[ Geez....What is he up to??! ]
Audrey was also confused and at the same time she was not sure how she would respond to this question.
If she said that she don't know him, will he left her off just like that???
But he have eye witnesses and she was sure enough that sooner or later, rumors about that incident will spread all over the palace courtyard.
Does it mean I don't have a choice but to expose myself and admit that I actually hit a prince???
"HUH! He sure was cornering me. In either way, I'm doomed. If I said that I don't know him before the crowd, and rumors spread. They will think that I'm guilty and I was trying to deny my affair with this young prince."
[ Yet if you tell him that you knew each other. You don't have a choice but to admit that you wronged him. After all, you cannot just put the a b
Afraid that his brother might misunderstood him, thinking that he already meet this girl beforehand without sharing it to him , he immediately replied. "O--of course not. I--I d-don't know her???? You don't know me do you??! " Prince Niccoli directed his gaze to Audrey and eyed her as if saying Don't you dare mess it up [I bet this prince really have a loose screw somewhere in his head???? What is he up to? I don't get him,,.. really!!! Can I give him a good beating? My paws are itching to give him a scratch or two.. HMMMM] Audrey slightly raised her eyebrow but she decided to go with the flow. " Of course this is my first time seeing young prince" she said with a sweet smile plastered on her face. "Very well. Let me introduce you both to each other. Brother, this beautiful lady over here, is Lady Audrey from the Lee Clan, and La
Audrey on the other hand acted like she didn't notice anything. She was about to excuse herself but Prince Niccoli spoke. "Ohh.. If I'm not mistaken that lady was Selene. Lady Audrey's cousin am I right???" he said while looking at Audrey. This young prince really did his assignment. He already done a good background checking and even memorize the name of Audrey's relatives. "No Mister. you're very very wrong" Audrey badly wanted to tell him that, but of course this whole shit of prince and royalties thing stopped her for acting nasty. "Yes my prince, she is indeed my cousin---" "--And how I wish I could tie you both together in a snarl" she added on her mind. Hearing her affirmation, Prince Niccoli walked towards where Selene was situated. Seeing that the prince was on his way walking towards her, Selene secretly cheered he
Among the fishes swimming in the same pond where that girl named Jade fall, Nero and Monami was happily playing.They looked so cute as they were dipping their paws on the shallow water trying to fish out the colorful Koi fishes.Nero was so good at fishing that in just one minute he already caught three Koi fishes in succession.[Ohh... How could you be so good at fishing?! You are so amazing! ]Monami exclaimed admiringly to Nero.[ HEHE... small thing..]Nero smiled but he looked like he was smiling from ear to ear, as he offered Monami the freshly caught fishes.[ This is all for you, take it] he offered.[That's too much for me. I'm on a diet. We can share.]Mo
Among one of the palace chamber, Selene was giggling happily as she were looking at the line of dresses displayed on her sight. Just like any other normal ladies, Selene love fancy stuffs and dresses. Although her grandfather doted her a lot, it was the same treatment that Audrey received so she was not satisfied at all. But seeing those beautiful dresses all for herself and to think that all of these was gifted to her by Prince Niccoli, Selene was grinning foolishly like a child who have just received a treat. She believed that she really outdone her cousin Audrey, this time. When the banquet was about to end, Prince Niccoli asked around where Selene was. When he found out that the lady was still at the chamber, he decided to go there to meet her. Finally reaching the door where Selene was, Prince Niccoli straightened his back and knocked at the
------When she was finally seated alone inside her carriage, she took out the clear flask and look at it again." Since Prince Niccoli intended to keep this present as a secret, Audrey will definitely have no idea about the existence of this gift. What should I do to you then????"Selene was sure in the good mood as she was looking at the glimmering gold liquid inside the clear flask. She was talking with the clear flask using a cooing voice as she cheered for her heartfelt victory over Audrey."HUH! You will never have a chance to get a taste of this CENTENNIAL ALE Audrey... NEVER!!!"She gulped the remaining content of the clear flask until its last drop. She drunk alone on their way home. When she was done, Selene was slightly feeling light headed already.Due to too much alcohol intake, Selene became tipsy as her
"Hmmp! What a waste!!! She had a beautiful face but her heart is so ugly.""Such a pompous lass. What a noble lady??? Whose prim and proper???? Did you see her last night""Exactly! She was definitely pretentious.""SSHHHH.. Be quiet. Look, she's waking up!"Selene was awoken by hushed discussion from small voices around her. Yet when she open her eyes, she was all alone inside her room.The glaring sunlight spilling from the small opening of her window brought throbbing pain to her head."Ahhrrrgg! I feel like someone is splitting my head into two..." she said to herself holding her head.Selene obviously was having a terrible hangover from last night. The bright room make her headache even harder to deal with."Shocks, it hurts!!!!"she exclaimed and she badly wanted to cry due to the discomfort
