"Hey, so what do we do next? I don't want to get caught by anyone." Kyra asked Greg as they were both hiding at a corner, near the shop of a food stuff seller. The shop was very large and big and lots of people visits the shop to buy their food stuffs in large quantity and small quantity.
Greg had been roaming around the market, going from shop to shop, stealing foods that are being displayed for sale. Once stolen, he hides it in a large box which was guarded by Kyra. He stole both cooked food and uncooked foods.
The cooked food are consumed quickly by him while the uncooked ones are taken to the large box. After the continuous stealing for over one hour, Greg finally find the food he stole to be enough for him to quench his hunger for the day. So he decided to call it a day, but as he got to where Kyra was hiding beside the large shop, he saw a large van going towards a direction, with the aroma of food coming out from it.
On the side of the Van, there is a description written down, saying that the Van is heading for the palace.
"For the preparation of the upcoming Enthronement, large amounts of food has been prepared to entertain all nominated candidates."
This was the text written on the van. Greg saw this but his mind had been taken away by the aromatic smell of the food he smelt.
His stomach started grumbling as the aroma reached his nose. He called for Kyra to follow him and Kyra who doesn't know what was happening, hurriedly followed him as they kept on chasing after the van.
The palace was close to the market, so the van didn't went too fast or far.
The two kids kept on chasing after the van but they were unable to proceed further because of the palace guards that were at the gate of the palace.
They had to stay under a tree to hide themselves from being seen by the guards and also to plan their next move.
"Gosh, that van is inside, arrrghh!" Greg shouted angrily.
"Wait, why are we chasing after the van. I thought you saw the Conqueror inside the van and she said that she is going to stop to take us along. Don't tell me that you are chasing after the van for nothing." Kyra asked.
"How would the Conqueror be in that kind of Van?" Greg replied.
"You know, she's nominated as a candidate to be elected for. So it makes sense for her to be in that van." Kyra argued.
"A food carrier van? How would the Conqueror be in that van without informing us? It really doesn't makes sense Kyra." Greg answered.
"Well then, explain to me why you were chasing after a food carrier van. Are you trying to steal the van??" Kyra said.
"Heck you don't even know how to guess right. Why would I chase after a van because I want to steal it. You are so dumb and funny." Greg scoffed.
Kyra was getting Impatient with Greg that she stood up from where she was seated under the tree, to face him.
"Then tell me why you why you were chasing after the van, you mother f*****g i***t!!" Kyra shouted.
Greg was shocked that he gulped before answering Kyra. He's never seen Kyra like this,.. well, it might be because they just met and they weren't that close unlike Roselle.
' She's getting mad over a statement I said. This is my ideal type of girl.' Greg said within himself. And before answering Kyra, he put on a funny smile on.
"I'm really sorry Kyra, I didn't mean to call you that." Greg said as he stood up from where he was seated. Being at the same height with Kyra. He held her two hands and he felt like he was touching an angel.
When he looked at the eyes of Kyra, it felt as if he was looking at the eyes of the goddess of beauty.
"Ohh, beauty. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to call you that. Would you mind if I hug you." Greg said as he started moving towards Kyra, with an anticipation of hugging her, but unexpectedly, he was woken up to reality by a thunderous slap from Kyra.
"Are you okay Greg?!" Kyra shouted and Greg quickly jerked backwards, regretting what he almost did.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know what I was thinking." Greg apologized. "And huh,.. I was chasing after the van because of the food it was carrying.. The aroma of the food is so strong that I can't control myself. What do I do now. Please let's go after that bus. Huh?"
"Ahh, so you were chasing after the van because you smelt the aroma of food coming from it. What if it has poison? How will you be able to deal with the side effects?" Kyra replied. "I don't think I will follow you into the palace Greg. I can't get caught up in the act." Kyra said, opposing the idea of entering the palace.
Greg was disheartened as Kyra said she won't be following him along But his stomach won't stop growling with hunger. Kyra proceeded back to the direction of the market and Greg followed meekly behind her like a lamb following his mother.
"Sorry, it's my stomach." Greg said as he noticed that Kyra was wondering where the sound was coming from.
His stomach growled the second time but Kyra focused on where she was going to as she kept on walking towards the market place.
Greg's stomach growled louder than before for the third time that Kyra freaked out in disgust and fear.
"What the hell is that?!" Kyra shouted
"it's my stomach." Greg replied.
"I know it is your stomach but how come it is so loud like that." Kyra asked.
"I've told you before, I'm so, so hungry and all what I've been eating it's not enough for me." Greg said as he held the hands of Kyra. "So could you please, let us go after that Food Van?" Greg asked, his eyes and that of Kyra's eye were at the same height with each other
