"Lady Charm, Thank you for your understanding. You are very kind." The King grabs Shekki's hand and he lower his head a little.

Shekki panics but the King straighten his body already and smiles at him.

"Don't worry. I will make sure that Princess Caime will learn her lesson."

"Ah-- Um..." a smile spread her lips. "Thank you your majesty."

She wants to stand up but the King pats her hand telling her it doesn't matter. The crown prince smiles and nod at her before they left.

Sighhh---

Shekki finally slacks in the chair.

It's nerve wrecking being in the presence of a royal family.

Shekki looks at her quiet Master and Seniors.

"Master, are you going back today?"

Gander who is reaching for a cookie flinched.

He stares at Shekki.

"Are you going to stay here?"

Shekki blinks. "I still have 2 days vacation, right?"

They all look at her

"You still want to stay, Shekki?" Melvin looks strangely at her.

"Eh? Huh? Is it wrong?" Shekki tilts her head.

"Are you crazy? All of those things happen and you still want to finish your week vacation?" Orbit angrily bite at the cookie and chew angrily.

Shekki pouts "It's not like that."

"You need to recuperate your body. Even if the medicine works it doesn't mean it will have no lingering side effect." Elias said seriously.

"Ehhh??? Really? Then I have to go back already?" Shekki stands up. "Will Master and Seniors wait for me? I will just fetch my things and talk to father."

Everyone is looking at Elias. Elias nods his head. "Go ahead."

Lan looks at Elias and puts the tea cup down. "Side effect?"

Elias looks away. "It's the highest grade." He reply.

How can there be a side effect? All the pills they use are of the highest grade. Not only there will be no side effect. There is a slight chance of helping increase the body constitution.

They all quietly eat.

Shekki happily runs back to them. She is wearing a new dress. Her bright smile is the same as always.

"Master, Seniors, did you wait long?"

"Hurry." Lan said extending his hand.

Shekki's cultivation is not yet that strong to make her float and fly in the air. But her Seniors can.

Shekki happily grabs Lan hand. This icy cold serious guy is really hand to get close to. Now he even offer his own hand. Shekki wants to cry in this progress.

Tightly she grabs in Lan's hand. She will never do this normally since She make sure not to make the other party uncomfortable with the skinship. But since he offered his hand. It was fine to stick with that hand.

Shekki happily grins as she grabs Lan's left hand with her two hands.

Warming Lan's hand.

Lan face forward not seeing Shekki's weird coveted face drooling at his hand but Shekki also can't see Lan's lips arch lightly.

Orbit is flying next to Melvin, pouting.

"Why is she riding with him? She should ride with Master, that at least is fair!" He said starting to frown

Gander looks back at Shekki and Lan. He felt a bit strange but ignore it.

"Let's go faster." He said. They just go without explaining to the other Sect leaders. This is not how he usually do things.

The last time ge rush away. The disciples stay to tell the other sect leader that he went out to seek for someone important. But today he rush out and all his disciple follows him. Their peak will be in chaos.

He knows that but he didn't go back last night despite knowing Shekki is already fine and recovering. It's a strange behaviour.

Clicking his tongue Gander increase the speed.

Shekki throws up after they landed.