Finally, the celebration of the young prince 18th name day has come to an end. It has been very hectic and exhausting encounter for our main character.Audrey feels like there are lot of things that transpired during the banquet, and it makes her a bit edgy and embarrass at the same time.Especially whenever she tried to recall how her departure with Prince Nike ended up that night.Among the small bridge stand two silhouette of a man and a lady. Their figure was slightly illuminated by the bright light of the moon. The night sky was clear and the stars were shining bright above them.Prince Nike eyes never left Audrey's face. His eyes were burning with so much passion as he stare at her. It looks as if Prince Nike wanted to say something as he reached for Audrey's hand with trembling cold hands."Lady Audrey, I truly enjoy your company, I would be more than willing
"MEOW"[Hey sleepy head. How long are you planning to hole up in this room?]Audrey stirred on her bed as she extended her arms hidden beneath the soft layer of her blanket. She grab her tactful cat and pull it under the sheets as she wrestled it."J-A-N-U-Ssssssss.... It's so embarrassing! What to do?!!""MWARRR"[Little lass,... leave me alone!!!]Nero try hard to wriggle his way away from Audrey's arms.When the little black cat resurfaced from under the pile of blankets, its fur was ruffled.He licked it back to place and gaze back at the blanket with eyes full of annoyance."MEOW"[Geez Audrey! Quit that sullen act of yours, c'mon! It been a week since that happen... and besides it's not a crime to fart every now and then???!!]"Yah, have you tried fa
[Distract them for me.]“Was it not only right for Steffi to get to use to eye whenever she feels like it?? I mean, she is older than the two of you so naturally, she was supposed to have more authority above both of you, no?.”“Ehhh… She’ll be fine. I’m the youngest so they should let me wear it more.” (Meredith)“The kid is right. The eldest should have the eyeball. She is a genius” (Steffi)Steve, on the other hand, seemed to get what Audrey was trying to do, so he said something that would surely add fuel to the fire.“But what about the middle child? I am sure, Ariel wants to have her turn too.&rdqu
“Now, where are we? Right, cooking.”Steffi changed the topic on purpose, before turning to her sisters.“I need the eye to check if it's ready, who has it?”“It’s around here, somewhere,”Meredith replied as she started to rummage through a pile of disorganized drawers. She felt obliged to respond since she was the last one to use the Magus Eye. Unfortunately, she forgot where she left it.“The last time I saw it, you put it in the utensils compartment, Meredith” Steffi insinuated using a lazy tone so the other party rebutted,“Don’t use that tone with my name.”Ariel on the other hand joined in this time to inform them that the eye was nowhere to be seen.“It’s not there this time.”After a while of contemplation, Meredith’s face lit up as she recalled something.“Aha! Steffi always put it in the dish cabinet:”And just like that, she found where her sister was hiding it.Consequently, the group found it interesting to watch how the three sisters could be talkative without having t
“I agree with Ariel. Why don’t we invite them over? This way, we could continue our chat there whilst they take their much-needed rest.” This time, it was Meredith who spoke and she deliberately told her sisters this. Nonetheless, she has spoken the words loud enough to be heard by others. The students, on the other hand, were beyond ecstatic when they overhear the ongoing conversation. But decided that it would be best not to allow their emotion to show on their faces. At this point, Meredith turned to the group and greeted them with a bow. “Let me apologize on my sister’s behalf. The thing is, it has been a while since we had visitors. As such, we are no longer accustomed to receiving guests.” She insinuated before she slowly approached the bunch of bewildered youngsters; careful not to bump her toe as she felt her way through the darkness. Her blindness was made obvious by her action and it made her appear pitiful to any onlooker. Truth be told, the Grae’s current act of displ
“Seriously, when will they stop obsessing over Cercei?”Tsking in annoyance, Steffi stealthily moved her slender fingers next to the Magnus Eye with the full intention of taking it back from her younger sister’s possession.“These people were getting on my nerves!”She purposely added this to appeal to her sisters’ sentiment so that their minds could focus somewhere else and they would not notice it once she started hogging the magic eye all for herself again. Meanwhile, her plan worked, as it always did. Ariel readily agreed to her and with a voice full of despondency, she said,“That’s how the mage community works. They fear what they could not understand and so they are set on destroying anything that they cannot control.”Ariel finished with an exasperated sigh. Meredith, on the other hand, could not help but clenched her fist as she was reminded of their good friend’s plight. Then with her brows knitted together, she roared,“The gal did not deserve all this hatred.”Meanwhile, t
