1217 Words
Her loud scream alerted Ace, Cal, Tyron and Sylvia. The 4 of them run fast where the direction of the scream they heard.
But they are stop from their tracks, when they saw Lord Alfred facing the wall. They have felt the cold air in the hallway. Ace walk towards him and grab his right shoulder.
Ace: Brother what hap—
Alfred faced them and they all saw his pale face become red… there’s a shocked look on their face except Ace, he only frowned. Now they are curious and confused at the same time. They all start bombarded him with questions.
Tyron: My lord! Are you ok?
Sylvia: Lord Alfred, what happened to Aella???
Cal: Master what are you doing here?!
Ace: EHEM!!!
All of them suddenly zip their mouths. Ace continued his question.
Ace: Alfred, what happened here?
He trembled with full of guilt and embarrassment on his face.
Alfred: I’M A PERVERT!!! I ACCIDENTALLY SAW AELLA’S BBB—BO—
Ace: …… Bo-obs?
Alfred’s face become more red. Now he’s like an innocent kid who never saw women’s nude body.
Alfred: Nno-no!!! I mean “BODY!”
Ace: Brother… boobs is part of a women’s body…
He said it with a disappointment look on his face.
Suddenly, the door opened and they all saw Aella’s half face with cold eyes but flaming with full of fury. Describing Alfred’s face… he looks like a man who finally saw his biggest nightmare in his whole life… NO HE IS ALREADY FACING HIS DEATH!!!
Alfred’s throat tightens, he couldn’t feel the air travel through his lungs.
Cal, Tyron and Sylvia are intimidated by Aella’s aura. Ace signaled them to leave.
Ace holding back his laugh, he loves what he sees now. The thought of Aella will finally avoid and hate Alfred travel through his mind.
Alfred: I’M REALLY SORRY AELLA! BELIEVE ME I DIDN’T MEAN IT!!! LE-LET ME EXPLAIN OK?... I-I-I’VE KNOCKED ON YOUR DOOR MANY TIMES, BUT AFTER 5 MINUTES. I DIDN’T RECEIVE ANY ANSWER FROM YOU. I--I--I--I BECAME SO WORRIED THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPENED TO YOU! SO-O-OO I OPENED THE DOOR AND SUDDENLY I SAW YOU NAK—
Aella’s face softens and told him.
Aella: It’s ok if it’s only an accident.
Alfred: I promise I didn’t see it clearly!
Aella: well, good…
Suddenly she glared at him with a cold face and say.
Aella: But please I want you to not repeat this mistake NEVER EVER again…
Alfred: Yes Aella! I’m so sorry!!! I promise this won’t happen again!
Aella: Oh, you better be… just because you are my master doesn’t mean I can let this go…
Aella glared at him. Then she noticed that there’s a bunch of snacks on the floor.
She sighed and told him to come in… but her gaze fall to Ace’s direction who’s standing in his spot all this time.
Aella: Lord Ace, do you want to join us?
He second thought about it, but Alfred invited him too. He decided to join them, and he is planning how to ruin their relationship. Ace asked them.
Ace: What are you planning to do with the snacks?
Aella: Obviously, we will eat it… your highness.
Ace frowned and his eyes darken at Aella. The 3 of them sit on the floor.
Alfred: We are having a Sleepover, we are planning to invite Sylvia and Tyron actually.
Ace: For what is this “sleepover” thing?
He asked rudely.
Aella: It’s for friends to get know each other better, my lord.
Ace: I still couldn’t see anything special about it
Aella: Later my lord
She smiled at him and she excitedly say.
Aella: Shall we start?
Alfred: I’m sorry… how is this work again?
Aella: We can—
*knock! knock! knock!*
Aella stood up and she opened the door. She saw Sylvia with Cal and Tyron.
Sylvia: Aella! I’m so worried so I came back to accompany you sorry if—
Aella: It’s ok, well do you all want to join us or not?
The 3 of them peeked inside and their eyes popped out when they saw Lord Ace and Alfred. They have second thoughts about it, but when they saw Ace glare at them, they decided to join in. What Ace wanted is, the room to be more crowded, so he won’t be out of place between Alfred and Aella. They all sit in circle shape.
Aella: *ehem* as I were saying with the Lords a while ago, sleepover starts by playing indoor games. Do someone have a suggestion what indoor games shall we play?
No one speak, they are thinking about it. The real thing is Tyron has an idea but he doesn’t dare to suggest it because it might offend his master or Ace. Alfred as usual, can read Tyron’s face.
Alfred: Do you have any idea Tyron?
He looked at him and smile.
Tyron: Yes, I do… How about we play “Fate by crystal box”?
Sylvia: Ooh… That would be fun! I haven’t played it since I was in my hometown.
Cal’s face looks excited, Ace remained his poker face. Aella curiously asked.
Aella: How do we play “Fate by crystal box”?
Alfred explained.
Alfred: First we will place the crystal box in the center of our circle, then we will put our hand on the top of it. Then suddenly, it will give us color code, which will indicate who will be the one will give a question and the one who will answer it.
Aella: Is that it? What about the rules?
Ace: The rules are simple. First, “never lie” if you lie you will get a hard punishment by the box. Second, if you take a “pass”… you will be punished again but not extreme as the punishment if the player lied. Third, the question itself is based on how difficult or how easy it can be answered. The difficult they are, the reward would be good and vi-versa.
Aella: I see, that’s why everyone in here are so tensed and yet excited.
Tyron: Yes, by playing this game can reveal others deepest darkest secrets.
Sylvia stood up and rushed to get the crystal box, when she finally returned. One by one, they place their right hand on the top of the crystal box.
ACE- RED
TYRON- ORANGE
AELLA- YELLOW
SYLVIA- GREEN
ALFRED- BLUE
CAL- INDIGO
The box burst into different colors, then the crystal box turned into red. Ace’s hand glow into red, the light of the box straightened and point it towards Aella… Aella’s gaze fall to him, they have an eye contact. There’s a tension inside the room.
Aella: now what?
Ace: Ask me anything you want…
