Chapter 27
Kaizen smiled, awkwardly scratching behind his head. "You could say so." He replied, almost gritting his teeth as he forced the words out. Damn it everything was ruined now. They’d definitely start making mockery of him now.
"So he really does have white hair like I heard. I suspected he was the one but I wasn’t sure." Someone whispered quietly but Kaizen heard everything clearly.
"Don’t mess with him, the princess already gave out a warning." Another whispered back. Kaizen froze, raising a brow, but he didn’t turn to look at who had just spoken.
The princess? what the hell. Now it all made sense, the usual ridicule and criticism he always received was absent today. Everyone seemed not to notice him like they always did because of his white hair, and the ones who did notice him were friendly, more friendly than he ever knew.
What exactly did the princess tell them, did she threaten them? Why would she go that far for me?
He recalled her saying she was repaying a favor for someone, who in the world could that be? He had a really short term memory so he sucked at remembering stuff, it was really hard for him to recall who exactly could the princess be repaying a favor on behalf of.
He wasn’t really a helper, he kept to himself most of them time, so who...who...wait!
The last raid. For the first time in his life, he had saved someone. Not just one but two people, that was a memory he could never forget. Was this him already reaping the benefits. Could it be one of those two people the princess was talking about? It was either Real, or the healer he had also saved back then.
"Enough with the whispers, we’re heading in." Ash’s voice cut through, silencing everyone.
