- Chapter 11 - Chapter 10
At the imperial palace’s meeting room where mostly a high noble status men are gathered together to discuss political affairs that happen at the borders where war is currently happening as they speak, at this time they usually had this meeting to discuss the people that live in the empire especially the safety, prosperity, and peace of the land. However, inside the chaos room existed the voices of men that could hear even in the vast corridor of the palace. The long table where the noblemen are seated left and right and at the center of it was the Emperor, himself.
“Your majesty, if we will not do anything, our troops will befall, thousands of our men will die in vain!”
“Your majesty if we will make haste, sooner or later this war will-” The Emperor of the land slammed his hand on the table which makes them shut their mouth.
“I know what is happening, and I didn’t ask you to lecture me, I will not let our soldiers die in vain. I know you are worried but getting emotional is what our enemies are what they are aiming for!” Emperor exclaimed. At the long table at the left side near the emperor is where Calix is seated.
“However, Your majesty, we are currently in short of men, there are still that haven’t recovered from the ambush last time.” Count Grizza said, he is the count who manages the east border of the empire, together with Count De Clarence and Marquess Trevor.
“We need someone capable and strong enough to smash King Edinburgh…”
“Yes! If we defeat him then his land will be ours!”
The meeting continues and nobles are fired up and keep on debating with each other with regards to the battle with the soon-to-be fallen kingdom, Edinburgh. the King was known for his kind and love for his wife and daughters, but suddenly he became someone they don’t know, he begins to be greedy and sells out himself and his kingdom to the devil. Being arrogant is a sin and being greedy is evil.
“What do you think, Crown prince?” The emperor looked at Calix.
“…King Edinburgh already put both his people and family into danger, hence, according to the reports that I’ve got something is strange is happening, the person that I asked for surveillance, told me that he was meeting a suspicious person at night, wearing a black cloak, head to toe and hard to see at the night sky. The identity of that person is yet unknown, that’s where king Edin started to act strange and behaves like his unusual behavior.” Everyone was surprised, even the emperor himself, doubt that a kind and nice king of the land suddenly selling his kingdom and turned into a devil.
“Who do you think it might be Crown Prince?” The emperor asked.
“I am not fully sure who is it, I am still Investigating of whereabouts that person… but that person may have something to do with the tower.” As the prince said his analysis and conclusion, men asked him how could he say something like that against the tower of the magicians, and Calix said that the person was wearing a necklace, which is similar to what the magicians from the tower have. some disagree but some favored the idea of the prince, but the emperor didn’t speak throughout the meeting, even after the constant debating of opinions and strategy, the meeting was finished on where they conclude that the prince will take over the battle and he will be the to take care the matters of the people at the Edinburgh Kingdom, the emperor immediately leave the meeting room without saying a word.
On the other hand, Calix is going back to his workroom, then along the way, he saw the garden of the emperor, which was filled with so many beautiful flowers, when he saw a flower, that is a small white star-shaped flower and with touches of violet at the center of it, he suddenly remembered a certain person. While he was watching, the breeze of the wind touches his skin, and the fragrance of the flowers mixed with the wind makes it soothes him after a tiresome meeting.
“Your highness, is there something wrong?” Gin appeared behind Calix, he wonders what Calix is thinking to make him stop.
“Nothing, bring me the financial papers that needed to be done at my office.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I bring it immediately…are you perhaps thinking about the lady?” Gin saw Calix flinched then Calix continues to walk straight ahead leaving Gin without answering his question. Calix continues his work before the day comes.
