If his mum doesn't give him the gold coins, who would he turn to next? As said, his mum and dad were the only ones with gold coins in this family.

So the only person that would be remaining for him to turn to in this family if his mum doesn't give him the gold coins was his dad.

And if his mum doesn't give him the gold coins, was it his dad that would then give him? If only he could purchase the kind of expensive gifts needed for the seduction with copper coins, he would have no problem at all.

He had lots of copper coins with him enough to afford as many as possible. But copper coins wouldn't be able to do the job.

"So, that is your final decision, mum, you wouldn't be giving me some gold coins". Ryan said to Emily.

"Yes, I wouldn't. You don't need to prove anything to them". Emily uttered.

"Can I get at least one gold coin from you?". Ryan's voice resounded again.

"No, you can't".

Ryan's plan had failed completely now, what would he do next?...

And he had 11 days remaining to accomplish the quest of seducing and conquering Miss Amaya, time was counting. He was so disappointed, and it was evident on his face.

His mum was still noticing the disappointment on his face, and she didn't plan on doing anything about it so he wouldn't be disappointed anymore.

She didn't plan on changing her mind concerning the decision she made.

Ryan stood up from the chair he was sitting on and began walking out of her room with that disappointed expression still plastered on his face. He'd finished walking out of her room by now but was still standing close to it.

He wasn't only standing close to it, he was glancing at it as well. He didn't plan on entering the room again, but he couldn't bring himself to walk away due to how bad his mood had plummeted.

He was glancing at the door as thoughts were running through his mind here and there.

'What would I do next?'.

Yes, he kept asking himself this particular question but got no answer to it. He was just so confused...

As said, apart from his mum, his dad also had lots of gold coins. He could simply meet him and request for some gold coins...but the problem was, would he give him?

There was a very low chance he'd give him. If his mum didn't, then was it his dad that would give him? So that option of approaching his dad to request for some gold coins, he didn't plan on going there at all.

So what would he do next? Yes, this question was still hanging.

He was still standing close to his mum's room and glancing at the door when he began reminiscing about the past before he went into comma.

His mum does give him almost everything he requests for as far as it wasn't beyond her power. There were times when he'd be doubting his mum would adhere to a particular request but would still decide to ask her.

And to his greatest surprise, his mum would grant him the request without much persuading. But seems like things have changed now, his mum didn't grant what he requested for a few minutes ago though he formulated a nice lie which he told her.

'There are other wealthy families in this kingdom, lots of them. Should I approach one of them and request for some gold coins?'. Ryan thought to himself after he was done reminiscing.

And not too long after that thought ran through his mind, another one followed,

'No, that would be too shameless. I would only be bringing down my self-respect by doing that. And there's a very high chance the news would spread around whether I receive some gold coins from a particular family or I didn't'.

And the news spreading around would not only taint his name and make him look so shameless, his family's name would also be tainted.

'Isn't he from a wealthy family? Couldn't he ask his dad or mum if he needed some gold coins? Why did he resort to begging other wealthy families? So shameless'.

Yes, talks like this would most likely start spreading around if he dares approach other wealthy families to request for gold coins.

If he approaches a particular family, and they didn't grant his request. He'd begin approaching other families, and before he knows it, he'd have approached numerous wealthy families.

..It would be so shameless and disgraceful.

And this could trigger talks about the suicide note again and the fact that he went into comma for more than a year because he fell off a hill.

They'd start talking about his dad again...and Warren would end up going through what he went through back then again.

Ryan didn't want any of this, so he better stay off that plan.

What would he do next? Yes, this question was still hanging. With a bit of gloomy expression on his face, Ryan began heading toward his room...he was super confused.

******

At school the next day, Ryan wasn't just feeling good at all. He didn't listen to most of the teachings that took place in their classroom for that day.

The teachers were just talking and writing, but none of them were entering Ryan's ears. But the thing was that none of the teachers noticed that he wasn't listening.

If they noticed, they would have done something about it.

Now, we all know the reason why Ryan wasn't feeling good was because his mum didn't grant his request. She didn't give him the gold coins he requested for though he tried to convince her with a lie.

And he didn't know what next to do, he was so confused. He didn't know the next step to take, he was just stuck. As known, he didn't need the gold coins for a useless reason.

He needed them to accomplish a particular quest...and he had 10 days remaining to accomplish that quest.

'Why did one of Miss Amaya's likes have to be super expensive gifts?'. Ryan kept asking himself this question in his mind while he was in his classroom sitting in his seat.

And you know the worst part of it? The fact that Ryan wasn't feeling good 'cause his mum didn't grant his request wasn't enough, some students made hurtful remarks about him as well.

So the both of them combined worked together to make him feel awful.

Anger built up in him when some students in his classroom were making hurtful remarks about him. He got angry easily 'cause he was already feeling bad due to his failed plan.

Then these annoying students were making it worse by making hurtful remarks about him. Why today of all day? Why did they have to do this when he wasn't feeling good already?

All he wanted to do was attack the students making hurtful remarks about him when they were doing so, but he just controlled himself. He knew doing that would only make the situation worse and make him feel more awful.

You know, it was a case of off and on. Sometimes, those things happening to him at school would happen, sometimes, they wouldn't.

Sometimes, they'd happen, and it would be so terrible. Well, the one that happened today wasn't that terrible, it was only hurtful remarks...

Now, Dylan got to notice Ryan wasn't feeling good during the time they were at school, he was gloomy and so on. When they were heading toward the cafeteria during break hour, Ryan didn't talk to him that much.

Dylan asked why he was feeling down...but Ryan didn't respond. During the time they were together, Ryan kept contemplating if he should ask Dylan if he knew any way in which he could get gold coins.

Of course, he knew Dylan wouldn't have gold coins, neither would his family. He didn't even have lots of copper coins to talk of gold coins.

Gold coins weren't easy to possess, only the rich ones could possess them easily.

Dylan wasn't from a rich family, so there was no need to ask him if he had gold coins. All he was contemplating was if he should ask him if he knew any way in which he could get gold coins.

But after minutes of contemplation, he decided not to ask him. He shouldn't involve Dylan in this.

Dylan kept trying to know the reason why Ryan was feeling down by asking him, but to no avail. Ryan didn't tell him what he wanted to hear, this was what Ryan said to him a few times,

'You don't need to worry, I'd be fine'.

During the time they were still at the academy, Ryan set eyes on Miss Amaya more than once. And whenever he set eyes on her, this particular thought would run through his mind,

'Why did one of your likes have to be super expensive gifts?'.

..It had already gotten to closing hour by now, and Ryan and Dylan had already left the academy.
