Irene could not help but hug Kasumi as soon as she got in front of her. Kasumi could only smile knots, already she guessed Irene would do that even though they were the center of attention.
Kasumi actually hates being the center of attention, but this time she doesn't hate him at all.
"Finally we meet again, I've missed you so much"
Irene said in a happy tone. He was really sincere in saying that, Kasumi gave a short nod, she also felt the same way as Irene.
"I miss you too, thank goodness we can meet again"
"That's right! And now that we have plenty of time to be together, I can't wait to show you the many things that are in Meta kingdom!"
Kasumi nodded with a face as enthusiastic as Irene. He likes to see the happy face of his best friend.
Irene let go of her embrace. His face slightly bent, he was a bit moody.
"It's a pity that I can't take you to the eastern sacred forest, even though I want to show you the house I have there"
Irene said that in a disappointed tone. At first he wanted to take Kasumi to his homeland in the eastern sacred forest, but for one reason he could not take Kasumi there, no, rather he could not take her.
Seeing Irene's disappointed face made Kasumi feel bad, she finally comforted her.
"It's okay. We can play somewhere else, right? I don't mind that!"
Irene came back cheerful again after she heard Kasumi's words.
"Hello Sir Alexis, we meet again"
Irene gave a brief greeting to Alexis who was replied with the same thing by her. The status of a saintess was higher than that of the emperor, but Irene paid her respects to Alexis who was a knight.
Irene had indeed gotten used to doing that a long time ago, so it was difficult for her not to do so.
"Miss Irene, if you run so you can fall"
The black-haired man with a ferocious face was Max, one of the saintess protectors who came with Irene.
"Miss Irene is not Max's child, after all if she falls I can catch her"
The somewhat stern reply came from the long-haired, shoulder-length man bound in silver, he was Kahu, Irene's protector as well.
Saintess generally had one protector chosen by their god spirit, but for Irene it was special. He had a total of four protectors, and they also had varying statuses.
Even one of his protectors was the prince in Meta kingdom, the kingdom they would come to now.
"You're not perceptive enough to directly catch Miss Irene, Kahu."
"And you think if you respond?"
"Of course because I was the first protector"
Max and Kahu continued their fight with sharp eyes. Although they were both protectors but somehow they could not get along at all.
Kasumi chuckled at the manner of the two of them, it looked funny in her eyes.
While Irene only let out a long sigh, now she was used to the attitude of the two of them.
In the middle of the warm atmosphere, Kasumi's eyes unintentionally glanced at a man not far from her. The man had emerald green eyes like a beautiful gem, he looked at Kasumi with a soulful gaze.
Kasumi was silent for a moment, she did not immediately turn her face and looked at the man for longer.
Irene followed the direction of Kasumi's gaze that led to the blue-haired man, she smiled faintly at the mute interaction the two of them then slightly elbowed Kasumi.
"That's prince John"
Kasumi turned her gaze towards Irene.
"Prince John?"
Irene nodded briefly.
"Yes, he was the second prince of the kingdom of Ceru. You know, it's a mysterious kingdom deep in the ocean"
Kasumi says 'Oh' is short in answer. The figure of the prince he was talking about with Cairo in the horse carriage earlier turned out to be the same as the rumors, he was handsome and looked shiny.
'Although to me dad is more sparkling than him anyway'
Cendric occupies the number one position as someone who sparkles while the second position is occupied by Irene.
Kasumi looked back at Prince John, and she was still staring at him.
Their gazes met, and it was at that moment that prince John smiled gently at her that made Kasumi flinch.
Because Kasumi's sudden smile turned her face away, she felt a bit hot right now.
'The gaze is unfamiliar, but simultaneously feels very familiar'
Kasumi clearly felt she had seen him, but as hard as she looked in her memory there was no figure of prince John there.
So why did he feel close when this was their first meeting? No one knows destiny.
"Your kind of man is like prince John?"
Short Irene. He smiled intending to tease the excited Kasumi.
"A. I'm not so! Wasn't it! Besides I still can't accept this woman's body!"
Kasumi replied to Irene in a very slow whisper. Irene chuckled at hearing that, she likes to tease Kasumi like this.
What Kasumi said was true. She was not used to her female body yet, therefore the feeling of being attracted to the opposite sex still felt taboo to her.
"That will change with time. I'm sure someday there will be someone you like and you can accept your current body"
Kasumi nodded in understanding. He knows that too.
After that they walked away on the boat because soon the ship will sail.
That man, prince John. He was still standing in the same place, his eyes were still watching Kasumi who had disappeared from his sight. One of the knights who came with him approached.
"Prince. We're leaving soon"
Short words. John nodded in understanding. A warm smile appeared on his face, he was very happy to meet Kasumi.
"I finally found you, my lord"
John murmured softly before he entered the ship. His bad feelings have now changed because of his meeting with Kasumi earlier, he made sure that next time they will spend more time and not just look at each other.
He looks forward to their next meeting.
