Chapter 683 - Zestful

"Someone's happy."

"Kain, even in the darkest times; you have to be. Their have been a few things I have been neglecting and not been able to focus on, but now…..with all the Maics coming to life in the school; they can focus on the inside, while we all return our attention to the outside. As it ought."

"But that means leading, and maybe the possibility of…"

"Don't you like a challenge, Kain? Isn't that why you came here in the first place?"

"Ummmm…..Yeaa. I mean…..*Ererrhmmm. Of course. Who doesn't like a challenge? Leading and to lead is all that's good."

"You sound like you don't like what you were born to be? For me, this is all I was taught."

"It's not which path you walk on, but who you walk with; so I guess....if you're happy....then I can be happy to. Even if it comes to this."

"What would you rather be doing?"

"Elwin, you might not believe this; but..."

"You are the rebellious, spoiled bratty Prince that people always hate but can't seem to run away from?"

"How'd you…"

"Girls' third eye. Comes in handy a lot. Get some sleep, Kain. Tomorrow, we show everyone why we not only deserve to be here; but why God made us born this way."

"How is a bratty Prince and a by the books Princess supposed to teach a…..not so by the book stuffy Kindgom?"

"Opposites attract, Kain. You're thinking of this too hard."

"....I am, Natysh?"

"Yes, Kyle. I'll be fine."

*Gulp*

"....Alone....Unguarded, and unprotected? But what if....I need to go get Rainbow. She will know what to do. Where even is she? What if she..…"

"Kyle, that's what our extended family is for. Our Servants provide more than enough."

"Still would feel more comfortable if I..."

"And I would feel more comfortable if our Kingdom also had someone by their side. I'll still be with you."

"But what if you unexpectedly aren't?"

"Then it will be a good day."

"I think you and I both are thinking of two totally different definitions of a 'good day'."

"I hope we're not, or else this will be a loooooongggg wait."

"What do you mean wait?"

"Ruby, I know you don't like to, but unless we pray for a miracle, I don't know how we can get everyone back together and moving again in time to open less than a month."

"So what are you saying? You giving up?"

"No. Just changing course."

"....In what way?"

"You'll see. Goodnight, Ruby."

"Goodnight, Rainbow."

….*Tick….tick….tick….tick....tick...…*

"Shluuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssh.

Aaaaaaaaghhhh.

I wish I could sleep.

*Tick*

Ouch. What the hell was that for? I didn't....oh no. That's going to be a problem. That's going to be a biggggg....problem."
