Nyx just arrived at the Heilige Manor.
She looked around and saw Rodney along with Max, got out of another car and was walking towards her.
Kira who was beside Nyx saw that her ladyship is frowning and seems to be in a bad mood.
She asked Nyx "My lady are you okay? Is something wrong?"
Nyx looked at Kira and shook her head replying to her.
"Its nothing."
Nyx thought in her head 'Stay calm! Stay cool! Nyx dont blow up your fuse.'
She really doesn't want to make a scene but her emotions are out of her control.
She doesn't want to go meet his apparent in-laws. Hell, she wants to go and break their engagement for f sake.
Taking a few deep breaths, she tried to control her emotions.
A man in her 50s wearing a white buttoned-up shirt, and a black vest on top, also black pants and shoes approached Nyx and gave a bow.
After giving a bow the man said "Welcome, Lady Nyx Aurelia-Rose Prince to the Heilige Manor."
The man said giving a gentle and kind smile to Nyx before continuing.
"My name is Thomas Bartholomew Wilkes. I'm the Chief steward of the Heilige Manor. Please, welcome and follow me inside Lady Nyx."
Nodding to the man Nyx followed him. Rodney, Max and Kira were behind Nyx following her by keeping a distance of a couple of metres away from her.
The Heilige Manor was exceptionally beautiful. The interior decor of the manor had a mixture of medieval and modern design, the modern decorations are highlighting the medieval times.
This made her feel nostalgic a bit, she felt like she was back in Arterra for a second.
Sighing, she followed the butler.
They arrived in the hall room in a couple of minutes.
Nyx saw a couple chatting together, while 2 women wearing maid clothes were standing behind them.
Noticing us, the couple looked at us and smiled.
The butler Thomas greeted the couple "Madam Heilige and Sir Rook, Lady Nyx has arrived."
The woman beamed with joy and responded to the Butler.
"Oh! Thomas! Thank you." Said the woman wearing a green gown.
"Ah! you look, just like your mother Nyx." The Woman said looking at Nyx who just arrived.
Nyx didn't know what to say or do, so she awkwardly stood there and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh my! look at my manners, I apologise! let me introduce ourself to you Nyx. My name is Ursula Margaret Heilige and this is my brother Donovan Harith Rook." The woman introduced herself and the person beside her.
Nyx nodded and gave a smile and also introduced herself.
"Nyx Aurelia-Rose Prince" Nyx said.
The Woman gave a nod and asked Nyx.
"Was the journey comfortable? Are you tired Nyx? If so please do tell, we will arrange everything for you."Ursula said to Nyx.
"Not at all, Madam Ursula. The journey wasn't bad I'm not tired at all." Nyx replied.
The three of them talked for 15-20 minutes about themselves.
Nyx told her about herself and her life at school, while Ursula and her brother Donovan they kept on chattering like crazy.
That Donovan was same as Ursula, he was chatty just like Ursula. She learned both of them are twins, and they are exactly like the same chatty, fluffy and bubbly people.
They also talked about Sabastian a lot, like they were drilling everything they know about Sebastian onto Nyx.
Nyx learned that Sabastian is a quiet young boy always in his own world but a dear good boy they claimed.
After another 20 minutes or so they called for Sabastian.
A young boy similar to her age arrived and greeted Ursula and Donovan.
Nyx saw the boy, he was wearing a white shirt all buttoned, white pants and white shoes.
His figure was similar to Aaron but had a bit paler skin. His hair was completely white and had a cute face with pink lips, his innocent ocean blue eyes were capturing all of her attention like as if it's magical.
With one look people will think he's not a human but an angel.
'Damn! he's beautiful AF.' Nyx said in her mind.
Sabastian looked at Nyx, noticing her gaze he gave a brilliant mesmerizing smile that made her go 'Doki Doki'.
She cursed in her mind when she thought how beautiful he looked.
The boy introduced herself to Nyx and the others.
