STARING at the man in front of him, Astrid suddenly remembered all the shit this guy pulled when they first met. In all honesty, he truly didn’t want to meet this person again. He simply didn’t want to have anything to do with him. But right now, for some reason, this guy no longer seemed like a big ball of annoyance. Was it because he apologized? That’s probably it. And besides, he didn’t just apologize. He bowed his head and even honestly admitted what he did wrong. If the one who did all that was not the prince, it probably wouldn’t have the same effect. But the fact of the matter was, it was indeed the prince. The few hours that they spent together in Delryria gave Astrid an overview of how the prince was like. He was an overbearing jerk who was used to having everything go his way. If there was an obstacle, he would just go through it like a bulldozer. He didn’t care who might get hurt along the way. He would say and do whatever’s on his mind no matter what others might have felt about it. In short, he’s very insensitive. Not to mention, his EQ was probably on the negative scale. The type of person who wouldn’t really think that he should apologize to another person. And yet, this same guy apologized to him. How could Astrid not be affected even just a tiny bit? He even felt a bit magical. Because how could this prince just suddenly realized his wrongdoings and even willingly apologized to him? Did he experience some kind of enlightenment? Or was his soul kidnapped and replaced by another much understanding soul? No, that last one was a bit too farfetched. But still, it truly made one wonder. Should he just ask? Since he did answer him earlier, maybe he really should just do that instead of thinking of too many nonsensical things. “How did Your Highness suddenly realize that the things you did in Delryria when we first met were wrong?” Wulfric saw Aster tilting his head and asking him with a very curious expression. He truly wanted to just stretch his hand and pinch his cheeks due to frustration. At the end, he could only scoff and said; “Do you take me for a fool? I have a brain with an SSS level mental strength. Of course, I’m capable of analyzing the things that I did and concluding that they were wrong.” “Then, does that mean that Your Highness often apologize to people?” Wulfric frowned. “Why would you even think that?” “Because with Your Highness’ temperament, you’re surely the type to often offend people because of the things you do or say,” Astrid said straightforwardly. He wasn’t really afraid that the other would be mad at him for saying such things. Which was weird. He just had a feeling that this guy, no, Wulfric wouldn’t. Probably because right now, instead of a wolf, he’s simply seeing a puppy. Again, weird. Just as he thought, Wulfric only tsked. And then he scratched his hair forcefully as if annoyed. “Why would I waste my time analyzing the shit I did to other people? I only did so because it was you! If it was not you, then I definitely wouldn’t have bothered.” Astrid blinked. And then he felt his whole face heating up. He was certain that he was definitely blushing right now. How could he not when this guy just basically told him that he only pondered about the things he did when they met and then apologized because he was special? Seeing the teenager’s whole face turned into a ripe peach, Wulfric also realized that there was something wrong with what he just said. And then his whole face also heated up. But despite feeling all embarrassed, he still couldn’t take his eyes off of Aster. Because this was the first time he had seen him blushing. He almost couldn’t help but turn on his Terminal and take a picture of him. He even wanted to take a bit of those cheeks that looked like ripe peaches. It would probably taste really good. He shook his head. What the heck was he thinking? He just apologized and yet his mind still started thinking about something that he probably shouldn’t. So, he simply looked away, hoping that those thoughts would also disappear. “Ah, shit.” Looking at Wulfric who seemed to turn into a puppy whose fur was ruffled the wrong way, Astrid almost wanted to laugh. Because of that, his emotions also calmed down. This annoying wolf just turned into a cute puppy. How could he not be amused? So, finally, he said, “I accept Your Highness’ apology on the ground that you won’t do it again.” Wulfric abruptly turned his head towards Aster. “You- do you mean it? You really forgive me?” “Well, if Your Highness wants me to take it back, then—” “No! Definitely no take backs!” Wulfric quickly said. “I swear, from now on, I will try not to do things that you will hate.” Of course, the word ‘try’ didn’t escape Astrid’s notice. But, right now, that’s probably the best that he could get from this guy anyway. More importantly, he probably should focus more on the words ‘from now on’. Because that implied a lot of things. “Does Your Highness plan to meet up with me even after this?” he just asked directly. “I- I want to.” Wulfric gave him a tentative glance. “Can’t I?” If this guy really turned into a puppy, Astrid would probably have seen his ears and tail down. Showing his uncertainty and slightly gloomy mood. Because of that, he almost said ‘yes’ right there and then. Good thing he managed to stop himself from time. “Then, may I know why Your Highness want to meet me again?” “I—” Wulfric stopped. He seriously didn’t know how to answer Aster’s question. But seeing the other’s inquiring look, he suddenly felt some kind of pressure. And then, before his brain could think properly, he just found himself blurting out; “I want to eat your homecooked meals again!” Astrid stopped, blinked, and then just outright laughed.
