"It was amazing. So amazing I couldn't stop eating once I started. It was some of the best ones I have eaten in my life.

I thought it was made by some new chef on par with the maker of my favorite chocolates so I went to see sir head chef.

But then he praised how you were the one to give them all the methods and recipes for them and also that I should talk with you about these things.

The chocolate was so good.. especially that unique thing which seemed wafer-like from the inside.

Those candies were sweet too. And not to mention this amazing chocolate cake with such richness and a bit of a spicy tick. It's amazing~.

Anyway, I went to the head chef to ask if we could get the methods and recipes for these things, but he said to ask for things related to this from you.

I would really appreciate it if you do think about it. Just say the price you want and I will send someone to finalize things when I get back.

Being able to eat such precious things would be pretty wonderful~."

This was the second princess Isabella of this great empire, the gourmet who had eaten almost all types and kinds of chocolates commonly available in this empire.

This wasn't as much of a famous fact as her being a super genius elementalist and Arcane energy user, but few did know about this.

She was a half-elf, so it was natural that she would have a natural high affinity for Mana and natural powers, plus she had a great pedigree from being the child of the imperial family.

But, this gorgeous young lady before me sure was head over heels for the chocolaty things I specially prepared for her.

'The fish is caught on the hook. Now, let's pull it out~.'

"I'm honored princess likes it. And of course, it would be a greater honor to serve you with my lacking knowledge and abilities.

This is great, and as for the prices, mother had instructed me to not sell the recipes and methods directly. Instead, she suggested we sell the items individually.

She had already decided we do twelve golds per piece for everything so you can just send someone and we will sign the contract."

I gave her a calm, confident, 'pure' smile and the pretty girl with long hair nodded with a calm smile of her own.

"It's good then. You will have a big order from me, so I expect a quick delivery.

Have a nice time~."

She turned around while taking a bite from her cake and walked away without greeting Rein.

Prince Alph was invisible to all, but she noticed him, stopped, and told him to not disturb me much.

He just answered casually, and she walked back towards the chocolate fountain.

He was hiding his strengths, but he sure wasn't on bad terms with his siblings.

'Though it's rumored that his big sister loves him a little too much.'

The eldest princess and said to be some of the greatest artists who specialized in fine arts of painting, sculpting, and writing; princess Julietta.

'Also some of the most beautiful ladies of the continent.'

She was cool, nothing like his 'normal' little brother. She showed off her skills like it was her second nature and not just the continent, but the whole world praised the great arts of (Vangausten).

She was in the academy right now as a first-year student and the most likely candidate for the valedictorian position in her batch.

She was amazing, and so was her art.

It was amazing, but her brother, this guy, wasn't any less special.

[[ "So prince Alph.. you have a pretty special skill there." ]]

I finally resumed our conversation, so he looked back at me. The guy had a floating concentration as he was just looking around, lost in not-so-important thoughts.

[[ "Oh, right! Thanks, but it's a pinnacle skill. It is just natural that it would be amazing-" ]]

[[ "I'm not talking about Solodinel." ]]

I shook my head and glanced back to see if Rein was doing any better.

She wasn't saying anything for a while and only greeted the people with small nods, and a few words.

That was a natural behavior of lady Reinelle for them, but it wasn't anything normal for me.

She was far more talkative than anyone knew. Even our own families, if I have to say.

Our normal private talks were one thing, but as we had Celes's connection, she mostly talked about 'stuff' that was more private than our private talks.

Only the two of us, and Celes, knew them.. and Zoe too, but Rein was fine with her.

She knew Zoe was special and especially more special for me and someone too good at keeping secrets than anyone can think.

She was fine, but Rein's current silence was not.

But she was doing well when I checked those calm eyes and heart, so I turned back and looked at his confused expression.

[[ "Are you talking about the [Evolution trigger]?" ]]

[[ "Certainly. It's more of an amazing thing than the pinnacle skill. I don't think there are many higher spices and you could evolve into one at will, so it's naturally more fascinating than-" ]]

[[ "I should stop you there if you think that this one is some skill that lets me turn into a high human and then back to a normal one like some transformation skill.

It's not something like that but instead, a strangely unique skill that can only be used once.

It's weird but from what I can understand, it's similar to the evolution skill of energy beasts but different from them, I can decide when I want to evolve but that would be it.

