Tania looked at Acht from afar with clear surprise in her eyes, she had missed him so much during the 3 previous months but she couldn't meet him due to a lot of factors, one of them being the fact that she wanted to get stronger so she concentrated on powering up as fast as possible.
So, when she came to the Mystic Soul Convention she didn't expect to meet him on the first day.
"...Acht…Acht…!!!" She then immediately ran to him and hugged him from his neck, throwing all of her weight on his chest.
She didn't care about the two other women as they were as important as two annoying insects to her.
"Tania, so it's you. It's been some time." He said as he tried to find a solution to this situation. He knew that these girls won't be getting along at all. The fact that they stumbled upon each other at the same time is by far the worst-case scenario.
The two women saw the small girl that was now stuck to him, rubbing her face on his body as if she was a dog that found her owner after a very long time.
They then looked at each other with clear hatred. Their eyes were more than enough to convey their thoughts.
'Who are you, bitch?'
'That's my line. How do you know Acht personally? Leave him alone or I will fucking kill you right here.'
'I want to see you try, whore. Acht is mine after all.'
'He's mine, you fucking thief.'
Such messages could be seen going back and forth between them continuously as their auras threatened to explode.
"Why don't we go to a cafe for now?" Acht suggested as he pushed Tania away from him after a long resistance. He had to make them calm down first and then he would deal with them accordingly.
The three didn't particularly agree with his words but they had no other choice since Acht started walking on his own.
After one last glare between the three, they followed him. The group reached a good cafe near the coliseum where no one was there except for a few customers here and there.
They entered and went to sit down. But, as Acht sat on one of the sofas, the three insensitively went to sit down beside him.
"Oh, I think this is my place, isn't it?" Leislet said with an irritated look.
"No, I do think that I came here first. Isn't that right, Acht?" Scarlett responded with the same irritated look while also asking Acht for his opinion.
"No…seat…mine.." Tania interrupted them as she tried to force her way through but got stopped.
"Guys, stop i-"
"No, I have been walking by Acht's side for the last 5 minutes so it's natural that I sit down there," Leislet added.
"Fufufu, are you blind? I was the one walking closest to Acht so I have the right to sit down there."
"Grrrrr…" Tania growled like a cat at the two women with her cold face as she was on the verge of going berserk.
"You three…" the boy suddenly spoke with a different tone. They all looked at him confusedly and much to their surprise, he looked angry…extremely angry.
"Sit down there next to each other and behave yourselves!" He ordered as he unleashed some of his aura, making them feel intimidated. They had never seen Acht be so angry like that so they immediately followed his words and sat on the opposite sofa.
They tried to make distance between each other but the sofa wasn't big enough for that so they had to be close to one another.
"Never do that again. You are all mature enough to know what to do in public. Stop acting like spoiled children." He kept lecturing them like a father lecturing his daughters after they made a mistake.
The weirder thing is that all of them looked guilty and had shameful expressions on their faces.
"Sigh, what a headache." He shook his head as he laid down slightly to calm down.
"Um…I'm sorry, Acht. I just lost my temper slightly." Leislet said after a moment of silence.
"Me too. I admit my wrongdoing." Scarlett followed suit.
"Hick…Tania…bad." As for Tania, she was now crying quietly while looking down.
"Good. Now that we have cleared up this mess. Let me introduce you all to each other so we don't have this stupid conversation again.
"Leislet. This is Scarlett Goldknight. As you can see from her last name, she's from the Goldknight family which you should be familiar with."
"Oh, so you are the famous Goldknight family heir. I had never met you before so I didn't know you immediately." Leislet answered with clear surprise on her face.
"Scarlett. This is Leislet Windstorm. She's the hunter association president."
"I do recall her now that I see her face more clearly. Nice to meet you."
"Me too."
They said amicably. They had calm smiles on their face that didn't seem to carry any kind of amicable emotions at all. Acht saw that weird atmosphere between them but he didn't interfere since they seemed to be restraining themselves.
Then, he looked at Tania who stopped crying a few moments ago. Her eyes looked puffy and red because of it but it somehow made her look even more adorable.
"As for Tania…Come to think of it, I never asked you about your last name or which country you came from."
"Tania…Keimen…" She said as she stopped to sniff loudly each moment.
"Keimen? Are you perhaps the princess of the Keimen kingdom? I didn't know that when we first met." Leislet said.
Tania's response was a simple nod, but she ended up making the two women look at her silently.
Their thoughts were the same.
'How did he end up making the princess of a kingdom fall in love with him like that?!'
They had no idea how he pulled that off in such a short time. But, even with that, a princess of a kingdom or even the goddamn goddess herself. No one is going to stop them from getting what they want.
