Chapter 111: Ruler

“Ah. Since you’re in the East kingdom, I just wanted to ask…” I said.

“What?” Rio asked.

“Err… I’m curious as to who will be the next ruler of the East?” I asked.

“Huh?” they looked at each other.

“What?” I asked.

Rio grinned. Oril sighed. “Why would I tell you?” Rio said and they went away.

“Ah, wait!” I said. I sighed. “… damn it.” I muttered and messed my hair. “How will I know… wait. Why am I so hung up on finding out who will be the next East ruler, anyway?” I asked.

“Hmm… why, is it?” I heard a voice behind me speak.

I turned. My eyes went wide when I saw who it was. I immediately opened the door of the balcony. “Chris!” I exclaimed and was about to hug her when she suddenly stepped back. My forehead knotted.

She grimaced. “Ah... somebody will get jealous.” she said.

I frowned. “We’re best friends… so who could – ah.” I said and frowned. “That Sage of the East kingdom.” I said and glared.
