6 - Bamboozled

Oh man he is a simp, an idiot madly in love I mean." I say, forgetting that us elves do not have that kind of lingo.

"Idiot?" Suddenly, the lady becomes kind of intense. I guess she is agreeing with me, so I continue

"I mean, I'm his roommate, we are supposed to have fun at this period of our life, but do know how many times he ruined the mood by moping about his non-existent girlfriend?"

"Non-existent?" The lady acts insulted "I mean, he is a nice boy, girls must be lining up for him, but since he is already in love with someone else, it is likely that he gently turned them all down right?"

"That is not what I mean, Aradon scared other women too much, they are afraid of going near him."

"Scared?"

I pull up my hood and speak in the lowest voice possible.

"My bow never misses."

"The Kingdom of Hafthor has a legacy that lasts for thousands of years, I am writing down the next part of the legacy, are you?"

"A ranger needs to be as silent as the wind."

"And that is what Aradon is like in public."

Silence.

The entire field was silent after my demonstration.

"Ah. I'm sorry, are you saying that is how he acts in his everyday life?" The lady asks

"Yeah. I don't know where he got the idea that that is manly from. Only in private does he break character. It is TERRIBLE, I feel second hand embarrassment from being his best friend seeing him acts that way in public. And the worst part of all is that he does this all for a girl who doesn't know who he is."

"She doesn't know who he is?" The lady continues to smile, however the intensity never lessens and I don't know why. Rolling with the flow, I continue.

"Yeah, I don't know what Aradon is even thinking. An elven ranger trainee is only a regular soldier in the army, there is no way you can impress the princess like that. OH, and did I tell you the girl he is crushing on is the princess? Man, he crushes on her hard."

"Oh they treat him like a regular soldier huh? And the princess too......... I SEE!"

"Why did you raise your voice?" I said, a bit scared. For some reason, I actually feel scared, it is something in my bone.

"Oh, it's nothing dearie, continue."

"Well, I suppose if he achieves great military achievement, there is a chance."

However, only the players and I know, even when becomes Aradon, the SAVIOR OF THE ELVEN RACE, the princess still ignores him. More like, she doesn't even know that he exists.

Princess Aelene is an adventurous princess. In the future, after the elven royal family falls during the Dark Elf invasion, Aradon came to rescue her and the military sent her to the human kingdom to preserve the royal elven bloodline. Then, the army under leadership of Aradon continues the fight for independence on Hafthor home soil, culminating in a destructive war with the Dark Elves that see the entirety of the Dark Elves army destroyed.

Meanwhile, after being sent to the human land, princess Aelene Lunari adopts their custom and ways, leading to her living the life of an adventurer, drifting from places to places.

Even during the Dark Elves invasion, with Aradon fighting to rescue the princess, the princess insisted on staying to fight her enemies. That is a very hard to deal with lady. I heard she has two cats.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

If the matter continues as it currently is, I think the cats will be her only companion in her old age.

Though there are jokes about princess Aelene Lunari preferring human....... If that happens.... and Aradon...... then I will........

Well, if that happens then fuck the human race I suppose.

"But as it is currently, we are at peace, it is not like war is breaking out at a moment notice for Aradon to achieve great military achievement." In fact, war is coming, and that boy is going to be the face of that era.

"It is horrible. He mopes everyday in our room." I finish my complain. After that, I point at the opposite direction of our camp to distract the people looking for Aradon.

"Oh by the way, our camp is that way." I point at the west part of the city. Our camp is on the East part of the city.

Heh. I'm just joking about selling Aradon out. These people looks important, it seems like bad news. Beside, their methods of transportation involves falling face first from the sky, they must be weirdos.

Heh. The first step of trickery is befuddling your target. Everything I said except one is the truth.

The lady's smile is still intense as always. With a wave of her hand, suddenly, purple hands manifested from thin air and grab the three figure on the ground.

"Thank you for being honest. It was nice to see such a honest boy in this age."

"Heh, it's nothing. It's my duty as Aradon's roommate after all. Are you going to see Aradon now."

"Yes, I am going to SEE Aradon now."

"Hah, may the goddess of the moon bless your path."

"May the Lunar goddess bless your path."

I slow my horse down to a stop as the woman flies away.

----------------------------------------

The first thing I did after coming back to camp is kicking the door of my room as loudly as possible.

"Honey, I'm home!

With souvenirs."

Aradon was sitting on his bed reading a book. If I'm not mistaken, the title is "The Quality of a Ranger."

Well, I need to find an opportunity too burn a book now. Aradon glances over at my direction.

"You are back early? Did you have fun?"

"Well, I have a LOT of fun, it's a shame the situation cut my vacation short."

"Yeah? What situation?"

"Oh man, you won't believe me even if I tell you. So I was on vacation with my one and only girl right? And then bam, crazy wizards falling from the sky. There were like 30 of them. I have to fight them all singledhandedly to impress my girls. "

"When did your one and only girl turns into multiple girls?"

"Sshh. I'm talking. Anyway, after I beat the leader of them with my cunning, the girls were all over me that I was worried for my chastity. So I decided to cut my vacation short to preserve the girls' modesty."

Aradon looks at me, slowly, his mouth moves upward, Aradon lets out a single laugh and then snorts.

"What?" I say, spreading my hands

Suddenly, the sound of explosion appears

We all run out and look westward.

In the western part of the city, a column of smoke rises up into the sky.

"What?"
