Chapter 10 - CH9

"Well it cannot be help that your face muscle has given up on your expression" Miss Monica commented on Elestia unusual expression.

"I am sorry about that. That's.....I forgot how to smile....haha" Elestia did tried to smile but all Miss Monica saw is sadness and sorrow.

"It's okay. Everyone is free to decide on how to express their feelings because some might be just a lie. They smile and laugh but inside is a turmoil. They're crying yet cunning" Elestia could see a sign of anger and hate through Miss Monica words.

"You....nevermind" Elestia gave up on her idea on asking her and decided to wake Miss Rania up. When Rania woke up, it's already four in the evening. She was so ashamed because while she was sleeping, Elestia has finished all of her works.

"Thankyou for your hardwork" The officer with a smiling eyes gave out a dangerous vibe but Elestia ignored it.

"As I thought, she piqued my interest" He said to himself after the two girls walked away after reporting their duties for the day.

"You better stop whatever is going on your mind, Diego. She's not someone to that we should touch" Clara said warning Diego.

"Oh hoo? Did someone from the higher up locked her?" Clara stopped her hand from doing her work and smirk with a thousand secret behind it.

"Fine, fine. I won't but really....is my guess true?" Diego sweated a little thinking that he almost get himself into trouble.

"Who knows?" Clara finished her daily task and walked away without answering Diego.

When Elestia arrived at her current home with Kiel, She heard a laugh and it's soft and gentle laugh.

"Seems like he's having a guest. I should go home too" Rania said to Elestia and she was about to nod until she heard someone else voice.

'Carmila?' Elestia stopped her hands before unlocking the front door and in instant she already dragged Rania away from there.

"L-Lady Elestia...wait...wait..." Elestia keep dragging her and only stopped when she suddenly bumped into a hard wall or so she thought.

"Are you okay my lady?" It's the current Captain commander of Magic Knight. It's an official army of Fiena empire. They're labelled as one of the strongest magic knight beside the Great Wizard Army.

"Lucius Claude" The man in front of her was so handsome and his eyes is to breathe taking.

"Oh? this lady know my name?" Claude words did not match his expression.

"Huh-" Elestia shivers under those cold gaze. Her mind run wild while thinking for an excuse but her stupid mouth speak faster than her mind.

"T-that....ugh....I love you" Rania who was watching from the first was so shocked.

"E-elestia?" Rania eyes turn into circles and so Claude but the awkward atmosphere was soon ended by the sound of someone laughter.

"I-I sorry... HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA....C-captain....look how much terrified this lady of you that she confessed out of nowhere" Claude was a little annoyed by that person words but looking at that girl pale face just confirmed the fact.

"Thank you for the confession. So shall we go on a date right now?" Elestia was confused at first but couldn't help and nodded at his words.

'She was there anyway' Elestia is more unwilling to see them. It's Lucia and Carmila.

"Lady?" Claude called for the pretty girl beside him. She has a silver hair with a light blue coloured eyes. It reminds him of someone but failed to remember who.

"I-I am sorry... I was distracted" Claude chuckled and suddenly entangled his fingers with her which really startle her.

"Since we're on a date, let's enjoy ourselves" While staring at this Man infront of her, Elestia could not help but get shy.

'Damn this heart....why are you thumping so hard' Elestia looked down all the way to their destination. Rania and Relo was following from behind as both of them get into more awkward situation.

"Aha...I am sorry about my captain" Relo said to Rania as she becomes redder than ever.

"I-its fine" Rania walk a little faster but Relo could catch up easily with his long legs.

"Having long legs is convenient" Rania said out of nowhere while pouting in jealousy.

"Nah...everything has it's own good and disadvantages" Relo walked beside her with his hand neatly tucked inside his pockets.

"If only I'm taller like Lady Elestia" Rania finally looked up and Relo saw her real face.

'Bang!' An arrow was shot through Relo's heart. It's thumping so hard that he blushed from ear to ear.

"Ah!" Rania hide her face away with her bangs and continued to walk leaving the love-strucked Relo.

On the same time, Kiel was a little anxious that Elestia was so late and decided to eat his dinner first with the two newly appointed Saintess along with the crown prince Felix.

"Seems like Elestia gonna be late, let's eat our dinner first" Kiel said to them.

"Sure. she must be so busy today" Lucia said with a smile on her innocent face as Kiel felt a little weird inside his heart.

'So pretty' That is the words Kiel first think of seeing her smile but soon he brushed it off when he remembered Elestia.
