It took me about 2 minutes to get dressed. Once I was fully dressed and showered, I started to walk out of the bathroom. The clothes I was wearing at this moment, if I had to describe them to you, would be royal. The clothes were not at all tight on me, if they told me they were custom-made, I would surely believe it.
"Oh, the clothes look perfect on you"
Asia said with a smile on her face.
"Umm... is it okay if I wear these clothes?"
I asked doubtfully. These clothes looked a bit expensive and didn't seem like something a commoner could wear, even if he was rich.
"Oh, you don't have to worry. These clothes were tailor-made for you"
Asia said, walking to the door.
"Well, since we are both ready, we can go now"
Asia said. I was confused by her words. I really didn't remember being invited to go anywhere in the castle.
(First, I was brought to her room, and now we are going somewhere else? Not to mention that I haven't even eaten yet, to be honest, I am starving)
I thought as I looked at her.
"Umm... forgive me for my rudeness, but could I know where we are going?"
I asked with doubt in my eyes. Hearing my words, Asia looked at me with a smile and said.
"Why, of course, we are going to the dining room. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
By the time she said this, I was even more confused.
(Am I going to eat with the royal family? Why? Do they still want to ask me something about the plan?)
With this thought in mind, I saw no reason to refuse Asia's invitation, or rather.
(Can't I refuse, can I?)
With this thought, my fate was already practically sealed.

"I gratefully accept your invitation, Princess Asia"
I said respectfully with a smile.
"Well, didn't I tell you to call me Asia?"
Asia said, chewing her cheek.
"Hahaha, sorry about that. I promise I will remember your request from now on"
I said with a smile, after that, Asia and I left the room and started heading towards the dining room. We were being guided by two maids who were standing outside Asia's bedroom door. In a few minutes of walking, we arrived at the dining room. A huge door was in front of us, giving a majestic air to the place. The two maids moved to the door, and soon the door began to open. As soon as the door opened, it seemed that a whole new world appeared in front of me. The place was fully decorated, and most of it was done in white.
I was so amazed looking around that I didn't notice the people at the table looking at me. Noticing all the looks coming my way, I looked over to the table and saw the entire royal family sitting, staring at me. Aria was also among them. Faced with this situation, I really didn't know where to look or what to do. I felt like a bumpkin going to Tokyo for the first time. As I was locked in place, a voice coming from my side saved me.
"Come on Ren, let's sit down”
Asia said beside me. Following her words, I sat down at the table where we would have dinner. Although I don't know the reason why, for some reason, I ended up sitting next to Emi. It's not like I sat here on purpose; Asia just led me here, so I couldn't refuse to sit here since it would be awkward.
"Alright, now that we are all here, let's eat"
Said the king. As soon as the king said this, everyone started to eat in a silent and noble way. I was not bothered by this since, in my past life, I already used a fork and knife to eat, so at least I know I won't be embarrassed. Seeing everyone eating, I turned to the dining table, and soon my appetite rose to the maximum level. The table was filled with food, and the smell was whetting my appetite.
In seconds, a plate containing some of everything on the table was placed in front of me. When I looked to the side, I saw a waitress bowing as she walked towards her seat. With that, I too began to eat without forgetting my table manners. The food was simply delicious; it was clearly different from the food that was normally served in the inns, but even so, it was still somewhat inferior to the food of my old world.
"Is the food to your liking?"
Hearing a voice coming from my side caught my attention. As soon as I turned my face to the side, I found Emi staring at me. As always, her face remained neutral, which made it hard to know what she was thinking.
"Ah, yes... this is for sure the best food I've had since I was born"
I said with a smile on my face.
(I'm not lying, it really is the best food since I was born into this world)
Hearing my words, Emi's face remained neutral.
"I see, I'm glad to hear that"
Emi said as she went back to eating her food again.
(Are you happy? I really can't tell)
I thought as I looked at her. As I turned my gaze forward, I noticed everyone looking at me with smiles on their faces, especially Asia. The way she was looking at me and Emi while smiling for some reason was making me a little uncomfortable.
"So, Ren"
Hearing my name, I lifted my head toward the voice and found the queen looking at me.
"Yes?"
I asked, confused.
"I would really like to know how you ended up falling in love with my daughter"
Said the queen as she looked at me with a smile.
