Time has passed over the course of a few weeks, and Aries has fully embraced his role as an assistant to Kara.

Today, the shop is closed; however, he heard someone speaking to Kara after he woke up this morning.

He got up and walked outside to see who she was talking to, and he spotted three people. "Oh hello Aries come meet my friends." He walked over and listened as Kara introduced them.

"This is Celeste." Kara said, waving her hand toward the stunning woman with long red hair, an incredible figure that men would go to war for, and captivating eyes.

"This is Svend, their butler." The man was a muscular warrior who exuded an intimidating presence simply by being near him.

"And-" A gorgeous girl about the same age as Aries, emerged from the aisle.

"Mom I can't find the— "

Time seemed to stand still as both youths locked eyes. Although Aries was undeniably handsome, in this world, power reigns supreme, and most women naturally gravitate toward a man who can offer them protection.

COUGH- Celeste coughs while smiling at the two youths who are gazing at each other.

Kara continues, smiling, "And that little cutie over there is Ella."

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Aries." They all nod as they exchange introductions.

Kara nudges Aries. "How about you help Ella find her item?"

"Uhm, sure." Aries blushes as he walks over.

Kara looks over at the two still standing at the counter "Youth, am I right?"

Celeste giggles.

"Hey do you need help?" Aries asks Ella.

Ella glances over, blushes, and quickly looks away. "Yeah, I'm looking for fire pellet powder."

Aries glanced around. "Sure, just a moment." He walked over, reached for the top shelf, and grabbed the powder for her. However, he clumsily dropped it, causing it to roll toward her on the ground.

They both exclaimed, "I got it!" and accidentally bumped their heads together as they descended. Rubbing her head, she said "Ouch you dummy! I said I got it!"

He responded while holding his head "No, its your fault. I dropped it, so of course, I should be the one to pick it up."

"dummy"

"stupid"

"idiot"

They locked eyes, held their heads, and burst out laughing.

"You know, you're the first person to ever speak to me like that," she said.

He responded "What, like a normal person?" She nodded. "I'm a noble, so I'm used to people trying to suck up to me to earn points. That was.... refreshing." She said with a smile.

Aries stared in shock at her beautiful smile.

Celeste interrupted them and said "Seems like you two are having fun over here, huh?"

Ella picks up the fire pellet powder and hands it to her mother, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Celeste notices her blush and turns to Aries.

"Well young man, we will be back every few weeks to pick up some things. You can entertain her again next time." she said with a smile as she waved goodbye to Kara.

Aries walked past the counter and headed to his room, his face flushed with embarrassment. Kara noticed and continued to laugh.
