When Lily woke up, she saw Ace still sleeping and kissed him on the cheek and stood up. She went into the kitchen and wanted to make breakfast for them but didn't know if Ace bought everything. She looked in the cupboards and the fridge and was pleasantly surprised to find food. She took out eggs, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, cucumber and carrots. She found a three-grain loaf of French bread lying in a bag on the kitchen table.
When she had put the eggs on the frying pan, she heard Ace say, "Good morning, Lily." and felt him hug her from behind and be kissed on the neck.
“I wanted to wait to wake you up until the food was done.” Lily said.
Ace helped set the table and when the food was ready, they sat down and started eating.
Ace looked at Lily and said, “You might as well move in here. You are already cooking for me.” and chuckled.
Lily pouted and said, "We're not a married couple."
"Do you want me to propose to you?" he asked seriously.
Lily had no plans to play with his feelings and he now knew her situation. She loved him but William had also helped her quite a bit. There was also Eco whom she hoped to see again.
"I don't have time to plan a wedding now." she answered honestly.
Ace was happy when he heard her answer because it meant she wasn't rejecting him and that was the most important thing.
"Okay. It’s all right." he said and continued eating.
When they had eaten, they said goodbye to each other, and Lily left with Pegasus. When she arrived, she saw Arba standing at the entrance which had glass windows on each side, and she wondered if he had been standing up since yesterday. When she went inside, she saw that everyone was sitting in the living room and when they saw her, they stood up.
"Come on, we have a festival to get to." she said, and they left immediately.
When they arrived in Sanszhin they flew towards Rosie's restaurant and when they landed outside the place, they saw Rosie and 3 girls coming out to them.
"Good thing you come so early." she said looking at Lily.
She told them that the festival was taking place downtown and that all the employees had already left. They flew off and 5 minutes later Lily saw a huge square that reminded her of a town square. Stalls and tents were set up all around and people were busy putting things in place in their own place. At the front there was a round white stage where there was a white statue of a dragon sitting on four legs and looking straight out.
Lily saw that there were different names on the stalls and knew that they represented the different guilds. They were led to a large area where there were tables and chairs and behind it was an open kitchen with long tables where there were a lot of women preparing food.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
They went to the kitchen, and all started helping to set the tables and set things up. Since Lily didn't have Cooking skills, she couldn't help cook, which annoyed her because she loved to cook. Behind the kitchen was a large lawn where Jun De and Pegasus had settled down.
As Lily set the table her eyes fell on the dragon statue and asked curiously, "Which dragon is that?"
"It’s Tiamat who is one of the dragon overlords." replied Dean who happened to be standing at the table to her left.
"Where does Tiamat live?" she asked.
"In the east in Sanszhin." replied the system.
Since her system could answer some things, it was possible to ask about her killing quest?
When she looked at it, she became irritated:
2. Kill 0/10,000 human Time limit: 2 days
"If I complete my killing quest faster will the number increase?" she asked curiously.
"Unfortunately, I cannot answer that as it is another system that takes care of it." replied the system.
So, it sounded to her ears that she had 2 systems that just worked together but in reality, had nothing to do with each other. The other system was the robot that gave her notifications that didn't speak to her. It was possibly the same system that Fergus and the others had. She wanted to know more about herself, and the only way was to visit her clan.
When she finished helping, she went around the back of the kitchen, which was a private area just for them. She changed into the maid dress and the white bunny ears and bunny hands. She sat down on a chair at a table and waited for the festival to start. Rosie came over with a pile of flyers to hand out to her clone who was also wearing maid clothes. She looked around and saw that Violet and the other girls had also changed into maid dresses but without bunny ears and hands.
"You just have to smile and attract customers and let the others hand out flyers." Rosie explained.
Lily nodded and looked around again, noticing that Fergus wasn't there, and Katniss and Dean were gone as well. They might have to help their guild kill dragons especially Fergus who was in the top 5 of Dancing Dragons.
An hour later Lily saw that it was starting to get packed with people and stood up knowing that the festival would start in a little while. Suddenly she heard loud war drums and stood up in excitement and looked towards the large square with the dragon statue which was to the right of their stall and saw that it was packed with people. On the stage there was a row of at least 50 people who looked out at the people. It was far away but she could make out a guy with blond hair who she recognized right away because of his shiny silver armor, and he was wearing a blue cloak. A silver sword with a gold hilt hung on his left hip. Suddenly he looked in her direction and his expression changed, and it looked like he was trying to keep the mask.
Suddenly an older man came on stage wearing black trousers, a long black shirt and a small cloak. He had a large gold chain with a gold dragon head around his neck.
He looked like a rich mayor from the Middle Ages. He raised both his hands in the air and the drums stopped immediately and there was silence.
“Welcome to the annual Dragon Hunt Festival.” he said out loud.
People cheered loudly when they heard him and there was silence again.
"The dragons spawn in 10 minutes and the top 5 guild that completes it in the fastest time will be rewarded with a mount for their guild.” explained the man.
"The system will count down in 30 seconds." he concluded.
After the 30 seconds, to her surprise, Lily heard her system count down:
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
The second it had said 1 William and the others ran off the stage and all blew a white whistle after which a lot of Heavenly Stallions emerged. They sat on them and flew off immediately. When they had all left, people started arguing with each other about who would take the other places because they knew that the Dancing Dragons would take 1st place. They began to disperse and went around to the stalls.
