Bind with Destiny

Chapter 56:

"The Crown Prince will take care of it." Ash confidently said while showing a seal that had the Crown Prince Kerz's seal on it.

"Woah, okay, I'll eat to my heart's content," Davina said as she tasted all of the pastries on their table.

"You should slow down eating, Lady Davina. Your mother will scold you for eating too much." Sir Mao commented as he sipped on the black tea he had ordered for himself.

"She won't if you closed that mouth of yours," Davina said as she looked at Sir Mao.

"Well, if she doesn't ask me, then I will no--" Sir Mao didn't finish his statement when Davina fed him a spoonful of strawberry shortcake with her spoon to shut him up.

"Just shut up, Sir Mao, and eat silently," Davina said as she smiled at Sir Mao, who was glaring at her for freeing him so suddenly.

Ash has a deja vu from her actions towards Sir Mao, especially that habit of hers of feeding Sir Mao so suddenly, which is also Avy's habit when making a person shut up in a conversation that she is losing.

"You should refrain from doing that, Lady Davina, stop feeding me like tha--!" Sir Mao didn't finish his statement once again since Davina fed him again with another spoonful from her cake.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up, Sir Mao. Speak and I will feed you all these sweets until you shut up." Davina said as she let go of his chin, since she had held his chin when she fed him.

Sir Mao nods as he glares at her, but she just smiles at him despite Sir Mao's glaring at her, while Ash just watches them as if he were not there with them. However, his mind was thinking about something, but it was about Avy and Davina.

"Oh, sorry, you had to see that, Ash. It's just normal." Davina said that when she realized that they had someone else with them, she ate her cake with the same spoon that she used to feed Sir Mao.

"It's alright. It's nostalgia seeing you like that." Ash said as he smiled, which made Davina get a shiver dahil hindi naman ngumingiti si Ash ng ganon na tila ba may hindi magandang mangyayari pero para kay Ash it was something he cherished those memories that he had with Avy.

"...I see," Davina said, even though she didn't expect him to smile like that, even Sir Mao was surprised to see Ash smile like that.

"Is there a problem?" Ash said when he noticed that Davina and Sir Mao were oddly quiet.

"Nothing, I jus--" Davina didn't finish her statement when someone interrupted her.

"Oh, I didn't think I would see you here, Ash." Crown Prince Kerz with Ian behind him.

Ash looked at his side, where Crown Prince Kerz was with Ian, looking at them.

"Good to see you again, Lady Bennett." Crown Prince added after he looked at Ash before he looked at her, and Sir Mao beside her.

"Greetings, Your Highness, and Your Grace." Davina and Sir Mao said in unison.

"No need to be so formal, can we sit with you guys?" Crown Prince Kerz said as the servants brought two chairs for them, and they adjusted their chairs since the table was able to accommodate five persons.

"No problem, Kerz. Besides, I am the one paying with your name." Ash said while showing Crown Prince Kerz's own seal, which made him laugh at Ash's statement.

"You do know how to use that." Crown Prince Kerz said as he looked at Ash with amusement, since it was the first time he was using that despite being given to Ash for years now for his alliance with him.
