At first David looks not afraid at all, they go through the forest, find a variety of herbs and spices that can be a spice or cooking ingredients. Jaden wants to cook something for his friend, David. Good food David had never eaten before.
“Hey, that's a wild plant! Don't take!” david shouted, the boy was surprised to see his friend pick up some suspicious looking plants.
“Hah? What the hell are you talking about? It's called fern plant, young one like this is good to eat tofu, I'll cook for you, let you feel for yourself how good –” is
“Yes yes, you are very strange, I go along anyway, if I get poisoned, it's your fault, period!” David finally gave up following his friend, he sat under a big tree, leaning his large body because he was very tired of walking around.
Jaden was very agile and active after seeing a lot of spices that he could take, really sports, where the forest was a bit uphill, so it was like a hill, although it could not be said to be a hill as well. What is certain is that after walking for longer, David's energy is drained a lot.
David tried to close his eyes, enjoying the breeze that hit his face full of sweat.
Very cool and peaceful, it turns out the forest is not bad either.
“Da... David, don't open your eyes, please!”
David frowned, he felt something approaching and looked at him.
As you know, the more forbidden the more curious. So David was like that, it was forbidden to open his eyes, he opened his eyes.
An enormous snake hung up, staring at David with a starving look.
David's body trembled in fear, suddenly he forgot if he could do magic, or slash with a sword. His body felt weak with no energy.
David's scared.
The huge snake opened its mouth slowly, making David even more frightened, its face already very pale.
SRETT
The head of the snake was split in two, its body drooping and falling next to David.
“KYAAAA!!!!” David screamed loudly, got up and ran somewhere. Stupid David, he didn't know if he was running deeper and deeper into the forest.
“DAVID, BACK!! DON'T GO THERE!!”
“HUWAAAAAAA!!” David continued to run, while Jaden lost it to chase after the boy.
“Hey, David listen to me!!”
Finally David wanted to stop, Jaden thought David finally wanted to listen to him. However, it turns out that David stopped because he was stopped by a group of wolves who were attacking a forest rabbit.
David is afraid of the wolf, while Jaden is fixated on his forest rabbit. Because the forest rabbit is dark like brown or gray it has good meat.
“HUWAAA I'M SCARED!!”
“DAVID DON'T RUN!”
David ran again, fortunately he ran back to the beginning, so it was safe.
Hearing David's cry, the wolves growl preparing to attack Jaden, because the wolves think Jaden will attack him.
But Jaden even smiled sweetly, “you guys just calm down, I will not hurt you, as long as you give your hunted for me, one rabbit alone is enough!” jaden.
As if understanding Jaden's words, one of the wolves gave two rabbits that had still not been bitten to Jaden.
“Wah, thanks ya!”
The wolf left Jaden.
“It turns out they are very tame, very nice..”.
Jaden is still unaware that his father's werewolf powers were active by the time he was 17. So the wolves can understand Jaden's words, they obey Jaden because of instinct. That Jaden is the wolf prince, it should be so, so the wolf can recognize him.
All Jaden thought about was that he got two good forest rabbits for dinner.
“David!!”
Jaden found his friend was already cowering in one of the trees.
“Jaden, are you okay? did you kill the wolf?” ask David.
“No, I asked the rabbit from them, they gave it, then they went” Jaden replied lightly, leaving David confused. But, since Jaden looks convincing, so he just trusts it.
Jaden was strange, he was strong as well, so it could have been that he had some kind of power to tame a savage beast.
“Do you have the power to tame wild beasts?” ask David.
Jaden thought for a moment, “shouldn't exist anyway, but I can make a wolf good to me, or maybe I'm just lucky, let's cook this rabbit for our dinner!”
“EEHH?? The rabbits?” david asked as he pointed at the dark brown bunny that Jaden was carrying by holding his ear.
“Iya, why? You shut up, I cook, don't worry.”.
For some reason, David just complied, he was getting used to the strangeness of his friends. How could there be such a noble child, although to the size of a low nobleman it was rather unusual.
***
“WOAH!!”
David was already feeling very hungry just by waiting for Jaden to finish cooking, the aroma of spices and meat was now gathering to tempt anyone who smelled the aroma.
At that time Jaden invited David to go to Jaden's lodging place and his servant. Although the inn is not too luxurious, at least there is a warm water bath and also a kitchen that Jaden can use for cooking.
Jaden processed the forest rabbit meat into soup with a rather thick sauce. He did not allow his chef or David's chef to help with the cooking. All Jaden do by himself, count to throw stress after doing a stressful test.
The people in the inn were rather surprised to see Jaden carrying two forest rabbits. Not because the forest rabbits are very strong and rare, but even though the forest rabbits are many and easy to catch, they are usually targeted by wolves or other wild animals, so it is very difficult to get one rabbit, because it tastes very good.
Even the forest rabbit usually becomes a very luxurious food so difficult to get it.
“Jaden!”
Someone came to break the silence there.
Jaden who was busy cooking also turned to the origin of the voice, it turned out that she was the girl that Jaden helped the other day, who gave Jaden some spirit in the exam.
Jaden smiled, “hai!” the boy still thought that the girl was just an ordinary noble girl, especially when Selen was indeed wearing an ordinary dress.
David himself did not know about Selen, he was quite reclusive and had never met the emperor's daughter at all. All David had ever seen was his prince, the older brother of Selen's daughter, because David's older brothers loved to approach the prince, his name was prince Solon.
So, David also thought Selen was an ordinary noble girl.
“I came here to thank you properly because you helped me the other day, thank you?” selen.
“Sama-sama, have you had dinner? I'm cooking for dinner, if you want, you sit down with the others.”
Selen can see Jaden cook anyway, although he is still confused, there is a two-person chef, why cook even Jaden?
Selen herself only brought two royal guards, who used to escort her, both of them also disguised themselves as ordinary noble guards.
“Alright, but what are you cooking?” ask Selen.
“The forest rabbit, oh yes, what's your name? I'm Jaden, this is my friend David, we also enroll in the academy just like you” Jaden said.
“I Selen, greetings know..” Selen asked David to shake his hand.
Selen recognizes David as the son of Duke Ergreen, after all David's name is being discussed because his magic enters A level.
However, it seems David does not recognize Selen, hopefully David does not pretend to be unfamiliar.
“Salam knows also” said David, who acted plain, as if he did not recognize Selen.
I hope he doesn't lie.
Selen is afraid that Jaden will talk to her if she knows who she really is.
