Chương 45: Chapter 45

[Third Person's PoV]

It's been 2 weeks since the rumor of Cid going on a date with Alexia has started to spread, all over the school.

It was to the point where Cid had to send a note in advance towards his wives so they wouldn't come knocking down the door and demanding an explanation.

Cid knows they wouldn't do that but he did it just in case, you can never know with them honestly. Cid mostly sent it with the intent to stop Beta from doing anything crazy, since she's the most likely to appear if she heard Cid is dating a princess.

During those two weeks Cid as kept the appearance of dating Alexia, by taking her on dates and holding her hands in public.

Due to the constant contact with Cid, Alexia's feelings for him have been all over the place. She knows she shouldn't develop feelings for him afterall he's a married man, but she couldn't help it. To her the fruit that is most forbidden is the juiciest one.

Right now both Alexia and Cid are both sitting down on a empty train.

"You know I've been thinking about what you told me previously" said Alexia while leaning on her seat.

"And what did I tell you? You can't expect me to know what thing you're talking about. We did do alot of talking afterall"

"When I told you about how I hated my swordsmanship. You told me that to hate my swordsmanship is the same as hating myself, that how I wield my sword is a representation of who you are.

You also said that there's nothing wrong in being simple when doing things, that there is beauty in simplicity. The last part stuck with me"

Alexia paused for a while thinking about all the simple things in life that have beauty to them, the days she spent with Cid. They were such simple moments but they were a wonderful memory to have.

Alexia let's out a small smile as she says "I think you're right. There is a beauty in the small things. Thanks to you I don't think I hate my swordsmanship as much as I used to and thanks to that I was able to see a small improvement on them as well."

"What's up with this mushy feeling type of vibe you're releasing and why bring it up?"

Alexia just shrugged her shoulder before getting slightly embarrassed, she softly scratched her cheek as she said "Well I guess I just wanted to express my gratitude"

"You're talking like it's your few minutes left alive... stop it, it's weird"

Alexia just started chuckling which just weirded out Cid even more. 'Seriously is my good looks that awesome that they leave girls feeling vulnerable and open up to me... I should get that under control'

Alexia then stood up and started stretching, she then waved Cid goodbye sensually 'He's already married to other girls... what's one more to the mix. I'll do it, I'll make him fall in love with me, so much so that he forgets about the other girls. Just wait and see' Alexia got off the train with a determined expression.

The next day...

Cid is slowly making his way towards class, 'well I guess I got to get "interrogated". Though if she didn't put up a fight i would be disappointed'

As soon as Cid was about to enter the school ground he was surrounded by all sides with knights. 'I see thanks to my known strength they have more reinforcement'

Cid decided to just play along "Although normally I would like this much attention, I would have at least preferred it if it was a bunch of girls doing it"

Zenon the stood infront of Cid with a hand on his sword ready to pull it out. And with a serious tone he said "Please come with us quietly we don't want any sorts of trouble. Princess Alexia has been missing since yesterday night and no one had seen her. You are the last known person to have been reported to have been seen with her last.

So you until proven innocent you are under arrest for the kidnapping of royalty."

Cid just raised a brow and looked around, he saw some of the guards with them have fresh wounds on their bodies which just made him snicker

Zenon's expression turned darker "it's something I said funny"

Cid just gave a casual smile as he shook his head "Nope, not at all. Well gentlemen lead the way I guess and this lowly noble will follow"

Zenon just narrowed his eyes when looking at Cid, this is not what he expected. 'He's supposed to be fighting back and denying these accusations, why is he taking everything with stride? Does he have a plan? Impossible this was a surprise attack there's no way'

[Alexia's Pov]

Waking up in a cell is the last thing I wanted, Maybe in Cid's arms... not in a cell. Tsk my magic is seal. These stupid chains, is that why Cid said to not always rely in magic but in your body.

Sigh, how does he always know what's for the best. Shit... they're going to think he's done something to me if I go missing for to long.

While I was deep in thought thinking of all possible consequenceses Cid may be facing because of me, I heard the sound of chains rattling.

It couldn't be mine I was laying down perfectly still, being able to turn my head, I look towards the direction of the sound. It looks like a creature with dark skin and it looks likes it's in pain... poor thing

While looking at the pitiful creature a heard the sound of quick footsteps fast approaching. Soon a lanky man appeared wearing a lab coat while holding an empty syringe.

"I will finally have it! With the blood of a royal all of over ambitions will come into fruition. With the blood of the demon all of my dreams would come true" the crazy scientists says clearly excited.

The crazy scientists then came and put the syringe near my veins, I want to struggle, scream, and shout, but I know that's foolish. The more cooperative I am the safer I'll be, even though I hate it.

Think about everything Cid has taught you. 'If I remain calm in any situation I can always find a way out'

I just got to abide my time and wait for the perfect opportunity to escape.

Sighhh i just hope nothing to drastic happens to Cid because of me, I would totally feel responsible if it does.
