“Everyone this is Lyra Bridger, and an old friend of mine if you catch my drift.”
Hearing this Quillon looked confused for a moment until Aerial who was hidden away in his body reminded him that Marcus was a transmigration.
Once Lyra had been introduced to everyone, they in turn did the same.
Though Quillon paused a bit too long while shaking her hand, as he tried to analyze her in depth.
“It really was worth my while to come along.” Quillon said absentmindedly.
For him meeting other strong fighters was something he longed for, since for the longest time he had no one he could really call a peer.
However, now he had three people of around the same age, level, and quality of power that he could interact with now that Lyra had arrived..
Of course, Lyra who did not know of Quillon’s tendencies thought that he had said this for other reasons.
Pulling back from him, Lyra’s cheeks had gone red, and she looked towards Marcus in a fluster.
‘It is not what you think. Quillon just likes meeting strong people, especially ones that he feels he can relate to. I do not think that he was making any sort of move on you.’ Marcus said to Lyra with telepathy.
Hearing this, she sighed and said, “Yes, I believe that it was worth my while as well. I cannot wait to hang out with and get to know all of you better.”
Soon, the five of them made their way into the manors lounge and began planning out what they were going to be doing in the capital up until the time they would leave for the crystal caverns.
“Okay so tomorrow will be a tour around the city, the day after that we will show those of you who have never been around the castle, and on the third day we will be holding some mock battles.” Marcus said, going over the plans that they had made.
Nodding their heads everyone was in agreement, and with this they had confirmed their plans for the next few days.
After that they spent the next eight or so hours talking and getting to know each other better, with even Roxene and Quillon’s contracted spirit Aerial joining in.
“Well, it has gotten pretty late so I think we should all head to bed since we are going to have a few long days ahead of us.” Marcus said once it was already really late into the night.
However, everyone just looked at each other showing no signs of fatigue.
At their levels they could all easily stay up for multiple days and not suffer any problems.
Still, they could see that Marcus was trying to urge them to all go their separate ways, so everyone headed to their own rooms.
Except after a couple of hours, Mrazivy snuck out of the room she was in and slipped into Marcus’.
There she saw him already having changed his appearance and reading a book in the corner of the room.
Immediately she ran over and jumped in his lap before draping her arms around his neck.
“I have really missed you these last few months.” She said as she gave Marcus a kiss.
Returning the kiss, Marcus enjoyed the long embrace with his fiancé.
Then when they had finished up their reunion kiss, he took out the engagement ring he had made and slipped it back onto Mrazivy’s hand.
“Sorry that I had to call it back so soon after giving it to you. I promise I will not make a habit of it.” Marcus said with an apologetic expression.
Caressing the side of his face, Mrazivy said, “It is fine. I would much rather you take back the power you have given me rather than get hurt.”
Smiling, Marcus nodded his head before switching the topic of conversation.
“So, when will you brother James be joining us?”
“Hm, I think that the time he took off with be starting in two days, but he will need to fly back here from where he is currently posted, so probably in three days.” Mrazivy said, answering Marcus’ question.
Nodding his head, Marcus then said, “Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, but your sister has commissioned me to make her a new crown for when she becomes the next monarch in a few years.”
Hearing this, Mrazivy had a look of surprise on her face, and said, “That is unusual. Normally the head royal forgmaster handles such jobs. I wonder what she is trying to accomplish by having you do it?”
“Who knows? Maybe she wants to see what I am capable of. Anyway, I already accepted, but it is not something that needs to be hurried along since she still has a few more years until she ascends to the throne.”
After saying this, Marcus and Mrazivy simply talked about little things that had happened since they had been apart. Until eventually they decided to get a bit of rest themselves and sleep for a few hours.
When the new day arrived, it was finally time for their group to head out onto the town.
“So first we are going to the best restaurant in the city for breakfast, and then will head around to some of the nicest parks in the inner city.” Marcus said, going over what they were doing first thing today.
Giving their agreement, everyone was fine with this, and they all quickly piled into the carriage Lyra had come in since it was the only one big enough to fit them all.
Though as they got in, Marcus looked at Mrazivy and pointed to her hair.
Seeing this, for a second she was confused, but then remembered that she was supposed to change her hair color so not as to attract heaps of attention while they were out.
Pulling out the magic hair clip Marcus had given her more than a year ago now, she placed it into her hair and quickly it changed to a dark brown instead of her normal royal blue.
Lyra then said excitedly, “Now let us go see what your city has to offer.”
