They both went out of the academy area and walked towards the amusement park. Charlotte seemed very happy at this moment, it was because her plan to take Hastora on a date was successful. It could be seen from the wide smile on her face.
"Wow wow... she's so aggressive, isn't she?" said Zarafel in a slightly mischievous tone. "Aren't you attracted to her personality at this time?"
"No," he replied briefly. "She's just a pawn, I don't need to be attracted to her."
Hearing that sentence come out of Hastora's mouth, Zarafel, who was initially happy, now became very angry. He shouted and cursed Hastora loudly in his mind. It made Hastora feel disturbed.
"You bastard!" he shouted. "Try to be more sensitive to someone's feelings! You useless virgin demon lord!"
"Shut up, you pathetic creature," he said calmly, but it sounded angry. "I told you not to shout in my mind, you piece of trash, it's giving me a headache."
"It's your own fault, you jerk," he replied with a little annoyance. "Who told you to be so cold and heartless?"
Hastora seemed unwilling to argue with Zarafel any longer. In his opinion, Zarafel would definitely not give in even if he scolded him.
Hastora decided to ignore Zarafel, who kept chattering in his mind. He just kept quiet and followed Charlotte who was walking while holding his arm. While walking towards the amusement park, it seemed, people could be heard saying that they were very romantic. A cheerful and charming woman with a cold man, it was a perfect match.
Apparently, Charlotte had also realized that, instead of feeling ashamed, she was actually the opposite. She was currently very happy with the words of the people who saw them both.
"Hastora, why don't you even react even though you hear what people are saying when they see the two of you?" Zarafel asked curiously. "I mean, the words they say that you're romantic, don't you react to hearing that? You should feel happy or ashamed, right?"
"What's so great about their words that they have to make me react?" Hastora asked curiously. "They are just lowly creatures, they won't be able to make me react to those commonplace words."
Zarafel became even more annoyed after hearing those words come out of Hastora's mouth. His annoyance had reached its peak and could explode at any time. However, Zarafel tried to hold back his annoyance and decided not to be angry. He considered Hastora's words as if he had never said them. Besides, it was Hastora, the coldest person he had ever met in his entire life.
"Hastora, we're here!" Charlotte shouted, letting him know that they had arrived at the amusement park. "Let's go in."
"Okay," he replied briefly.
They both walked into the amusement park. The amusement park looked pretty spacious, and there were several rides that anyone who came there could ride. However, of all those rides, there was one game that caught Hastora's attention.
"Charlotte, my instincts tell me that ride is pretty fun," Hastora said with a flat face as if he wasn't too interested. However, his heart said that he was interested in the ride. "Let's ride that ride."
"You mean the Ferris wheel?" she said, telling him the name of the ride. "Okay, let's ride it if that's what you want."
Charlotte took Hastora's arm and pulled him towards the Ferris wheel. Her face showed that she was currently very happy. Apparently, Zarafel felt a little strange about Hastora being interested in the Ferris wheel. In his opinion, Hastora must be planning something.
"Why are you interested in the Ferris wheel? It's just a simple ride," Zarafel asked curiously.
"I don't know, I'm just following my instincts," he replied. He said that to cover up his real intention. Hastora was interested in the Ferris wheel, but he lied to Zarafel. Hastora thought that if he told him his real intentions, Zarafel would definitely laugh out loud. How could you not, have you ever seen the great demon lord who is known to be cold, calm, mature, and Machiavellian being interested in a Ferris wheel? It sounds very funny.
They had arrived at the ride. Charlotte took money from her pocket and paid to ride the ride with 1 gold coin. Of course, the person in charge was surprised by Charlotte giving a gold coin. The price to ride this Ferris wheel is only 5 silver coins, no more.
"Miss! This is too much!" shouted the officer. "The price to ride this ride is only 5 silver coins."
"It's okay, just take it," Charlotte said with a slight smile. "It's not too much."
