"I can't possibly accept this! Part of the reason I came is because I haven't seen you for a long time! Don't get me wrong, I didn't come here to request any pills!" Zeke spoke as if he was turning the pills down, but he nevertheless took the pill swiftly and put it away.
Severin was a little amused to see Zeke's subpar acting. In any case, he still asked sternly, "Haha, I know you're not that kind of person. Now that you've made the trip here, you should stay around for a couple of days."
Zeke accepted the offer with a smile. "Of course! The opportunity to hang out doesn't come that often. Let's have a good drink tonight. There are another five days to go before the eldest prince's birthday, and we have to make our journey at least one or two days earlier. I might as well stay here for two or three days and set off with you! At least I'll have a companion!"
Severin nodded. "You're right. It's just a couple of days away, and I'd appreciate having the company."
Sheila asked eagerly, "Can I tag along, then?"
Diane then said with anticipation, "Oolong City is the largest and most prosperous city in the nation. I'd like to come with you and see the sights too!"
Zeke chuckled. "Sure! That won't be a problem, but you can't bring too many people along though. This invitation is only for five people, which is why I came here with only four others."
