Chapter 130: Ate His Family To Poverty

As a little gift to himself, Julius decided to get some proper sleep in his dorm like a normal student. No more mats or hard stone floors for him. He had moved up in the world and had finally decided to sleep on an actual bed that was soft and plush.

Funnily enough, he didn’t sense his roommate Henry when he arrived. Which was weird considering it was past midnight at this point and from what Julius had observed in these past several weeks, his roommate was always in bed when Julius decided to drop by.

He didn’t pay it that much mind. He focused on getting himself nice and clean before jumping into the fluffy bed. Within a few moments, he was passed out face first in his pillows.

When he awoke, he felt the familiar presence of Drasil lying across his head. His face was still pressed into the pillowcase, but the life spirit had decided that the back of the skull made for a comfortable place to rest.

It was becoming a bit of a habit for the spirit to come out of his core to join Julius in his naps or when he was sleeping in bed. It was actually a little bit endearing.

However, it was time to get up for the day. So he gently removed Drasil from his head and got out of bed. The adorable green spirit gave a precious little whistle of frustration at the loss of his personal mattress. Julius tucked the tiny spirit into the collar of his uniform, keeping him in place through the use of mana.

It was later than he normally slept, so he wasn’t surprised to see that the rest of the group had arrived at breakfast before him.

“Look who’s the last one here,” Aubrey said the moment she saw him trudge to their table.

Julius placed down his tray at his usual spot next to Lily and Edgar, ignoring her.

“You know you make a good point,” Derek said to Aubrey before turning to look at Julius. “I don’t think you have ever gotten here this late.”

“Yeah, did our resident golem sleep in or something?” Aubrey teased.

“I thought it was my celebration today? Shouldn’t you be treating me nicer?” He responded to her.

“That’s not until later. For now, you are fair game,” Aubrey reasoned.

“I’m not sure that’s how it works,” Julius argued with a frown.

Aubrey had a wide smile in comparison. “I wouldn’t know. I just made that up,” she said proudly.

Julius just groaned and ignored the girl by eating his breakfast.

“So what time are we thinking about leaving?” Kyle asked.

“I was thinking pretty soon after breakfast. We have all day, so we might as well use it,” Lily said to everyone.

“Do we even have specific plans? I know we are going to the Golden Wheel for dinner but other than that did we talk about doing anything else?” Edgar asked her.

Lily had a small grin on her face. “I do have something in mind before dinner, but anything before that is up to the group. We can just roam around checking out shops and stalls until then.”

“What’s before dinner?” Aubrey asked.

Lily wagged her finger at the other girl. “It’s a secret.”

“Screw secrets. What is it?” Aubrey demanded.

Lily shook her head firmly. “I’m not telling you.”

“Why not? Is it something we will hate? Like that time you took us to that awful play?” Aubrey asked with a scrunched-up nose as if remembering something very unpleasant.

“It was not that bad!” Lily defended.

“Yeah, no offense Lily, but that play was pretty bad,” Derek agreed with Aubrey.

“You guys just have no taste in the finer aspects of the theatrical arts,” Lily argued.

“If that was the finer aspects of theater then I shiver at what you would consider bad,” Aubrey said while fake trembling.

“Shut up,” Lily said morosely with her head down.

Edgar turned and gave Aubrey a stern look. “See what you did now? You have gone and upset her.”

Julius watched as Lily perk up a little bit as she heard Edgar defend her.

“How are we supposed to get her to tell us what we are doing? For all we know it is another terrible play we have to be subjected to for several hours. I almost tore off my face by the halfway point of that last one she brought us to,” Edgar said while grabbing his face with both hands as if vividly remembering the experience.

Julius watched Lily’s face just as quickly go back to being depressed after she heard Edgar’s words.

Derek intervened before Lily dug herself a small hole to bury herself in. “Okay, enough teasing. I for one still want to know what we are doing. What did you have planned Lily?”

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

She looked up from she had shoved her head into her arms with an affronted look. “You think I am going to tell you now? I wish that I was taking you to another ‘awful’ play just so you guys can suffer through it.”

“Now that’s just mean,” Aubrey said under her breath.

“What was that?” Lily asked aggressively no longer sad but more angry. And angry Lily is not a Lily you want to mess with.

“Nothing,” Aubrey quickly stated. She also knew what that tone meant and knew better than to say anything else.