SELENA’S POV
It’s been a month since I finally got back to the academy, thank God Julie has notes for me to catch up with the lessons, though it is not that hard for me to catch up since already know everything that the scholars are discussing and teaching to their students and, since I am not the real Selena, it is a lot easier, sometimes I feel bad about the students, they were having troubles in answering those easy questions, though it is hard for them, is it just a piece of cake for me. However, I cannot let anyone think that I am somehow different from them so I tried my best to pretend. these past few days, I am having an uncomfortable feeling which I don’t know what is it or is it because of the war to the Kingdom of Edinburgh. According to the original story of the game, The crown prince himself will be leading the battle and will bring victory to the empire, and not only that, he will be gone from the empire for 2 years…and the moment he came back, the heroine will appear and they will meet at the victory banquet held for the victorious achievement of the Crown Prince to the empire, and instantly fall in love the moment their gaze meet each other. The moment the prince saw her, he couldn’t resist his feeling and offer her to have danced with him, instead of his fiancée. The cliché plot story of two lovebirds brought by fate at the golden banquet was people whispering and talking behind their back but they didn’t mind they just dance endlessly as if they were the only people in the world. *sighed~*
Two years…I have only two years left before she shows up, if I don’t annul this engagement between me and the prince, my life will fall just like the story in the game, I am going to die at the hands of the prince! No! I cannot afford to let that happen, if they meet, I will eventually leave their world and be on my own, yes! I just have to make him say that he wants to annul our engagement, by then I am free! Come to think of it, he will go to the battle that so long, and isn’t he too young to join the war? what does the emperor thinking sending his son to that cruel battle? Oh! I remembered that when he came back from the wars, that’s where he started to change his attitude towards people as if he was possessed by some evil or somewhat. He may look not so friendly at first, but I know that he isn’t a bad person, I don’t know how can I said that it’s just like an…intuition. so what happened at the war that made him change like that? He treats them as a tool after, not as human, except the heroine, he treats Adelia as a rare jewel, so how come? Ugh, thinking about it makes my head hurts! AHHHH! what if he returns then, he started to plan to kill me? Ugh! he shouldn’t go to that war, no matter what!
That what was I am thinking about all the time, I couldn’t find myself listening to the lecture, I heard he hasn’t gotten back to the academy, since the party. Maybe the council in the palace were busy with the matter of the kingdom of Edinburgh, he is so young and yet he…Ugh! why do I feel so worried?
“Miss Selena? is there something wrong? your facial expression changes from time to time, do you need to go to the clinic?” Julie suddenly shows up in front of me, then I realized the class was ended a while ago, without me knowing at all! Ugh! what are you doing Selena?! You told to that poker face brother of yours that you want to attend the Academy, so why can’t you focus on your lessons?! and stop thinking about the prince!
“Huh? No…it’s nothing, I am fine.” I said.
“Are you thinking about the crown prince?” That gave me surprise to what Julies said, can she read my thoughts?!…well, she is not wrong though. I don’t know to myself why do I keep on worrying about that prince.
“I…uhmm…”
“I heard that he came back to the academy this morning…” When Julie said those words, I suddenly felt relief. wait, relief? why?
“Miss Selena, I’ll be going to the library for a while, I was looking for a certain book that I cannot seem to find at the Public Library, so I will just going to check if the book that I was looking for is here at the Academy. You could just go ahead to the garden, it seems like something is going on in your head, why don’t you take a rest and have fresh air.” Julie is right, the way I am like now won’t do me anything, there are a lot of things going on inside my head, I’ve been thinking about how to escape that fate, how to leave the estate, how to annul our engagement and…him.
I went to the garden as Julie instructed me, nowadays I find this place comfortable and relaxing, the feeling of away from everything that is dragging me. Looking at the beautiful flowers reminds me of the children at the orphanage back when I was alive, we used to make flower crowns and bracelets and decorated ourselves to make ourselves beautiful, we played together, we laughed together, we smile together and we cried together. then the head director will smile at us and compliment us for making such things and comforts us whenever we feel sad. I miss those children, there are no days that I didn’t think about them. I wonder how been they doing.
