Chaol watched from the window as Asthenosthene walked towards Owl and smiled at him. He pretended to open the carriage's window and throw out the stick of cigarette, only to watch her clearly from the distance.
He was filled with so much wariness and anxiety. It wasn't that he didn't trust Owl's intuition, but he felt like leaving Asty along with somebody like him was a mistake.
Lana who was sitting opposite of him, decided to break the silence. It was always silent when Asty isn't around. "Lord Chaol?"
The male's ravishing, deep hues deliberately swivels on the lowly maid. He then spoke in a low, deep tone. "What?"
"Why did you allow me to go?"
Chaol rolled his eyes and fixate
It was at that time of the year once again.A young girl watches from the trees as the snowflakes slowly solidifies on the lingering, frigid air. She breathes slowly as she felt the warmth leaving her body.The pale girl clutched onto her filthy dress which smelled of smoke and oil. Her hair was damp and her eyes were lifelessly staring at the sight of the smoking chimneys and snow-covered roofs in front of her.She is never coming back to that village ever again.She breathed and breathed. There was nothing else she can do but breathe. After all, she made her pledge never to fight again.She would always end up leaving, with her body slashed and deep scars carved
"Where are you kids both at, hmmm?!"Lana and Ron giggled as they hid behind the barrels inside their father's warehouse. Ron's father was a huge, bearded man who could lift three kegs behind his back. He was a powerhouse to the sight of the children.Though he knows very clearly where they were hidden, he pretends to call out their names acting as if he did not have a single clue where they were.They wouldn't come out, anyway."Boohoo. Papa stepped onto a nail! Please help Papa!" the man cried and pretended to fall in the ground, holding his feet.The children immediately emerges out from behind the barrels and ran towards him.
"Are you sure you do not want to stay for dinner, Asty?" The cheerful young woman shook her head and smiled. "I don't think I'll be able to do so. The Count will be picking me up in a few minutes." Noelle, Athena, and Mrs. Pickinns frowned. "Can you not ask for a delay even for just an hour, honey?" Athena asked her. Asty turned her back and pointed at the male who was leaning against the door in the tailor office. It was Owl. "Everything he says is absolute, Mother." Asty chuckled. Owl opened his eyes and glanced at the group. They seem to be wanting her to stay. He closed his eyes again, resting. "Are you sure that they did not h
The King waited patiently at the Palace's floating patio. He was merely standing, admiring all the beauty of the night lights. He seemed to be in a trance. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder.The King straightened himself into a rod and looked at the person. It was Yuran."Your Majesty, are you exhausted already?"The King shook his head and ran his fingers into his pale, blond hair. "Not at all, what is it?""The Count's carriage has already arrived. I believe Miss Asthenosthene is with him."He nodded. "I'll be here."Yuran arched himself and started to walk away. Back there, he saw the King's eyes glistened wh
Chaol's tapping of feet was pestilential. The group irked in annoyance as they listened at the count's despicable destruction of quiet and peace. With their head leaning against the benches, Yvonne could not help but snap at him for it."My Lord. It's ironic how you called us obnoxious earlier and yet now, you are tapping your feet like a drum. Do you hate us that much?"Chaol ignored her and stopped it."Thank goodness." Yvonne sighed.Owl did not seem to hiss at the woman. For that instance, he hated to admit it, but he too- felt distressed at the tapping of his feet. It was maddening.Everyone was grateful for Yvonne. She had just liberated their ears from their master's ridiculous un
Chaol marches towards the waiting benches where the rest of his group stayed. He clapped his hand in order to get their attention. "Get up, and let's go home." Yvonne and the others stretched their arms. It was a long day. Asty stared at Chaol with concerned eyes before the male's icy hues met hers. The male glanced away. He felt that tapping on his chest once again. After a few moments, the others started to head towards the carriage. She noticed that Chaol was walking slower than the others. "You guys can walk ahead, I'll wait for Chaol." she whispered to Lana and Yvonne. "Huh? Why?" "I want to ask to as
The count's atrocious humming could be heard from almost every corner of his castle. Errol covered his ears as the count continued to hum his flowery masterpiece."He's bad at it." Errol mumbled to Owl and sighed."Are you forgetting that you are living in that bad hummer's house, rent-free?" Owl flayed at him."Of course, I'm not forgetting it." he replied.They continued to stack the hay near the stables. Asty approaches them from behind and called out to them. Their heads turned at her. She was holding a tray of snacks for the two."Hey guys!" she called out to them. "Take a break."The two's eyes glist
"She'd be on the top of my list."Asty's cheek blushed only by thinking of the count's forbidden response. She rolled back and forth against her bed and exasperated a sigh."H-He's too blunt." she mumbles to herself and bit her lip.The male was absolutely teasing. Even from just the thought of him would make every woman intoxicated.There was a knock on her door. Asty lifted her head and called out, asking for the person who was knocking."Who is it?"There was no response. Asty stood up and reached towards the door, opening it. There stood Errol, looking down at her.
