Tap. Tap.
“Ah?” The woman replied in surprise but her expression soon turned amusing.
Nobody really looked at me in the eye. Most were scared and instantly avoided my line of sight. I’m also used to woman only looking at me silently from behind. This is also the very first time I’m in a close range with a woman without feeling disgusted.
Her eyes where in light brown shade blending in with her sand blonde hair colour. It was tied in the commonly used loose fishtail style. Most women would be so conscious and ashamed of their freckles that they would even cower in a corner yet this woman excitedly traced every corner of my face with her twinkling eyes.
“Impressed?” I can’t help but blurt out as she seemed to be so engrossed that she did not even mind our close distance.
Her almond shaped eyes turned round of all a sudden. Surprise, disbelief and panic flashed thru her facial expression.
*Chuckles*
If I don’t have a good control, I think I would have laughed out. I had to admit this was a first for me to find a woman this interesting. I carefully held her waist as I supported her to seat. Her rosy smell assaulted my nose while her delicate waist seemed to sink in my palm.
Soft…. Cough!
“You are Lotte’s erm… friend?”
“Ah… yes, princess just took something inside.”
Her soft shaky voice seemed to scratch my heart. I’m not really used to this feeling…
“I see… will you guys be using this area?”
“Uhm… yes I guess?”
*Chuckles*
She looked like a lost dog… Gripping my hand, I abstained from patting her head. After I gentlemanly curtsied, I then moved back to the library.
I don’t really think she’s a Hallow…
*******
[Crown Prince Lewis’ POV]
I’m so bored lately that I inadvertently wished for something fun and that fun turned out to be the missing sacred sunstone…
Alongside with Lotte and Ghirar, we watched Aero’s every movement from the library window. Regretfully, Aero has his back against us so we really did not see a thing right after he arrived in front of Lotte’s friend.
Tsk. This guy really is no fun!
Sigh, I’m so bored recently and thankfully we have a mystery case.
“What do you guys think about Aero’s encounter?”
“Hmmm? Guys?” Lotte asked confusedly
*Chuckles*
Right, Lotte can’t tell an extra presence as Ghirar was in stealth mode. Purposely ruining the tiara’s position, Lotte seemed to have forgotten my slip of tongue.
“Cousin, don’t ruin it! I don’t care whether you’re the crown prince, I’ll totally punch your face!”
Why was it that if Ghirar was not around this little girl would be so mannish?
“Oh Aero’s coming back…” I pointed out as Aero was now moving back to the library.
Eagerly waiting for Aero’s verdict, we locked our heads towards the door.
“Umm, brother what do you think?” Lotte curiously asked right after Aero opened the door.
Aero looked at us silently for a while before he nodded.
“Hmmm… she did seem different.”
“Right?, I knew something was wrong with Al-Hershey at that moment in the plaza.” Lotte declared confidently as she beamed to her serious looking brother.
“You really think she’s the one?”
Aero seemed to be hesitating but he then nodded after a while.
“Cousin, call big brother Ghirar quick!” Noticing another presence in the garden, Lotte then curtsied and swiftly run out of the library.
The moment Lotte’s presence was fully undetected, a shadowy figure started to emerge as Ghirar remove his stealth. He then calmly took an empty seat.
“Ghirar, what do you think?” Aero’s voice was now tinged with all seriousness. “I know you used your double on me.” He added
Wow! I did not notice that, this little brother surely surpass my mental capacity.
With two pair of eyes fixed on him, Ghirar chuckled as he answered, “Hmmm… I won’t know until I cast Sun God’s blessing.”
“How about Lotte?”
“Hahahaha I knew it!” Ghirar guffawed but quickly answered as Aero was cracking his knuckles with all seriousness. “Lotte is still the same I guess… I also think that she really want to check on her friend. Anyway, it’s rare for you to be worried about a woman…”
“Oh… where you?”
Noticing our voice laced with teasing, Aero returned to his normal cold aura. “Let’s just proceed with trying Sun God’s blessing!” He then marched out of the library without delay.
Ufufu… I think I found something interesting!
