They glowered at each other for a while before Lilla put the gun back to the holster on her thigh, concealed inside her cloak, and returned to the princess. Viktor, on the other hand, touched his neck, wondering how a small lady could force him to bow down. He certainly underestimated her, though he also noticed something odd when she pointed the gun directly to his chin.

He was suddenly pulled down by the collar of his shirt, meeting a pair of furious golden reptilian eyes. The cold steel of her gun’s muzzle kissed his chin. “Do not forget that I’m the reason why your head is still attached to your neck, Viktor. I’ll repeat myself again. If you so much raise a hand to anyone, specially the princess, I’ll put a bullet through that thick skull of yours. Do you understand?”

“Don’t be a fool. If I wished to kill anyone, you would be the first one to die.” Viktor was telling the truth. He wasn’t that dumb to kill anyone after his life was spared three weeks ago. He still needed the alchemist to escape this country and possibly go back to his former land, to Nadia, to Styrkeis.

She shut the door behind her and spoke in a low voice, “The princess wants us to accompany her to the beautician outside the palace. I require you to be on your best behavior. If you so much raise a hand to anyone—”

Once again, Viktor had no idea what they were talking about. It seemed like they were talking about something that should be involving him, but it would be rude to interrupt a conversation of two ladies. He saw Lilla heading towards him and dragged him by the arm back to his room.

“Speaking of being the prettiest man.” She glanced at Viktor for a mere second and grinned at Lilla. “He has some potential.”

“He must be insane. No country would pay for an engagement of that price, unless he’s the most influential and prettiest man in Desmos.”

“Not really. He’s too demanding. Can you believe how much fleurs that man asked the Empress just so he would agree to the engagement. One hundred thousand! That’s one/fifth of the money we have in the Treasury!” She touched her temple while slightly shaking her head as if to express her disbelief. “Such a despicable prince.”

The alchemist seemed surprised and started panicking as soon as she saw her enter the room. “Kri—Your Highness! What a surprise! You’re back from your trip so early!” She laughed nervously as she kept her away from Viktor. “Did the engagement with the Ahlean prince go well?”

“Lilla! Is this your new apprentice everyone was talking about?” She studied Viktor with great curiosity.

Viktor had no idea what face was she talking about. He ignored her comment as he continued eating until nothing was left on the plate. By the time he was done, the door leading to the hallway swung open, admitting a charming brunette woman wearing a blue dress.

Lilla watched him devour the food with an amused expression. “Who knew the ruthless king of Styrkeis could make that face while eating the most common breakfast of Mercurius?”

“Not anymore.” He sat across her on the small table and picked up one of the plates with pancakes and berries. Ever since he started living with Lilla in the Mercurian palace, he always looked forward eating those soft and fluffy pancakes, unable to resist its sweetness and rich taste.

“Still feeling headaches?” The alchemist’s golden eyes regarded him warily. She still hasn’t fully explained what happened to him over a week ago and why he was suddenly in her care when he woke up that day.

Viktor could never get used to how vulgar Lilla speaks from time to time. The women of his time usually approached him with great respect. She did not seem to be intimidated by him at all despite knowing that he ended the lives of people who she would treat as fellow humans of equal standing. Perhaps, her attitude towards him was based from the belief that he was a mass murderer. 'There was a purpose for all of that.'
