Endless Leveling Done Right!

Chapter 468: Taking A Stroll In The City Of Solivane

Xenia walked side by side with Mary, who had also changed into more casual clothes at the princess’s request.

She had ordered Alex and Chuck to do the same so that they could roam the city like actual tourists.

The guards following the princess from a safe distance were in dress shirts with loud, garish prints that shouted, ”We aren’t locals!”

While that was tacky, Xenia and Alphonse reasoned that Demon Worshipers would assume that someone dressed this way could not possibly be travelling incognito.

Besides, such shirts seemed oddly popular among visitors.

Princess Xenia had already given her itinerary to her guards so that they would not have a hard time following her through the crowd.

”Both of them looked like they’re used to doing this,” Chuck said to Alex, who was walking a few steps away from the two ladies.

”I think Prin—errr Xenia needs to unwind from time to time,” Alex replied. ”The role she plays is very important. I am sure it comes with a lot of pressure. It’s like she’s working all the time without any day off. Playing truant for a day isn’t a bad thing.”

Chuck nodded in agreement. He was engaged to the princess due to a political agreement between his father and the King of Avalon.

However, he had already had a heart-to-heart talk with Princess Xenia. She knew that Chuck was only doing this for the sake of his sick mother.

The princess had also given her word that she would help to search for the ingredients needed for the cure. Until then, they would remain engaged to each other so that the King wouldn’t set her up with another noble who might be... less pliant.

It wasn’t because she wasn’t loved by her father.

On the contrary, she was treasured and treated well by the King. However, she was still a princess, and as a princess, she needed to make sacrifices for the sake of her people.

”The majority of people think that being born in a noble household is a good thing,” Chuck said. ”But it still depends on which noble household you are born to. While I do agree that being born into aristocracy has its advantages, sometimes, I wish that I had a different father.”

Alex could tell from his friend’s tone that his relationship with his father wasn’t the best.

”Alex, I’ve always been curious, where is your hometown?” Chuck suddenly changed the topic. ”I’ve asked Dim Dim, but it wouldn’t give me any answer.”

Alex glanced at the little bun, who was humming while resting on top of Chuck’s head.

It was enjoying the scenery around it, but still paying enough attention to catch the conversation between the two teenagers.

”I came from a very far away place, Chuck,” Alex replied.

”Where exactly?” Chuck asked. ”Come on. Aren’t we friends? You can tell me.”

Alex steeled himself. ”Well, since you insist, I’m going to tell you where I came from.”

Chuck looked at his friend with anticipation because this was something that he had wanted to know for a very long time.

”I came from there.” Alex pointed at the sky above their heads.

”You came from... up there?” Chuck asked in disbelief. ”Who do you think you are? Mr. Bean? Someone who fell from the sky?”

Dim Dim giggled after hearing Chuck’s comment. The little bun did know someone named Mr. Bean and it found that guy quite amusing.

Alex didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. He had told the truth, but Chuck refused to believe him!

”Tsk!” Chuck clicked his tongue. ”Do you think you can fool me? I’m sure next time you’ll say that you were shot out of a cannon and somehow landed in Arcana.”

Alex and Dim Dim blinked at the same time.

This had really happened. But there was no way Chuck would buy that.

In the end, Alex just shook his head helplessly and changed the subject.

The teenagers strolled around the city for several hours, enjoying the sights and sounds that Solivane had to offer.

More than once, Chuck was forced to share the food he had bought from street stalls with Princess Xenia and Mary. Alex and Dim Dim smirked as the poor guy grumbled under his breath.

Chuck complained that the two could buy their own food, but the two girls simply preferred eating food he had bought for himself.

For Alex, this was the most relaxing trip he had experienced in the city.

But this simple happiness came to an end over lunch.

When Princess Xenia decided to eat at a restaurant near a popular attraction, Lavinia, Latifa, Lumi, Evangeline, and Eleanora also arrived at the same place by ”accident”.
