On the 20th day of December, our holiday break has officially started at last. My forr plan of applying as one of the maids inside the castle was imdiately rejected by Alex due to the fact that it is very dangerous and that most likely I might encounter Lancelot and his minions a bit earlier than we had originally planned. It was then decided that we have to wait at least on Christmas Day to strike.
While I wait for the said holiday, I was told that I should practice more often in terms of casting powerful spells both in defense and offense as a way for to survive in my upcoming battle. In the anti, I am currently seated in my bed with my father's spellbook clutched in my hands as I try to review all the spells that I had to bear in mind.
In the midst of my study, I was suddenly frozen into my place just by rely thinking of my father's death. I still can't believe that all that I know about his death is just a lie. For all I know, mother doesn't even know about this does she?
I looked at my calendar that is currently pasted on the wall. Christmas Day is just around the corner, and I must be prepared to sohow avenge my father's death by ans of killing the cause of it and everyone else's death. Even if it is not my style to take soone's life, I know I have to do it eventually or else, evil will only continue to spread across all nations.
Sadly, I sighed, "How unfortunate. I even have to do this on my birthday."
After that, I continued to read the spellbook in hand while taking a sip of my favorite hot chocolate that I personally made earlier.
Bam!
Sothing imdiately caught my attention that made swiftly look in my right to where the window is located. My eyebrows were drawn together as I wondered what the heck just happened.
Bam!
Oh, there it is! I just saw a pebble that was purposely thrown at my window, making stand up from my bed now and walk right towards the door to see who is it that causes trouble outside my apartnt.
As I leaned in the window closely, I was sohow taken aback right away as I saw the figure of Alex waving excitedly outside. Once he realizes that I already saw him, Alex hurriedly puts back his brown beanie as a form of disguise, I suppose. That made smile and tried my best to change my clothes as fast as I could to et up with him imdiately.
"What do you think you are doing here?" I imdiately asked as soon as I was able to see him in person. Alex is surprisingly dressed like a commoner today, with a long-sleeved brown trench coat over his black polo suit and brown slacks and a brown beanie over his head.
Frowning, Alex replied, "What do you think I'm doing here, dummy. Of course, I ca here to see you!"
I rolled my eyes at his sarcastic answer. "What I an is that you could have just teleported inside, you know."
"Still dummy as always." he pursed his lips together and playfully poked in the head. I swatted his hand right away. "You know that I really can't teleport whenever I want. That would cause mana and energy. Geez."
"So that's what you really ca here for? To remind how dummy I am?" Now it's my turn to frown and was just about to turn my back on him when he reached out his hand and grabbed by the shoulder before spinning around to make face him once more.
Almost reluctantly, he uttered, "No that's not what I ca here for."
I folded my arms over my chest and raised an eyebrow at him. "What is it then?"
"Well"
Seeing the almighty captain of the magic army being this shy in front of brings in so much happiness inside my heart that I almost cannot contain it all inside . Who would have thought that I would end up being with him after all the trials that we have encountered in the past?
"I am a bit stressed out already by all that's happened in my life these past few days, and I know you have been encountering the sa problems as well. Therefore, I thought I could invite you to the Christmas Carnival that was newly built in the heart of Central Town..."
Oh my, did I hear it right? This lad is inviting over to have so fun in the Christmas Carnival?
Impatiently, he added, "So what now? Are you coming with or not?"
Ignoring his outburst just now, I bead, "Of course I will go with you! I'm all set for now anyway."
"Really?" His face lit up and a smile widely spread across his face for the first ti since I t him, like a kid who was just given a promise by her mom to buy him his favorite toy. "Well, that's great. Let's go now before a lot of people show up."
To my surprise, Alex reached out for my hand and imdiately intertwined his fingers with mine as soon as we started walking. That ward my heart and made smile at him.
When he sees this way, he arches one eyebrow at "What?"
"You said yourself that you're rarely nice. I say you are rarely this sweet in public."
"Yes, that's right," he said without even trying to deny it. "But there's always an exemption to everything, no?"
"Yes," I said. "I suppose there is"
We continued walking like this until we were able to find a carriage that would take us to our destination. I am so happy right now that I'm afraid I might not contain all the joy I am currently feeling inside of .
If wishes do co true, I would certainly wish for this mont to never end...
