Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 48: Trouble At Lunch Part One

After getting as far away as possible from the strange prince, I brought Emily, Sid, and Claire, to a restaurant for a decent lunch. Now you may be wondering how I was still so hungry after eating so much from the food stalls? Well, my answer to this is, I am still a growing girl! To be honest I am quite surprised myself. Over the course of the past week after eating so many hearty meals at the Ronstine estate my appetite has really grown. 

My sunken in cheeks have already started growing fuller, which has, if I do not say so myself, made me become even more beautiful than I had realized. If I were to compare the before and after it was like a whole new person. Now I had considered this body as beautiful when I first came to this world when compared to my last but now I can definitely say without a doubt that I was a looker. Okay, maybe I am being conceited but I can't help it. 

Anyway, the restaurant that I am now standing in front of is called Nine Heavens, it is the best restaurant in all of Forelonia and many people come to this city just to come to eat at this restaurant. Frankly speaking, I have no idea why people compare places as they do. I think each restaurant has its own appeal and unless the food they make is utterly disgusting that no one is willing to go there, then no place is better than the last.

All places have their own unique taste and should be highly regarded. I say this because if you were to go to one restaurant you may find hundreds of loyal customers that will only go there. This said restaurant could be owned by two elders who have owned the place since time memorial. Although their food is cheaply made to some it was ten times better than that expensive stuff you find in a five star restaurant. 

But who am I to talk, when I am here at one of those fancy restaurants wanting to try their food. I think Able, Ruth, and Cedric are really spoiling me I need to make sure I never lose my true self just because I am treated so well. Ruth was the one who got me a private room reserved just for my outing today. 

I walked up to the entrance where the hostess was standing, she smiled at me and gave a slight bow before saying. "Do you have a reservation?"

"Ahh yes, Ronstine please." I replied, returning the smile. 

Hearing the name the hostess's eyes lit up and nodded at me before grabbing a menu and saying: "This way please."

She brought me to the second floor to one of the private rooms that had a table that could easily fit ten people. The hostess placed the menu on the table and turned to me and explained: "When you are ready please press the button to the side. Someone will come to take your order at that time." 

I nodded and gave my thanks before going to sit down. But as I sat I noticed Emily, Sid and Claire all stayed standing which made me sigh. "Can you three sit, I brought you all here so we can share a meal."

"Young Miss we shouldn't..." Sid wanted to protest but I cut him off.

"You call me Young Miss but you won't listen to me? I said on the way here that I would treat you to a meal, so come sit!" This was something I was having a hard time getting used to was this whole master-servant thing. I understand that there was a set of rules to follow but even at dinner I make Emily sit next to me and have a meal with everyone else. I even asked Ruth if she was bothered by my actions and Ruth said there was nothing wrong with treating those close to you well. Following the social norms was not something you should worry about when in private. 

This much I could understand. This world was a place where the king rules and nobles raised their noses in the air. As such those of higher standing would also throw their weight around because they had the ranking to do so. Besides the King who rules the lands, there was the Duke/Duchess, Magic Knight General which was Cedric's current rank, Marquess/Marchioness, Magic Knights, Viscount/Viscountess, Baron/Baroness which is the rank my good for nothing father is. 

Now the thing about magic knight titles is that they were not hereditary. You could not have your great grandfather become a magic knight general and expect to take on this title when they retired. Things did not work like this. As a magic knight, you had to work into your title. You can gain the status of magic knight which put you above the viscount but to make it to be a general you had to have many achievements under your belt and showed an aptitude for leadership, among other qualities as well. In any case, it was not an easy thing to achieve.

I hoped maybe someday I could earn such a rank. But even if I couldn't, just having the magic knight title was enough to make me happy since it would mean I could break completely away from the Lancaster name. But then again in a way, I was already separate from the Lancasters thanks to Ruth. 

After some delay, Sid, Emily, and Claire all sat down somewhat nervously. This made me chuckle as I said: "Take this as my way of trying to break the ice between us. It seems we will be together for a while so I wish for us to become friends instead of just a master and servant." 

"Young Miss is too kind." Claire said forming a rare smile on her normally stoic face. 

But just as we were beginning a ruckus could be heard right outside the door. "What do you mean this room is taken!? Do I not come every week around the same time!? How could you give my room up to some stranger!? Go tell the person inside that this Princess wants this room."
