Chapter 21: Speaking With Aria (1)
Remembering that they weren't alone, Shaun quickly bowed as he said, "It's an honor to meet the crown prince. I apologize for my poor manners, your highness."The prince waved a hand as he said, "It's quite alright. It must have been quite shocking to receive my summons.""I will admit that I can't understand why the crown prince would summon someone like me to the castle," he said as he glanced back at Aria. "Especially in the presence of a hero."Raising an eyebrow, the prince said, "I'm surprised you know she's a hero considering you have never met her.""Your highness wouldn't allow just anyone to stay in your presence, and it is well known what the crown prince's fiance looks like," Shaun said.With a nod, the crown prince said, "You're quite intelligent despite your standing."Twitching at the words, Shaun forced himself not to show any other reaction. He couldn't say for sure if the prince was trying to praise or insult him since he d
Chapter 22: Speaking With Aria (2)
Grasping onto the opportunity that Shaun presented, Aria said, "That's alright. I'm sure whatever information you have will be helpful.""I can tell you a little about the kingdom. The Kingdom of Chaz is one of twenty something countries. It's not the biggest, but it isn't the smallest either. It's surrounded on three sides by the ocean so it only shares its border with one other country," he explained."I see," she said with an uncertain look.The information he was telling her wasn't really all that useful for her.

However, he knew how important information was, so he needed to at least give her some background information."The crown prince is quite reliable, and you can count on him to be fair and just," he continued.Of course, he was just saying that for
Chapter 23: Close Call (1)
Shaun instantly found himself back in his old world, facing his bullies, who had cornered him yet again. He wasn't the baron's illegitimate son but a regular college student with no way to defend himself. Suddenly, a sharp pain and the taste of blood filled his mouth, breaking the illusion. He had bitten down on his tongue hard enough to draw blood.He grimaced as the same person from before shouted, "Hey! I'm talking to you. Are you deaf or mute?""Maybe he's both," one of the women said before cracking up.The rest started laughing along as well, acting like a bunch of hyenas. Shaun so wanted to storm up to them and sock one of them in the face, but he restrained himself. This wasn't the right time to act. He had to stay composed and not make a scene. However, the thought of bowing down to them made him sick to his stomach.[Dear user, do you want the system to intervene?]Shaun slightly shook his head. Even though he wanted to take it up on its offer, he couldn't. He wasn't sure wh
