Chapter 6

Lin Chung pov.
"For the next round, we will be focusing on your table manners. The winner of the last round shall eat with the princess.", The cat king announced as the cat princess walked up to me. "I hope you do not mind.", The princess said to me. "Not at all. It will be an honor to dine with you, your highness.", I told her.

Soon the cat kings servants set up tables and chairs for us, along with cups of tea. As we sat down, I glance over and see High Roller sitting with one of the cat king's servants, not seeming too happy about his current arrangement. "Uh, Lin Chung was it?", I heard the princess ask as I look over at her. "I wanted to thank you for the beautiful photo that you drew for me. You are a very talented artist.", the princess said to me. "Thank you, that is very kind of you to say.", I told her. "Though I have to ask, why didn't you draw my headpiece?", the princess asked me.

"Oh, well, I couldn't help but notice that you seemed rather uncomfortable while wearing it. So I thought that you would appreciate a photo without it.", I explained as the princess blushed a bit. "Well, thank you for noticing. You certainly do have an eye for detail.", The princess said. "Thank you. I feel a bit bad for just calling you princess, is there something else I can call you?", I asked her. "I'm afraid not. Everyone just calls me princess. I don't really have a name.", The princess explained. "Well, who's stopping you from coming up with a name for yourself?", I asked her as she went silent for a moment.

"W-well, there is one name that I came up with for myself.", The princess said. "And, what is it?", I asked. "Um, I thought Nina Ketura would be a good name for me.", The princess explained. "I think Nina Ketura is a beautiful name.", I said, causing her to blush. "Th-thank you.", Nina said as she moved a piece of hair out of her face before she took a sip of her tea.

"Uh, one more question. Is there a chance that we've met before?", I asked as she choked a bit on her tea. "Um, I-I don't think so. Why do you ask?", Nina asked as she wiped her mouth with her napkin. "Well, you just seem familiar, is all.", I explained. "W-well, I guess I must have one of those faces is all.", Nina said as the cat servants brought out two bowls of fried rice for us. I was going to question her but decided against it as we started eating.

Nina pov.
I let out a small sigh of relief before I started eating. That was close; hopefully, he doesn't know who I really am. Things are going so well right that she doesn't want to end up ruining everything.

High Roller pov.
I glanced back at Lin Chung and the princess. This wasn't fair! How come Lin Chung got to eat with the princess while he had to eat with one of the cat king's servants? Luckily I didn't show my displeasure as I ate. But little do they know, I have a little trick up my sleeve. I just need to wait for the right time...
