Chapter 108: [Bonus chapter] Going To The Festival



The festival was bigger than I expected. There were a lot of people there. I hated crowds. It was suffocating. Perhaps that was why I had a headache not long after we went there.

"Are you enjoying yourself, Blue?" Mother asked.

"Yes, yes... it's fun," I said quickly so she would not suspect that I felt like my head would burst.

"That's good. Let's go look in the clothing store," Mother said excitedly. "I am not intending to buy anything. It's just good to look around."

"Alright," I smiled. If Mother was enjoying herself, then perhaps I should try to enjoy as well.

If I did not know she was Demetrius's mother, perhaps I would not believe that she was. She looked very young, kind of like his elder sister. It was truly surprising and amazing.

In the clothing store, there were lots of different types of dresses and fabrics. Women were very cheerful as they tried on the dresses and looked around the store. And just as I feared, Mother and her maid got separated from us. Ruby had already left to look around the festival on her own. She was very excited and said that she would try to find her mate here since there were a lot of people here.

"We got separated, huh?" I muttered.

"Yes, we better stay close. If you get lost, it will be hard to find you since I can't smell you," Ezekiel said. He had been avoiding calling me 'Your Highness' here since we came here hiding our identities. It would be bad if someone recognized us.

"You know what? You can call me by my name when we are here. It's weird to be called 'you'," I said.

"Alright, Blue," he smiled.

Being called by my name all of a sudden was weird. Only Mother called me by my name here. Dem almost never said my name. I noticed that he only said my name when he was angry and sometimes when we were doing it.

"It's the type of dress you wear most of the time, right," he said, touching an A-line dress.

"Yeah, they are comfortable," I said. "And besides, among the dresses here, I like them the best."

"What kind of clothes did you used to wear back in your world?"

"Well, I would wear jeans, or shorts and tops," I said.

"Shorts?"

"Yeah, it covers the upper part of the legs. It doesn't go down the knees."

"Is that what you were wearing when you first came here?"

I nodded. "I didn't think I would need to change. Now that I think about it, it was embarrassing since I did not even have any makeup on. Yikes, it was too embarrassing..."

"By the way, look, it's an empire line dress," I said, trying to change the topic. It was too embarrassing to talk about and I wanted to let go of that matter as soon as possible. "I wear them a lot as well."

"Oh, I have seen you wearing one like this once," he said. I was kind of surprised that he noticed that as well. No one usually noticed someone's dress so clearly.

"Well, I don't wear them much outside. I guess I will wear them more since they are comfortable," I said. Actually, there were so many dresses that it was pretty hard for me to choose. In the end, I ended up choosing the same types of dresses because that was easier than choosing a different kind every day. "Whoa! There are lehengas as well!"

"Are you talking about this long red dress?" he asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yep! In my world, this is an Indian dress. India is a country's name," I said. "Well, I'm kinda surprised to see it here."

"These types of dress are from Lacuna."

"Lacuna? Isn't that one of the five kingdoms?"

"Yes," he nodded. "Women in Lacuna wear these types of dresses. And they look different than us as well."

"How different?" I asked.

"They have darker skin tone and their hair is black, or dark brown. Their accent is pretty different as well," he said.

'Indian! Just like Indian! What the hell? It's so cool!'

I had always wanted to visit India. Well, the reason might sound strange, but I wanted to visit so I could eat their spicy foods. They used a lot of spices in their food, so I always wanted to taste it as a lover of spicy food. Even though I knew it was almost impossible for someone like me, I still wanted to.

"Hey, do the people in Lacuna perhaps like spicy food?"

"How do you know that?"

"Yes! I have to visit Lacuna no matter what," I exclaimed excitedly. For some reason, I was excited all of a sudden.

"Why so suddenly? Is our kingdom not good enough?" he asked.

"No, it's not like that. I just have a very big heart and mouth when it comes to spicy food. I just love 'em!"

"Is that so?" he chuckled. "Then do you want to have something spicy?"

"Really? Is there anything like that here?" I asked.

"Sure, come with me," he chuckled and pulled me by my arm. I tried to pull back quickly, but he held my hand even more tightly. "You will get lost."

He was right. I did not know this place and it was important for me to stay close to him here. But for some reason, I did not feel comfortable at all. It felt itchy as if it was not supposed to happen.

"Your hand is sweaty," she said.

"Yeah," he said bitterly. "I'm just nervous."

"Nervous? Why?" Was it because I was talking in an uncomfortable manner? Or was it because of something else?

"Wouldn't you be the same if you do something you always wanted?"

"Eh?"

'What the actual hell?'
