"Tata, I will do my best, thank you!"

Juliana said confidently.

As long as she could have something to eat, everything would be fine.

The last date went pretty smoothly, and as an Eighth-Tier Martial Artist, her daily training and energy consumption were intense, requiring her to intake a lot of energy.

Perhaps she really didn't have enough sugar intake right now, which was why she couldn't find her state, her mind was blank.

As Miss Tata said, all the dating tips were useful.

The morning sunlight draped like golden satin, generously spread over the wooden furniture of the café in the Ikelite North District.

The faint clinking of coffee cups, whispered conversations, and the gentle jazz melodies made the space incredibly leisurely.

Juliana silently watched through the large glass window, where the morning bustle had already gathered, tourists from all sides meeting and passing by on the road, while she just awaited Loren's appearance.

It wasn't long before a figure indeed appeared in her line of sight.

His appearance today was something she had never seen before, making her heart skip erratically once more.

Is this the Emperor of the Cerryti Empire?

Would he be willing to snatch her, this female knight, away and make her his wife?

Just thinking about it made her lower her head, not daring to look in the direction of the window and door anymore.

"Juliana, sorry, did I keep you waiting?"

Loren sat on the brown cloud-like leather sofa opposite Juliana, talking to her across the low table.

"No."

Juliana didn't dare to raise her head to meet Loren's gaze.

Today she was doing even worse than on their last date.

After she said this, she didn't know what else to say, and couldn't hold back any words.

"Juliana, you look just as beautiful today."

Loren said as the instructor had taught him.

Juliana seemed like she didn't want to talk much, so if he didn't speak, there would be an awkward silence. Thus, he should carry the conversation and say something lighthearted, preferably a compliment, to show that he had noticed her.

Today her hair was intricately braided, gently falling alongside her face, displaying a contrast to her usual heroic appearance on the battlefield, appearing more like a soft, artistic maiden.

He had only seen Juliana's casual side once; their previous interactions were almost entirely official or cooperative military actions.

"Re-Really..."

Juliana asked.

Just looking like such a young girl was enough to embarrass her, the solid knight commander.

"Yes, I swear to the Goddess of Destiny."

Loren made a gesture of prayer to the deity.

"N-no, there's no need to swear to the goddess, I'm a knight commander in Yarolan known as the tomboy who can't get married, I'm not as good-looking as you think."

Juliana started to babble on and on.

The look Miss Tata helped her with suited Tata but might not necessarily suit her; she had never been this much of a girly girl, and the only thing she might feel somewhat confident about was her seemingly proud figure, but it didn't match this style.

All she could do was pray for Miss Tata to quickly tell her what she should say.

[Talia: This is already your second date, just go straight to the point.]

Talia advised.

When she and Lanci had their second date in Huadu, their relationship advanced rapidly, and they quickly moved to eating together without much process.

"Let's order."

Juliana suddenly said calmly to Loren.

"Eh?"

Loren seemed to still be listening to the instructor's analysis through his earpiece and was caught off guard by Juliana's change in topic, leaving him unable to respond.

The instructor in his earpiece also stopped mid-sentence.

The instructor's brain seemed to buzz for a moment.

After analyzing for so long, the other side killed the topic in a second.

[Instructor: ...Let's order.]

"Huh?"

[Instructor: Let's order.]

It wasn't until the instructor had been silent for a while and repeated Juliana's request that Loren reacted.

The instructor's voice was filled with helplessness and relief.

There was a sense of giving up resistance.

Loren and Juliana chatted in the store.

Outside the window, a youthful figure walked by.

She stood puzzled outside the large glass window of Yelleville Pastry Shop.

"Eh, is Loren still out on a date with Almis today?"

Sigrid scratched her head.

Why did she see Loren on a date with Juliana from the Yarolan Kingdom at the Yelleville Pastry Shop?

...

8:11 am.

The Gold Bee Amusement Park was already officially open.

Even though it was just after eight in the morning, the Gold Bee Amusement Park was already in view, radiant under the dawn.

Colorful, dazzling psychedelic lights shot from every corner, weaving into nets of light that covered the entire amusement park.

Loren walked the VIP passageway with Florence.

Even though his brother had a special outfit today, his brother seemed to be in poor condition, so Loren was supporting Florence.

To unexpectedly see Florence looking more like he was ill, weakly held by the waist, unable to walk properly.

"Florence, are you okay?"

Loren looked at Florence with concern, hesitating whether to take Florence home.

To outsiders, they might look like a couple, but Loren knew clearly that Florence was a boy; they had known each other for years and had been through life and death on the battlefield, later living under the same roof for so long.

"No need, today I finally get to hang out with you. It's just an old injury flaring up; I'll be fine soon."

Florence shook his head quickly.

She mustered the courage to come this far, so she couldn't give up today's opportunity.