While I was reminiscing my memories of my past, without knowing I already made a flower bracelet, then all of a sudden my memories flashed back to me that I used to make one of these for my Ex-boyfriend and he used to compliment me, hugged and kissed me for giving him what I made. Then the memory of where I found out that my best friend whose with me since we were at the orphanage and my ex-boyfriend whom I loved, betrayed me and cheated on me.
Ugh! remembering it, makes my heartaches. Why of all people was left by my parents, betrayed by my best friend, and cheated by my boyfriend. I was a fool to believe in love, all I did was to give them love, but that love was never return to me. I clenched my fist and started to feel that I was about to cry, I couldn’t contain my emotion.
“This is a beautiful place and yet you are here to cry.” I heard a voice. My head was down because I was crying, then when I look up there is someone who is in front of me, I couldn’t see it clearly because of the light of the sun but then when the clouds covered the light of the sun I slowly seeing who is the person in front of me.
“Y-Your Highness!” that gave me surprise, the prince is here in the garden standing in front of me and he SAW ME CRYING!
“Y-Your Highness, greetings to the glorious future sun of the empire.” I immediately gave courtesy, I placed my left hand into my chest and slightly lifted my skirt with my fingertips. My courtesy is not perfect, it still has many flaws but, what can I do? the prince suddenly showed himself before me and I have no time to mind minor details! the most important thing, WHY IS HE HERE?!
“You…why are you crying?” Huh? is that what he supposed to ask? I mean, does he need to rub my wound from the embarrassment that he saw me crying?! could you please ask me anything else?! I am dying here, you know!
“I…uhmm…I was just looking at the flowers, your highness.” I am currently couldn’t look into his eyes. So I just told him that I was just looking at the flowers and made me cry that’s all! though it is not half-lie, please take the bait.
“Does look at the flowers make your eyes into tears?” He was looking at the flowers but when he finished his question he suddenly looks at me as if he wants to stab me a dagger the way he looks at me, Huhuhu why do I deserve this?
“Yes, your highness, looking at these flowers reminds me of someone important to me. I used to make bracelets made of Flowers and gave them to that person, but I have no one to give those bracelets I made, That’s all your highness I am just saying a nonsense statement, I must go back now and my friend must be waiting for me.” I was about to leave when suddenly grabbed my hand and makes me stop in his grasp, I was in shock, I thought that I could be free now, but it seems like that will not going to happen.
“Then…” Hm?
“gave me that flower bracelet that you made.” Wha? what? WHAT?! is he insane?! what does he wants the flower bracelet that I made? I thought that he hates me then what is that look on his face?!
“Your highness, that is..!” When I was about to say to him that I don’t want, I looked at him, I don’t know if my eyes are playing at me did I just saw the ears of a dog, he looks so desperate, Ugh! why does he look so cute! snap out of it Selena!
“As you wish, your highness, forgive me if my skills are lacking. B-by the way your highness, what are you doing here?” When I changed the topic he instantly returns to his normal face. He is just looking at me and keep on staring at me without any word then, he suddenly walks to the big tree and larger than any other tree where can people relax and sit while they are here in the Garden, well, only a few people know what it truly looks like the inside of this place. He lay down and now things turn to be awkward. I was going to say my bid when he ordered me to sit beside him.
“S-sit? where…”
“Beside me, this is an order.” Agk! this guy seriously! he always makes me mad, he even used the word”order” am I his servant?! at the end I give in, I felt that my soul left my body. He is not moving at all, but just laying down and I guess he is sleeping. I couldn’t speak at him right now, because I do not want to bother him, he seems to be so tired, looking at those dark circles under his eyes. He must not get enough sleep because of the chaos the empire is facing, looking at him closely…he is extraordinarily handsome and has impressive facial features, no wonder a lot of ladies at the empire want to be his empress.
“If you keep on glaring at me you dug a hole onto my face”
“Whoa! I-! I am not glaring at y-you!”