The officer immediately fell silent at Charlotte's words. How could he not, she said that 1 gold coin was not a big amount. 1 silver coin itself is equivalent to 10 bronze coins, 1 gold coin is equivalent to 30 silver coins, and 1 platinum coin is equivalent to 50 gold coins. This shows that the gold coin is a large nominal.
The officer assumed that Charlotte was a high-class noble child. It could be seen from her appearance which looked elegant and charming even though she was wearing ordinary clothes.
"Well, then, I accept your kindness," said the officer respectfully. "Thank you, miss, and please ride this ride with your handsome boyfriend."
"Huh?" Charlotte said with a slight shock. "Boyfriend?"
Charlotte's face immediately turned red at the sound of that. But, she pretended not to hear the officer's words and immediately ran to ride the Ferris wheel while pulling Hastora's arm.
"Hehehe... boyfriend?" said Zarafel, trying to tease Hastora. "You're right, you two look like a couple."
"Yes, a couple in another sense," Hastora said without showing any change in expression.
"Ha? What do you mean?" Zarafel asked curiously.
"We do look like a couple, but from a chess perspective," he replied. "She's just a pawn I'm controlling, that's what I mean by a couple from a chess perspective."
Zarafel immediately felt strange and surprised by Hastora's thinking. How could a chess player who is controlling his pawn be called a couple?. He decided not to ask. In his opinion, even if he asked about it, Hastora would definitely say things that he couldn't understand.
"Hastora, the Ferris wheel is moving," Charlotte said with a wide smile.
"Right."
The Ferris wheel started moving, the view from above was beautiful. Hastora felt a little happy with this, even though it was all covered by his flat face.
"This is fun, isn't it?" Charlotte asked with a sweet smile.
"Not bad, " he replied briefly.
"So brief," Charlotte said, pressing Hastora's cheek with her index finger. "Try to give a more honest reaction? You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
Zarafel became very happy because Charlotte's behavior became a little more aggressive. He kept shouting excitedly in Hastora's mind.
"Aaaaa! She's become a little more aggressive," Zarafel said excitedly. "Hastora Hastora! Let's kiss her! This is a very suitable situation."
"No," he replied briefly.
"Come on, buddy! It looks like Charlotte is expecting it too, you see her now."
Hastora glanced at Charlotte. She currently looked very charming, she sat on the Ferris wheel with a flushed face. Plus her clothes made her body curves visible. It made her look very perfect. But, Hastora didn't seem interested in her charm, he just stared at her with his usual flat and cold expression, and didn't show any change in expression at all.
Zarafel seemed to no longer know how to make Hastora fall in love with the girl. Even though Charlotte had a very beautiful face, a good body, and a gentle nature, it wasn't enough to make Hastora fall in love. But, Zarafel hasn't given up on making Hastora fall in love with Charlotte. He did it all so that Hastora wouldn't be lonely and wouldn't be too attached to his revenge, he wanted Hastora to be someone who was a little more sensitive to other people's feelings and didn't play with their emotions.
15 minutes had passed since they rode the Ferris wheel, they both decided to get off the ride because it was dusk.
"Let's get off, Hastora," Charlotte invited, extending her hand.
"Yeah," he replied briefly.
They both got off the ride and walked out of the amusement park area. Hastora felt that today was a little fun, he felt that Charlotte could make him a little calmer while riding the Ferris wheel earlier. It was because Charlotte's nature didn't make Hastora feel uncomfortable, she also didn't ask much, Charlotte just sat and looked at the scenery from inside the window. It seemed, Charlotte actually knew that Hastora didn't like noisy and disturbing things, so she decided not to ask or be noisy while riding the Ferris wheel earlier.
Zarafel also seemed to know that Charlotte deliberately kept quiet and didn't ask many things. In his opinion, Charlotte's nature was very suitable for Hastora's cold and Machiavellian personality.
"So where do we want to go next?" Hastora asked curiously.
"But we promised to go to the restaurant?" Charlotte replied. "Then let's go to the best restaurant in the capital?"
"Okay, let's go."