On the flip side, rewinding the clock a tad, just a few minutes before Audrey’s group discovered that they unknowingly fall under a spell, the Graes were already watching them. “The eye! Who has the eye?” Meredith, the youngest, shouted at the top of her lungs. Steffi, on the other hand, stepped away from the giant cauldron before answering. “Over here. I had it with me.” She purposely put a safe distance between her and her two sisters before taking the eye out from her pocket. Afterward, she put the eyeball inside her empty socket. Meanwhile, Ariel, the middle child among the three sisters complained, “You again? You are always snagging our eyes by yourself.” “I know right? Give us a chance as well.” Meredith seconded. But Steffi only rolled her removable eye and mumbled, “Oh, shut up! Stop whining, it's because I have more use of this than the two of you combined.” Ariel no longer argued. But Meredith was different. “Give me that, it is my turn today.” She insinuated and
“But this was done in consideration of what was the lesser evil. News about how the petrifying monster has been terrorizing the Black Forest had already reached the ears of the masses and as a result, was causing mayhem among the people; both non-magic and magic practitioners alike. If it was not for that, the mage community would not make a move.” “Terrorizing, you say.” The Grae mockingly repeated Niccoli’s word that struck her noggin the most. Then with a contemptuous scoff, she added, “What an interesting choice of words considering that it was you, students, who made the first move against her. If you were to ask me, I think it is more accurate to say that it was the other way around. You all are the ones doing the terrorizing. You brought the melee with you and now that she retaliated, you turned her into a villain?” Everyone fell silent afterward but it was not because they were trying to come up with better arguments to refute the other party’s words. Rather, it was due to
Audrey was on her dormitory bed when all that happened, and she was absolutely oblivious to the problem that was headed her way. Meanwhile, the results of the examination were announced on the third day. The students gathered around the square early in the morning and crammed in front of the announcement board to check their results. They also wanted to find out which class they had been allocated to. Niccoli dragged Audrey into the heavily obstructed crowd and finally came before the Herbalist Division’s announcement board. Niccoli immediately found their names, and as expected, both of them had obtained the highest marks for the test. They were also allocated to the Herbalist Division’s violet class for that autumn enrollment. Niccoli was also excited to see the name ‘Andrew’ written on the top of the list. Everyone envied her marks. “Andrew! You are the first! You are the first!” Niccoli was extremely surprised and held onto Audrey’s shoulder. He was very excited, and it was as i
[Alright, I must admit it’s my fault this time. My bad.] “As you should!” Ultimately, Nero acknowledged the part he played in inciting the agitated hut to action. But he also did not forget to let Audrey know that he did not appreciate her tone. [Needless to say, raising your voice is completely unnecessary. Besides, getting mad at me won’t change anything, will it? You’re kind of embarrassing me, just you know.] The cat tried to reason out but with her and her friends’ lives at stake and almost put in danger, Audrey did not back away easily this time. “Oh yeah? Then swear to me that from now on, you will be mindful of your choice of words. We have to be careful with every word we are saying because it was not every time that we got a chance to take it back.” Meanwhile, Nero’s response came shortly. However, it was so brief. Moreover, it did not sound sincere either. [Okay. I promised] So Audrey prompted the cat to state the matter precisely because she did not want him to circ
“What if the Graes already took notice of us as soon as we entered their perimeter and right now, we are under a spell; making our eyes play a trick on us? What if what we are seeing right now is not real?”“Well, if that is the case, then I guess there is only one way to check it.”Audrey insinuated and without wasting another breath, she said the passphrase."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."Slowly, it dawned on the others as well what was possibly happening and so without waiting to be told what to do, they recited the same thing too."Turn your back to the forest, your front to me."They whispered into the air one after another and almost immediately, the landscape changed into something else, right before their naked eyes.Everyone watched with an awestruck face as the trees turned into fences. At the same time, just a few feet away from where they were standing, they noticed how an empty lot from moments ago started to morph into what seemed to be an inconspicuou
