Conquering The Game's World

Malia Pier, East of the Academy City.

As the silver crescent moon hung suspended in the vast expanse of the night sky, it cast a soft glow over the tranquil night, painting the sky with its gentle light. The shimmering reflection of its slender curve danced upon the water's surface, mirroring the celestial ballet above. A cool breeze carried the scent of salt and brine, mingling with the crisp night air.

The rhythmic sound of waves whispered along the seashore, their fingers reaching out to touch the sands with each low tide. A symphony of the ocean played in harmony with the celestial display above, creating a serene and mesmerizing atmosphere.

Silhouettes of distant ships bobbed gently on the horizon, guided by the moon's ethereal glow. The shoreline, kissed by the foamy fingers of the retreating tides, became a canvas of intricate patterns written in the sand.

A witness to this beautiful romantic scenery, two figures stood near a seaside viewpoint facing each other.

The golden-haired boy had a calm expression on his face, but his fists were clenched, showing that he was restraining his anger. The silver-haired boy in front of him stared at him with confused eyes, wondering why he was called there.

As the silence prolonged between the two of them, Alex couldn't take it anymore and asked. "Why did you call me here, Prince Thomas?"

Thomas stared at Alex for a few seconds. Then, taking a deep breath to calm himself, he narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"Meeting for the first time, Alex Stain. I'm Thomas Aiverson. From your reaction, I guess I don't need to introduce myself."

"I know." Alex nodded. "However, I don't understand your purpose in calling me here. Especially this late at night."

As he said that, he also glanced around. The only people he could see around them were couples doing intimate things some distance away, which made him feel even more strange. Because he was standing in such a place alone with another guy.

Alicia and Luis, who were watching the video, looked at the two of them with interest.

"I wonder what Thomas is trying to do," Luis murmured.

"Hmm, isn't it obvious?" Alicia asked with a strange expression, as she drank the mana carbohydrate drink.

"Of course, I know. I just don't understand." Luis pondered. "Why would Thomas set their meeting place in that [Lovers' Point]? If I didn't know any better, seeing their current atmosphere, I would have thought that he was going to do a love confession."

"Pffft!" Alicia sprayed out the drink and started laughing out loud. "Haha!"

"If Rura knew about this, she would cheer for their successful love life for sure. Hehe~ Fufu~"

At the end of her sentence, Alicia showed an evil smile, which entranced Luis for a few moments. However, he was quick to snap out of it. As he picked up a tissue and helped Alicia wipe her mouth.

Alicia looked at him with her beautiful blue eyes, and sweetness filled her heart. She thought of something and asked, "Aren't you worried that by talking with each other they might clear out their misunderstandings and find out that you were behind all this?"

"I am not worried; they can never blame me." Luis smiled and gave her a confident answer.

"Why?" Alicia tilted her head.

"Because all I did was share some rumour that I heard, and rumours hold no guarantee over its accuracy. So, even if the rumour ended up being wrong, how am I at fault? After all, it was just a rumour." Luis explained with a shrug.

Alicia stared at him, then chuckled with a helpless smile. "I should have expected this."

"Okay, stop talking. We still must see what happened between them. Lily, continue playing."

At his command, the video started once again.

"I don't want to beat around the bush. So, I will be direct with you. Answer me truthfully." With a serious expression, Thomas asked. "Alex Stain, are you interested in Rura Wayne from your class?"

"!"

When Thomas saw Alex's expression of surprise. His face became dark, as he already understood everything.

"Why are you asking this?" Alex questioned back.

"You don't have to pretend in front of me. I already have my answer," Thomas said with gritted teeth. He glared at Alex in front of him. Thomas' fierce eyes said that he had already seen through him.

"I admit Rura is beautiful-"

"That's MISS Rura for you!" Thomas interrupted him with a glare.

Alex's face contorted in annoyance. Now he didn't even care if the person in front of him was a prince. He started talking without respect. "Well, Miss Rura is indeed beautiful and if I must be honest, I admit that I have some thoughts about her. But what does any of this have to do with you?"

Thomas' breathing became intense as anger surged inside him. He wondered if he should blast the head of the bastard in front of him. However, he didn't lose his reason yet. As he remembered Luis' warning that Alex had something to do with Sera Dennis. He clenched his fists tightly, as veins popped up in his arms.

"Of course, it has something to do with me! Rura is my future wife!"

After hearing his claims, instead of backing down. Alex questioned in doubt. "I am certain that Miss Rura is neither engaged nor she has any boyfriend. So, what is the basis of your claim?"

His words, full of suspicion, almost broke Thomas' defence.

"Nonsense! We are going to marry soon! Don't you dare try getting close to her!" Thomas warned with his eyes full of fierceness.

Alex's deep eyes stared at Thomas as he understood the situation.

"Ah, I see. You are just here to warn me not to get close to the girl you like. When the two of you are not even in any relationship."

As he uttered those words, he also shook his head and laughed. "Hehe!"

"Why are you laughing?"

"I just find it funny when I see a delusional guy like you."

"What did you say?!" Thomas' rage flared up.

"I said that I am going to pursue Rura and you can't do anything about it." With those arrogant words, Alex was about to turn around and leave.

"White Flames!"
