Chapter 57 Sleeping Substance.
[Academy city.]
[Restaurant.]
"Leader, what are we doing here? Shouldn't we be spending time with the girls?"
Mott asked, walking inside the restaurant with Aaron.
'This guy is hopeless.'
Protean shook his head.
"I'm here to see someone." Aaron moved his gaze around in confusion.
'Where is she?' He thought inwardly.
"You are Jack, right?"
A girl in silver uniform, and a sword on her waist, walked up to the two.
"Yes?"
"The princesses are waiting for you in the third floor." With that said, she turned around.
"Follow m--"
She paused, turned back to Aaron, and observed Mott.
"Who is he? The leader is expecting you alone."
"He's with me." Aaron answered, thinking about the word "Princesses"
The girl thought for a moment, then nodded. "Follow me."
She started walking towards the stairs, while Aaron and Mott followed behind. Discover exclusive content at empire
"Princesses? Leader, do you have a date with two girls? I thought Lori is the chosen one?"
Aaron turned his head to Mott. "What the hell are you murmuring? Why'll I be on a date? I'm here for something very important."
Mott thought in mild confusion, not understanding what is so important, that two princesses were involved.
'Well, I'll find out in a while... And I also get to see the Third Floor!' He smiled.
_
The girl stopped in front of a closed door, then turned around looking at Aaron and Mott.
"The Third floor isn't an open restaurant as the lower and second floor, It's created with separate room, each room is created when a new Core student join the Academy... Some kids like privacy and space." She explained.
'Wow! And the Academy have more than a hundred Core students! HOW BIG IS THIS THIRD FLOOR?!!!' Mott yelled inwardly.
With a nod, the girl opened the door for the two and stepped back.
Aaron walked inside with an Indifferent expression, while Mott's mouth was wide open, moving his gaze around the golden painted room, the room screamed elegance and wealth, flowers were placed around the place, with no less than 3 expensive looking tables, and chairs.
Princess Angela and Aura frowned slightly, upon seeing Mott, they remained silent as Aaron sat down in front of them, while Mott stood behind him, not having the gut to sit in presence of the princesses.
Aura observed him for a moment, and muttered under her breath. "Just an Awakener."
"Ahem, Jack... We didn't make any arrangement of bringing someone." Angela said after some hesitation.
"Same did you, I didn't know Princess Aura will be here, too." Aaron answered, moving his gaze around the foods and drinks on the table.
A Drink which he took as a tea caught his attention.
{All seeing eyes.}
{Name: Golden Leaf Tea. Class: Rare. Info: made from the oldest Golden tree which only appear ones in a decade (A Substance have been added which will make someone who drinks it sleep for ten hours. Effect takes place a day after consumption, with Your high poison resistance, It's powerless against you) No Antidote.}
'This information is new, And I'll say this tea alone will be freakishly expensive... About the poisoning part, It'll surely be Aura, By taking this, I'll fall asleep and miss the test... And if I do, Angela will carry first position, and I'll lose the bet, what a snake, But still... Let's have fun with these two.'
"You have a point, but what I want to discuss with you is utmost importance, I don't trust anyone."
"Same." Aaron smirked at Angela.
Angela was clearly taken aback hearing his reply, She sighed helplessly, and turned to her sister.
"I know, I know... But before I leave, can I serve Jack a drink?"
Angela frowned upon hearing her sister's question. 'What Is she planning?'
She was about to refuse, but Aaron's voice sounded.
"It's ok, There isn't any black blood among us." Aaron picked up an empty cup, then stretched forth his hand.
Aura gave a fake smile, stood up, picked the jug, and poured Aaron his tea.
"It'll be nice if I can drink with you, Why don't you put yours, and we can cheer to this new friendship." Aaron suggested with a smile.
Aura: 'Huh? Friendship?! Who the hell want to be your friend?!'
"Jack is right." Angela picked up her cup, and gestured for her sister to pour hers.
'Shit!! There is no way I'm giving this to Angela, What should do, What should do.'
