Hidden intention

This weather again, I don't know what to do with it, it's been raining slowly for a week, it's destroying my will to live.

Eliza: - Mizeya.

The girl is running after me.

Mizeya: - I'm busy, what do you want, Eliza?

Eliza: - I would just like to thank you for what you did for me.

She plants a kiss on Mizeya's cheek, causing her to blush appropriately.

Mizeya: - Hah!? If you'll excuse me, I'll go to work...

He starts to walk a little faster and then leaves the castle.

Aika: - What! Where are you going?

Why is everyone looking for me now? Since when did I become such an important person in this kingdom? Mizeya thought to himself.

Mizeya: - I am at your service, princess, why are you looking for me?

Aika: - Nothing special, I'm just curious, where are you going in this rain?

As I look at the girl, I can see that my bargain and conversation with the king had enough effect, maybe she will have a little more respect for me now.

Mizeya: - Either way, I'm going back to Syronida tomorrow morning, I have to take care of something.

Aika: - Does my father knows this?

No need to lie, princess, I know you've known about my trip home for a long time, you want to keep me here, but why?

Mizeya: - I discussed this with him first, so I intend to go with his majesty's consent.

Aika: - It's a shame, but I hoped you'd stay at least a few more weeks.

So the princess does intend to keep me here... Mizeya thought to himself.

Mizeya: - Princess?

Aika: - Don't get me wrong, only recently my father trusts you enough, so much so that I could go with you, the experience doesn't hurt me either.

Mizeya: - So the princess also wants to come with me? Why don't you say so right away?

Or does the king want to make sure I don't run away...

Aika: - It's been a long time since I've seen a place outside the kingdom, I can't miss this opportunity.

Mizeya: - Okay, but I'm telling you right now, we won't be there for long.

Aika: - Good for me.

I wanted to finish it quickly on my own, but I'm not even sure I'll be able to get the book, I'd have to betray my teammates, I'll figure something out.

Abigail: - Ritoooo!

As usual, the young clown performs the king, with an amazing card game, and then, looking away, he sees the elf girl.

Rito: - My king, if you allow me, I have something to take care of.

The boy is a bit confused, but apparently, it's a crucial matter.

Naofuda: - Would it be that important? Go.

He goes to Abigail.

Rito: - What happened now? Did you find Mizeya?

Abigail: - I found him, but he knows that I've been following him for a while.

Rito: - Don't worry about him, where was he?

Abigail: - In the library, looking for Eliza.

Rito: - Then there's nothing wrong, go back and keep watching.

The girl is in a pretty good mood, she expected more.

Abigail: - Nothing thanks?

Rito: - Why, what did you expect?

Abigail: - I hate you!

The girl is disappeared.

Rito: - Abigail!

I wish I had my old power, why is it gone? No matter how many times I ask Abigail about this, she doesn't answer...

The fraction of my tireless body that I can use, I don't have much time left, will that be enough for the boy? Or is this world completely doomed?

A candlestick is broken, maybe they will ask you why? Or they just don't notice it, they don't care about it, the others wouldn't even notice it, it's just an object.

Eliza: - Leave it alone.

I completely forgot about my trip tomorrow, so I damaged the library a bit.

Mizeya: - Can I take this book?

She looks at me with that too-kind and honest face and then tells me.

Eliza: - Of course, but why is the clown at the door looking at you?

Mizeya: - Clown? Oh, or so.

I turn around and there he is.

What can you want from me? Too many people come to me these days, I wouldn't say I like it... Or am I just overthinking it all?

Rito: - We are having a nice day, aren't we, young man?

Mizeya: - Don't play dumb, why did you come here?

Rito: - I'd like to talk to you a bit.

He took me to a room with a completely different feel, let's say a small castle, which was spread over a huge horizontal smooth foundation, completely connected to the big castle, but we could also call it a mirrored castle.

Mizeya: - Why did you bring me here?

Rito: - Stay quiet for a while.

His speaking style has changed a lot, so you're showing off your teeth. Mizeya thought to himself.

Rito: - Look.

He pointed to a black cat who was going somewhere but with careful steps.

Mizeya: - A cat, what should I look at?

Rito: - Come with me.

We just started following the cat, it goes all the way into one of the biggest rooms inside the small castle, then stops in the middle of it, look at something, but what?

With her further steps, which she takes with her little paw, she is now more and more powerful, and braver, her goal is already close. She goes to the area behind a huge vase of flowers, where a group of small cats is already waiting for her and, as I can see, it's feeding time.

Rito: - But they are cute.

Mizeya: - Is this serious? Is that why you brought me here? I'd rather go to work.

Suddenly, it catches my shoulder, and then it's like a vast wind wave goes through my whole body.

Rito: - Wait, I haven't finished yet.

Mizeya: - But you finished.

I walked past the clown with nice slow movements, as if I were walking on a normal day.

Rito: - Don't rush anything, you have time, you'll see, he'll come to you.

I barely heard the other half of what he was saying, but I'm not worried about that, it's just a court jester...
