"So you like me." Kitty looked into Erebus's eyes after his explanation, "But you were hesitating to tell me because you haven't marked anyone, yet."
Erebus pursed his lips and just nodded.
He chose to lie in the end.
He wanted to be together with Kitty, but it was unmoral for him to be with, to mark even, a teenager, and he just couldn't drag her into this mess.
"Who did you just invite here?" Kitty asked. It wasn't like Kitty was worried about breaking the rules and making Uranus furious again, but Uranus did JUST yell at Erebus for entering the forbidden place.And now he invited yet another soul here."Think, little kitten, think." Erebus leaned on the table, holding up his arms in front of his chest, smiling at Kitty like a mischief.Kitty frowned -- how was she supposed to know --?! Wait.
"The Queen is Allura's mom," Kitty asked Erebus after they separated ways from Allura leaving the roof top, "maybe the Queen will just forgive Allura if she chose to tell the truth.""Maybe." Erebus nodded, "Which is why I didn't ask her to help us.""I don't understand." Kitty shook her head."If I just ask Allura to betray the Queen, yes, Allura might just choose to tell the truth instead. She WILL get punished for holding back the gift for sure, but that won't be
What Uranus said was literally the process of her taking in prisoners as the warden, and nothing more. But how could she do that when Allura was well aware that Uranus took the two prisoners out before she could imprint them."When did you do it?" Allura asked with her voice shaking with anger."Before your highness arrived here." Uranus bowed and answered.Both Allura and Uranus knew it was a lie -- well, not totally, considering Uranus just did it last night, but it WAS before Allura arrived this morning."I guess Perses only meant that much to you, hua?" Allura said, shaking, "I gave you Erebus, and you couldn't even --"Anymore words from her about that matter, Allura would join Uranus here forever."Perses deserves whatever punishment he brought himself." Uranus bowed, "I have no intention to intervene in the King's decision.""I could have saved him for you." Allura said coldly, "But I don't think I will.""That's okay, t
It didn't take much time for them to return to the city this time.Erebus made a few calls on his way, and looked like they were made to Metis."They are not coming with us?" Kitty asked at some time."There are still stuff I need her to do here." Erebus shook his head and gave Kitty a faint smile, but Kitty could see the shred of concern in his eyes.She knew, he was worried about Metis."You are worried." Kitty said.Erebus glanced at her in surprise and turned back to look at the road. Hesitated for a while, he said: "I'm not THAT worried. She is an able young wolf, and I know she could handle herself...""But?" Kitty won't give up."But... I'm looking into Allura right now, and there is no tell what that woman is capable of." Erebus signed and told Kitty, "I suspect the new queen is behind all these, and I know Allura is very much on her side.""That makes sense." Kitty nodded. Considering Allura was the queen's olde
"I don't want a birthday party."Kitty walked fast on the pavement, trying to get some distance between her and the annoying wolf behind her."Why not?!" Charlie protested, having no trouble keeping up to her with his long legs."Just don't want it." Kitty frowned at the fact that she couldn't shake him off but she couldn't do much about it."You know your mom and my dad are good friends, right?" Charlie won't let it go, "It only makes sense if we corporate on this.""What is 'this'?" Kitty suddenly stopped and staring at him, which caught Charlie off guard."Well, you know," Charlie shrugged, "Casting out the evil queen, getting married and ruling the kingdom, that kind of stuff."Kitty was too angry that she burst into laughter at his words. She shook her head in silence and turned to get away from him again with three words:"You are crazy."Prince Charlie didn't follow up this time. He just stood there, watching her
"Ahh, there she is."A sharp yet low voice rose when Kitty enter the parlor on the fifty sixth floor.The Queen was everything Kitty had imagined with the help of all the fairy tales about the evil queens --The Queen wore a long, red gown with the tail so long that it paved the way the Queen took when she got into the room -- from the door to the seat all the way to the deepest of the room.Kitty didn't know how to answer to that exclaim."You did well." The Queen turned to Erebus with an august smile.Erebus bowed a bit without answering.Kitty frowned at that weird comment, taking a glance at Erebus.What did the Queen mean, 'you did good'? As if she gave Erebus some mission, which, based on what Kitty knew about the situation, was hard to even imagine."You are aware of the prophcy, I assume." The Queen fixed her scarlet red eyes on Kitty as she said.It was supposed to be a question, but her tone was just ste
"I guess you are having a birthday party after all."Kitty didn't even have to turn around to recognize the smirk in the voice rose behind her --Prince Charlie."Are you behind this?!" Kitty wheeled on him with a furious look."Wow, you think I have the power to order the Queen around just to make you have a birthday party?! I'm good, but not that good." Charlie held up his hands as a surrender.Erebus stood on the side, watching Charlie and Kitty without a word.Kitty squinted her eyes at Charlie with suspicion: "Then why are you so cocky about this?""Hey, that's so horrible a word!" Charlie protested with a grin, "I'm HAPPY, that you are getting a huge party, because you deserve the best.""Haha." Kitty said the word in sarcasm."I mean it --" Charlie frowned at that. Why was Kitty so against his "kindness"? If it was any other girls, they would be burst of happiness right now."You mean it?" Kitty said, "Do y
No matter how reluctant Kitty was, it seemed that the Party was gonna happen.Charlie had been the most active in the arranging, but Erebus was nowhere to be found. In fact, if it was possible, Kitty wanted to be out of the sight as well.She used to like sitting in the corner of the bar on the roof top with the whole city's view right at her left hand with a glass of wine in the other, but --"Hey, do you like rose or lily?""How about a huge seven level cake at exact mid night?""What do you think of the dish?"After too many detailed questions about a party that Kitty didn't want in the first place, she finally sat up and asked in the gentlest way that she was capable of: "I didn't know that princes do birthday party hosting.""It's okay, no need to feel guilty about it." Charlie said with a huge grin on his face. It was hard to tell whether he heard the sarcasm in her tone, "It's my pleasure."Kitty sighed and left for the