"What is it, Sis?" Angela asked in mild confusion.
Aaron fixed his gaze on the sisters opposite him, as he held the Cup in his hand.
"It's n-nothing... It's just that, I personally made this for Jack, I can't give it to you."
"Oh?" Angela was stunned, she slowly placed her cup on the table.
'Now I'm 100% sure she did something to the drink, But what? Wait! Does she plan to poison Jack?!! No! She won't do that! Aura might be overbearing, and troublesome at times, but she will never kill without reasons, and especially not someone I set my eyes on...
Or, will she?'
The time she was thinking about her sister's intention, Aaron opened his mouth:
"Then it won't be bad for Princess Aura to drink with me, right?"
Aura clenched her teeth seeing the smug smile on Aaron's face.
"Or you aren't drinking because you put something in it?" Aaron looked inside the cup in shock.
'What is going on here?' Mott thought in mild confusion.
'Shit! If I don't drink, he'll suspect something, What should I do?' Aura's eyes suddenly widened, she quickly turned her head to her sister... Seeing the dark look on her face, she gulped down.
'Shit! I forgot Angela could read thoughts, what should I do? Well... I can only go with the flow...'
Without nothing else to do or think, she poured a glass for herself, took the glass and pour it all in her mouth.
'She drank everything? Maybe it isn't poison... But... If it isn't poison, then what is it?' Angela was confused.
Aaron nodded, and with a flick of his finger under the table, a jolt of electricity ran down Aura's thigh, causing her to gasped out loud... Also, mistakenly swallowing the tea she held In her mouth.
Aura quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment.
"Are you ok, Aura?" Angela asked, seeing her sister's action.
"Y-Yes, Yes! I'm Ok."
She looked down at her thigh, she was putting on a skirt, which stopped above her kneecap.
'What was that?' She thought, and turned to her sister, seeing the slight frown on her face:
'Fuck your skill, big sis!' She hissed inwardly, causing Angela to chuckle.
Aaron nodded In Approval, and drank the tea in his cup.
'Good, at least both of us will sleep for ten hours, I'll have my members keep watch... Wait... What if there's an antidote?'
'So that's what is in the tea, a sleeping substance, Jack will sleep for ten hours and fail the test... But... Why is she doing this? Hmm... If Jack doesn't show up tomorrow, I won't get first place.'
If Aura knew what her sister was thinking, she would have spurted out a mouthful of blood, all her hard work for nothing, even drinking the same tea she mixed, but well... Aaron drank it, so it'll be enough, Right?
"I'll get going."
Aura glared at her sister, and walked towards the door... She knew her sister heard all her thoughts.
'I need to find a way to hide my thoughts from her or anyone.' She opened the sliding door, and walked out.
"You can go have fun, Mott. Here, have this."
Aaron snapped his fingers and a pouch appeared in front of Mott, who took it and slowly opened it.
"Gold Coins! And a lot of it!"
"Take the members out, My treat."
"Thank you club Leader, Thank you! The members will surely know about your generosity!"
With that said, he ran out in joy, going to enjoy himself.
Finally, alone.
After some moments of silence, Angela opened her mouth.
"Club leader? That isn't possible unless you joined the Academy, we are still taking the test, how can you be a club leader?"
"I know, The Tiger Club just picked me."
Angela has no idea about any Club, apart from her sister's in the Academy, so she changed the subject;
"Why can't I hear your thoughts anyone?" She blurted out.
Aaron placed the cup on the table:
"Now that you finally admit you can hear thought rather than reading facial expressions... I'll tell you a secret... As long, I say "No", No one in the three Continents can say "Yes"."
"It seems I understand, and I also don't understand... To have that authority, You need to be in the pinnacle of powers, or have a powerful background... I have been meaning to ask, You are a half elf, but what about your other race?"
"You what to know my other Race?" Aaron looked up at her with a smile.
Angela nodded, her gaze fixed on him, patiently waiting for his reply.
"My other race is..."
