Chapter 82: The Crown Prince (part 1)

Lysara smiles faintly. "Of course, good different," she says, her tone warm.

Lysara tilts her head slightly, studying him for a moment before changing the subject. "By the way, his Majesty invited me to attend the prince's birthday celebration tonight."

"Sounds fancy," Azure replies nonchalantly.

"It is," she says with a small smirk. "And… I want you to be my date."

Azure raises an eyebrow at her, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. "Your date, huh? That part of my job description?"

"Consider it an extension of your duties," Lysara replies. "After all, I'll need protection at the event. Who better than you?"

He grins, shaking his head. "Alright, fair enough. I'll go. But not just because of the duty part."

"Oh?" Lysara's expression shifts, intrigued. "Then why?"

Azure's grin widens slightly. "The food. Fancy parties like these always have amazing food."