As you know, I won't be able to turn back if I do that, and I have no plan to forsake this peace." ]]

[[ "Well, that's more realistic and useless then." ]]

[[ "...?! Lady Reinelle?! ]]

[[ "Why are you so surprised? Eon said I was listening, right? Anyway, continue your talk." ]]

[[ "I thought you were deeply thinking about that thing. What happened? Got the answer?" ]]

[[ "Shut up and finish this quickly or else I will die thinking what that thing is." ]]

[[ "Hehe. Keep thinking~." ]]

[[ "You sadistic bastard!" ]]

[[ "Ahum? Master Axion? Lady Reinelle?" ]]

[[ "Right. Wrong channel." ]]

We were talking in the joint channel, so Celes hurriedly changed it and Rein started a river of curses.

It was good that he didn't hear much or else he definitely would have fainted from hearing such stuff.

Anyway, his skill.. was just like I thought.

Not many humans possessed Solodinel in all the historical records that I knew. And those who possessed it were either blessed humans or ones with natural high strengths.

Alpheus was only stronger than lower knights, but that wasn't enough. As time passes and Solodinel expands the mind, gives new knowledge, and opens new truths, he will inevitably need a physique far stronger than the current one.

But if he really didn't want it, the skill won't install data that was greater than his capacity. And that would be a waste of a pinnacle skill like his.

Well, that was a decision that was up to him, but if he ever decides to use his evolution skill, he will become a higher species of human on par with wizards and witches.

But high humans weren't witches or wizards. They were just humans but the most superior ones who could use the actual unlimited potential of the human race.

From what I know, high humans are beings of high strength like dwarfs, could use the energy inside their bodies like orcs, were sensitive to nature like elves, and were the favorites of the higher beings.

They attracted the attention of those higher powers like an electromagnet.

He, too, will attract them if he evolves, and the attention of the whole world would also follow their gaze.

It was natural and something inevitable, but if he strongly tried, he will be fine. That pinnacle skill was amazing enough to follow the wish of its master as best as it can even at the cost of its own growth.

Well, it was up to him.. and again, it was inevitable, but if someone like him really was my friend, it would be pretty good.

[[ "I understand, your highness. It is still an amazing ability.

You're amazing, but I understand how it is to just be at peace.

If not for some inevitable things, I would have loved a quiet life with my family and close ones too but, maybe it's not entirely possible.

Still, I love my peace, and you can rest assured. You won't have to worry about the disturbance of yours.

It was nice greeting you like this and I do wish we can be friends.

We will be at the academy with you, so that would be a good time to play, too. But keep it a secret when you recognize us.

We will mostly be there for some fun, after all." ]]

He was surprised, but he understood what I said quickly and nodded with a smile.

[[ "I will still try as best as I can until then." ]]

He politely bowed and walked away with an intrigued smile and a calm, positive, emotion-filled heart.

He was an interesting person too, so I was looking forward to the future but that aside..

[[ "Alright Rein. On the terrace in three." ]]

[[ "Finally~!" ]]

She was excited. And that was her cute side.

The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0/v3l-B1n.

I smiled one last time while looking back at her and excused myself from the ocean of people who were interested in the chocolate things that the princess liked.

The start of the new chocolate business was good, and I was expecting that my expectations would be broken, so it was something I was excited to see.

There were people they can talk to about this thing aside from me, so there was no need for me to be here anymore.

The first day of the winter festival and the day of the grand annual auction were over for the two of us.

The day had been great from the start of the auction management, the demon, to this grand ball where we had our very first official dance.

It was long but fun and we enjoyed these things, but this was it..

I walked towards mom and she understood it was time for the two of us to take our leave from this ballroom, so when I reached there, she just said it was fine and that she can handle everything there.

She was awesome, and dad was here too, so she will be fine. So, I walked up and silently vanished from the ballroom.

Alpheus's stealth and natural presence hiding abilities were great, but Rein and I weren't anything less than him.

No one noticed as I vanished from the place and Rein also slid away from her acquaintances, used her shadow travel, and reached the terrace a while after me.

I was sitting on a chair before a candlelit table and when she appeared in this moonlit open area, her appearance was, as always, like a maiden.

She always looked more gorgeous under the moonlight, but today, she had a unique celestial beauty decorating her usual face.

It was strange, and I kept looking at her, at her pretty face, at those pretty pink eyes, her attractive clothes, that perfect body and soul, and lastly.. that smirk on her face.

"See? I won."
