Capítulo 23: CHAPTER 23

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE GRAND CLASH

Looking at myself in the mirror for the last time, I checked if I looked alright. I was wearing an overcoat in the shade cerulean with a white polo under it.

I was also wearing fitted slacks and formal shoes to match the look. I know I look like I was about to go on a meeting with some important people but that's the rule. A royalty must always be presentable in the eyes of himself and the public.

The clothes I wore were tailored to match my physique form and was embedded with many gems and it had intricate details like how the embroidered seal of the kingdom was carefully made to match the over coat.

"Alex let me do your hair-" I flashed him a glare and he immediately understood. I don't let anyone touch my hair.

I do it just as how I like it and most of the time, I don't style it. My hair was fairly lengthy to the point that it gets into my eyes, but I got used to it thus I leave it just the way it is.

When I was satisfied with how I looked, I motioned that we should get going since I do not want to miss breakfast for today since I haven't eaten anything proper.

I think I really am going to die in hunger. When we got outside of the room, Philip was nowhere to be found. He probably went to Apollo.

"Good morning Prince Alex." I would just smile or nod whenever someone greeted me.

They were from various kingdoms and it was nice since they did not feel the need to be hostile with people from another kingdom. Nate opened the door that lead to the dinning and I immediately saw Diane waving her hands at me.

"Will you eat with them Alex?" I just nodded, and Nate and I went to separate ways. He went to the table where the other aids were at. Upon nearing the table, I noticed that a certain person was missing.

"What took you so long." Kaval spoke but I could barely understand him since his mouth was full.

"I took my time to shower." I said while placing food in my plates. There were only a few of students here, a lot lesser compared to the other night.

"Do you guys always eat here?" I asked and started to eat my food.

"Yes, because I would give Kaval and Hade a lecture whenever they don't eat for breakfast. But Hade never listens so I don't bother with him anymore." Diane drank her water and started to eat again.

"Hey, I don't listen to you too, yet you keep bugging me!" Diane looked at Kaval dangerously who was speaking even if his mouth was full.

Kaval grumbled but continued eating nonetheless. The food was good. I had some meat and leaves with an orange juice. Pretty basic right? This is what I always have for breakfast back at home which speaking of, I miss so dearly.

"Good morning." I looked up to see Apollo fully dressed. He was wearing the same outfit as we are, but we vary in themes. Kaval was in a gold and black get up, Diane was in white with some gold detailing and Apollo was in all black.

He looked even more gorgeous with what he was wearing. His hair was also neatly done as well as Kaval. Diane's' hair was tied up in a ponytail while me? Eh, I don't think about it unless I get any complains about how my hair looks.

We were eating peacefully and enjoying the food, but I couldn't help but be bothered as to where Hade is? I mean not that I care about him now. Of course not, that is just absurd.

Well he is a grown up and he should know what to do, why am I still even think of him. Maybe because of that stupid dream. A very unrealistic dream I may add. I stopped eating once I felt really full and sat back on my chair.

Apollo was sitting like how a prince should and that got me a little insecure. I fixed my posture and tried to look nonchalant even if my belt was about to pop. I shouldn't have eaten that much food.

"Apollo, why weren't you at this table when I first arrived?" Apollo wiped the side of his lips with a napkin before looking at me.

"Ah, I arrived two days after the ceremony but Philip, which is my aid arrived a lot earlier. Speaking off, thank you for tending to him. He told me about the fuss that happened that day." He said with a slight smile and I couldn't help but smile back.

"It's nothing. He is fun to be around." I said before tearing my gaze away from him.

"We should get going now, we don't want to be late." All of us stood and agreed with Kaval.

I just figured that Diane and Apollo has the same schedule while me, Kaval and Hade has the same one. We separated ways and walked to our classrooms.

"Do you think Hade will show up today?" Kaval asked.

"I didn't even know we were in the same schedule as him."

"Oh yeah, you sat in his table the first day." Kaval laughed.

Now I get as to why I received those reactions from the other students when I sat on that table.

It was Hades'. When we arrived, unlike the first day, the students stood up and bowed their heads to greet us. Kaval and I nodded and went to our seat but now that I know Hade is sitting at that table, I need to find a new one. Fortunately, I saw one at the middle. I was about to go there when I heard Kaval.

"You, transfer to that empty seat. That seat is going to be occupied by Prince Alex." The girl on the table which from the looks of her badge was from Kavals' land, smiled and nodded before walking to the empty table in the middle.

I smiled at her and saw her blush before walking to the table that is now mine which by the way, is next to Kaval.

"Now I know why you want me to sit here." I said in annoyance.

"You do? Hmm I wonder what the reason may be?" Kaval tapped his chin and I slapped his arms to where the other students laughed at.

He threw them a glare and they immediately went silent. It was almost time and the teacher should be here any moment now thus when we heard the door open, we assumed that it was the teacher, but we were wrong.

It was Hade Morningstar in all of his might stepping into the classroom. He was wearing yet again the same outfit as the others and his was themed in black and had some touches of red and the seal of his kingdom was embedded as a ruby.

He looked really intimidating and the atmosphere of the room immediately changed. The other students stood up to greet him, but they did not get a reply thus they sat down looking like they just talked to a ghost.

I did not look back at Hade since I feel like he might see something unpleasant and feel angry then vent it all on me because honestly, that is what he's been doing since I got here to the point that I almost feel like a punching bag for the gods' sake.

He sat beside Kaval and I could feel his dark aura completely spreading through the deepest corners of the room.

"Hey man, where have you been?" Kaval leaned to him, but Hade did not even spare him a glance.

"It's mean to not greet me and Alex you know?" Kaval said returning back to his seat formally.

This time Hade turned his head to look at us and by the time I looked to him, his eyes were already showing raging anger. What in the abyss did I do this time?

I better not get punched or he's going to get another smash from me. I just looked away from him to avoid my mood getting affected by him which has already been swayed by his arrival.

"Say something Hade, did you go mute?"

"Shut up Kaval, you don't want to get in to my bad side today because you already have last night when you sided with this useless mutt here." His words stung and my heart broke and ached for no apparent reasons.

Why was I so affected by him? I didn't look at him to make it look like I did not pay attention, but I did, and I guess I shouldn't have.

"Hade, you were clearly in the wrong. Can you just not be violent with anything you don't like. Alex is one of us whether you like it or not. And he's a good person, he doesn't deserve your way of treatment honestly." Kaval said while his eyes were closed.

Somehow, Kavals' word eased my feelings a little bit. Guess it was all really a dream. I was a fool to even have a second thought about it, that I'll admit. We did not hear any response from the devil himself.

The teacher has already arrived, and the class started. I was in the middle of jotting down some important details when my ear rang like it was going to burst. I closed my eyes because of the pain and tried not to cause a scene by staying calm.

The ringing started to get even worse and I couldn't help but let out a small grunt. I opened my eyes and thankfully no one noticed.

The last thing that I would want is to disrupt this class. The ringing was now starting to get unbearable and my eyes were starting to water.

"K-Kaval."

I managed to let the words out in a whisper. Kaval looked at me and then his eyes widened. I signaled him that we shouldn't cause a scene, but it was too late.

"Alex! Your blood is gushing out everywhere!"
