章節 11: CHAPTER 11

"Eherm." I looked over to the side and saw the same person who was fiddling with his fingers. I sighed and spoke.

"Are you alright." He jumped a little in his seat and looked at me with a nervous smile.

"U-uh y-yes of course. J-just a l-little n-nervous."

"If you find me sitting with you troubling, I can move somewhere else if you want."

"Oh no! N-no, I'm h-honored actually." I looked at him with a questioning look. He was averting my gaze and he was slightly sweating.

"S-see I am y-your s-subject." I looked at him and smiled, just only then did I notice the pin that represents our kingdom on his chest.

"Ah, I see. Well don't be nervous. I don't bite." I chuckled and went back to my notes. I heard him chuckled a little too. The bell rang, and I immediately got up from my seat and said goodbye to the person beside me who's name by the way is Eric.

I walked down the hallway alone while the others were leaving in pair. Some acknowledged my presence, and some were just too busy to notice that I was there.

"P-Prince Alex." I turned around and saw the person who almost if not attacked me last night. What was her name? I can't even remember. I continued walking not wanting to talk to her but unfortunately, she caught up to me. I did not look at her and I was not planning to.

"Uh, I-I would like to apologize for what I d-did last n-night." I walked faster not wanting to be with her. I don't know but I feel uneasy around her.

Something about her is just off. Maybe the overdone make up? The forcedly exposed chest or just her flirty actions.

"A-are you going to say something?" She was trying her best to catch up with me as I am practically running at this point.

"O-okay, I get it. J-just know that I really am sorry." She finally stopped chasing me, but her words resonated in my ear like an annoying be.

"Spoiled brat." I just rolled my eyes and decided not to mind what she said because I know it'll be of no benefit to me and I do not want her to ruin my mood further. Since I woke up this morning, I've been really giddy and excited about the sleep over thing that Diane mentioned last night.

We saw each other this morning and she said rather too excitedly that everything is set and that made me even more excited.

"Well what do we have here?" I jumped out of my thought and turned around and saw a group of boys standing in the hallway.

"A new student I see." The one with a scar on the brow spoke. I immediately knew that these people were trouble. I ignored them and tried to walk away but one of them grabbed my wrist and turned me harshly. I started to get irritated and looked at them with a glare.

"Oh, feisty." One of them spoke. There were three of them and all of them looked like they were from the side of the abyss as their actions and improper manners are very prominent.

Most of them are banned from entering the center of our kingdom as they were always known to cause trouble and only those only of the few who has direct connection with the kingdom can enter and go to the center and are allowed to go and enhance their abilities by studying at the academia. This also means that these rascals are somewhat my people.

"What do you need?" I spoke, voice stern and cold. They all smiled wickedly and moved closer.

"You." I snickered at the answer and that made them look like they wanted to kill me. They were about to charge at me when Nate arrived at enclosed them in a water bubble. I called him through mind link when I saw these lowly citizens of mine.

"Are you alright Alex?" I just nodded and looked at them and spoke.

"Next time you decide to bully someone, identify them first. You might never know that you have already committed treason to the person next in line of the throne in your kingdom." Their eyes fixated at me and I saw a streak of fear cross them.

"I'll report this to Elevi, you go now."

I started to walk away and heard them saying their apologies, but I was not in the mood to forgive and forget. My day is already ruined, and I even thought that today was going to be different. I went inside the practice room and saw some equipment and weapons.

My hands traced the build of the weapons sprawled over the table. Some were familiar to me and some were the opposite. I picked up what seems to be a spear. It looked different from the other weapons, it looked special, the details were intricate and unique. Its sharp edge was made up of what seems to look like a precious metal.

I dropped the opposite side of the spear and the sound it made rang across the room. Unknowingly, I waved my hand in the air and the room went dark. Then a figure jumped and started to attack me. Grabbing the spear, I swung it to the figure and it went through its chest.

Then the next figure came, and it started pouring in. I gripped the spear with all my might and swung it with everything I got. I silently thank my father for forcing me to train and learn how to use weapons as his idea that if my powers takes too long to show, I can protect myself with the weapons I learned to use.

I was starting to sweat and the cape on my back was starting to get into my nerves as it keeps getting in the way. Numbers of figures approached me at once and I decided to charge at them and struck the spear on them in one go.

I fell back to the ground panting; my sweat was seeping into the fabric of my clothes making them sticky. I twirled the spear on my back and tore the cape apart.

The room now had rocky and edgy form and the numbers of figures kept coming. I smirked and charged at the never-ending swarm of figures. I didn't know how long I was training but I was not feeling tired and just by then did I remember that I was supposed to head out to Diane's room early for the sleep over.

I waved my hands in the air and the training stopped. Wiping my body with a towel I carefully placed the spear back to where it was. I picked up the over coat that I decided to remove when I was in training and slid an arm on one of the sleeves and ran out of the room. I got to my room and the clock immediately caught my attention.

It was currently 7:34 P.M and Diane said we should be at her room by 8:30 P.M. I immediately went to shower and put on decent clothing. I heard a knock on my door and since I was still slipping through my clothes, I didn't answer it.

I was too focused on dressing that I failed to notice that the person already came in. When I came face to face to the person I squealed and threw a bottle of fragrance on the person.

"Get out!" I shouted over and over again and losing my composure as if I had one, I felt like my vocal chords were about to head out and say "bye" but I heard no response, so I stopped screaming like a total maniac and I decided to open my eyes only to find Apollo looking at me with a sly smile and to my surprise, he caught all the things I threw at him including my towel.

I immediately felt so embarrassed that I was so sure that my face looked like an over-ripped tomato.

"A-Apollo, w-what are you d-doing here?" I asked flustered by what just happened. He placed the things I threw at him on a small section of the table and looked at me. He looked dashing as I remembered him to be, I felt a warm feeling embrace my inside and I just felt like crying.

"Diane said that I should check on you if you were ready. I apologize for entering freely." He spoke with a smile that me want to hide under my blanket and just wait till I die out of suffocation.

"W-wait, y-you're joining us?"

"You don't want to?" I quickly shook my head like a child and he chuckled.

The things in my stomach started to come back and I felt even more flustered. He walked towards me and reached out for the collar of the top I was wearing.

He started to fix it since I think it's crinkled but it was taking him too long, so I looked at him and jumped when our nose touched.

I blushed even harder and cursed at myself mentally for being so jumpy. He smiled, he looked at me and said,

"You look beautiful Alexander."