“Hmph, I know you, you may be full of yourself but lying is not your thing”
“Wha-what do you mean?” He sits up straight after what I said and puts me on guard, because who knows what he will do to me especially that we are alone here.
END OF SELENA’S POV
Selena is on her guard, while Calix is staring at her so seriously to her eyes. The wind started to move makes the flowers and the trees dance, whooshing left to right, and makes Selena sweat a lot thinking what makes Calix stare at her like that.
“You’ve changed” Suddenly Calix spoke first after the silence a while ago and made Selena flinch.
“What?” She asked. Selena lowers her hands and raised her left eyebrows makes her wonder what Calix is talking about.
“You just heard what is happening at the empire right now,” He said.
“I’ve heard to my friend…will you be alright?” Calix flinched when he heard Selena asked him if he will be going to be alright, he turned his head towards Selena and looked at her with a surprised looked, he didn’t expect that Selena would ask anyone if they are alright.
“Are you worried about me?” He said while looking towards her.
“Obviously!” Selena turned herself to Calix the moment she looked at the way of Calix, she turned her head down while she frowns her eyebrows and clenched her fists.
“You are too young to go out of the war, what if something happens to you? what if you’ve got hurt? what if someone tried to harm you? what if…? I am worried about you.” The atmosphere between them was filled with silence yet warm feeling with each other, while Selena is tearing herself out, a warm hand with long fingertips touches her red cheeks and wiped her tears, she looked up and saw Calix’s face, he was slightly smiling and with comforting and warm eyes looking straight at her.
“I’ll be back, I promise.” Calix moved closer to Selena, closer and closer then he reached her hair and kissed that violet long and smooth hair of Selena, which makes Selena’s face blushed, she was shocked at what Calix did and he smirked when he saw how Selena react to what he did. Calix lets go of her hair and stand up while Selena is still sitting down and in a red flush.
“Until I come back, wait for me,” Calix said with an assurance tone of voice, then he leaves Selena alone at the Garden. On the other hand, Selena looks in the direction where the prince left. The look in the eyes of Selena is mixed with worry and somehow…lonely. As she was not sure why does she feel like that, all she said to herself as she will pray for Calix safety.
“Just be careful and return safely” Selena knew what will happen in the story, that Calix will return with victory, and yet she is still worried because Calix is still young for him to experience such cruel things like killing and hurting others people.
cloudy and dark days were passed, the crown prince requested to have his early graduation for he will be departing in the coming days, so as said, the crown prince has finally graduated from the academy and prepared himself to leave the empire even the imperial knight that will come along with him. A lot of people even the noble ladies at the empire are heartbroken when they heard that the Crown prince will take part in the war and will come back for who knows how long it will take, but the most worried person in the empire is Selena, herself.
“Selena…lately, it is so hard for me to look at your face,” Julie said with full of worries about Selena.
“Hmm…” Selena responds with only minimal replied to Julie.
“I am sure that the crown prince will be alright! he will win the war, that’s for sure, so you do not have to worry anymore, his highness is very strong, you know” Julie encourages Selena to be strong but it seems like it is not working at all.
“I know…that he will win…”
“Eh?”
“I know that I shouldn’t be worried about him because he and I have nothing, our engagement will be annulled soon, but, I am still worried about him and I don’t know what to do…Julie, what do I do? why do I feel like this? after he comes back, he will meet his fated partner and both of us will…” Selena couldn’t explain what she feels if she feels only worried or beyond that?
“…Selena” Julie sat at her side and hold her cold thin hands, while Selena leaned on Julie’s shoulders while tears are flowing in her eyes. Then, finally, the day they were all been waiting for, the departure of the crown prince. Everyone in was empire was gathered up to give grace to the crown prince and to the knights who will be going to deadly battle and prayed to come back safe. Everyone was there except for one person. In the original story, Selena was also one of the people who gathered together to pray and bid goodbye but she didn’t come, even until Calix and the knights left the empire and go to the cruel and harsh battlefields.
