Chapter 100 - Nicholas' ride in Russell's Bus

Third person POV

 Later, at breakfast time, in the estate's dining room, Russell served some simple, yet tasty and filling breakfast food to Prince Nicholas, his entourage, and Marcel. The food consisted of fried eggs, fried strips of pork, and some whole wheat bread and some white cheeses. For drinks, Russell prepared a kettle of hot, liquid black coffee and another kettle of fresh milk, as well as a metal container containing brown, refined sugar. The time was 7:17 a.m.

 "Eat up, Your Highness," Russell said to the crowned prince as he sat down and eat up.

Nicholas and the others grabbed their utensils and ate up.

Those people were enamored by his food, but Nicholas, for his self-image and manners, reacted solemnly and with noble manner.

 "This food of yours is so good!" one of his two attendants. "You're really good at making this one with cuts of pork."

 "Yes, thank you," Russell replied back while eating his slice of whole wheat bread with a piece of fried pork strip, and a slice of white cheese.

The young bus driver had cut the pork into strips and coated them with flour and eggs, before deep frying them in olive oil.

 "Your breakfast for today was really good, May-san," Nicholas solemnly and positively said to Russell.

 "Yes, thank you, sir," Russell replied back.

 While having breakfast with them, Russell showed his way of making coffee to them with his ingredients in containers, The order for him to do so is like this: liquid black coffee, liquid milk, and a tablespoon of sugar. After that, he mixed them in a ceramic mug and took a sip of it, tasting its aromatic flavor that gave him nostalgia of his previous life. Nicholas and the others, except for Marcel, were amazed to see such a unique way of making a cup of coffee.

 "Amazing…"

 "That way of making coffee is so different…"

After putting his mug down, Russell said to them, "And that's how I made my daily cup of coffee."

 "That's quite amazing, Russell," Nicholas responded back to him. "Can you make some for us?"

 "Sure, sure, I got this."

And so, Russell made some cups of coffee for them using his method and order.

After that, he served them to them. "Here you go."

Nicholas and his entourage took a sip of them and were amazed by its taste.

They really liked it a lot, much to Russell's joy.

 After breakfast, Nicholas asked Russell for a favor. Russell, who was now gathering the leftovers for his party and group, then replied back, "Sure, what is it?"

 "Can I have a ride in your bus for the day?"

Russell was now done gathering the leftover food and was very surprised to hear that. "What? You want to ride my bus for an entire day?"

And then, his party and group came downstairs for breakfast, only to become fully awake and shocked when they saw Prince Nicholas and his entourage.

 "Eh?!"

 "Your Highness?"

 "What is going on here?"

Nicholas and Russell then looked at them.

 "Oh, morning," Russell briefly and calmly responded back.

 "Good morning to all of you," Nicholas positively added.

 "What are you doing here?" Azalea asked.

 "I am here to teach Russell some lessons in sword fighting," Nicholas replied back while standing up, "and now, I'll be coming with Russell in his bus for the day, seeing what was his routine for today looked like."

Russell then decided to accept the crowned prince's request. "Yes, of course, Your Highness. I'll be changing my clothes to my bus driver's attire."

As Russell went off to change his clothes, his party and group sat down and ate the leftovers while not questioning the crowned prince's intentions of riding in Russell's bus.

 After some time, Russell came back in his bus driver's uniform and led Prince Nicholas outside to his bus. There he opened the door with his ignition. "Come in." Prince Nicholas went in first, then Russell second. Azalea and John then decided to come, as well as Nathan.

The dragon family decided to refrain from coming with them for now, preferring to stay at the estate with Marcel.

Nicholas sat down on one of the vacant seats, feeling how comfortable it was.

 "These seats are really comfortable as the seats of my horse carriage," the crowned prince complimented.

 "Yes, thank you," Russell replied back while sitting down on his driver's seat, before buckling his seatbelt and turning on the engine using his same ignition key.

Azalea, Nathan, and John then settled down as well.

 "Are you ready, Your Highness?" Russell asked Nicholas as he held the steering wheel.

 "Yes, where are we going first?" Nicholas asked back, expecting an answer from the young Renad.

 "First, we'll go to the Inner District in Fort Right to pick up any potential passengers."

 "Okay, let it be."

With that Russell closed the door and shifted his gear to Drive, before leaving the estate in his bus and heading to the Inner District to do some picking up of potential passengers.

His destination after Fort Right is Marewell Town, which was located southeast from Fort Right.
