Terrius POV " Must you always be like this for every event?" The palace guard says as he loosens my grip on the couch. Within seconds I find myself being carried out the door in Manor's arms. I pushed his face and struggle to get away but his grip under my knees and around my shoulders was too strong. " You're quite strong to be able to carry him like a girl. I'm lucky to have you! It normally takes me hell to drag him past the door." The Palace Guard compliments. " Manor! Please! I'm begging you don't do this! I don't know if I can hold myself back under her touch!" I begged. " Sorry, I made a promise to little Sana that I would try my best to get you to attend." Manor apologized. The Palace Guard opens the door to the Queen's carriage door and gestures Manor to board. Manor finally puts me down but he sits next to me with his arm around my shoulder keeping me from escaping out the second door. I struggle while Kaen and Hikaru sit in front of me then the carriage do
Hikaru POV " Well? How do you feel about her?" Kaen asks as he pried my hands off him and pushed me away as far as he can. My best friend is so cruel, not accepting a loving hug from his little bro. " I...." Terrius stares at his hands as he tries to figure out his feelings for the young princess. The carriage finally comes to a halt and the carriage doors open revealing the Palace painted with the red glow of the sunset. One after the other we got down from the carriage and start our slow descent up the steps of the Palace. " You don't have to give an answer now, take your time and think it through. You still have another year until the princess is able to take in a concubinator." Manor says to Terrius who looked extremely worried and confused. " More like you have a month left to tell her your feelings and break off that engagement." Kaen urged. " Kaen!" I frowned at his suggestion. Kaen" Hey! I'm just stating the possibilities." " Or you could tell her
Hikaru POV " Oh! Right! See you at the ballroom!" Sana says as she tenderly held Terrius's hand in hers before running after her mother. The four of us suddenly found ourselves standing in an empty throne room. " *sighs* Come on, let's go." Terrius sighed. " Why do I have a feeling that that happens a lot?" Kaen asked. " Well, at least she's adorable in that pink gown, really kinky with all that lace! I bet Terrius can really get down on that!" Manor mused. " I will not!" Terrius frowned. " Then let me?" Manor points at himself with a grin. They soon started bricking again as they headed to the ballroom. I turn to Kaen who was staring at the throne. " Planing your rise to Royalty, Master?" I asked with a smirk. " What?! Of course not!..... It's just that I recognize this smell...." Kaen shook his head. " Smell?" " That ocean beachy kind of smell, the Queen and the Princess. They are mermaids aren't they?" " * Chuckles* Nothing gets by you doesn'
Manor POV " I see that you're not dancing. " A man walks up and stands beside me. I turned to look and saw a redhead in a black suit behind a black-orange striped mask, his sharp orange-red eyes reminded me of someone. " Whiskers? Wow, I didn't expect to see you wearing pants!" I said in utter shock. " Don't call me that! I'm V6 not Whiskers, not kitty, not my !" I interrupted him before he could continue. " Alright! Alright, I get it. So why are you here like that Mr 6?" " I wanted to see how Sana is doing with her fiance but there was a no-pet policy beyond the doors of the east wing." " Well, there she is, dancing with him." I pointed at Sana dancing in the crowd with Prince Serin from the Kingdom Ayrshire. He strikes me as quite the looker, with his hair a deep dark blue that looks black from afar and his sunny bright yellow eyes. " From his enthusiastic and energetic attitude, he's the perfect match for the Princess. " I commented. " But?" " But what
Manor POV " To tell you the truth, I was deciding on leave earlier before I saw you." M.Kaen admits to her. " Why were you?" Singer asked. " It's a little intimating, don't you think? Everyone circling around me like I'm a prize bull to take down." M.Kaen whispered to her. Singer starts giggling. " Go ahead and laugh, but this is serious.... if I'm going to spend the rest of my life with someone she's got to be.." Crap! V6 is still there with the Prince and there are standing at the Palace entrance now! Damn! I'm blocked on both sides! The singer lets go of his hand and spins while saying. " Well, she's got to be exciting. " Holy sh****! They are right there!! I immediately sat on my clothes and posed like a statue, with one paw up and my mouth opened wide like I'm a snarling leopard next to lots of flowers and this bench... Fu** I'm so doom!! " * chuckles * I guess. " He closes the distance between them, she then turns to face hi
Manor POV "* Groans*" I groan as I realize that my head was killing me. Hmmm? Why is the table on the ceiling... How is the carpet stuck to the ceiling? ... why is everything on the ceiling? " Oh! Morning Manor! Strange place to be sleeping isn't it?" Terry calls out to me as he walks upside down on the ceiling towards me. " How are you walking on the ceiling?" "....Um... I'm not? You're sitting upside down." " I am?" I then looked up and saw my feet straight up against the wall where my body was supposed to be while my head and arms hung off the couch where my feet were supposed to be. ".... Oh..." I then pulled myself up and sat down properly on the couch. " How was the Palace Guard's after-party?" " Well. ... I remember it was good.... before I black out. ..." " You don't remember how you got back?" "..... Nope....." " Alright, I'll make you some tea and hopefully, that would make you feel better." " Where's Hikaru and Master Kaen?" I asked as I r
Terrius POV " Of course not!! I have rats for that!! Give me that!" I shouted at him as I grabbed the small white rabbit away from him and held it in a calm way. The baby rabbit was shivering in fear and looked like it met the Demon King. " Look what you did to the poor fellow. You better release the rest. Bloody idiot. " I yelled at him, but to my surprise, Manor suddenly hugged me. " Thank god! I thought you were going to kill all these adorable bunnies! Bun Bun was really scared when I told him all about you." ".... Never name the test subject! It would be harder when it dies." Manor then looks me in the eyes. " But you're just taking a blood sample from Bun Bun, right? Nothing dangerous?" " * Sighs* Yes I am, I promise to you nothing extremely painful will happen to the test subject." " Yeahh!!! Hear that Bun Bun?!! You're going to be just fine!!" Manor happily says as he pats the white rabbit in my arms. " He was doing just fine before he met you. *Sighs
Manor POV " Black Parasol Mushroom. Black Parasol Mushroom. " I repeated to myself as I walked deeper into the woods, every step I took, I had to be careful not to slip on the moss. A strong wind blew through the forest, causing the cages on Terry's caravan to rattle. The forest once again stirred with life as the 30 rabbits I released earlier, tried to make it back to their homes. Hopefully, I can as well before the storm comes. I then paused at that thought. ... home... Do I really consider that as my home? Well... I mean we aren't really related in any way... We're just a bunch of guys working to accomplish a common goal... Which is the reason I'm here tracking through this dark forest. I thought as I recalled Master Kaen's explanation of his theory to combine the dark elements in fungus with a scale of fish or was it a scale of a fish woman? He did say that the element of that scale would protect the cure from the demonic fungus that's would keep the cure from being dete
