[This happened before Rao and Colt      

sneaked out]

On a clear Night time,

Evething was quiet.

No sound of living.

Colt slowly opens the door of their room.

There were more soldiers sleeping inside.

He quietly walks away.

Just when he reached the middle of the road,

He heard someone's footsteps following.

Carefully not trying to alert the stalker,

Colt pretends to walk.

Unexpectedly, He turns around to see the stalker.

But no one was there.

A confused expression came across his face.

He turned around backwards to keep walking

Someone was already standing there in 1inch apart,

Aide, "Surprise~"

Colt got scared.He backs off while taking deep breaths, "Why would you suddenly appear like that!!

You scared me to death! "

A, "really...(๑• . •๑)

Where you going at this hour?"

C, "…None of your bussiness.

Arent you supposed to leave with Prince Neth?Why are you still here."

A, "I dont know...

He suddenly came up to me and orders to stay here tonight. Could it be, He did it so that i can stay with you(^V^)"

C, "Nonsense...

Stop following me. If you wanna stay then go inside. An outsider arent allowed to walk around late at night."

A, "I want to accompany you~

Anyway, I have something. You wanna see?"

C, "…",  Colt moves away to show an expression of 'not interested'.

A, "Ta~da"

Aide puts up  two baby squirrels out from his pocket.  Their eyes were sparkling along with red and fluffy cheeks. That could be the cutest thing Colt ever saw in his life.

C, " (OMG!!⊙▽⊙~\(≧▽≦)/~  SO CUTE!! Ahh! I WANNA CUDDLE THEM⭐⭐⭐)"

"(No. I cant do this infront of him. I have to maintain my cold side. I cant expose my soft side. I should control...)"

A, "You like them? They're cute right?"

C, "What's so special about them. Just annoying animals."

A, "Dont be so cruel. Look at them~ "

He takes the squirrels more close to Colt. It was already hard for him to control yet The close appearence made it more difficult.

At last He gave up and asks for them. Aide gently puts them in Colt's arm.

A, "Be careful, They're babies."

Colt smiles while patting their fur.

A, "It's rare to see you smile. You wanna keep them?"

C, "No thanks. I cant seperate them from their mother."

Aide walks a few steps closer to Colt. Even though it was just for patting the squirrels, Colt looks up to Aide's eyes while he was busy with them and starts blushing.

After a few moments, They sets the squirrels free.

A, "If you're just on duty, I'll go back. Sorry to bother you."

C, "(I...never saw him so polietly talking...

Far as I remember, Aide always flirts around. Is he...looking up to the reality now...?)"

Aide wasnt trying ask again about the leave. Just when he was about to walk away, Colt calls him out,

"Would you like to come with me?"

A, "…"

C, "If you want to..."

A,"Sure. I have nothing to do here."

Not knowing where Colt headed, They kept walking without a stop.

Everything around them was quiet.

wind was blowing away the fallen leafs.

Finally, Colt's steps stopped.

Aide looked up.

There were infront of a graveyard.

A, "(Graveyard...? Is he planning to bury me? )"

C, "You sure about following me...?"

A, "Right now, There's nothing better than that."

Aide's words made a slight move inside Colt. He suddenly blushed all across his face. Inorder to hide it , He increases the speed of his steps.

At last, Colt stops infront of a grave. The grave belongs to one of the soldiers of Rowan kingdom.

He quietly took a flower out from his pocket and placed it infront of the name blade.

He bows to show respect. Not knowing anything, Aide followed him. He noticed the name blade has the same surname as Colt's. It was easy enough to guess that The grave belongs to Colt's Father.

C, "(Father, I've yet upholded your name on this Rowan soldiers squad. Even If i fail to protect this kingdom in the future, I'll never betray this land. I hope this betray may never take place.)"

A, "(His name was highlighted on the martyrs's list on the last war. No wonder why Colt always tries to show his Cold and hard side. It's because he cant ruin his father's reputation with his playful personality. He is indeed a respectable soldier in our history.)"

C, "Let's go. I cant keep you for long."

A, "You wanna stay here a little longer...?"

C, "Nope. It's enough."

A, "I dont wanna leave yet... Let's sit beside the river."

Colt couldnt show any disagreement in his

behaviour. He quietly walks beside the river with Aide.

The moon was shinning on the plain and quiet River.

They sat beside It. Staring at the fireflies flying around the grass.

C, "(Im usually so ignorent toward Aide but...Today, Having him beside me...feels different...)"

A, "So...You just grew up In Rowan kingdom?"

C, "-_-"

A, "I mean, Most of your families are from here. Could it be...You're half Royal?!?~^O^~"

C, "(Half royal?! What is he thinking...)"

"Nah~  My father was the first soldier in Rowan kingdom from my family. As far as I know, There's no one else except me.

What about you, You grew up with Prince Neth?"

A, "...One of the soldier's family from North Kingdom adopted me. Cause they wanted to be part of Royals. But, I was never good enough..."

C, "Nonsense. You're The crown Prince's personal soldier. There must be no one better than you in North."

A, "It's what the others think.

I was a normal student in Royal school.

One day, Neth came up to me and challenged me to sword fight.

Maybe I was lucky and won the challenge.

The king praised my skills and made me Neth's P.S. against his will."

C, "(That's why Neth still calls him 'servent'...)"

A, "What about Prince Rao? You guys look close."

C, "Yea....We grew up together. He kind of shares everything to me."

A, "You're lucky to have a master like him. "

C, "(It feels so good to have someone I can talk with this carelessly.)"

A, "Colt?"

C, "…"

Aide came closer, "Can I..."

C, "…"

A, "Can I protect you?"

C, "(   (≧﹏≦ )   )"

"Let's go back!"

A, "but...I havent finished yet-"

C, "Rao! He must be looking for me. We should go back!"

A, "Cant you tell him to wait? We barely talked."

C, "(Again with the flirty side...)"

"If we stay any longer, Someone might think we're close to hang around with each other."

Aide moves more close to his face,

"Then you can proudly tell them,

We're more than close = ̄ω ̄="

Colt pushes hin away, "I'm leaving!"

A, "Fine.

Looks like I'll follow you again."

C, "Nonsense."

—— Later they reached Rowan palace and parted.

Colt Found Rao. they sneaked out to the roof.
