The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 34. Date

As the carriage finished transporting us, we got out right on the outskirts of BlackStone City. Sarah took out a potion and took it. it turned her hair a mute blue and her eyes black. I asked what she just did.

" This is a potion to disguise me! If the Princess just walks on down the street, A mob will form. How will we enjoy our date being constantly interrupted?"

" Fair point."

" I have one for you to, you look too human. You'll be found out easily. Don't worry, this is another potion my mother made!"

After being handed the potion, I drink it. It tastes like apple juice. A feeling like being wrapped in a net overtakes me, then disappears. My skin went from the pale tone it usually is, to the color of gingerbread. I look at Sarah and she obviously likes what she sees. I ask her what my appearance looks like now.

" Your eyes are pale yellow, and your hair is amber colored now. I like how you usually look, but variety isn't bad."

" Well, I prefer how you look normally. I thought something bad happened when your hair started changing color."

Sarah's cheeks went red, and she started nibbling on her bottom lip. She started to whisper something but seeing as I couldn't hear her, I asked her to repeat herself. I bring my ear closer to Sarah as she speaks.

" It's unfair of you to attack when I'm not expecting it!"

" Well, just consider this payback for all the times you blindsided me."

" Unfair, John."

Sarah jumped into my chest and lightly hit my chest with the bottoms of her fists. I simply held her until she calmed down. Once she did, she had a request of me.

" I want to hold hands while in the town, is that ok?"

" I don't see a reason why not. You are my guide today. What the guide says, goes."

After saying that Sarah grabbed my arm and tangled her arm around it. She then Interlocked her fingers between mine. We began to walk into the city gates. The first thing I noticed when walking into BlackStone is the tall, long wall made up of BlackStone. Like a black bar that was several stories tall and what must be wrapped around the city, except for the lake that can be seen to the city's side. perfectly viewable from our carriage ride into the city. Sarah and I entered the city after Sarah showed the gate guards some papers she had in her magic storage. I spoke to her about that spell.

" Can I learn that spell?"

" I'm not sure actually. If you can, my mother will most likely teach you. However, I hope she doesn't."

Confused at her statement, I couldn't help but question it.

" Why is that?"

" Because if you don't know it, then you have one more reason to need me!"

" Well, we can see when we get back. Worst comes to worst, you'll be in charge of luggage, I guess. I hope I can count on you when the time comes."

" Of course! It's the duty of a wife to support her husband!"

Sarah cuddled up to me and tightened her grip on my hand. We started walking into BlackStone City. The first thing that drew my eyes was the construction of the city. Tall buildings made of multiple-colored stones. I asked what the type of rock was called, and Sarah answered.

" Those are known as rainbow stones! They are made by enchanting mana into a type of stone called a colorless stone. You find them in mines all around Gaia. But enough about the architecture. The important thing to see is the food stalls and shops. BlackStone is the Captial of Diablos for a reason!"
