When she arrived outside the tavern, Olivia saw Yupanki, the knight she thought highly of, was busy working as a waiter in the tavern and looked even happy. Was this proper?
Feeling humiliated, the princess entered the tavern in anger with her cheek puffed out.
Alan found them the moment the three people entered. It was said that they were almost there yesterday. They arrived sooner than he had expected.
“Hey, Olivia, you’re back. How was your journey, Stanton?” Alan greeted warmly.
Stanton, with a still poker face, nodded in response.
Olivia was silent and visibly angry.
Alan was a little confused.
“Your Highness, welcome back!” Yupanki, who had finally finished his work, came to the bar counter and looked at Olivia happily.
“Humph!” Olivia snorted and sat down in a corner.
Alan and Yupanki looked at each other in a puzzle. “You should go over. I think she has something to tell you.” Alan said.
Alan was a bit afraid of Olivia in anger, so he would rather avoid going over and getting into trouble.
Carrying Lafite wine which Alan asked to bring over, Yupanki came to the corner.
“Your Highness! Is everything going well?”
Olivia nodded. Perhaps things were going relatively well, though her expression was still not very good, Olivia seemed not so angry anymore. “Let’s talk about your condition in the tavern for the past few days first.”
After pouring the wine and watching Olivia sipping it, Yupanki sat on the chair and told what was going on in the past few days.
“Your Highness, I have to say, if it weren’t for the serious internal strife in your royalty, Oreste Empire would be much stronger than Roders. After coming to Rock City, I saw foods and tools that I had never seen before in Roders, and these things are what ordinary people can have here.”
“Besides, Roders may not exist in less than three years as long as Alan’s magic wine is here.” Speaking of magic wine, Yupanki’s eyes were full of shock, while Olivia’s face was full of pride.
“Moreover, magic wine has no side effects at all. It can be used by people from low-level to high-level, and even by Grand Mage. Most importantly, it can be mass-produced. It’s invincible!”
The more Yupanki talked, the more excited he became, while the more serious Olivia’s face became when she listened.
“Even commoners can afford to drink magic wine in Alan’s place. Once it gains ground to the entire kingdom, how many times the bottom-level combat power of the kingdom would increase can be predicted. What a powerful weapon of war...”
“You said that magic Lafite is a magic wine that can popularize? !” Olivia could not help but interrupt Yupanki’s narration, with her face frighteningly dark.
“Yes, many customers would come to drink at regular intervals. Moreover, there is a large amount of stock in the wine cellar. Those wines are sorted into categories, marked with the time of brewing and the magic strength, and neatly placed.”
Yupanki ignored Olivia’s black face and continued to reveal Alan’s secret.
“By the way, Your Highness, Alan has a great relationship with the Elf. I heard from other customers that Sophia, the owner of the Elf tavern in the city, is a regular customer of the tavern, having a good relation with Alan.”
“Last night, the Queen of the Elf, Orina, also came to the tavern. It seems that she and Alan are having an affair. Maybe Alan will become... Hehehe...”
Looking at the lewd smile on Yupanki’s face, Olivia felt so angry to a critical point that she was like a balloon that was about to bomb!
...
Alan left enough space for the four persons, the master and servants. He did not get closer, nor let the guests approach.
At this time, the sun was gradually going down to the west. The Sky was blood-red with the setting sun, which was somewhat strange and bright.
Wayne carefully walked into the tavern with his head lowered and sat down at the old seat in front of the bar counter.
He felt a thin figure standing beside him, raising his head and smiling at Alan. After all, he was an elder, so it was difficult for him to apologize. He tried to muddle through.
“Aha...” After looking at each other and holding it in for a long time, Alan and he finally couldn’t help but laugh.
“My dear Wayne, you don’t have to be like this. I’m not angry with you. You don’t have to take what happened last night to heart.”
After saying that, Alan shouted towards the outside of the door, “I’m not angry anymore.”
When he saw that only Wayne came in, he felt quite strange. Then, Wayne subconsciously looked outside of the door. Thus, Alan guessed that Orina was probably hiding outside.
After shouting, Alan waited for a while, and saw an enchanting figure elegantly entering the tavern.
He smiled at her. Orina’s face instantly stiffened which seemed that she was a little embarrassed.
“Sit down, please.” Alan gestured for Orina.
Then he turned around and prepared wine for Wayne and Orina.
A bottle of high-level magic Lafite would be enough as Wayne just needed it to heal his injuries, while Orina’s alcohol tolerance was not so good so drinking Lafite wine must be better for her.
However, what he didn’t expect was that the words he said when he tricked Olivia into buying high-level magic Lafite had become a life-threatening charm now.
Even Alan himself didn’t know how many secrets had been discovered by Yupanki during the time he worked in the tavern. Now, he was reporting them one by one to Olivia.
At this moment, Orina and Wayne, two people who seemed obviously to be dissatisfied with each other, were sitting at the same table drinking wine.
“Bang...” A loud sound came from the corner.
“Alan! You b*stard!” Olivia could no longer control her anger.
Alan confusingly looked at Olivia who was about to lose her mind in the corner.
Orina noticed Olivia. She was so shocked that she took a deep breath and covered her red lips with one hand.
“What’s wrong with me?” Alan asked in confusion.
“Huff... Huff...”Olivia was so angry that she was panting heavily. Unfortunately, there was no fluctuation on her flat chest.
“You, how dare you ask me? What’s wrong? ! Don’t you know what’s wrong? !”
“Give me back the 500 gold coins!”
“Hiss...” Upon hearing that he should pay back the money, Alan was instantly in desperation. His heart was suddenly in a mess.
“Awful, Awful! Yupanki must have known everything when he worked in the tavern. He must have come clean just now. How awful. Olivia must be going to kill me...”Alan thought of all kinds of ways to remedy the situation, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
“Olivia, you’d have better explain the matter clearly before being angry...”Orina was worried that Alan would be bullied, so she said.
“Orina, shut up! I treated you as a friend in the Elf, and you teamed up with him to lie to me!”
“You, you’re all bad people... all of you, all of you bullied me!”
The more Olivia spoke, the more aggrieved she became. Her large, mischievous eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was filled with grievance.
Alan and Orina were good friends, she thought, and Alan knew that she was going to the forest of the Elf to visit Orina. However, Alan first used the high-level magic Lafite wine to cheat for her money. And then, in the forest of the Elf, Orina had tricked her into signing an agreement, and even cheated her of her friendship!
Olivia was only sixteen years old. No matter how sensible and brave she pretended to be, she was still a young girl just come of age.
When Alan heard Olivia shout his name angrily, he knew that his lie had been uncovered. As soon as he was trying to think about how to fix it, she started to cry.
Alan, who could not bear to see the girl cry, was at a loss. He did not know how to comfort her.
Orina was also very flustered. To her, Alan was the first friend she had made, and she did not know if Olivia was a real friend for her.. When Olivia said that Orina deceived her friendship, Orina felt guilty.
