The Golden Throne

"Are you sure? What for? With the current situation, I think it is better for me to stay by your side at all times.", Arad said, but Liu Feng waved his hand.

"Do you think that there is anyone here who can possibly pose a threat to me? I am much stronger than before. Don't worry, you will be near me anyways.", Liu Feng said.

"Yes, cousin.", Arad retreated leaving Amelia and Liu Feng alone on the table.

Amelia looked at Liu Feng. She asked him, "Why does Arad always call you cousin, and so formally at that? It is a bit weird."

Liu Feng remained silent, and he looked at Amelia. He then said, "Amelia, what I am about to say here is a confession. I fell in love at first sight when I saw you. The moment that we fought, I felt really bad inside, and I really wish that that one week disappeared completely. The moment we kissed that day was by far the best of my life, and I knew at that moment that you were meant for me. Will you be my girlfriend?", Liu Feng said, his voice trembling a little and his back straight as a pole. This was clearly his first time ever confessing to someone like this. Liu Feng, who could face demons and Magical beasts alone without any problem, was dreading the minutes that followed his confession.

Amelia's face flushed red. She said, "I thought that we would wait for a while. Why would you ask this all of a sudden?"

"When I was faced with death all of a sudden in the magical forest, this was one of the few regrets that I had. Please consider my proposal."

Amelia bit her lip, and went silent for a few minutes. Finally, she nodded. Liu Feng's heart started beating rapidly, and he said, "Then I think that we should move somewhere private?"

"Wait. I don't want to move so fast. Let us just keep things slow."

"Alright, as you wish. And, by the way, when is your father coming to the academy?"

"He is going to arrive the day after, when he has completed a few things in the kingdom."

Liu Feng nodded, and he went deep in thought.

Amelia kicked Liu Feng's leg underneath the table, directing Liu Feng's attention at her.

"You really don't know how this relationship goes, do you? You are supposed to pamper me. Don't leave me hanging while you go silent every five minutes."

Liu Feng smiled and said, "Fine then. This is a date. Why don't we get to know each other more?"

Amelia nodded and asked him, "Then at what age did you get your contract with a spirit? Eurus says that you were pretty old when you got your spirit, but that doesn't make any sense. You are young for Elvan standards even now."

"Well... that is...", Liu Feng stuttered. 

Liu Feng was tongue tied. His spirit form was that of his previous life, when he was a middle aged man. How could he explain his reincarnation to Amelia or anyone else for that matter? And he didn't really want to start of his relationship with lies. Thankfully, someone disturbed Amelia's attention.

A gang of ten people arrived at Liu Feng's table and looked at Liu Feng. "Hey boy. Our president is looking for you. Come with us."

Liu Feng yawned and said, "Which club?"

"Glade club. Come with us, I am getting impatient. I will have to use force if you do not cooperate."

"I just don't get it. With what confidence is Steve, or whoever the president of the glade club even thinking about offending me again? The last time something like this happened, the entire inside of the building collapsed, and I heard that Steve lost a few limbs. How is it that you people still don't learn? You are in an academy for god's sake. If you can't learn, for what reason are you even here?", Liu Feng was baffled at the behaviour of these people. Even though he had shown his prowess time and time again, these people still picked a bone to fight with him. 

"Shut up! How dare you question the prince? You are just a mere commoner. To think that you have the gall to speak up to me?", the man shouted.

All around them, the people in the cafeteria felt like it was deja vu. This was not the first time the same incident happened in the cafeteria. The students were eating, and chattering about the spectacle that was going on. They were just a little push away from chanting the word 'fight'.

"Mere commoner? Just what is your problem? I don't get it. You are all literally cowards, and cannot do anything without each other. You all have ego problems, you all probably have daddy issues, and you clearly have some sort of inferiority complex towards commoners, because you keep targeting them.", Liu Feng said, and with each word, the people he was facing had uglier and uglier faces.

The person in the front clenched his teeth and said, "Don't you dare question our status. The president of the glade club has asked us to bring you. Come without any qualms, or there will be a slight problem for your arms and legs."

Liu Feng was a bit irritated now. They were still technically on a date, and even if they did help him out in a difficult time, they still spoiled the mood, and it was getting on Liu Feng's nerves. He looked at them and said,

"The Glade club? Isn't it that club that disbanded because all the members deserted their leader? What is it still doing? I mean you must have some shame in all of this. Acting like cowards when the time comes, and then bullying the weak."

The men's faces were twitching, and everyone in the cafeteria was chattering about what Liu Feng said.

"Kid, I gave you a chance because the president told me to bring you in without a fight, but it looks like you are begging for it."
