Like We Never Left

Crossing over the Earth Land to reach the Sun Land, Tria and company did not take long to arrive in the capital.

"It's like we never left," Tria said.

"I didn't go out much, to remember what it was like but it does seem to be about the same," Crei said.

Chukah did not comment, he has only been here once and it was not a pleasant memory since he was mostly on edge from meeting his little sister's husband.

Hepri on the hand was having a blast on his own, his eyes were traveling over everything and everyone. He wanted to eat almost all the street food available.

"Everyone looks the same, I've never seen such a feat before," Hepri said while starting at the uncomfortable crowds of people.

The unknown Land had all kinds of people, it was not odd for the crowds to be diverse, it would not be a good thing either since diversity was something all the tribes wanted to support. Now that Hepri was seeing the difference, he was quite fascinated.

"All this munching got me hungry, husband let's pay a visit to Settle, shall we?" Tria invited Crei.

"With pleasure," Crei answered happily, they were finally back home, they could now be a normal couple again.

'Ah, it's also been a while since I've tasted her lips,' Crei was thinking, unaware of the sensual glare he was giving to Tria's lips.

Tria to tease him, licked her lips, making them look moist.

Crei's eyes widened but quickly woke up from his daydream when Tria laughed at him.

"Let's go already I am starving," Tria said.

Hepri and Chukah followed them as well.

Tria also missed teasing Crei and spending time alone with him, now that they were back and had no urgent matter to take care of, she could finally think of these moments.

After a while, they arrived at Seti's restaurant, and there was a line of people from the upper class waiting for available tables to dine in.

Tria and Crei were technically the owners of the restaurant, therefore they did not need to stand in line so they passed everyone and were about to walk in.

When they arrived at the front, everyone turned to see the incoming beauty along with her handsome companions.

This apparition would be the first in months since the third prince, along with her princess had set foot in public. People had figured that they were still in their longing period, and were still getting to know each other.

Tria was still beautiful as ever, she was no longer the brawny little girl, who'd always have her head down. She proudly walked up the few stairs in the lobby of the restaurant, and it was not until she had gone in that people had realized they were staring intently.

"Hey! If you know what's good for you, you better get back in line!" shouted a guard who was accompanying a group of girls.

Giggling, the girls gossiped in-between themselves but loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"Please, just a good for nothing who has been eating well."

"She's not even that pretty, besides what's beauty if you have no talent."

"She must be so proud of her crippled husband, I guess he's not crippled in bed."

"Hahaha," they shamelessly laughed in unison with blushed faces.

Their conversation did reach Tria's ears and with a smirk, she simply kept on walking.

"Indeed, it really feels like I never left."

Seti who was upstairs had rushed down when she heard Tria had come back.

"Mistress! Mistress!" Seti happily called while running towards Tria.

"Seti!" Tria smiled at her.

"So glad to see you, and welcome back, please follow me, I have a room exclusively for you ready to dine in," Seti said, waving at everyone to follow her.

She did not forget to smile at Crei in greetings, waved at Chukah, and raising an eyebrow at Hepri. Seti did not know who it was, and she didn't want to be disrespectful with Tria's guest, so she slightly smiled.

As she was about to walk ahead, the girls who were gossiping ran inside to stop her.

"Madame Seti, how could you let newcomers cut in front of waiting customers, that is not how you run a business eh?!" one of the girls criticized.

Seti who was just smiling walked in front of her with a serious face.

"You're General Tu's daughter right? I was wondering which young lady lacked so much respect and class to not even greet royalty when they see them, and to even tell me how to run my business, how gutsy!"

The group of girls froze realizing their crimes, and looked at Tria with tears in their eyes, ready to cry.

Tria acted like she didn't see them, and continued walking forward with Seti leading.
