Dusk Chronicles

Chapter 17

Why does she have such beautiful clothes? Why would they honeymoon in the sacred land of the elves, the Lake of Silence? Why do they have such close ties with the Duke?

Only then did Kasper realize that they didn't even want to tell him their names.

Is it because they underestimated it?

The woman squatted to the floor desperately, and it took a long time for her to return to her previous sad expression.

On the road, Zulia was forced to wear a robe to avoid the sight of passers-by.

"That's all a look of admiration for you" joked Melyan.

Zulia pouted and ignored him.

However, he still held Melyan in his hand, as Melyan said that there might be people who would follow them. Now they both look like an awkward couple.

As it turned out to be true, not long after the two of them were walking aimlessly, a team of security guards came to greet them.

"Dear Lord, knight Simon threw a party at Manor, he invited you, can you attend?"

The captain of the guard who spoke was a blonde-haired young man, he was stunned to see Zulia.

Melyan coughed furiously.

"Please show me the way."

"Good."

Knight Simon was a tall and handsome middle-aged man, said to be around his forties, but being good at taking care of the face, he looked like a young man in his thirties. She had beautiful short blonde hair, quite bold and capable.

But compared to Melyan who wore Zaix's old clothes, and had the elegant appearance of a noble, Melyan looked more dignified than Simon's knight. Not only did Zulia feel that way, even many of Simon's subordinates also felt that her master must have been sorely defeated in front of this white and clean young man.

Simon was also a little confused, he was half a head taller than Melyan, but why did he always feel that he had to raise his head to look at Melyan?

 "Simon, thank you for your invitation. The taste of this dish was comparable to that of the House of Morning Star Fighters."

Melyan wiped her mouth gracefully and sighed.

In front of him was a pile of dishes, only tasting a little, he already felt full.

"House of a Morning Star Warrior? Sir Syaiful is too complimentary."

"No, you can ask Susi." Melyan smiled and waved her hand. "Oh yeah, it was the place where I met him for the first time. If it wasn't for it being a special day, with its slow serving and the taste of its mediocre dishes, I would have been lazy to date there too. But, fried foie gras with their caviar is quite good, you can try it if you have the chance, you will definitely feel satisfied."

Simon swallowed unconsciously.

He laughed. “If you have a chance, I should try."

"Oh yes, if you leave, you can report my name, maybe you can get a discount of one or two hundred gold coins or something."

"Thank you."

Simon forced a smile, but his heart was bleeding.

Discount one or two hundred gold coins. My total income in Yese City is only 500 gold coins a year. You spend that much just to eat?

"But don't worry about money, let me tell you." Melyan crossed her arms. "Life is nothing more than eating and drinking, I learned from the granddaughter of the prime minister's family. The boy did not have a serious job, always ate and drank at my place, and enjoyed life. Those of you who have a good job where it might be a waste of your life to do such a thing, right?"

"Darling, if you don't drink too much, don't drink too much." Zulia interrupts at the right time, stops Melyan from blabbing until morning, and saves Simon from sweating.

Simon finally understood where his flaws were when compared to these lovers.

"Well, I'm feeling a little dizzy too." Melyan blinked at Simon and shrugged helplessly.

"Simon's knight looks like you're unmarried, right?"

"Eh, yes."

"Then I will give you advice. You must find a weaker life partner than you, otherwise you will be bullied by your wife at home."

"Sheif!"

"I praise you, dear."

Melyan hurriedly stood up, took the robe from the chair, then put it on Zulia's body, and whispered "good acting" in Zulia's ears.

Only then did Simon realize that the two were leaving, he stood up in a hurry.

"Have you two needed my help lately? If you need it, just say it."

“No, we want to look around.” Melyan was wearing a robe for Zulia, as if suddenly remembering something.

“Oh yes, knight Simon, I heard there is a strange flower that has harmed many people around the city. Should I ask Susi to help you, just think of it as an expression of our gratitude for this sumptuous dinner?

"No need to bother you." Simon refused with a bit of uneasiness. "If this trifle can't be handled properly, then it's my negligence as mayor."

“Then I will see from a distance.” Melyan smirked.

"Thank you for tonight's banquet, come to the royal capital to find me if you have time."

"certain."

Melyan smiled and turned to leave, Zulia grabbed his hand, and the two walked away talking and laughing.

A woman's whisper reaches Simon's ear.

"It's the first time I've seen a knight who's mayor."

Simon's hand suddenly clenched firmly, and a strong aversion appeared in his heart.

"Master, this leftover food ..."

"Dispose of it!"

"Ah, but not eaten one bit."

“Do you not understand? Are you deaf?” Simon suddenly turned around and shouted loudly. “Bags of you all, the more disobedient to my orders, I still have to repeat how many times!”

The poor servant was frightened and ran away in a hurry.

"Basic rubbish!" Simon blasphemed, his mood getting worse.

The main purpose of mathematics is to be of general interest and explain natural phenomena.

“Why do you insist on choosing this room?” zulia asked confusedly after walking around the door.

After the two left the mayor's house and returned to the hotel pretending to be a couple, Melyan dragged Zulia up and around like a thief, and decided to choose the room.

Zulia had been curious all day, so she was in no hurry to ask now. After entering the room, and examining the surroundings, he just opened his mouth and asked.

Melyan closed the door and walked to the window. This corner can precisely see everything that happened in the vegetable store “Samuel Sehat” across the street.

"Tim strategy is really good" he murmured.

He had never been to Yese City, and he could only read strategy posts sent by other players back then. At that time, there was a series of very interesting missions that attracted his attention, so he still remembered the location of the start of the mission, namely the vegetable shop on the lower floor.

"Hey, I'm asking you!"

Seeing the habit of Melyan whose mind was often drifting, Zulia waved her hand dissatisfiedly.

“Oh, you mean this room, huh? Of course there is a reason, you will find out later.” Melyan pretended to be mysterious.

"Then why do we have to pretend to be a couple today?"

Zulia's face flushed slightly, although today she had been having fun, but she was still a little dissatisfied.

"What makes women jealous the most is that other women dress more luxuriously, look prettier, have more money, and find a good man. If we don't pretend to be husband and wife, are we pretending to be brothers?"

“But why should make him jealous? Then the words you said at the mayor's house, the first meeting, dating often, did you intentionally say all that? And how do you know that I like to eat fried foie gras?”

“Only origin speak to make it look more reasonable.” Seeing Zulia asking incessantly, Melyan hurriedly changed the subject.

"Do you want to hear about my whole plan?"

"certain."

Melyan nodded in satisfaction. "Then you have to answer one of my questions."
