A noble?

" Please don't let the food get cold, eat "

Romulus said, watching as Ean looked at the food with a hesitant expression, meanwhile, Shu just began to eat

" And don't worry about the amount, my servants have made plenty "

Romulus added, seeing as Ean grabbed a fork and a knife, eating of the food slowly, whilst Shu practically absorbed every piece of food he put in his mouth, not bothering to chew most of the time.

" Father, how could you let an animal like him into our castle? "

Arthur said while looking over at Shu who continued to eat his food, finishing it quickly while the maids quickly replaced his plates with new ones filled with food

" Well, he won the tournament, did he not? "

Romulus questioned, turning to look at his son with a small smile

" No, Arthur is right sir, Shu has no manners whatsoever, he'll ruin your castle "

Ean said, adding to Arthur's comment, making the blue-haired boy turn to look at him

" A castle isn't all that important. I can just have my elites make me a new one "

Romulus replied, glaring at Arthur for a bit before turning to look at Ean who avoided his gaze, afraid of what the king might do to him

" Yes of course your majesty "

Ean whispered, continuing to eat slowly, keeping his head down, to not only avoid looking at Romulus but also at Arthur

" Arthur let's fight again "

Shu said, irritating Arthur a bit and surprising both Ean and Romulus, who stared at him with their eyes wide open

" What did you just say? "

Arthur whispered, loud enough for everyone at the table to hear, making Shu smile in return

" I wanna fight you again, but—not today of course "

Shu continued while grabbing a plate filled with stake from one of the maids, looking up at her with a smile, and proceeding to eat from it

" If not today, then when? "

Arthur questioned, staring at the boy with anger in his eyes

"Every day. I want you to be my rival, just like Ean is "

Shu replied, with a face of innocence while pointing his dirtied finger over at Ean

" Oh really? "

Arthur whispered, as he slowly stood up from his chair, his energy's pressure pressing against the table, cracking some of the plates and forks, while glaring at Shu

" Yes, really "

Shu said, shoving a rice ball in his mouth, eating it completely, before turning to look back at his food, proceeding to eat from it yet again

" Do you truly believe your anywhere near my strength? Having someone as a rival means you consider them to be at your level, but you're weaker than me! "

Arthur yelled, while aggressively pointing his index finger at Shu, who simply smirked while looking over at him

" Then why did you lose to me? "

Shu questioned, raising his right eyebrow as his smirk turned into a grin, seeing as Arthur charged at him, but to Shu's disappointment, Romulus stopped him

" That's enough Arthur!! "

Romulus yelled, stopping his son right in his tracks, making him bite his lip in irritation, leaving the room right afterward, angry at both Shu and his father

" Sorry about that Shu, he doesn't really like losing "

Romulus said, apologizing to the albino who simply kept eating

" Why did you make him leave? We were just about to fight "

Shu questioned, glaring at Romulus while Ean, who watched the two of them talk, began to sweat nervously

" You guys would have ruined the food, the maids worked so hard to make, don't you think that would be rude? "

Romulus replied, raising an eyebrow, as Shu simply sighed, giving up, not wanting to argue with this man

" Anyway, you called me here for a reason, what was it? "

Shu questioned while shoving rise in his mouth, chewing loudly as Ean got slightly intrigued

" Oh right, I almost forgot, I'll tell you right away, but your friend needs to leave "

Romulus said, looking at Ean, who rapidly began to sweat, looking down at the table In fear

" Ean, would you mind leaving? "

Shu questioned, looking over at his friend, who nodded, standing up from the chair, leaving the room with quick steps

" Alright, speak. How do you know I'm a Himura? "

Shu questioned, glaring at the king with not very good intentions in his mind

" Well, it's simple really, Himura's give off a weird smell, which can only be sensed, by those at my level "

Romulus replied, answering Shu's question with honesty

" Alright then, why did you ask for me to come here? "

Shu questioned, chewing his food slowly, while looking at Romulus up and down, to make sure he wasn't planning anything weird

"I invited you here, so that you, can become a noble. A high ranking one "

Romulus explained, causing Shu to tilt his head in confusion

" For me to become a noble? "

Shu replied, unsure of what Romulus's intentions were

" Well, the Himura's are practically abnormal beings when it comes to fighting, even prodigies can't hold a candle to the Himura clan, each one of you Himura is blessed with a certain talent, so imagine having a family of Himuras as nobles in my Kingdom "

Romulus explained, smiling while staring at Shu who couldn't help but think to himself

" Why a noble? If I'm so strong, why don't you just ask me to become a knight or something "

Shu asked, staring at the man, but now intrigued, as Romulus grinned, seeing as the boy became more interested in the conversation

" Well, if you become a noble, you'll have no other choice but to reproduce, making even more Himuras. Not only will I get what I want from this, but you also will, considering that you'll be able to do whatever you want once your a high ranking noble "

Romulus explained, seeing as Shu began to think, trying to wrap his head around this situation, rubbing his chin while staring at ceiling, that innocent look, ruling over his constant curious like expression

" So, what do you say? "

" I- "
