The entire time we were doing this, Dan was watching us without our realising it. Finally, after Dan watched us sit down in plain sight for him to see, he felt annoyed and embarrassed, 'I can't believe those two followed me here. And they're not even trying not to be noticed being this obvious!' Angela noticed Dan's vexed expression and asked, "Is everything ok?" Dan tried to ignore us and focus on Angela, "Sorry, everything's fine. I just noticed they removed my favourite dish is all." "Oh, ok. Speaking of, should we order now?" "Of course." Dan flagged down one of the waiters, and they ordered their food. After the waiter left, they sat in awkward silence, not knowing what to talk about. Dan tried his best to think of something to say but failed terribly when he said, "I like your frizzy hair." When Angela heard him say that, she started to look self-conscious about her hair, trying to brush it down with her hands. Seeing her reaction, Dan could tell he had said something wrong
After that day, Dan started to spend all his free time with Angela. Anytime I saw them spending time together, I could tell they were starting to get closer to one another. Dan finally asked her to start dating him after they had already spent months getting to know each other. After that, it took Dan a whole year and a half before he finally decided to propose to her. Because Angela hadn't had her coming-of-age ceremony yet, they couldn't get married, so they made plans to marry two months after her coming-of-age ceremony. After the first year of them getting too over the top with their display of affection for one another, I started trying to avoid them as much as humanly possible because I couldn't stand seeing how cringy they were. I ended up getting so caught up in Dan's life that I didn't notice the time passing me by, and before I knew it, my coming-of-age ceremony was only a day away. The day before my coming-of-age ceremony, I was woken up by someone. When I looked around
Thanks to Clair's exceptional skills in tailoring and magic, after I took off the dress, she started working on all the adjustments and had it ready by the time we had finished picking out a few more dresses to buy. After we finished in the boutique, Crimson handed off the new dresses we got to a maid so she could put them in the carriage and then took us around the market. As we walked around, we stopped in front of a bakery called Sweet Noble. He hadn't had lunch yet, so Crimson asked us, "Do you two feel like going inside here and having something sweet before we continue?" I smiled at Crimson, "You know I won't turn down cake!" Tasha agreed, "Same! I want chocolate!" Crimson giggled at us, "Let's go in then!" Tasha and I sat at a table while Crimson went over and spoke to one of the dragons working there before coming over and joining us at the table. I asked Crimson, "Who did you just talk to?" "Oh, it was a girl who works here. I asked her to bring us a bit of everything s
As I was reeling from the surprise of how my eyes looked, the pain suddenly spiked, and I was thrown off balance. The pain quickly became too much for me to handle, and I fell to the floor and passed out the moment I hit the ground. When I came to, I was in what looked like one of the castle's guest rooms, and to my surprise, my head stopped hurting, 'I'm so glad my head has stopped hurting. I can't believe it got so bad I fainted. I feel embarrassed!' As I woke up more, I remembered what the king told me, 'Wait, didn't the king show me eyes were changing just before I fainted?' I looked around and saw a dressing mirror. I got off the bed and rushed over to it. When I looked in the mirror, my eyes were a solid pink colour, 'I can't believe it, my eyes really did change!' While I was in disbelief looking in the mirror, Dan came into the room to check on me, "Sasha, are you awake?" I couldn't bring myself to look away from the mirror while I answered, "Yeah, I'm over here..." "Mom
As we looked around for the prince, I tried to dig deeper into who this guy was, but he was too tight-lipped about everything to do with himself apart from his name. I slowly got frustrated and ended up outright asking him, "Can't I know anything more about you past your name?" He thought about it for a minute before smiling and saying, "But wouldn't that ruin the mystery?" His answer only frustrated me further, "Uh, you're just frustrating. Not everyone likes the mysterious type, you know..." "Then why can't you stop paying attention to me and asking me questions?" For some reason, I couldn't stop myself from blushing at his comment, "Don't get so full of yourself! I'm only curious! You're the only person here who somehow knows what the 3rd prince looks like, so it's only natural I want to know how." "But you didn't ask how I knew him. You only asked questions about me." I felt embarrassed being caught out like that. Then, just as I was about to yell at him for being arrogant,
After a few minutes, the waiter returned and guided us over to the table. As we sat down, he handed us a menu each, "Please take your time choosing. I'll be just over here ready to take your order." I picked up the menu and looked it over, but I couldn't recognise any of the food on there. I had never eaten or heard of anything listed on there, so I didn't know what to choose, 'Why did he have to take me here! I have no idea what I'm ordering! What even is Ceviche?' Larry noticed I was having a hard time on the menu, so he asked, "If you like, I can order something for you?" "No, I can pick for myself! I just need a minute..." "Ok, take all the time you need." I kept looking over the menu until I found something that sounded familiar. Unfortunately, since it had been a lifetime since I had fish, I didn't remember much about it other than its taste. After a minute, Larry asked me, "Have you decided what you would like yet?" I wasn't confident I would like my choice, but I still a
The next day I was outside in my private garden when Tasha came over to visit for the first time since my coming-of-age ball. When Tasha walked into the garden, she greeted me the moment she saw me, "Sash! Since I never got to see you on your birthday, I wanted to-" when I looked at Tasha, she stopped mid-sentence the moment she saw my eyes. I was confused about what she was so surprised by, "You wanted to what?" Tasha's face was both shocked and surprised, "Sash, there's something wrong with your eyes!" "What's wrong with my eyes?" "They've changed!" I suddenly realised that she didn't know, "Oh, that. Yes, I already know about that. It happened during my coming-of-age ceremony." "What exactly happened?!" Tasha came over and sat down as I explained everything to her. Finally, after a few minutes, I finished my explanation, and Tasha sat back in her chair in a state of overload from the information, "That's a lot to take in all at once... I didn't even know something like this w
As we walked into the estate, I noticed the Marquis wasn't with Terry, so I asked, "Where's the Marquis? I was told he would be visiting today as well." "My Father had some last-minute business to take care of and entrusted today's meeting to me." "Speaking of business, I thought you worked as a magic teacher at Red phoenix academy. So why are you working with your Father in the magic trade?" Terry pulled a sly smirk at me, "I don't see how that's any of your concern." I couldn't help pulling a frustrated look at Terry, "Well, I have to make sure you're qualified to judge our product and not just blindly assume things about it. I know you have a history of wrong assumptions." Terry pulled an amused but slightly annoyed face at me, "I seem to recall nothing but sound judgement on my part. However, I do recall meeting a lively child who didn't understand proper manners. As for my qualifications, all your magic talent is all the evidence I need to show my knowledge and skill of magic
