The captain's question also soon becos a question inside my head. Why do I always have the urge to follow him? Why do I have this feeling that we sohow knew each other in the past?
What is wrong with ?
"Speak at once! I don't want my ti getting wasted in this nonsense!" Captain Alex roared as soon as his temper snapped. It's kind of weird that I didn't flinch at his voice, or it did not startle at all. I feel this unusual feeling that I am sowhat used to his ill-tempered manner all along.
After being silent for a while now, I gathered my courage to speak. More people are now flocking around us as a result of the captain's outburst just now. All of them are exchanging whispers to one another that I may have so serious trouble with the law or anything of that sort.
With a straight face, I finally mustered the will to speak my thoughts out loud.
"This may sound weird, and I am fully aware that you may not know well the sa way that I do not know anything about you, but"
"Get straight to the point already! Geez!"
"Alright, alright. Don't be such an ill-tempered captain, will you?! " I countered then paused for a mont. Oh no. did I just talk back to the captain like that? I wondered how did I get that courage huh.
From what I observed with him, he did not seem to be mad at at all, so I carried on and advanced a few steps forward towards him without minding the people around us. The captain, on the other hand, seed to mind the prying eyes and ears of the crowd, hence he suddenly creates a wall that totally isolates us from the rest of the residents.
"Well, that's a relief." I blurted out. He only glared at as his response so I proceeded right away with what I am about to say to him.
"Lately, I have been seeing you in my visions every single night without really knowing who you are. In my visions, we talked as if we are close to each other, laughing walking side by side, and I even saw you look drunk once in my dreams and we were just staring into the night skies while we're sitting on so sidewalk."
I paused for a mont to see his reaction. The captain's lips are surprisingly parted, his eyes wide-eyed as he looked at straight into my eyes.
He didn't seem to have anything to say at the mont and just waited for to continue, and that's what I did.
"I have been seeing my alienist for quite so ti now, and he strongly suggested for to et the person in my dreams and see if there is anything I will learn from you" In this statent, I looked at him hopefully, waiting if there is anything he would like to share about, but he speak nothing and imdiately crushed my hopes away.
With a sigh, I delivered my last statent. "Well, that is all. I have to go now"
Yet after I said that, he did not barge and just stood his ground, like his brain is still processing the things that I said just now. As I was about to get ready to break free from these walls myself, I felt sothing warm that touched my right hand
"Wait!"
Upon looking, it's his hand that is now gently gripping mine. I instantly felt the tingling of my skin, like my body already got used to his warmth that I imdiately felt comfortable under his touch.
Before I knew it, all those hidden mories that were stored deep down in my subconscious mind are now starting to resurface in a series of flashbacks. Captain Alex must have felt it too, for he also has that bewildered reaction that is sa as mine as we t each other's gazes.
["W-Why are you crying, mister?!"]
["Do you really think you can run away from ?"]
["I am Lancelot, archbishop of Citadel. Then that is Alex, captain of the magic army. And this is Lucas, a royal counsellor."]
["We will need your face"]
["Ladies and gentlen, I present to you, Prince Arthur Spellman of Gilead!"]
["You're just a re replica of the prince and master wizard!"]
["I'm sorry Krisella For dragging you into this."]
["...thus he called it our secret hideout."]
["I must hurry"]
["... I am definitely certain that I like you, Alexander Crimson. I like you very much."]
["...because we all got your back, Krisella."]
["Dear Diary"]
["Do you know anything about dreamwalking?"]
["Goodbye my friend."]
["You have to run out of here! Right now!"]
["You You're sick! How could you do this to all of us?"]
["... I'm afraid you have to be put to sleep."]
["Goodbye, Krisella. It was nice eting you."]

As the flashbacks slowly fade away, the realization from all of it beca stronger inside . With a downcast face, I tried to process it one by one. This is too much for to handle that I am now starting to have so severe headache from any of this.
All those things that I have seen just now. They are real! I beca part of a secret mission of impersonating the prince and master wizard! I know this guy after all, and we were THAT close with one another. The culprit! I now have an idea who that was! And this diary! I have to get it so that I can read for myself what are the things I've written there! Not to ntion there is this secret hideout that only and this guy knows that we all have to visit!
The only problem is If those things from my vision are inside the castle, how am I supposed to get my hands into it?
"Like you, I have also had these constant visions of you every single night from the mont I saw you back there at the antique store. I never knew why, but I felt as if you were a part of my life"
His hand that was once in my right hand slowly made its way up to my chin and gently lifted it up for to et his gaze at once.
"Alex" I called out his na like it is a natural thing for to do.
"Krisella" Alex's voice now was full of pain and longing as what I am also feeling right now. This heat between us is so overwhelming, that I do not know what to do anymore.
"I don't know what might happen to us after this, but before it becos too late, I want you to know that"
Alex's face is surprisingly beet red at the mont, but his eyes are not backing out. As he tried his best to maintain his composure, his face slowly leaning in towards mine. All I did was to close my eyes and wait.
"... I love you, Krisella. I really do."
Before I knew it, his soft lips ca crashing into mine. From being gentle, he pulls in closer to him as he deepens the kiss, our tongue fighting dominance with one another. I completely surrendered myself to his touch, not really wanting to be away from him any longer.
After a few monts, he breaks free from the kiss and it gives us a window of opportunity to catch each other's breath. However, I noticed that his eyes are steady and is eagerly staring at , like he wants to say sothing else but is trying to hold himself back.
I reached out for his hand and gently caressed it. "Hey, what's the matter?"
I saw him blush for a split second, which nearly surprised . Him being the proud and once arrogant captain of the magic army, blushing in front of a girl? Impossible!
At least, that is what I wanted to believe.
When he didn't say anything, I pushed him even more. "Co on now, what is it?"
"Well, I was wondering" Alex paused for a mont, as if he was thinking of the right words to say. "Would you like us to go sowhere else away from this crowd around us?"
Normally, I would have trouble understanding what he ans at first then he would eventually explain it for while frowning for being slow to understand. But now, I seriously get what he ans now the first ti like we are sharing the sa thought at the mont.
Like I've said, our visions are sowhat interconnected with one another long before all of these are happening It's like, we are ant to be together at so point.
"Yes, please."
I saw the great captain of the magic army smirked before snapping his fingers right away. There was a change of scenery after that in a flash.
One look at my surroundings and I imdiately know where we are right now without having been told.
We are now in his room
