Volume 5 Chapter 54: He’s Going To Get Slapped.
"Prince Iston, please help me seek justice!" The same elf was brought to Iston! Given how many elves discussed this, Iston brought the elf to his office.
"Let me understand. That human tried to mess with you and forced you to come back crawling?"
"Yes! That human forced me to walk away in humiliation!"
"Don't worry. I will deal with this matter," When that was said,
"Prince Iston, you're incredible! As expected of the next heir to the throne!" The elf praised him to heaven and earth!
"There's no need to say that. I'm not the crown prince," Iston shook his head. However, the elf insisted,
"You are more than qualified!" It lasted a second before a smile formed, "Do not worry, Prince Iston! I shall support you!"
"Thank you," Iston smiled. He talked with the elf for a few more minutes before he left.
"Are you really going to listen to him?" One of his friends questioned.
"Of course! As the next king of the elves, I must listen to my people!" Iston stated righteously.
"..."
"On a serious note, If I want to become king, I need to gain as many followers as possible," That person was the son of a high-ranking noble. Having him join his side would get him closer to the crown!

"And I want to see what he would do if I broke his cart a second time." Iston was quite curious about this. He had heard about a noble burning it down, and Keith became quite furious.
"Aren't you afraid the human would rush into our island?"
"Like he could do something like that. And besides, he won't be able to trace it back to me." Iston wasn't an idiot. Todd Mills had used a student close to Keith to do his dirty work. He wasn't going to use students at all.
"And that idiot sister of mine," Iston shook his head at how foolish Alfia was. She could have gotten support like that. However, she decided to give it up.
...
"Keith, can I get some soup?" Dennis called out.
"No crepe this time?" Keith questioned. This was a surprise. He knew what the regulars wanted. Dennis would grab a chicken crepe. And with the addition of soup, he would choose pork.
"Mmhmm. Nina is preparing lunch. I have to keep my stomach empty,"
"I see. So, a date," Keith smiled.
"Young man! That is youth!" Cedric and Dalen laughed.
"No! It's not a date! She said she was going to make something. And I got curious! She said she would make me some."
"...I see," Keith shook his head as he handed him the soup. Dennis sniffed the soup, "This smells so delicious. I will share this with Nina!" He quickly walked away, trying to hide his excited expression.
"I get the feeling he's going to get slapped."
"So I'm not the only one."
Dalen and Cedric had a hunch about what was going to happen next. They could only pity Nina.
"Yeah, Dennis is dense like a brick," It was clear that Nina wanted to cook for him. Bring someone else's food was asking to be slapped.
Cedric and the others stared at him,
"Kid, you have no room to talk." "Yeah."
"What do you mean?"
"You're a lady killer," Dalen declared.
"That doesn't mean I'm dense," Keith knew about his good looks. He wasn't a fool like Dennis.
"Nah, you are. I bet you are the type who would say something corny with a smile on your face, acting like there's nothing wrong." Cedric commented.
"Are you kidding me? How would I do something like that?" Keith wanted to cry. And it wasn't only Cedric thinking that. A good number of people were thinking of this. As Keith continued to cook, he noticed the customers were being pushed away,
"What's going on?" What he saw was a group of officers before him.
"You have to move your cart," The guard stated.
"Hmm? Why do I need to move it?" Keith tilted his head.
"Because you're bothering everyone,"
"Eh?" How am I bothering? There weren't that many people around here. When Keith decided on his spot, he picked a place with few stalls. That way, the other vendors could gain traction.
"Move it!"
"But I have all the permits,"
