The Prince (WMMAP FanFic)

Ch 69 : A secret day out

Life was going pretty great. Arius was happy. Everything was going so well. The next week was filled with fun for him. 

He would go to the Aquamarine mansion every day to talk with Millicent and play with Edwin and Edna.

Athanasia started tagging along as well.

Claude had yet to speak of Arius's aunt, but Arius decided to not ask much since Millicent was also hesitant.

The Villareals would join them for dinner on alternate days and as I said before, life was going pretty well.

And now was the last day of the Villareals visit. They were going to leave the next morning. And to spend the last day, they planned to go out in the city.

A secret day out.

And when I said they, I mean Edwin, Edna, Arius, Athanasia and their knights.

And so when they were all done with lunch, the six of them gathered and they teleported to the city. Arius changed their appearance and told everyone to stick close.

Arius wanted to introduce Edwin and Edna to his friends in the city, but as soon as they came to the city, Edna and Edwin revealed a list of places they were dying to visit.

"Didn't you come to the city about five times already?" Arius asked as he stared at the long list.

"And isn't the city big enough to still have things we have yet to see?" Edna answered as she took out a pen from her bag.

"Sure." Arius shrugged. "Gun , Cad, you guys can go on to meet them. We'll meet up at the Wfiren Market by sunset, at the fountain."

"Your Highness we can't leave you all alone. We're you're knights." Gunther reasoned.

"Gun, you go, I'll stay here." Cadell concluded.

"What? No. "

"Geez, You haven't seen Mia for a while now. I go on errands in the city and usually drop in for a while."

"Errands?" Arius asked as he gave Athanasia a questioning gaze.

Athanasia just averted her gaze and rushed the two knights conversation. "Okay so. its decided! Cad is staying! "

And so, the leaf-head separated from the rest of the group.

"Okay then, what's first on your list?" Arius asked Edna.

Edna smiled wickedly as she gave Arius the list.

Arius gulped as he went through the list of places.

Today was gonna be a very long day.

They had visited apothecaries as Edna had a unique interest in herbs and was hoping to find ones that didn't grow in Feradona. Well herbs was a vague word, she was more or less asking the shop owners about poisons.

Arius made a mental note to never, ever, ever, get on her bad side.

Next they had gone through the alley markets of Obelia. They didnt get anything from there but they enjoyed the market's liveliness and variety. There were snake charmers and eagle tamers. Athanasia wanted to touch the eagle and so they all had turns for the eagle to stand on their shoulders.

Suprisingly, Athanasia remained calm when the eagle gripped her shoulder with its sharp claws. On the other hand Edwin screamed and hid behind Edna a second after the eagle touched it.

As someone who was fond of snakes, Arius challenged Edwin to keep a snake on his shoulder for a whole five minutes.

Arius was expecting him to scream again, but Edwin seemed more comfortable with snakes than eagles. The snake charmer had two cobras, and although he was reluctant to allow the children to touch and place the snakes on their shoulders, he was impressed as well.
