Twisted Fate of the Knight

Date turns into Meet and Greet

"Sorry, Avy but I will side lady Miary since I agree with her," she said while saying sorry that's why I can no longer argue with the two of them because they are two vs. me.

"It's okay, no need to say sorry," I said while acting to be okay even though it's not.

"By the way, Avy. Do you want to cut your hair and d-- er-- because you might be mistaken for a woman instead of Sofie," she said since Sofie didn't know that I dyed my hair. 

"Ah, yes but I can cut my hair tomorrow since it's my day-off," I said while holding my hair while feeling the length.

"Okay, then you can go with Sofie," she said to me, and then she turned to Sofie. "You can take your day-off tomorrow, Sofie," she said to Sofie so Sofie was surprised when she said that. Sofie and I still looked at each other because there was no choice since she said that it's our time to have bonding as a couple while I almost want to vomit what she said that. Sofie just nodded to Lady Miary and I couldn't explain what's on my face because I do not know if I will be happy or not.

After that talk, we go back to our respective rooms and take a rest from the long travel from the palace. Especially me, since I got into the sparring earlier that's why I'm so tired. I sleep as soon as I landed on my bed.

~~

I don't have any energy and I feel my face is a mess right now or in short, I look like a zombie. By the way, we are in the town and looking for a salon or barbershop for me to cut my hair. I didn't get enough sleep since Lady Miary did not stop knocking on my door early in the morning and when I said early in the morning means the sun is still nowhere to be seen. She even barges in my room with the butler who has the spare key to my room since I didn't bother to open it that's why I lack sleep and my mana has not fully recovered.

I am with Sofie now since Lady Miary insists that I would take Sofie with me so we both had no choice but to follow. Lady Miary woke up early because she had arranged for Sofie and lent her clothes so I wonder why she even woke me up early and her reason is that she just felt like I should be waking up, so I was even more annoyed with her earlier. She even bid goodbye a while ago and said to enjoy our so-called- 'date' That's why I told Sofie that she can go where ever she wants to go after I get my haircut and we will just meet in our carriage in the afternoon since it is almost afternoon.

After I got my haircut I went to the library I went to before where I read the book, hoping I can see the book again. As I look through the books I can see something glowing in the dark area so immediately when I went to that area but then the light is nowhere to be seen so I look on the shelves but I can't see it.

I tried to look again but still no light again so I look for another book that I will read in the meantime since I have 5 hours before we will go back. A book picks my interest but I can't reach it since it was quite on the high side that's why I was trying to reach it when someone suddenly took it from behind me. I looked back and saw a man and he is smiling at me as he gave me the book that I was reaching it a while ago.

"Here, it is a rare book." He commented as he handed me the book. He has black hair, ruby-colored eyes, and a mole in his right eyes which makes him more even attractive. His eyes were so beautiful and I didn't think I can see them actually with my own eye.

"Ah, thank you," I said as I get up the book and he was really as tall as Ian, Crown Prince, and Ronan. I can say they almost have the same height and I can say that I was only at their shoulder level.

"No problem," he said as he walks away from me. 

Wait, I think I've heard that voice somewhere but I can't remember where so I just shrug my shoulder. I looked at the book that he handed me and I blushed immediately when I saw the title, you know what is this book? It was an erotic one!? He has the guts to say it's rare?! when it's totally rare but not the rare one that I want. I almost threw the book because it was not what I wanted to take so I just returned it to the shelves and moved. 

I told myself that I will give a punch on his face if I saw him even though I felt that it was a waste with his handsome face and he had a mole on his right eye that made him even more handsome. But still, I want to smack his face even for once since maybe his handsomeness will not be diminished. I was forced to leave there because I was annoyed and I just went out when I couldn't find him because I turned around in case I saw him there but nothing.

~~

"Your Highness, did you find what you are looking for?" His servant/attendee asks him as he goes out of the library.  

"No, but I found an interesting one and how many times did I tell you that call me Kil since I don't want to be exposed until the hunting." He said to his servant as he smiles gracefully as if it made his day. 

"What interesting one, Your High--Sir Kil?" 

"Do you remember the one we bumped into? In the Lantern Festival?" He said and his servant was thinking carefully.

"Oh, the man with the hood who is running?" he said while remembering what they had collided with.

"Yes, that one. I think he is the one that I saw in the library but I am not really sure if he is since that night I felt something strange. hmm," He said while holding his chin type thinking.

"What's strange, Sir Kil?" he asks again out of curiosity.

"It's nothing." He said as he laughed while remembering the scene where he handed the book that is erotic since he(Avy) didn't even look at the book when he handed him that's why he laughs at Avy's possible reaction but unfortunately, he can not see it. 

