"Good!"
Kelly looked at Darryl with an approving smile and nodded. "Then it's all good now!"
Then, she gave Darryl a waist badge that symbolized the status of a Royal Court Knight.
Everyone thought that Darryl was presumptuous, but Kelly saw Darryl as someone with a free spirit.
The banquet lasted for several hours, and when it ended, it was already late at night.
"Royal Court Knight, please stay!"
A maid suddenly called out to Darryl when the crowd took their leave.
Darryl stopped in his tracks. Domonic and Ivy, who were next to him, followed suit.
"How may I help you?" Darryl asked.
The maid was very respectful to Darryl. "Her Highness wants to see you!" She replied and made a polite gesture to invite Darryl to go with her.
Ah…
Darryl was stunned to hear that.
'It's so late. What does Kelly want to do with me?' Kelly was the Prince's younger sister, and she had a distinguished status. It would raise suspicion if she summoned Darryl by herself.
Dominic and Ivy also wore complex expressions on their faces. Especially Ivy, she was blushing slightly.
"Teacher, don't go!" Ivy tugged Darryl's arm and whispered.
Everyone in the Heavenly Star Principality knew that Kelly—the Prince's sister—had a distinguished status, but she was also a promiscuous person. Her sudden decision to summon Darryl raised suspicions.
Darryl hesitated when he heard Ivy's advice.
On second thought, he figured it would be easier to find Yuri and Bonnie in the future with Kelly's help.
Darryl nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Then, Darryl went with the maid to Kelly's chamber behind the Royal Court.
Ivy stomped her feet angrily after she watched Darryl walk away.
So, that was what she wanted to know.
Darryl thought for a while and responded with a smile. "That...well, nothing special!" Then, Darryl began talking nonsense. He even used a lot of words from the Nine Mainland to confuse Kelly.
Wow!
A few minutes later, Kelly looked admiringly at Darryl and said, "I did not expect that you would know so much! What you said is very interesting. Please stay here tonight."
'What? Did she tell me to stay?'
Darryl was taken aback by Kelly's openness. 'I'm just a Royal Court Knight, yet I got invited to stay overnight in the Prince's sister's room. I would be misunderstood as someone promiscuous if the news traveled.'
Darryl thought and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. I've to go back and rest now. If there's something I can do for you in the future, you can summon me again!"
After that, Darryl opened the door and turned around to leave.
Kelly was a little disappointed, but she still smiled faintly. "Well, I'll see you off then."
"I dare not enjoy such privilege. Please stay, Your Highness!" Darryl said before he quickly left.
