Bab 80: Lord Calixe Fiel Part 1

---Adhiti---

He pushed me a little hard on the hot-cold wall of the alley covering his body from the beam of the light outside. He smelled like lemongrass and carrots. Why carrots? I don't know. Well so I was about to push him to take my knife under my dress, but he pinned my wrists on the wall. I can't see his whole face because he glared outside.

I saw Almira with other girls in red-orange dresses. I noticed the face of the woman that she is talking to. A face that I can't even imagine that will be here. She's wearing a white long princess gown with a white cloak. Her hair is braided and she's wearing expensive jewelry.

"Don't speak or even make a stupid move. She'll sense that you are here."

How can Eliza sense that? Did she have a great sense of me? Can she smell me like a werewolf? I meet those pure black eyes. Deep and pretty. I mean, this is my first time seeing black eyes. His nose is pointed and slender. His lips are thin, and he had a small stubble of beards. His facial feature is familiar like he has someone that reminds me of.

I gape on what he did next. He scooped my cheeks that sent shivers straight to my spine. Like half or one-fourth perhaps of my soul is into his touch. It sent tingles around me makes my heart flutters. Who is this stranger? And why my body is responding to his touch? He moved his face closed to mine that makes the tattoo on my lower back-right burns in unknown sensation.

"Aryanna." He murmurs like it was my name. I don't know-how part of my body responded to him. I have someone else in my mind and heart.

"Who are you? Why did you call me on that name?" I murmur in a husky tone.

"I am not what you think." He immediately pulls down his hand when he found out that he's somehow hypnotized on me.

"Who is Aryanna?"

"None of your business." He glanced outside to see Almira walking towards our direction. She's glaring on the man that I am with. He looked at me again. "Do not show yourself to her. She can predict things and that's why you died and suffer outside that school." He immediately left where Almira just cross her arms and cleared her throat as something stuck there.

"Strange."

"Yes." She agreed. "Good timing though." She told herself. So, I take this time on asking her.

"You know him?"

"Yes. One of the heirs of Elder's Council in Psyche."

"We need to leave. I wanted to go home." We did leave going back on the hill where our horses are. We saw a few men pulling the horses, but they don't want to. When the horses saw us or more like sense us, they kicked the three-man. I pull my knife under my dress and they all leave running.

When we get home, I asked her about his name. I am really curious about him. He made part of my soul like hypnotized on him. I don't know what's going on with me and him. I feel guilty. I thought that only Nick makes me feel like that.

I waited for Nick until he arrived. He arrived late. When I heard his horse, I immediately came out running. He is putting the horse on the stable when he faced me and I jumped on him, he caught me holding my back, my arms wrapped around his nape and my legs wrapped around his hips. I started kissing his face but stop when I smell the different perfume on him.

"What's that smell?" I glare at him.

"I have a lot to tell you." Yeah, we need to talk. He smelled like the bitch that I meet a while ago. He carried me on the walk to the cabin while he started talking. "You see, I unexpectedly attend the meeting together with Prince and Princesses from other Kingdom. It is the usual gathering from Kingdom to Kingdom to plan on the biggest festival in the Psyche Kingdom." He put me down on the mattress, propping his elbows at my side so he won't smash me. "I didn't expect a few things. They harass me, love." He complains. "Mostly, Wendy and," he stopped there. I guess I know who he is talking to.

He shoved his face on my neck and breaths. He felt frustrated that I might get angry because of the stupid bitches who are mingling on my Prince.

"I saw Eliza." He pushed himself up. "Some stranger guy pulls me into the alley to hide me from her. I don't understand why he hid me from her, saying some warnings…"

"Who is he?"

"Almira said that his name is Calixe Fiel."

"What did he say?" he curiously asked. I didn't tell him what I felt and what the strange man did. It doesn't matter.

"He told me that 'do not show yourself to her. She can predict things and that's why you died and suffer outside that school'." I said exactly what that guy told me.

"Who is he talking about?"

"Eliza." Nick's face looks down. When he realized something. I watch his expression and suddenly, he decided to take a shower. I just lay there thinking all over again. Eliza. Eliza. What does she do that makes me suffer? Of course, besides seducing my boyfriend. It takes Nick a long time on the bathe and I fall asleep.

Then, I just felt that he lay down beside me and wrapped his arms protectively around me. He pressed his cheeks on mine, after a few moments, he decided to kiss my cheeks and kiss me again and again. I giggle and face on him, pillowing on his chest.

"I love you, Adhiti."

"I love you…" I murmur and fall asleep.

I was in the snowy forest wearing a white thick coat playing on the snow. I use the wind to shoo the ravens away and laughs.

"Aryanna!" a man called. Then, I realized that the I at that moment wasn't me at all. I saw how the youthful man runs on the snowy ground. "I will catch you at this time."

"Why? Have you seen it in your vision?" she asked teasing him while running.

"No. My intuition did." He said breathlessly. Aryanna was fast and running in the snow is nothing to her as the wind goes with her. "My love aren't you cold?" he asked breathlessly.

"No! I thought you are going to catch me this time?" she stopped to shout at him. He tripped and falls his face down the snow. Aryanna kept on laughing at him. "Get up, my love. You need to catch me."

When Calixe Fiel gets up, his happy face gets broken when he saw that his love was hit by a silver arrow through the chest. He screams her name and ran immediately. I look in the direction where the arrow came from and saw a woman, riding on the white stallion in a black cloak. She put down the bow. I glare on her. Few strands of her hair are showing, and it is silver-like.

She smirked and another two horses came. One is riding on the brown horse, in the black cloak and another was a girl at the age of fifteen if I am not mistaken. Familiar and when I meet her eyes, I know who she is. The man with her comes to the crying Calixe. Aryanna is on his arms murmuring and telling her last words for her love.

The young Eliza and the man with her strode to him. It is like he was about to fight them, but he was hypnotized, and he falls on the cold snow. He is fighting something and his hands trying to reach his love's hand.

My tears instantly fall into my cheek on that sorrowful moment that I witnessed. My eyes dilated and I scream when the bald man that has tattoos on the head run to me in a very swift movement.

I wake up screaming, breathless, my heart is palpating. I feel really, really cold like I was in that winter moment. I realized that Nick is in front of me murmuring and keep asking if I was okay. He scooped my cheeks looking deep into my eyes. He stopped when he saw my eyes.

"What is it?" I asked him while catching my breath.

"It is my first time seeing your eyes in a light blue. Blue mixed with white…"

"I-I was in the forest with snows…" he hugged me to warm me.

"What do you see, love?"

"Th-they killed her…" I said breathlessly and found myself broke into tears and sobs. I hugged him tightly. I felt my body is shaking and I keep murmuring on the last words that I said.

He immediately fetched some freshwater in the glass and let me drink. After I relaxed, I pressed my cheek on his nude chest and his heartbeat calms me more. What a beautiful sound. He embraced me protectively kissing the top of my head.

"You can tell me everything if you are ready."

I told him everything I saw. It just makes him look mad. He is. He told me everything he knows. On the History of the Aēr. Aryanna was the crown Princess and she was engaged with Calixe, one of the Heirs of the Elder Council. They never caught the killer because Calixe didn't see it or more like his memory was washed out.

"I saw who killed her. I saw them. They put a spell on him…" I babbled. He scooped my cheek to calm me down.
