Chapter 46: A Bit Of Fun
The afternoon started with Elia as she was headed to the library. On her way there, she sees a group of servants walking past her and looked terrified. She looked at them for a while as she kept walking, wondering if sothing was going on. They all looked as if they were getting fired and kicked out of the palace. Vanessa leaned towards Elia and asked, "Are you curious?"
"Is it sothing I should be aware of?" Despite saying that Elia was curious, she wanted to know the reason why but had to act her character of not caring. "That ans yes, I assu?" Vanessa read her mind as the corners of her lips raised. "Apparently, they’re getting fired as they were spies of Count Fredrik and Chief Malzan."
That cleared her curiosity, but then again, it was nothing rare to see in the palace. A person like Elliot would have dozens of enemies, especially those who disagree with the way he thinks. Recalling an old mory, she rembered that ti where the chancellor’s daughter used her room as if it was her own room.
"I see," Elia muttered as she continued walking to the library. It didn’t seem like it, but Elia was in a rush to read a novel she had been saving. The novel was written by a famous ghostwriter, and the way they wrote the novel was as if they were describing the corruption of the nobles. Novels like mystery intrigue Elia to the point she didn’t mind sacrificing her sleep for it.
Elia opened the library door, and as expected, it was empty except for the old librarian lady who goes by the na Baba. When the door opened, she greeted Elia with the biggest smile she had and walked towards her, then held her hand. "You’re here again, darling," She smiled, patting her hand, and asked, "Is there a book you’re finding?"
"I’m here, Baba. Do you perhaps have the novel called dark in the light?" Elia looks around the vast library. If she were to find the novel alone, it might take all day just to find it. Ti is precious and should be cherished each minute.
"Dark in the light...I’m sorry, darling. But then a young man ca and borrowed it earlier," Elia frowned but then shook her head and gave a smile. "It’s alright. I can co back and borrow it. Thank you for your ti," Elia waved goodbyes and walked out of the library with a sigh. Luck wasn’t by her side today. Since the novel she wanted to read is being borrowed, she wondered how she’ll spend her free ti.
As Elia left the library under the tree, she sees Elliot reading a book and stares at him for a while. The cover looked familiar. It looked like the novel she wanted to read. Elia took a closer look at the book, and she was right. Though she had not expected Elliot to read novels. She thought he would be reading books about managent and whatever.
The wind softly blew to her side, making her flinch. She tucked her ear behind her ear and continued walking. Seeing Elliot read the book, she notices that his eyes were filled with excitent. She couldn’t help but giggle as she found a new side to him. That man has problems, but Elia didn’t an it in a bad way but in a special way.
"Princess!" Seeing Elia pass by him, he called her na out and closes the book he was reading. While Elia pretended not to hear anything and continued walking. Her pace quickened, but before she could turn to the corner, he had already caught up to her. "I know you heard , yet you ignored ," Elia stopped walking as Elliot stood by her way. "I didn’t hear," Elia lied, averting her eyes.
"Lies...I noticed you looking towards my direction. Am I that attractive?" Elia continued walking after hearing his self-flattery. "Don’t leave
hanging," Elliot said as he caught up with her pace again. "Are you done?" Elia had enough of him. She didn’t even want to talk to him or see him since she knew things would go like this.
Elliot didn’t feel hurt since he was getting used to the way Elia acted. Just a few more push then maybe one day he would have a place in her heart. For now, he deiced to take things slow. "Princess, why don’t you call
by my na? At least like Sir? I don’t want my title to be said by you. It’s weird."
Call him by na? Elia had decided she will never call that man’s na out loud. If she did, Elliot would be more interested in her, which she didn’t want. "I’m sorry, but I like calling you, You," Elia turned to another corner, making her way back to her own room. But the persistent man wouldn’t stop following her.
If others see the way he’s acting, they might think His Imperial Majesty is a human dog, following his master until they grant sothing to him. "That’s an, but just say my na once," He begged and stood in front of her blocking her way again.
"I don’t think you should force soone to say it, You," Elia said and continued walking, leaving Elliot hanging like an idiot. "Hey, at least once," Elliot said and turned his back, but this ti not following her. But then this is what makes Elia a fun person to play around with. Well, it seems like the calling of his na will be postponed.
Elliot hid his laugh as he covered his mouth. "I wonder what I should do to persuade her," He muttered.
