Yuito - Thirst Of Throne

Chapter 6

Douma explains to Ayata why he is unable to attend the celebration. Ayata is perplexed and unaware of the celebration. He has been alone since he was a child. His stepmother abandoned him in a riverbank alleyway. Thankfully, he can survive starvation. He is now twelve years old. Douma regards him as the bravest person to have ever survived alone. It's no surprise that he's clueless about the celebration. Because he has no idea.

Douma rushes Ayata to the palace, riding his own pegasus. He tells Ayata to mount the pegasus and hold tight to his waist because the pegasus being trained by the royal guards is the fastest ever. As soon as Ayata obeyed Douma's command, the pegasus took off as fast as it could.

Wait! Where is the tea stall? I'm completely lost!! Everyone pitched in! I can't see anything. There are far too many people in this area. I can just see how busy the people in the palace are walking through them without thinking about anyone who is short like me. If the children are not holding their parent's hands, they will most likely be difficult to locate. I'm certain.

Hmmm. That guy seems lost to me. How about I approach him and we help each other get through these people? "Hello! Are you also lost? It's quite crowded here. I'm not sure where I need to go because I can't see anything from where I am. "Can we assist each other in locating our own destinations?"

HOLD ON! WHAT!! Why is he ignoring me while I'm speaking? What a jerk. All I need is some assistance. I understand how it feels when I don't respond to my mother's question, I believe it's my karma. Oh Lord! I'd previously made a mistake. Please accept my apology! But something about this guy makes me suspicious. He's been standing there for a few minutes, holding a book with a Japanese brush. Is he a painter? Journalist? I'm not sure and I'm not interested. Such a conceited young man. I hope I never see you again. Herhh.. I'm going to circle around here until I find the tea stall. I have a time before noon. Hopefully, I'll find it soon.

"Where are you going?" Wow. His voice is completely nerdy. Yes, he is clearly a nerd. That's why he's disoriented and clutching a book with a Japanese brush. Now I see. But his demeanor is revolting. Do I have to respond after what he did to me not long ago?

"Don't be silent. I need your response. I'm sure you want us to help each other. It's not a problem. I'll assist you, and you'll assist me. Is there a deal?" My current reaction is puzzlement. How did he become so good in such a short period of time? Is he suffering from a multiple personality disorder? Am I appealing to his benevolence? Is that his power?

"Please. If you refuse, I will leave. "I'm rushing." Wait. Riley. Respond to him. You, too, require his assistance, right? If you arrive late, you will be late for the meeting and will disappoint your friends who have been waiting for you for hours.

"Yesss! Deal!! Now. "Where are you going?" He appears to be quiet. Is he on his way somewhere or not? I'm curious. This entire situation is ridiculous. Why does his nerdiness bother me? I feel like I was treated like a nerdy girl instead of him. Isn't that his demeanor?
