Alice rolled her eyes. “Hello…” she replied dryly.
She didn’t even turn to look at Theo’s but just sat there as if nothing.
A wry smile appeared on Theos’ lips, who sat right across from her.
Only a table separated them.
Alice’s cold eyes were not hidden in the least, nor was the angry expression on her face.
Seeing the menu just above the table, Theos grabbed it and began to read it.
‘There are several interesting dishes…’, he thought, reading the entire contents of the menu.
Just as he was about to finish reading the menu, a large shadow appeared, covering his entire body. Unlike Luna, where shadows are his Mana and Path, this shadow is simply natural.
Glancing to the side, Theos noticed that the waiter had arrived.
“Excuse me, what can I get you? Would you like a drink? Or would you also like some of the dishes from the menu,” the waiter spoke, directing almost all of his attention to him.
After all, it’s hard not to recognize him as the great heir to the Fallen family.
Theos glanced briefly at Alice, who still had a cold look on her face. Still, he wanted to speak to her. “Alice, what will you ask?” he asked.
“Nothing,” she replied instantly.
Theos frowned slightly. “Well, I’ll have an orange juice with melted cheese sandwich,” he ordered, handing the menu to the waiter
“Fine, I’d bring it right over, sir,” the waiter affirmed, grabbing the menu and walking away.
Even he sensed the tension between the two.
Seeing the waiter leaving, Theos turned his attention back to the woman in front of him, Alice.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked Theos, finding Alice’s behavior somewhat odd.
He had already thought that something like this would happen, after all, it’s not much fun that he, her boyfriend, had disappeared for several days.
On top of that, he had disappeared with a girl…
“You… You were in Luna’s room yesterday, weren’t you?”, with a small blush on her cheeks, she said.
She still hadn’t withdrawn her cold gaze and angry expression… However, those flushed cheeks with that expression made Theos think that it was certainly quite charming.
‘Wait,’ Theos realized… She had discovered that he was in Luna’s room!
His expression showed disbelief. “How did you know?” he asked, holding nothing back.
‘Why hide it? She already knew.
She rolled her eyes. “How could I not know? I know your scent perfectly. On my way out, I noticed that Luna’s whole room had your scent…”
Hearing this, Theos was even more shocked, mostly because she said it as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Did he sense her scent from such a distance?
He felt a shiver down his back.
“Ahem…,” Theos coughed slyly and continued with a comment, “Luna was happy for now being able to save her parents, that’s why I went there, to party with her, but I didn’t know we were going to get to that situation…”
Theos’ feigned guilty and regretful tone did not affect Alice.
She stared at him, even without blinking.
“Oh, you’re sorry?” she asked with a frown.
“No,” Theos answered immediately, dropping the pleasantries.
He would never regret something like that; he is honest and sincere; making love with Luna was not something with which he would be ashamed or regret; if anything, it is quite the opposite; he was proud and happy about it.
He loved her, and she loved him, too; there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing Theos’ sincerity, Alice revealed a small smile at the corners of her lips.
“I like that you’re sincere,” she said, continuing. “However, I’m still upset that you’d rather visit Luna than me, I could have given you the same thing, you know?”
This last statement made her blush deeply, but she didn’t back down.
Looking at the current Alice, Theos could only shake his head. ‘No doubt, she’s quite jealous… Too much, although it’s normal,’ he thought.
‘No girl would want her boyfriend to be messing around with other women, right? Alice, who loved him so much, even to a degree of insanity according to the system, it’s a miracle in itself that she hasn’t done something crazy yet.
Theos looked at her with gentle eyes, reaching out his hand, he lightly caressed Alice’s face.
‘Damn, why such a charming smile and eyes? That’s cheating… No woman would resist,’ Alice thought, annoyed with herself.
She couldn’t even fake her annoyed temper, falling without resistance to Theos’ caresses.
‘Oh, I know it’s only been a few days, but I truly miss this,’ Alice thought, floating her face against Theos’ hand.
They stayed like that for a few minutes. Until the waiter arrived to give Theos his food and drink.
He quickly left, watching the romantic and sugar-filled scene between the two.
‘Oh… In China I think they call this giving him dog food, don’t they,’ Theos thought as he watched the waiter quickly leave the place.
Seeing the dish in front of him, he had been prepared several sandwiches with melted cheese, which had undoubtedly been quite delicious.
“Do you want some?” he asked, seeing that he couldn’t eat all this alone.
Alice nodded with a smile. “Sure.”
Seeing her reaction and words, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Just a moment ago you were staring at me coldly and told me dryly that you didn’t want anything. Are you that quick to change? Are you bipolar?”
Alice blushed quite a bit. That could be a sick one she has.
In her mind, the possibility existed. However, how could she admit it just like that?
“Stop teasing me, please…” she pleaded shyly.
Hearing those words and Alice’s shy appearance, Theos felt a Déjá Vu. A while ago she had said something similar with the same expression.
Slowly withdrawing his hand from Alice’s face. He offered her one of the sandwiches, which she took and began to eat.
Peacefully the two ate and talked about multiple things, mostly everything that had happened since he left.
She told everything without leaving anything unreported.
But after a while, her eyes lit up.
“Right, I forgot to tell you… We have the princess of the kingdom as a classmate!”
