Volume 7 Chapter 8: Be More Wary Going Forward

"Here you are, beautiful ladies. Have some rose tea." Two cups were placed before them. Angelica took the cup and sipped, "This tea is also delicious!" The cottage pie wasn't the only delicious thing. The tea was incredible as well.

Unlike the savory taste, the rose tea was sweet and mellow. It was a perfect meal.

"I feel so spoiled by you." Angelica sighed. Keith had spoiled them left and right with food and tea.

"Do you not like that?" Keith had a playful voice as he quickly took the plate away from her, "I could stop all of this."

"Heck no! Spoil me every day!" Angelica didn't mind that; being spoiled was terrific.

"Go ahead and spoil me with tea and food every day. I can live with that," Keith chuckled as he placed the plate down.

"I'm fine with feeding you two." Keith sipped his tea, "Also, is it fine for me to come to the island like this?" Angelica and Sakura granted him access to the island, which was reserved only for the student council and disciplinary committee squad.

"It's fine." "It would be better to have you come and go as you please than for one of us to go with you." Angelica's smile was serene, while Sakura's actions were calm. Both were nonchalant about it.

"..." I don't think you guys should be okay with it. The others would beg to be here. Thank goodness no one would know about this. Keith would be sweating if he did. There would definitely be a fight.

"It will be fine, and we have more important things to discuss."

"Hmm?"

"We heard that Scarlet had joined your island." Sakura went straight to the point.

"Oh, yeah. She joined my island. Is there a problem with it?"

"Yes, there's a problem with it." Angelica sighed deeply, "You need to be more careful from now on."

"Eh?"

"Keith, you have too much power on your island right now." That was the primary concern they had. The number of people on Keith's island was smaller than that of other islands. But that was not the issue.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"The number of royals you have is four." Who was on Keith's island?

Alfia Alf Betris, princess of the elven kingdom

Herrick Arn Ogun, prince of the beastman kingdom

Scarlet Val Annabelle, princess of the demon kingdom

Melor Dheu Isham, prince of the dwarf kingdom.

"Having those four on your island is already saying a lot."

"But I don't have control over them." There was no way he could control them. They were their own people.

"That doesn't change the fact that you have too much influence." Sakura sighed, "With one word coming from your mouth, people's heads might fly."

"..." Are you kidding me? Keith wanted to retort, but their expressions said it all.

"That's why you need to be more careful. Some of my members are a little wary of you."

"Same here."

"I understand. Don't worry about anything." Keith grinned.

"..." Sakura and Angelica looked at one another. Are you sure?

...

"Hah!" A resounding voice came from Carolyn as she sent starlight swords at a monster. In front of her was a bunch of kobolds. They couldn't last a second as they were sliced in half.

"Is everyone alright?" Carolyn turned to the students. The students nodded, "We are thanks to you, Princess."

"The princess is so amazing!"

"If she wasn't here, we would have been defeated!" This was one of their club activities. It was to help freshmen students practice their skills. And Carolyn shined brightly. However,

"Carolyn, what did you mess up on?" There was one person who didn't express the same thought. Alger had a dark expression as he stared at her.

"I didn't cast my magic quick enough."

"Indeed. If you fired your magic sooner, then you could have protected them. You tend to overthink when you do it." Alger shook his head as he said this.

"...I understand." Carolyn took a deep sigh. However, what came next was when he patted her head. She looked up to see Alger smiling, "But everything else was perfect. You really are talented."

"Kya!" The girls squealed.

"Thanks."

"Alright, let's have a break now." Since the group had been fighting for so long, they could take a little break.

"Understood!"

Bleh. Carolyn looked down at the dried bread in her hand. This is nothing compared to the food that Keith always makes. He was going to say something about that.

"Carolyn, how are you feeling with the magic right now?" Alger questioned.

"I'm doing good. I'm able to use 3 swords now." Carolyn was taught a spell; starlight sword. It created a sword out of star magic. That sword was able to slash through everything. By doing so, it was incredible.

"I have never seen people learn so quickly." Learning spells took a lot of work. For her to get a grasp on it showed how talented she is.

"I learned from someone." Thank goodness I listened to him. Keith had given her some tips on how to use magic. With that as a foundation, learning was smoother.
