Reincarnated Hero System-Chapter 346 Meeting Myra…And An Unwanted Extra
'The future Crown Princess!'
Most of the adventurers present either had commoner origins, or were of low-ranking noble families, so there was a huge status difference between them and the two girls.
Of course, that also got them wondering about just who this sapphire-eyed girl she referred to as 'Eliza' was seeing their close interactions.
However, the three of them seemed not to pay any attention to them as even the guild official who hastily bowed to greet the two nobles was at a loss on how to carry on her job as she didn't dare interrupt a noble who was speaking.
"Ah, my apologies.
You must have been busy, right?
Finish up with what you were doing first."
Noticing the troubled guild official who she had not seen before, Myra apologised before taking a step back to let them finish their conversation.
Of course, the guild official who was apologised to was now under a whole different kind of stress, thinking about how she was going to be known as the one who made the Future Crown Princess apologize to her.
However, before she could even say anything, she saw a small black cat materialize out of Eliza's shadow and jump up onto the blonde girl's shoulder.
"Huh?"
"Kuro? What's up?"
Her exclamation of shock was promptly ignored as Eliza rubbed the chin of the cat and asked, with someone with an appraisal skill screaming something about a spirit in the background.
[Master was wondering why multiple strong presences suddenly entered the building.]
"Oh…that."
Eliza spoke as she glanced at the grandmaster-level knights who were part of the Future Crown princess's guard detail with the eyes of the girl in question shining with adoration as she saw the cat on Eliza's shoulder.
"Cute...!!!"
As Kuro acquired one new fan who succeeded in gaining permission to pet the cat, Eliza and the daughter of Duke Cheverton introduced themselves to each other.
"Oh, so you were the one Princess Laurene was talking about."
However, just after she spoke, her expression turned strange as she asked Eliza another question.
"But she said you were with the Prime Minister's son…in that case is he curren-"
Her question was cut short by the voice of the Prime Minister's son in question who just came down the stairs after a short discussion with the guild master, Dasyra.
"A quiet guild hall? This is a rare sight to see."
Evan remarked as he casually walked down the flight of stairs and towards the trio of girls, however, the expressions on the faces of the B and A-ranked adventurers present weren't as casual as his.
'What's this kid?!'
A lot of them had those questions running through their minds as even the grandmaster-level knights had their faces contort slightly upon sensing Evan's presence.
They could not understand why they felt a sense of danger towards a boy that they were sure they would be capable of easily besting in a fight; if they didn't accidentally leave him half-dead from a single serious attack.
And this sense of incongruity was precisely why they were wary.
The lower-ranked adventurers also felt a slight sense of pressure coming from him as the boy didn't do much in the way of restraining his aura which was for some reason, much more powerful than normal.
"Evan? Why are you…"
'…using your skill?'
-is what Eliza wanted to ask as she noticed that the boy's blessing of destruction was currently active, although she could not see visibly see the destruction aura.
However, said skill was the only thing in Evan's arsenal that could make Grandmaster-level existences feel a sense of life-threatening danger towards him, due to its Soul Damage abilities.
"I wanted to make a point, and I was running a slight confirmation test."
'And now I know that even if I hide the destruction aura with concealment, Grandmaster-level existences can still perceive the threat it poses to them.
Either my concealment is not powerful enough or the aura is just that deadly.'
He only replied casually while deactivating the skill as he arrived in front of them, a small smile appearing on his face as he greeted the daughter of the Marquis whom he had spoken with a few hours earlier.
"Lady Myra, long time no see."
"And whose fault is that, Lord Evan."
Myra replied to him while giving the boy a side hug, with Eliza's eyebrows raising in surprise upon seeing this.
'Come to think of it, I don't know how he interacts with other girls in our age range…'
"You seem to have been quite busy these past few weeks. I've been hearing the stories."
"They've spread that much?"
"Lord Evan, have you forgotten how much of a commotion you caused last year? Right now, any news concerning you is bound to spread fast, especially with how high profile you've been."
The boy placed a hand on his chin as he thought with a pensive look on his face before speaking, all while ignoring the glare that the tomboy beside Myra was giving him.
"Well, there was Geto City's incident last year, the Issue in Osto and the following Monster stampede we stopped before coming to Cheverton and going around to kill a bunch of powerful undead.
I guess you can say that I had been taking a fair share of high-profile actions."
"And you completely ignored everything about Kasteblum…"
"Kasteblum? I was there but I don't recall doing anything of note."
"Well…I'm not entirely sure of the whole situation but let's say some nobles who were over there for the winter spotted you with Kasteblum's Vice Chief Grand Magus, multiple times.
And you looked like you were on friendly terms."
"Ohh…Miss Joanna.
Didn't expect that to catch people's attention."
Evan nodded with a look of understanding on his face, temporarily glancing at Eliza who had gone back to handling her quest-related issues before speaking.
"You and Liz know each other?"
"Hmm? Yeah, we met when she was in the capital with Laurene."
"Oh…well, that was expected.
Knowing Laurene, she'd want her close friends to be familiar with each other."
Myra and Evan moved to the side and took a seat at an empty table while chatting with each other, however, everyone present couldn't help but notice that the boy seemed to be ignoring the daughter of the Duchy's lord who was giving him a deadly glare.
Even Myra who didn't notice it at first, realised this after she turned to call out to the other girl, only to see her glowering at Evan.
"I know I'm good-looking enough to make you want to stare all day, but don't forget that you're supposed to be into my 'brother' and not me."
The boy's sudden words caused the brows of Duke Cheverton's daughter to twitch in annoyance, however, she held herself and replied with the politest tone she could muster at the moment.
"Hello to you too, unpleasant human being.
It is NOT nice to see you."
She took a seat right after she spoke, ignoring the stunned expressions of both Myra and everyone else who heard her words. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
"Trust me when I say the feeling is 110% mutual."
Evan snorted a reply as he gazed at the red-haired girl wearing a black equestrian Jodhpurs.
From this short interaction, anyone could see that the two Duke's children obviously didn't have a good relationship with each other.
'So that explains the glare I was feeling when I was talking to Amelie.'
"You two are still the same as ever, huh?"
