Chapter 18: Lucky Lady - Gianna Measter ?
" Sorry, It's just that you are so beautiful. I couldn't control myself". Dian spoke taking his seat.
Gianna stiffened, her cheeks burning red. B-b-beautiful ! H-he just called me beautiful !. She thought. Her heart raced as she heard him.
" Hm? Why are you standing". Dian asked. " Please sit". He spoke as he signaled towards the chair beside him.
"T-thank you". Gianna spoke, taking the seat beside him. Her heart still racing fast, her eyes stealing glimpses of Dian.
" Please, consider it your home. Eat as much as you want, you are still weak." Dian spoke as he himself served her.
Gianna just nodded, everytime Dian come close to her for serving. Her eyes goes towards his lips and her nose sniffs automatically. T-they... were definitely sweet... And this smell..... Aaaahhh. What am I thinking.
Gianna shakes her head and starts eating. As she takes her first bite, she pauses. Different kind of tastes hits her taste buds.
Her eyes gets moist as she again feel what a real dinner tastes like.
" Hey, you okay ?" Dian asks ashe notices it. His eyes concerning, voice soft.
Gianna moves her swiftly and wipes off her moist eyes. " N-no, it's okay. Just a little bit overwhelmed by the taste ". She answers.
Dian smiles as he heards her.
Their dinner was quiet after that, just 'clinks' sound of their spoons and plates.

As dinner ended, Suzine's face brightened. A satisfied smile on her face. One hand on her stomach, other one on the table.
" So." Dian started. " You didn't tell me anything about you, besides your name and how did you got caught by them". He asked.
Gianna waited for a moment, then. " As you already know my name 'Gianna Measter'.". She spoke.
As these words spill out of her mouth, something stirred. Dian turns a little only to see buttler. What the– ! J didn't even knew he was here all along. But if something can make him stirr, then it's important.. Dian thought.
His attention back to Suzine, now more focused.
Seeing his attention back to her, Suzine continued. " I am from the 'Kingdom of Elves', their Third Princess exactly". She paused, her eyes looking towards Dian's face.
Waiting for a shock, surprise or anything... Because, Elves were a race that doesn't associates themselves in outside world too much.
They just lives in the forest quietly, some can be seen in kingdoms but either they are officers or left their kingdom and settled there.
And these are your normal folks/Elves.
As for their nobles and royals, they were entirely different. Only seen on big events like for a treaty or invitation form a king or people with huge amount of influence.
Seeing her looking towards him like that, Dian acted as if got surprised. Well... Only tried, he wasn't Good at acting.
But seeing a smile coming on her face. She bought it... He thought.
But his focus was somewhere else right now. A blue screen infront of him

Hm? She's a superior Mage and even that of 2nd stage. Dian thought as he went through her info. A frown coming to his face as he continued to read...
" Hey, what's with her title and that luch !" Dian asked in his mind as his eyes fell on her luch. "It's off the charts, 810 ! And that fated partner. Why is only question marks there ?" He askedna series of questions.
A sweet voice chiming in his mind. " Host, titles varies on each person's personality and their powers. She got that out of her personality". The system explained and continued.
" And as for her high luck, it was predetermined by fate and also because she was destined to be a 'Choosen one's' life partner". Her tone teasing as she spoke her last words.
" Hmm, okay. But why can't I see who her fated partner is ?" Dian asked. It will be easy to deal with them that way. He thought.
" Host". System spoke, getting Dian out of his thoughts. " You can't know who they are because fate is protecting them until you fullfill one condition".
Dian's mind raced as he heard her. " What is that condition". He asked, his tone serious because he knew if he wants to live happily. He needs to deal with those 'Choosen one's' first.
" You have to see them with your own eyes first, that way with your new 'Eyes Perception' skill fate wouldn't be able to hide them". System explained her tone serious this time.
Dian nodded, completely memorising her every word.
" Ermm, D– Lord Dian, you okay ?" A voice bring him out.
Infront of him, Gianna looked towards him with a worried look on her face. D-did my identity shocked him that much... ? Gianna thought.
" Yeah". Dian spoke his voice soft address in her worries. " Just didn't expect a elf princess to be our of her kingdom".
Gianna looked down, her hand clenching her on her lap. " I-i wanted to see..." She spoke.
" Hm? See what ?" Dian asked.
" To see how the outside world looked like but..." She paused for a second. " We didn't expected to get ambushed on our first day outside our kingdom ".
" In that ambush, I got separated from my escorts. Not knowing what to do, I searched and after some time found him in the jungle hunting beasts".
" Balios ". Dian spoke.
She nodded. " Desperate, I asked for help but I didn't knew what his real motives were. But seeing that he works for the Skyster's, I relaxed a little."
Dian's fist clenched as he heard her, seeing him Gianna shook her head. " It wasn't your fault, you saved me". Her voice firm with a soft smile.
Seeing Dian relaxing, Gianna continued.
