PYRO'S POV"Sorry." Zephyrus gestured like zipping her mouth. King Arealdo looked at me in an intense way. "You disappoint me, King Fire." "How about King Lightning, Father? He was there, too. Why is he not going to take the punishment?" Hali talked in a boastful tone. He really disrespected everyone, our father was not an exemption. "I gave him a task." King Arealdo said shortly. "Why did you give me the task, too, father? So that I have a reason to go to the city?" Zephyrus' unclosed mouth talked again. "I promise I will do my—""Let's start whipping!" Father ordered. "Oh, no! This must be the worst nightmare of my life!" Zephyrus acted like a child who was covering his mouth while his eyes were widening. Well, he is the younger among us and we are forcing ourselves to accept his kiddo attitude, sometimes funny, sometimes annoying. I walked lazily to the table and grabbed my clothes out. I threw it on one of the guards. Then, I laid my frontal to the table, the back was expose
FIRA'S POV"Who told you to speak with another guy when my symbol is on you?"The stretch of my lips faded. I studied his expression, there was nothing on it, but the tone of his voice was irritating. "Sorry." I hid my pulse on my back. Since the symbol was on me, I always had a white scarf to my wrist, covering it. Fortunately, my sister did not see it. "I told you to go to my room after your duty, didn't I?" I heard the annoyance in his voice. "Sorry, Pyro, I came from—""King Fire. We are outside, Fira." He crossed his arms on his chest. "Follow me."He turned his back to me. I was shocked when I saw the blood on his garment. It was red, but it became maroon due to bleeding. I knew that it was blood because the color was different. I ran beside him and walked, labeled with him. "King Fire, what happened to your back? Oh, crap! You need serious medical attention. Do I need to call King Are—"His eyes glared at me. He also stopped from walking. "That's why I need you! I don't nee
FIRA'S POVI heard his loud sigh. He held the hem of his garment and lifted it. He was stripping the upper covering of his body. I bit my lips as his masculine chest and eight pack abs were exposed to me. I tried to look down and not be awkward. "Please let me see your back." His mouth was sealed, he just moved and showed me his back. My body trembled in shock when I viewed the condition of his dorsal. "What happened? Did you get punished?" "Tell me you are concerned and I will answer." He was facing the head board, his legs were crossed and folded. "I am always concerned." A couple of silence, it was like the angel passed by. Since I would die in silence I was the one who broke it. "What did you do to get this slashes?" I started to clean his wounds by putting cotton on it. I knew it was hurting him, but he said nothing. "I went to the city with my brothers. Father caught us.""Oh! Why did you do that? You know that it is not allowed? You can wait for the freedom day to go the
FIRA'S POV"Sorry." I raised my fingers and showed him the peace sign. "Please show me your tongue? Is it hard to do? Just do this." I moved my tongue out of my mouth. He chuckled a bit when he saw my face. "Fine!" He released his tongue. I moved closer to look at every corner of his teeth. "Roll up your tongue. Let me see what's underneath. I am checking, I am your dentist for today." I was just joking. I was not expecting that he would chuckle from my naughtiness. "Okay, Good Boy. The medicine is not there." I gave him a perfect smile with my eyes shut a bit. "Okay. I am going. Rest well. Don't put your clothes on. Don't be stubborn, your majesty. I will check with you again after one or three hours. Maybe Saza is finding me from this moment. So I gotta go!" I turned my back on him. I was about to step when he grabbed my hand. He looked away. I saw the shyness in his expression. Lately, I have gotten used to his attitude. Sometimes, he was annoyed. Sometimes, he was kind and bri
FIRA'S POV"Spark? You mean fireworks in the dark sky?" I chuckled. I knew that Zephyrus was just kidding me. That was his attitude. Always making fun of some stuff. For the first time, he shut his mouth and the expression of his face became blank. He stood up and gave me a small smile. "I'm good. I just called Raiden to continue this. Thank you so much, Fira. You may go."I had nothing to say except moving my head from the bolt upright. "See you when I see you." A big cute smile formed on his lips. "Okay." I stepped out of his room while my head was messed up. I could still remember the look of Zephyrus when I got out of his place. He was serious. Crap. I have something to do so I pushed my thoughts to the back of my head. When I arrived in the kitchen, Cass was panicking. "Fira! Where did you come from?""I treated the slashes of King Fire and King Wind." This day was tough for me, I felt like I wanted to be alone and just looked at the stars. "Your sister came here. She was
PYRO'S POV"Face me, Pyro. Let me hug you."Her words made me stop from chilling. I could feel my heart, it was drumming so loud that even my ear bleed to its sound. There was something in his words that affected the electricity in my system to crawl all over my body and gave me a happy feeling. "Pyro..." Her voice is like music in my ear, soothing my difficulty to blow away like an air. I do not know where I grabbed the strength to move my body and face her. My eyes sparkled as I viewed her beautiful perfectly curved eyebrow and eyelashes, tantalizing eyes, concave nose that suits her face, well proportioned pink lips. This was my first time getting close to her with just a strand of hair distance. My body was aching, but it blew away by just staring at her face. I watched the formation of a small radiating smile on her lips. We were both facing each other in a sideways way. I was on the left and she was on the right. Her hands lifted and touched my forehead. "Let me touch you,
FIRA'S POVPyro ran faster as I fell on the ground. My butt was aching, that was why I could not stand up. I touched my back and winced. "Ouch."I was stunned, my eyes widened when he held my thighs and lifted me up. Going back to the bed, he sat me there and stood up in front of me. "Sorry, King Fire. I didn't mean to sleep here with you. I am just tired yesterday so I didn't notice that—""Relax." He bent his body, put his hands on his knees. "Are you okay?" "Yes. It's just…" I held my back. "It hurts."He looked worried. He sat beside me and called Seryo. The guard immediately went inside. He was not shocked when he saw me because I was unable to go out last night. "Yes, your majesty?" Seryo bowed to him. "Ask Omega to bring us foods inside and call the doctor to look for Fira—""No, no, no!" I recklessly moved my head. "I am fine. I don't need a doctor. You are the one who needs to be checked." I peeked on his back. It seemed like his dorsal was swollen and red. He just moved
FIRA'S POVI looked at the left and then to the right. I was going to escape to go to Janus. I need to meet him so that I can get the information I want. Eira was sleeping peacefully when I left her. I should investigate on my own, if I only wait for my father to come back, no assurance. I ran towards the woods when I saw that there were no guards. The shiver crawled all over my body as I stomped on the cold dark forest. I embraced myself and rubbed my shoulder as I walked straightly. It is like a horror place where some wolves, vampire or whatever suddenly showed up. I gasped for air when I walked to the dim. I could only hear the waves of air, swaying trees and the crack of the dried brown leaves. My eyeball moved from the right to the left. I could hear the howling of werewolves and smoke from somewhere. Crap! I should grab someone with me. It feels like I am in a suspense thriller movie!I stepped forward, going my way for about six minutes, but it felt like forever. I tilted
