Predicament

 

Reiner still couldn't believe it...

 

He came here not expecting much only to be met with a shockingly pleasant surprise. He had severely underestimated Cedric and hadn't seen it coming, truly. He initially thought that Cedric was just another pretty boy with some skills, but it turned out that he was wrong. All of them were wrong.

 

Actually, he's being shameless here, saying that Cedric has given him a lot of face when in truth, he hardly deserved it. He did nothing for the boy yet the kid brought him an immense present. He's actually feeling a little guilty right now.

 

"I'm glad I didn't disappoint you then..." Cedric replied, still looking and sounding a bit tired but the glimmer in his gaze remained.

 

"You sure didn't." Reiner snorted lightheartedly. "Let's get outta here. You need rest. I won't be too late to tell you all I know about the academy once you've recovered."
