Ohhhhh this is the first time I am getting experience points

I looked around and saw myself standing in a long hall all alone, looked back and saw a loud party going on.

I realised that standing here and speaking to myself will be a very bad idea.

I went to the guest room assigned to me in the military headquarters.

The room next to me was my advisor's.

I went inside my room and it looked decent.

I sat on my bed and requested Luna to open the stats window.

It was the same old boring stats window.

I requested Luna to open the inventory.

I looked at the inventory. It was a magical space where you could store anything.

I have tried storing a lot of stuff in it, and it worked fine.

All the slots in the inventory were empty except one.

The slot contained 50 gold coins.

Those fifty gold coins were something I obtained during the party.

I did not receive it as a gift, I obtained it after pickpocketing 20 men.

Those men were so poor.

The party was the last thing on my agenda today, tomorrow I am returning to my palace.

I looked at the watch in my hand, and it said it was 9 o clock.

The watch which I wore was something which I found in my bedroom, it was in a secret space below my bed.

In that secret space I found a ring and this watch and some papers.

The ring looked simple; it had a black rim and a blue pearl.

But the watch was an amazing work of art.

This watch is decorated vastly with stones of different colours.

Looking at the watch made me ask a question to myself, why would a king hide some papers, a ring, and a watch.

I thought about going to sleep. That's when Luna spoke.

She asked, 'why do you want to know about Blade's past'

I didn't know what to say because I have been asking that same question myself.

Why was I curious about Blade ?

Why did I fight with him when he said I was not a king ?

Why???

After a lot of thought, I said, 'I don't know, why do you think I want to know about him?'

Luna thought for a moment and with a cheerful tone she said 'Maybe you are just trying to get to know him better so that you can be his friend'

I said 'ha, why would I do that, I am already his friend'

Luna said, 'Are you really his friend?'

I said 'yes, I am (unsure)'

Luna said, 'Then answer these questions'

I said 'okay'

She asked me, 'when is Blade's birthday?'

I said, 'I don't know'

She asked me, 'what is Blade's favourite colour'

I said, ' I don't know'

More questions followed, but the answers to all the questions were I don't know

Then Luna asked me the final question, I hoped that I could answer it.

The question was (mysterious) 'when did blade's first teeth fall'

I said ' (frustrated) are you kidding me Luna, even blade doesn't know the answer to that question'

Luna spoke with a little laughter in the voice ' ha ha, I was just messing around with you, in fact I don't know the answers to any of the questions I asked, but I do know that you know nothing about blade '

The fact which she stated made me feel angry and sad at the same time.

I said 'when I first met blade I only hired him because I thought maybe one day I and blade will pull off the biggest heist in the entire history of the world I was reincarnated into, but now I want to be friends with him not partners in crime '

After a few seconds of silence, Luna said 'you are a crazy and a very mysterious person to know, and you are the perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover'

I said, 'maybe I am' and went to sleep.
