Chapter 98: Items Not Important

Unlike the festivals that Ava attended before, the 1500th anniversary of the founding of the kingdom of Edodale was held with an innovation exhibition. Various scientists, alchemists, and other related professionals gathered in the Edodale capital, Hivea, to introduce their new findings to a general audience. A month earlier they had put together their innovation plan to be assessed by the government, when the plan was valued, an exclusive contract would be signed. But when they do not escape, the potions, artifacts, or magic scrolls made can be sold in the festival today.

As Marvin put it, only two or three designs usually attract attention, the remaining thousands will not be glimpsed, especially if the existing vision does not match the intentions of the royal family in the future.

In addition to escape the crowded atmosphere in the palace that every movement is assessed, Ava plans to look at what objects are on display. There might be a tool similar to a modern object from its original dimension, as shown by Bia a few months ago, or at least an item that would be useful in its later travels. Despite that, Ava did not expect much.

And after three hours of walking, the girl's expectations were not wrong.

There were no items that were really useful to him.

Wax extinguisher. Umbrella for shoes. Anti-odor herbs. Only such insignificant discoveries are offered. Inevitably Ava sighed disappointed even though she had expected it.

“You don't want to buy something?” the sound of monotonous whispers rang out from his left side, Ellijah completely mandated his chance in the crowd to get closer.

Ah, right, under the guise of dating Ava used the man to get out of the palace, but they just stepped in without any meaningful chatter from now on. “Nothing interesting,” murmured Ava, sounding soft among the fanfare of the festival.

“Hm, I thought you were the annual judge of these items.”

Ellijah is not wrong, from the guidebook that Eve has prepared, assessing the plans for this festival is actually a given task. But when Ava was still in the early stages of adaptation in the palace, he was busy with collecting information and studying the manners of the nobility, he was busy with collecting information and studying the manners of the nobility, moreover, Marvin who became a contract representative did not provide an opportunity for Ava to be involved. Perhaps that was the prince's chance to contribute to the kingdom, replacing his missing brother. Well, Ava doesn't want to take care of troublesome things if she can. In other words, Marvin and Ava both benefited.

“It is time for Prince Marvin to do something,” Ava replied in passing. But before Ellijah chimed in, the girl nimbly stepped in with a definite purpose. It's time he fulfills the role of a fake fiancee, a date that can also be used as a bribe for Eve's obsessed man.

Destination Ava is a dessert shop. From the looks of it, there are already dozens of couples who enjoy their romantic time in the store. That place must be a dating point.

A staff guarding the entrance immediately blocked them, “Sorry, Mr and Madam, do you guys have a reservation?” Ellijah this time the faster acting, “Not yet, is there no empty place?” Finding the response rather disrespectful, the shop staff took one step back, observing blatantly. The two people he was facing looked ordinary, not knowing that they were deliberately to meld themselves. It was only when five seconds passed that the shop staff finally caught the silver hair as well as the blue eyes of the man before him. As a commoner, he knew very well these unique characteristics were only possessed by the descendants of the Frost regional nobility, which this year left only the ruler without parents or children, the Duke. Aware of his sassness in front of the high-status noble, the shop staff immediately bowed respectfully. “Ah, please forgive my mistake, Duke Frost!” He was aware of the astonishing feat the man had achieved, but on the other hand Duke Frost was known to be cold and heartless, lightly killing his enemies with high-level ice skills, exactly as indicated by the name of the pride of the northern ruler, Frost.

Unfortunately, the store staff made another mistake that he was unaware of. “Don't you need to correct that shameless attitude of yours?!” Ellijah rebuked loudly. The shop staff immediately kowtowed in fear even though he was still unaware of his mistake. “Ampun, Sir!”

“Have it been, isn't it natural? The purpose of our disguise is indeed not to be recognized,” the woman next to Duke Frost mediates calm. Only then did the store staff look up slowly, stealing glances secretly. Black hair and black eyes, besides that the girl lightly calmed the Duke. There was only one person he could think of. Princess Eve. After months of disappearing, the princess has returned. He did not greet the princess. Holy hooch! “Pardon my mistake, Princess!”

Ava doesn't like this situation. The commotion caused by the store staff when asking for mercy for the first time has invited the attention of the surrounding people, especially when Ellijah confronted to extend this issue, the report said, they asked if there was an empty table available. “Iya, yes,” himself reply half-heartedly, “So, this place is full?”

Once again Ava opened her mouth, “Is there an empty table for both of us?”

Fortunately, this one manager is quick to respond, in contrast to his subordinates who already seem to collapse if someone blows his trembling body, “Sure! Sure was! We provide a private room for Mr and Mrs.”

At last. In their step being guided directly by the manager, Ava still caught the rumors around her, various responses popping up.

“Looks like a high-status noble.”

“Eh, isn't that Duke Frost? It means the woman next to him ... Princess Eve? I thought their relationship wasn't good.”

“Jeez, handsome once!”

Nothing is important. So Ava ignored him. After sitting down, the girl immediately ordered the five most popular menus and strawberry juice, instead Ellijah only asked for one cup of hot coffee.

Left by the manager who ran away, Ava and Ellijah were alone. He looked at the flat but beautiful face.

His resemblance to Alex cannot be ignored.

“Do you mind if I call Elli?”

The menu list that the man was holding was torn in two, so snapped, it was completely unexpected.

Since her departure four months ago, Eve has changed a lot, a bit unfamiliar indeed. But if the change leads positively to the closeness of the two of them, Ellijah does not mind at all.

“Maybe, as long as from now on I am officially allowed to call you Eve,”, his monotonous voice this time is in the spirit.

Well, without any approval Ellijah had called Ava by her first name dopplegangger, so her shoulders were lifted, “Agree.”
