Chapter 86
1107 Words
We bid our goodbye and the staff that guided us from Miss Luna, is the one who also guided us outside.
I noticed that the Porcupine that is with Miss Dalia is nowhere to be found and she looks worried about it.
“I can order my Knight to find your Porcupine.” I offered but I got rejected.
“No need,” she shakes her head, “It’s my Porcupine, I’ll take responsibility for it.”
She orders one of her knights to go and find her Porcupine.
“Shall we?” she gestured that we ride the carriage.
I let her in first then I stopped when I saw someone…
He was wearing a mask that is hiding half of his face, he have a tall figure and have a white-silver hair, he move gracefully and the wind is like surrounding his beauty. Who is this guy?
“Alexein.” I snapped when Dalia called me.
She is already in the carriage.
Right…
“Sorry…I blacked out.” I excuse.
“Get on already.”
To not make Dalia more furious, I got on the carriage.
Ester POV.
“Go through there.” Rufus pointed to an opened window, is that’s where I’ll go inside?
“I’ll wait here,” he placed me in the palm of his hand. “I’ll throw you.”
What??
“Hey? If you are angry with me, we can talk this out.” I tried to make a reason for him not to throw me.
“I know you are a good person, don’t do this.” I begged.
“This is the only way you can get in, stay strong and don’t be a coward.”
After he said that, he throw me out towards the window and I flew up in the air other than that, I keep calling my mother to save me.
What if when I landed, my quills will stab me??
I scream at the top of my lungs.
I entered the Castle and landed on the ground, luckily, my quills didn't stab me or else I will pluck all my quills after this mission.
I stand up and followed what Rufus told me. To go to a broken door at the top of the castle.
They made it look broken but it’s just actually an appearance to fool someone.
I need to find the stairs and go up.
I am catching my breath and I’m not even halfway there!
These small legs! Why do I have small legs!?
I heard many footsteps walking towards me…I have to hide!
Where? Where?
Someone pick me up, “Hmm, what are you doing here?”
It’s Mio!
She pets me and holds me in her arms.
The footsteps that I heard passed by.
“Prince, look!”
It’s Dyster.
But I have no time, I want to thank her for saving me but I’ll do it later.
I jumped out in her arms and ran again.
“Wait!” she followed me!
“Don’t follow me!” I cried in my mind.
I tried to lose her but she is keen, she was able to catch up to me.
So I ran and ran, until I stopped.
I don’t hear her anymore, it must be that I lost her.
“Phew.” I relieved.
“Here you are.” I look up and Dyster found me.
Suddenly, I explode.
I look at my hand and found out that I am back to normal.
“I am back!” I scream out of excitement.
Dyster was quite shocked that she saw me.
He massage his temple, “Did my sister do that to you?” He questioned.
He seems to look like this happens all the time and always expected his sister the one who causes it.
“No…?” I replied. Of course, I’ll deny it because I can’t blame the princess and I am the reason why Dalia did this to me.
He sighed, “Don’t cover her up,” he took his cape off and cover it to me.
I didn’t realize that I am naked.
“I once experienced that.” He shivers while thinking about his past.
What did Dalia do to make his brother traumatized like this?
“Ugh,” he pick up some strands of my hair in my cheek, “She even do something on your hair, it turned silver!”
I suddenly panic and change my hair into blue, “Y-yeah…l-luckily, I can turn it back to normal.”
I almost got caught…my disguise wear off when I turn back to normal.
Fortunately, Dyster was thinking it was also Dalia’s doing.
“I knew something was off when I first saw you…” a voice was heard at the window.
He was standing there with a smirk on his face, the wind blows the strand of his red hair. He was tall and have a nice build, his beauty was no match to the Prince of Ao's Kingdom.
“Knight Commander…” I blurted.
What is he doing here? Just minutes ago, he was in the In’n…how come he came here so fast?
It took hours to get here from the In’n, but with Rufus’s situation that he is a demon…it was easy for him to come here and on the other hand, Knight Commander, a human, it took him minutes to be here.
“Alexein Aner…” Dyster speaks out.
Is this really how nobles react when they meet? They mention the person's whole name?
Alexein Aner, ha. So, that’s his name.
Alexein…Alexein…Alexein?
It’s somewhat familiar to me but in fairness! I can now easily remember names not like before that I cannot notice that I’m not even calling them with their names.
“What are you doing here, Alexein?”
Dyster hides me from his behind and he shielded me with his right hand.
Knight Commander giggled, “Why are you shielding her for? She’s not my type.”
I felt like a heavy anvil drop in my head because of what he said.
“You are not my type either.” I talked back.
He is indeed handsome but what the use of it if he can’t tell how beautiful I am.
It’s useless to him…tsk.
I shake my head in disbelief…
What a waste.
“I don’t like you.” He added, “You have a fat arm, unproportioned face, uncurved body, messy hair and untrimmed eyebrows.”
Every insult that he keeps on throwing at me is like a drop of an anvil in the head.
His mouth…I want to tear it off!
