Chapter 8
They have an ordinary short breakfast during which Dylan didn't say much. He was rather intrigued about why the Princesses haven't joined them. Hubris was also missing from the gathering.
Seeing Dylan look around, Nabal explained,
"Hubris has gone to call the Princesses. They will be here shortly. Let us begin eating and they will join us later."
"I would like to wait for them."
Dylan firmly stated.
After an uncomfortable silence that felt like it was an hour long, Hubris came whistling.
Surprised to see everyone sitting without touching their food, he inquired,
"What's wrong?"
"We were waiting for you and the Princesses. Where are they?"
"Oh, they...."
Rolling his eyes and chuckling inwardly after thinking, he adds,
"I doubt they would come."
"What does that mean?"
Dylan inquired to which Hubris took his seat and replied,
"They have gone to sleep."
"Is that so? Then let us eat now."
Upon Nabal's comment, everyone dived into their food except Dylan who gazed suspiciously at Hubris. There was something odd about his behavior. He looked at Xavier, who was also allowed to join them for dinner this evening. Xavier also noted the odd behavior and decided to investigate it again.
After the dinner was over, Dylan and Xavier got up to take their leave but Medea stops them.
"Are you going into your room so early? Won't you stay for tea?"
"I already drank tea before dinner."
"Is that so? Then what about taking a walk in the garden."
At her words, Nabal nodded,
"By all means, it would be pleasant if you took a stroll to get some fresh hair."
"Karen, go escort him to the garden."
Dylan's gaze was filled with suspiciousness. At first, he was puzzled by their unusual words. But then when Karen's name was mentioned, he soon realized what was going on. Mentally striking his face, he dryly replied,
"There's no need."
"Of course there is! You are our guest. We can't have you leave unattended."
Dylan rolled his eyes. It's ironic how throughout the day they don't care about him but now here they are acting like this.
