"  "Hey... You... r.... Excuse...!!!!"

Latte reaches out to grab him than hesitates 'Wait Kenneth hates people touching him! If I touch him he will tell me to die again.. Oh right there is another way!'

GRAB

"Excuse me your grace!!"

Kenneth turns around unamused than sees Latte, holding him with a.... Pair of kitchen tongs....??

"What is this?"

'What else but tongs to pick up the trash with. I didn't think I would use these for this, thanks earlier self for buying this.'

"I'm sorry your grace I just did it without thinking. But there is something I need to tell you. About us meeting I believe there is a misunderstanding that we need to correct...."

"That's a good method."

Kenneth says gently with a soft smile. "

"Darn I really thought she was being nice to me..."

Kenneth spoke reminiscing on the last memory of this event, granted a slightly distorted version of it.

"Technically she was being nice to you, minus you know, the trash statement she was following your boundaries..."

Esula said objecting the former statement Kenneth made.

"She's not wrong"

Rosaline added on...

Whilst everyone was talking in this matter Arwin was just sitting there in jealously unbeknownst to him what this feeling was.

" "This is quite to my liking."

"W-What"

'I almost forgot since he's usually so assertive with Ibelin. But this women-hating fool detests all kinds of physical contact with the opposite sex, I'm sure about that. I just wanted to treat him like a cockroach... But looks like he took this as me being respectful, haha' "

"See. She was not being nice."

Kenneth shouted. With Esula retorting her previous argument of following his boundaries. This time though the person lost in thought was Ibelin. 'Kenneth, a woman-hater? Really.. Kenneth. She must have gotten something wrong there right....' 

" "What did you want to talk about?"

"What?"

"Didn't you want to talk to me about something? Go on, I'm listening."

'Compared to how he was until now.. He's soft and sweet like pudding.' 

Another unappealing image of Kenneth appeared. "

"GOD PLEASE NO!!!!"

Kenneth yelled in agony. Wondering why it was always him. 'There are apparently two other male leads why am I the only one who is getting targeted??' Everyone giggled as Kenneth looked like he aged 50 years and was regretting every life decision that led him to this singular moment.

" "Um... your grace... I'm not a stalk... I mean, I didn't follow you here.. "

"I see. I believe you."

'Wow... This isn't a dream, is it? There are no words.. I'm so surprised..' Kenneth is shown walking away. As Latte imagines Kenneth's face as his eyes stare right through the screen's soul. 'There were no frown lines between his eyebrows, his forehead is so smooth.' "

"That is an...  interesting compliment"

Arwin pointed out not really knowing how to feel on Latte's previous compliment.

" "Wow... Re-Really?"

'His attitude changed too dramatically, his expression too, but.' Latte is shown gripping the tongs. ' "I see. I believe you." He's not Kenneth anymore?! I didn't think these tongs could accomplish something like that... It's a one silver holy sword.' She holds the tongs in a knightly uniform. 'I grabbed him using this instead of my hands. How does he take that as a gesture of respect?'

An example of Latte appeared in a field. 'I can't even compare them alright, let's do a simulation. First there's me. There's me and a cricket right. I hate crickets.' An innocent cricket appears on screen that did absolutely nothing to earn this level of disrespect. 'Ew, even their name is gross, but still alright, so there's.... a cricket. The cricket is jumping towards me. I can clearly sense the cricket jumping towards me at full speed.' The cricket is now jacked up and muscular. 'Then something suddenly grabs my leg.' Back to the innocent cricket gabbing onto Latte's leg. 'Terrified I turn around to see what is on my leg.' "It- IT IS...! A leaf... drifting in the wind, did the cricket hide on purpose to show respect? I am thankful to the cricket who jumped through the air..!" 'The cricket is so respectful, mindful and so gentle~!' "

"When she puts it like that it doesn't sound as good as I thought it out to be.."

Kenneth pointed out.

"I think she just dumbed it down so it was on her own level of understanding."

Ibelin pointed out unknowingly being rude. And with this statement she got a lot of glares from everyone, but no one really pointed it out. Arwin kind of zoned out thinking about this whole situation and trying to place his emotions. 

" 'These steel tongs are the symbol of respect. I think I understand why Kenneth Changed. My neck is safe for now even without Ibelin. Wow, what an advancement. Arwin and now Kenneth! Death is no longer after me! How lucky!!!!'

"Alright, now it's time to go eat at.."

Booke runs in

"Miss! Miss!" "

"Oh yeah she is going to that book meeting."

Esula says to no one in particular. Everyone oh's and nods at that, everyone else also seemingly forgetting about this. Rosaline starts to panic knowing her peace is soon to be disrupted. 

" "Huh? Booke? Why is he running over here?"

"I-I knew you would... be... here..."

Booke says blatantly being out of breath.

"Breathe, Booke..."

"The participants of the fan meeting will soon arrive!!!"

"WHAT? Already?"

"So miss Rose, I was thinking.. This is an anonymous fan meeting, so I think you'll need this."

"What is it?"

A strawberry blond wig appears in Booke's hands randomly.

"Here it is."

"A wig? And it's so soft how much did this cost?"

"10 gold."

"..Looks like you're earning a lot of money. Annoying."

"All thanks to you <3"

"It's not even getting tangled and it feels like silk... Ugh it's just a wig!"

Latte probably does the worst job of putting on the wig first try, her blond hair sticking out a lot. 

"How is it??!!"

"Stuffy.."

And so I got completely ready with Booke.. And arrived at the mansion where the fan meeting would be held.

"Hmm.."

"It's here miss!"

And in the neat and tidy fan meeting location...

"To be continued..."

Everyone was excited to see the next chapter as Rosaline was excited to see how long it took people to figure out that she was the one who ran and came up with the idea of the fan club meeting for the book.
