Fade was prepared to go back to his hotel. To his surprise, Erin had another celebration banquet for him to attend.
Although he was not interested in these banquets, he still decided to go under Erin's and Celine's persuasion.
The banquet was flooded with the rich and famous from Earland. They were all here to congratulate Erin. The hall was filled with the chatter of people, many of whom were sucking up to her. It was very lively.
However, Fade was not amused. He drank a few glasses of wine in the corner and only talked to those who tried to get close to him.
He checked the time. It was almost nine o'clock.
Although the banquet wasn't over yet, he was ready to leave.
Hence, he went to Celine and said, "Saintess, I think I'm tapped out for the day. I'm going to head back first. Princess Erin is busy entertaining guests, so I won't bother her. Help me pass on the message later."
"Oh, you're going back so soon?" She asked in surprise.
"I'm not used to occasions like this!" He smiled gently.
She immediately apologized,"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I shouldn't have dragged you here. I didn't know..."
"It's okay, don't apologize. It's not that serious. It's just not my thing, that's all."
With this, he was ready to leave.
However, she stopped him and said, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. Let me get Princess Erin. She told me earlier that there's something she wants to say to you."
"Sure!" He stopped.
Celine ran to get Erin. A few minutes later, she came back with the angelic-looking Erin by her side.
Erin looked up at Fade with her puppy dog eyes and said, "Brother Chen, you're leaving already? Can't you stay and have some fun with me?"
He replied, "I'm just going back to the hotel. If you need me, I can come over at any time."
"Then, don't go. Just stay here. Anyway, it's not like there aren't any rooms here."
Hearing this, he could not help but be stunned, "Uh, I don't think that's a good idea. After all, this is your private quarters. If I stay here, it might attract rumors."
She pursed her lips, then said, "Mr. Chen, you are my guest. You even helped me draw the Sword in the Stone, so what's the big deal if I invite you to stay? Anyway, Celine stays over all the time. Sometimes, we even sleep together!"
"Erin, don't..." Celine's cheeks flushed red as she spoke up hastily.
Then, she waved to Fade and explained, "Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. Princess Erin and I are just good friends."
Initially, Fade didn't overthink it. However, after what Celine said, he started to feel some was off.
He couldn't help but take a couple more glances at Celine and Erin. Admittedly, they were both gorgeous. They looked like real-life angels. The idea of the two of them sleeping together was a beautiful sight.
For a moment, some scenes floated into his mind.
However, he quickly shook his head and threw those thoughts out of his mind.
Then, he said, "Well, Celine is a Saintess. I don't think the same logic applies to me!"
Hearing this, Erin suddenly curled her lips and cried, "Brother Chen, do you hate me? If you hate me, then tell me, and I won't bug you anymore"
He couldn't even bear to see a child cry, let alone an angel. She looked like a Greek goddess carved out of marble.
Suddenly, he squatted down, looked at Erin, and coaxed her, "Okay, don't cry anymore. I'll stay here.”
"Yay! That's great. I'm so glad you're staying. Let's have some fun tonight," she shouted excitedly.
