Chapter 518: Come here
When the couple got off the elevator, they attracted the attention of the guests and staff of the Royal Grand Hall Hotel.
The men looked at Arabel and looked at Idan with mild envy. While the women admired Idan in his image of Ignis and looked at Arabel with slight jealousy.
The couple themselves, not paying attention to others, left the hotel hand in hand. Their personal driver was busy and was currently running around the city.
Arabel has not yet received a message from Bera that Hailey is back.
Using a taxi service near the hotel, the couple went to the place Arabel had chosen.
Tonight, they decided not to use their wings and not to move stealthily. Only for this evening they became an ordinary mortal couple, temporarily discarding their Awakened abilities.
"Where are we going?" he asked Arabel.
"I won’t tell you, you’ll see for yourself soon," she replied with a smile.
Arabel moved closer to Idan and, snuggling, rested her head on his shoulder.
"You know, Dan, let’s complete the second chain task of the System as soon as possible," she whispered softly. "I’m starting to get annoyed by the need to constantly use disguises. Especially today, when we decided to spend time together. I’d like to see your real face instead."
"I agree," Idan replied, echoing Arabel’s opinion. Instead of the image of Elsa, he would like to see the real Arabel today. He would like to admire her long red hair and her mesmerizing azure eyes.
"Everything is more or less ready on my part. My mother already lives in our house," Idan reminded. "One of these days, I will reveal to her that I am alive and well, and finally solve the mystery of my father."
"What about you?" asked Idan, more concerned about Arabel’s family than his own.
"Don’t worry, Dan, I’ve already started acting," Arabel assured him, happily noting his concern for her.
"Oh, really?" — Idan was surprised, unaware that Arabel had already begun to implement her plans.
"Of course," she confirmed.
"I asked Leo to collect information about my parents, and he did a great job," Arabel admitted, not mentioning that in addition to information about her parents, she also asked Leo to collect information about another person. And when she remembered that, for a moment, a pinkish-purple gleam appeared in her eyes.
"Come here," Idan said, hugging Arabel and pulling her onto his lap, as he had done yesterday.
Arabel was caught off guard, but she didn’t resist. She was only embarrassed, straightened her clothes and took a quick glance at the front mirror, where she met the driver’s gaze. He quickly averted his eyes.
"Heh," — Arabel chuckled, then settled back comfortably and relaxed in Idan’s arms.
"Do you really like it when I sit on your lap?" she asked with a playful look.
"Which guy wouldn’t like that? Especially when it’s a beauty like you," Idan replied, hugging her tightly and inhaling her scent.
"And you? Do you like sitting on my lap?" — Idan asked a counter question.
"What a stupid question," Arabel replied. "If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t be sitting like this."
"Actually, I really like it," she confessed. "Especially considering that even after all this time, my Ice Valkyrie bloodline still stretches to your Alpha of Fire bloodline. And now this influence and feeling bring me some satisfaction."
"Especially when you’re hugging me so tightly," Arabel said, her face flushed.
She was right. Idan could also feel his hidden and inactive Alpha of Fire bloodline reaching out to the bloodline of the Ice Valkyrie Arabel. That was why it felt so good to hug her so tightly. It was such a pleasant feeling that Idan didn’t know how to describe it in words.
Idan couldn’t imagine how amazing this feeling would become if their relationship reached a new level.
"We’re here," the driver announced, stopping the car and glancing in the rearview mirror.
Idan and Arabel wanted to spend some more time together like this, but they knew that all good things tend to end. With a light sigh, they paid the fare and got out of the taxi.
After all, the evening was just beginning.
After getting out of the taxi, Idan and Arabel found themselves in a not very popular area of the capital, closer to the outskirts. Idan was amazed at what he saw. In front of them was a small restaurant with the romantic name "Moonlit Spoon". However, what struck Idan the most was the long queue waiting in front of the entrance.
"Is that what I think it is?" he asked.
"Yes," Arabel nodded, smiling, pulling him towards the end of the line.
"You were right. It turns out that we are not the only ones who know how to cook dishes of the new world. There is an Awakened One here who creates delicious dishes, and this restaurant belongs to him," Arabel shared.
"You wanted to appreciate the cuisine here, so I decided to come here and try what this Awakened One is cooking," she confessed.
"But how did you find this place?" asked Idan, but he immediately found the answer himself. "Did Leo help?"
"Yeah," Arabel nodded, and soon they were at the last place in the long line.
"Are you sure you want to spend the evening here?" asked Idan, looking around the long queue in front of them. "Do you want to spend our evening standing in line?"
Idan didn’t mind. If Arabel was in the mood for this, he was ready to stand here at least all night.
"Don’t worry about it," Arabel said enthusiastically. "According to Leo, the queue is moving fast."
Indeed, they soon noticed that the queue was moving forward.
"See?" Arabel said with a smile.
As they stood in line, everyone around them couldn’t take their eyes off them. Of the two of them, Arabel attracted the most attention.
Not everyone in this area of the city had good intentions.
Two suspicious men watching the queue from the window of a nearby building saw Arabel in the form of Elsa. They took out their smartphones, took a picture of her and sent it to one of the chats.
Soon, the entire chat started reacting actively, and all the participants started offering their prices.
Looking at this, the men’s eyes lit up, and a sinister smile appeared on their faces.