They go to the famous bakeshop to try their cakes since he has a sweet tooth. As soon as they entered, everyone looked at him since he was no longer wearing a hood. The whispers of the people there can be heard. They admired his good looks and asking if which house he is since he is not just a common person even though his clothes are simple but he himself is the real thing which means he is someone who is higher than that.

He ordered almost all of the menu while his servant nagging him.

"Your Highness, when will you inform them that you are already here." He said to Kil. He is talking to the Winter Kingdom and their country.

"Tomorrow. I'll enjoy roaming around since I can't go like this again once they know who I am." He said while enjoying eating.

"It's been a couple of days already your Highness since the Lantern Festival when we arrived earlier than we should be," he said to Kil while he is restless because of what he was looking for none other than Kil.

"Yes, yes. I'll write a letter and you can go to the Palace after this and inform them that I'll arrive tomorrow morning." He said to shut him down and was given something to eat.

"At las--"

"You?!!!!"

~~

"You?!!!!"I said to the man sitting at the far end when I looked for an empty table after I ordered. I approached him and I grabbed his collar so his companion stood up.

"Let go of him!" His companion said to me while the man on my hand was smiling at me while his hand was raised as if surrendering.

"What?!" I said then I let go of his collar and faced his companion and looked at him badly.

"It's okay," he said to his companion as he adjusted his collar.

"So, how's the book?" he asked me and my cheeks immediately warmed up and I think my whole face turned red because of that I grabbed his collar again.

"Yeah, it was very rare to the point that I want to smack your face," I told him but he was still smiling while looking at me as if he was enjoying it.

"You! Do you know who is he?!" his companion replied when I was about to punch.

"Yes, he is a p*****t handsome," I said

"He is the Pri--" he stopped when the man I was holding answered.  "Klin." he coldly called his companion so he could not continue what he was going to say and I looked at him and smiled again.

"Can you let go of me now?" he said while he was gradually removing my hand from his collar so I let go because there were already many people looking at us.

"Hey, what are you up to when you gave that to me?" I asked him while sitting in front of him since I was already sitting at their table so he would not escape me later when we came out here.

"I just help you get the book since you were struggling to get it," he said to me as he looked me up and down as if he was referring to my height, that's why I was annoyed there but I still smiled even though I tried to look normal. 

"Oh, I didn't want you to help me through but then I just said 'thank you' out of courtesy," I said as I ate my chocolate mousse cake to lessen my anger. "It's delicious!" I said because of the deliciousness of the cake.

"Well, then it was that book you are really getting it. Don't be shy, I won't tell anyone about your book reference," he says insisting that it is really what I want to take.

"Oh. Unfortunately, you can't tell that since it's not what I want to get it." I said to him while enduring him from me punching his face.

"Is that so? then I am very sorry but if it happens tha---" I shove his mouth with the cake I was eating to shut him up.

"No, and never, Mister p*****t," I told him.

"You dare to call his h---" he fell silent when Mr. p*****t looked at him.

"Don't you think calling me Mr. p*****t is a bit harsh?" he asks me after he swallowed the cake that I gave to him.

"Not a bit," I said uninterested as I scooped at my strawberry-chocolate parfait and eat it.

"That's cold, you know," he commented as he ate his caramel cake

"I know and thank you," I said while I was busy eating while the one with him had nothing to do and just ate.

"By the way, my name is Kil so stop calling me Mr. p*****t and you are?" he introduced himself to me while asking for a handshake.

"I am Avy, Mr. p*****t. Nice to meet you." I answered while drinking my parfait so I did not shake hands since I showed him that my hands are sticky from the parfait so he said it's okay. Although I really don't want to have a handshake that's why I intentionally touched the part that was filled with sweets.

"Quit with the pen name, Little Avy." He said that's why I looked at him badly when he called me.

"No," I answered him.

"Why?" 

"So, I will not forget what kind of person you are," I said while drinking water.

"Oh.*facepalm* I am not that kind of person so scratch that, okay?"

"Okay, Mr. p*****t," I said that's why he seems to have lost his strength because of my stubbornness in calling him since he deserves it for giving that book to me.

"You are really a stubborn one ha?" He said while smiling again as if he was already recovered from the depression a while ago.

"I'll take that as a compliment so thank you," I said while looking at him since I am done eating all that I've ordered.

"You really are something. I like you." He said so I look at him disgusted.

"p*****t, "I said

"Hey, I didn't mean anything for saying I like you," he explains to me.

"Well, I don't like you," I said
