Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 281: Leaving The Kingdom!

While Amaryllis was laughing at the cost of my misfortune past, I observed the room to pass the time as I waited for her to regain some level of control, but it ended up taking much longer than I expected.

"Princess, I can assure you it is not THAT funny." Said Alexander blandly with a deep sigh as he took bites of the appetizer while glancing at Amaryllis, who had started crying from laughing so hard.

My words fell on deaf ears as she continued to laugh, though, from the sounds of things, she was finally beginning to calm down, which helped to ease the annoyance slightly. After another minute, Amaryllis had finally stopped laughing and was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, though whenever she glanced at me, a chuckle would escape her lips.

"Haa, have you laughed enough?" Asked Alexander as she stared at Amaryllis, who quickly covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter before taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"I would like to apologize, Alex, for my insensitive behavior." Said Amaryllis apologetically as she lightly bowed toward Alexander, who rolled his eyes while dismissively nodding.

"It's fine, I don't really care. Though, no way in hell am I actually believing you're apologetic." Remarked Alexander lightly as he shook his head while glancing at Amaryllis, who was biting her lip, using pain to suppress her laughter.

"S-So, what were we speaking of before, Alex?" Asked Amaryllis lightly as she brushed her hair behind her ears while glancing at Alex with a fond smile, causing him to shrug his shoulders.

"I don't know, someone spent nearly five minutes laughing, and I forgot." Replied Alexander while eyeing Amaryllis, who pouted in embarrassment though she didn't attempt to refute him.

In the end, neither of us managed to remember what we were talking about before this; I actually did remember, but I didn't think it would be a good idea to bring up the topic of stairs around Amaryllis, not after I just sacrificed myself to make her forget about it.

However, thankfully, we were saved from the growing awkwardness as the doors slowly opened, allowing a beautiful Dryad woman wearing a suit to enter while pushing a cart.

'Not all women can pull off suits, but when they do, damn, do they look good.' Thought Alexander as he watched the Dryad woman, appreciating her beauty while she approached them.

While dreaming of Yuki, Michelle, and Lazuli wearing a suit, the woman had unloaded several plates of food onto the table and was now walking away.

'Master, don't you dare– And he looked.' Said Trina firmly as she narrowed her eyes at Alexander, only to lower her head in defeat while sighing.

'Damn, she's wearing that suit good.' Mused Alexander with a faint smile as he looked at the Dryad, only for the doors to close, leaving him alone with Amaryllis.

"Did you like her?" Asked Amaryllis with a frown as she eyed Alexander, who glanced at her with a raised eyebrow before shaking her head.

"No, I just thought she looked really beautiful in that suit; after all, not every woman can pull that off. Why, you ask?" Replied Alexander lightly as he grabbed a handkerchief and copied Amaryllis, stuffing it into his shirt.

"You were staring at her for a rather long time." Said Amaryllis calmly as she eyed Alexander, who shrugged his shoulders while grabbing his utensils.

"It's not every day you see a woman in a suit." "Hmm, I suppose that is true." Remarked Alexander and Amaryllis, respectively, as the former didn't hesitate to dig into his food while the latter joined him.

Unfortunately, after some thinking, I concluded none of my lovers had the correct body type to pull off a suit. Yuki was too muscular and voluptuous, Michelle was also too curvy, and Lazuli was the opposite; she was a little too short and lithe. Of course, that didn't stop me from wanting to see them in suits; I personally just think they couldn't correctly pull them off, though I dearly hoped I was wrong.
