Lost in the Path of Fate

Chapter 71 - Winged Creature

"Have you seen the young master?" Asher inquired as they all were standing in the area where the rations would arrive.

The mayor lowered his head and lightly shook it as a response.

"I haven't, your highness."

The prince nodded his head in acknowledgement and roamed his eyes around the place.

People of the outskirts were all gathered here right now and the evidence of poverty lingering on their lives for a long time can be seen.

Some were shivering in the cold but they decided it would be best to come out here and get some rations that would support them for the time being throughout winter.

Sighing, he turned his head back and waited for the carriages that carried the rations for people.

"Should I order some of my people to look for the young master, your highness?" The mayor asked after seeing the prince's obvious disappointment.

"No."

Asher did want to see Pier. However, he could not face him after everything that happened last night.

The kiss kept on replaying on his head and not just that, the way Pier affectionately called out the name of another person which wasn't his also did its part to make himself feel worse.

Pier already had someone he desires but Asher still kissed him.

He was ashamed of himself but he was also devastated.

He could not fully grasp the idea of Pier being someone else and that's what making him insane.

"I will look for him after the distribution of the rations." He spoke and the mayor nodded his head in response.

Asher also understood why Pier did not show up at the distribution.

Aside from the possibility that Pier did not want to partake in giving out the rations, he had already fulfilled his part and responsibility as the successor of the House of Masters.

Within a single day, Pier was able to capture the hearts of the people from the outskirts by slaying the monsters at the shore and at the same time, he had already gained a good business transaction with the same group.

The name of the House of Masters was resonating throughout the entire Eastern District in the speed of light and was becoming more and more recognized.

The young master who gave people immediate assistance as soon as he arrived.

The young master who did not hesitate to do business with them.

The young master who came from the House of Masters.

Pier was becoming a continental sensation and it was adding to the inferiority Asher had.

He was not frustrated because Pier was now levels above him but he was frustrated with himself because he could not keep up.

At this point, he thought only emperors and heroes deserve to be with Pier.

'He's moving too fast.' Asher was amazed with how Pier was able to do so many things in just a very short span of time.

"The young master..." Trevor who stood beside him trailed off and Asher turned to look at the young noble.

There was a look of admiration in his face and Asher was curious as to what he thought.

"He's amazing. Isn't he, your highness?" Trevor asked while looking at him and Asher paused for a second.