"Hello! Welcome to Heilige Manor. Nice to meet you, My name is Sabastian Franz Heilige."
Giving a nod to the boy, smiling Nyx introduced herself to him.
"Nyx Aurelia-Rose Prince. Nice to meet you, Sabastian."
After introducing herself both Ursula and Donovan started chattering once more about Sabastian and the Heilige Household and its history blah blah blah.
Another 20 or so minutes later, Ursula asked Sabastian to take Nyx to tour around the Manor and talk or play.
Both Nyx and Sabastian nodded.
Sabastian then asked Nyx.
"Then, come with me Nyx. I will show you around the manor."
Nyx giving a nod and said "Sure."
Following behind Sabastian they left the hall.
They toured the manor until they were in the garden.
There was no one in the garden.
Both of them walked towards the patio and sat at the table.
They talked about school and about themselves.
Nyx told Sabastian that she goes to Carson Quinton De'ville High School in Country O.
Nyx learned that Sabastian doesn't go to school but only on the day of the exams.
The reason being, he doesn't like the school. He can learn from home and take the exams when it's time for them to take them.
Running out of topic, she asked Sebastian.
"I can't help but ask, why are you so pale and your hair is white? It's really odd and unique, do you have some kind of disease?" Nyx said looking Sabastian, she doesn't know why? but she feels weird. It's like she knows the person in front of him, which is weird? she never met Sabastian.
Hearing Nyx, he gave a smile and replied.
"I don't have any disease or anything, I was born like this. I know it is very odd and unique but there's no other reason, I'm just born this way." Sabastian said.
Nyx frowned then thought for a while before taking a deep breath and looking straight at Sabastian's Ocean Blue eyes.
Nyx exhaling her breath, she said looking at him.
"Surely, you must know why I'm here? I will go straight to the point. I don't want to marry you or anyone else. Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying I don't like you or anything but it's Impossible for us. So I want to make make a deal with you. Help me pretend for a few years, then break off the engagement." Nyx said seriously looking at Sabastian.
Frowning Sevastian thought for a moment, before he said "Why? Why it's impossible for us and what does it benefit me, if I cooperate with you? What can you give me?" Looking confused Sabastian asked.
Giving a smile to Sevastian Nyx replied.
"The reason? why? It's simple, It's Impossible! I Nyx Aurelia-Rose Prince doesn't have any romantic interest towards boys or men, I'm a lesbian." Nyx said to Sabastian.
There's no way in hell, Nyx will get together with a man. Even though Nyx is female, but the soul inside Nyx is a male soul. So there's no way for Nyx to be attracted towards men. Nyx and Aaron both like women.
Sabastian was surprised at first then he nodded.
"I see, so thats why. So what do you propose for the deal to have your freedom to get yourself free from the engagement what can you offer me? " Sabastian tilted his head bit and cracked his knuckles on his left hand by making a fist, he gave a smile looked at Nyx's cerulean coloured eyes.
Nyx looked at the smile and frowned.
'That tilted twisted smile?' She was looking at Sabastian deeply with a serious look.
Sabastian seeing the serious look on her face he thought.
'she must be thinking of what to offer him right?'
On the other side, Nyx was clearly thinking of something else from what he is thinking.
She was not thinking of what to offer instead she was thinking of about the action he did and about his twisted tilted smile.
Then finally it clicked in her mind! she raised her eyebrows in shock.
She looked at Sabastian with eyes full hope.
That twisted tilted head smile and that popping knuckles by making a fist with the right hand.
She took a deep breath and said with a quivering voice.
"The Idiot King shat on his pants on the day of his coronation."
Sabastian instinctively shouted hearing what Nyx said.
"I did not!!! I accidentally sat on horse manure!! God damn it!!!"
After shouting, Sabastian looked at Nyx with a shocked expression.
Trembling Sebastian pointed his finger at Nyx and said with a shaking voice.
"Ian?"
Nyx feeling relieved and assured gave a sad smile tears were forming in her eyes.
"Basti!"
