_WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA_
Elizabeth was sandwiched between the wall and Arthur who was so close to her face. Before she could manage to hear his rest of words, her eyes crawled at the end of narrow corridor. Another pair of eyes t her as if knife cut her flesh. Her montum froze when the darkness faded away from that distant face and Alexander's handso face ca in front view.
Alexander was stunned at the sa ti. He didn't expect them to discover together although Arthur's feelings towards Elizabeth wasn't unknown to him. But did Elizabeth feel the sa?
Ignoring his own emotional feelings,he always expected Elizabeth to fall for brother. But when there was actually so signs of them being together, sothing didn't feel right. As if a needle was poking deep inside his heart and made everything uneasy. The world around him stopped moving and he did nothing else but to stare at their almost intertwined back blankly.
Elizabeth parted open her lips feedibly to warn Arthur but Arthur was more reckless man comparing to Alexander. He always had his own ways of doing things. Unlike Alexander who was very considerate before doing a single task, Arthur was much more open minded. He always stick to the decision that he felt right.
Arthur sutured few tis staring down at the trapped woman intensely,
" Elizabeth.. Actually..I..for a long ti...You know.."
The words rolled up to down in his tongue out of nervousity. His grip on the wall started to turn little sweaty.
Damn! Why was it so difficult to tell just few words?
Elizabeth didn't even heed his words. She nervously glanced up at Arthur before trailing her eyes towards the narrow corridor in where she saw Alexander coming in. To her surprise, she discovered that the man had dissapared from the corridor. For so unknown reasons, she panicked eternally.
Did he misunderstand sothing? Or did he go back to inform the Vampire Queen?
Elizabeth mumbled inside not noticing the way Arthur was stumbling on his words. Without wasting her ti anymore, she pushed Arthur away without second thought. Her breathing hitched slightly before muttering to Arthur hastily,
" Broth.. Brother.. Arthur...I think, your mother is looking for ..I will hear from you tomorrow..I have to go.."
Elizabeth spoke before taking a large stride to walk away from there and took the exact root in where Alexander was seen previously.
He should be sowhere around!
With this hope, Elizabeth lifted up her long gown a little and started to take large strides. Behind her, Arthur's expression was full of dissapointnts as he smiled to himself bitterly.
Elizabeth stopped right at the spot where she spotted Alexander earlier. That spot was the center of two different corridors that was accustod to the left and right corridor from the other sides of castle.
Her blue eyes darted back and forth to search for him but found nothing as if he had never appeared. After contemplating inside her thoughts for a while, she decided to walk for the left direction slowly. She continued walking untill she ca to the other end of long narrow corridor and saw the black scnario of city outside. Her face was filled with troubled emotions when she didn't find Alexander anywhere.
Discarding the idea of looking for him anymore, she inteneded to walk away but heard a familiar voice from her back,
" It must feel very romantic to be trapped by a handso prince at the corridor, isn't it?"
Elizabeth almost jumped off in fear and snapped her head in a shot. She saw Alexander leaning against the wall. His dark red eyes leisurely watched her as if he was casually asking sothing.
She pursued her lips to respond but Alexander's taunting words resud. His steps started to get closer as he spoke in a husky voice hinting the obvious edge of mockery,
" Midnight..Alone..Two of us together.. What a fantasy! How was your experience, Elizabeth?"
Alexander questioned from his fury almost forgetting that he was actually trapping her at the exact way that Arthur trapped her before. Elizabeth started to stagger backward untill her back faced the cold wall. The man was looking down at her little weight smiling faintly as if he was uttering nothing serious matter.
Elizabeth almost stopped breathing and tried to beam into a polite smile. Looking up to see his dark vampiric eyes, she muttured oddly,
" I just didn't expect that the crown prince would be so interested in my personal life."
Alexander corrected smiling cringily,
" Personal love life! "
Elizabeth replied fluttering her eyelashes dumbfoundingly,
" How so? Did you hear him say that he loves ?"
Alexander snorted out coldly and looked down at her with warning,
" Why? You were so desperate to hear from him?"
Elizabeth almost laughed out loud at his words. She crossed the arms on her chest together and blurted out unknowingly,
" How about you say those words to ? May be my subconscious mind want to hear them."
_BASARISK KINGDOM, BRIGHTMOON_
Under the pressure of everyone's chirping voice, the inn owner had to prove his prestigious status. Just he didn't take Cedric's last part of words seriously this ti. He thought them as a part of joke and stepped forward boldly.
Jessie had to roll her eyes at the inn owner's nerves. She lazily looked around and found sothing essential to spend her leisure ti.
Cedric smirked before walking in front of the discerned position for aiming knife. Picking up one sharp knife from the plate, he passed it to the inn owner who was full of confidence,
" You first."
The inn owner snorted out arrogantly before accepting the knife from his hand rudely. Entering into the circle, he aid at the board attentively before throwing the knife skillfully. The knife went straight to the center of board but unexpectedly got stuck just an inch beside the centre point.
The audience made a sound of sympathy. The inn owner squeezed his eyes shut in agony and stepped back dissapointedly. He didn't loose hope. He was confident that even Cedric wouldn't aim his target like him so close to the center point.
Smiling at this thought cunningly, the inn owner stepped back and stood few steps away from Cedric's back. It was ti for Cedric.
His lips couldn't stop smiling as he stepped forward before choosing the most sharp knife for himself. Running his finger on its sharp side without being cut, he picked it up and one shot from his grip, the knife went straight through the centre point before hitting the backwall behind the board.
People applauded for his skillful acts thunderously. Jessie's mouth couldn't stop but twitching in sarcasm as she yawned leisurely. The inn owner eyed at Cedric suspiciously. From his perspective of knowing this ga, he could tell that Cedric was being a highly skilled man in this ga.
He wandered what could be his identity in reality!
To save his leftover reputation, the inn owner barked out arrogantly,
" What's so excited about? I heard that our king had never missed a single target in his entire lifeti. Look at this man! He has only succeeded in aiming one ti, you are already praising him so high! Bullshit! "
Still the audience couldn't stop admiring his tactic. Cedric smirked cunningly before reaching out for another sharp knife. He spoke playing with the newly picked sharp knife between his forefingers,
" You are saying right."
He paused before flaunting his eyes up to see the inn owner sharply. An evil grin spreaded through his lips strong enough to make anyone's legs wobbling in nervousity. Before the inn owner could predict his action, Cedric threw the knife aimly straight at the center of his head and resud his rest of words at the sa ti,
" The king has never missed his target."
