The name, it sends a really warm on his heart.Butterflies dancing inside his stomach as his emerald eyes can't take off his vision at one of the picture drawn.
Gold hair, gold eyes that resembles the stars.Straight nose, perfect jawline with the vibe around this male was screaming perfectionist while wearing the Imperial Clothes.
[ IMPERIAL PRINCE Arthur Throndsen ]
He waa definitely handsome, but he didn't wore a smile and just stared infront with an icy cold eyes. It feels like his soul was dead, but there's him breathing.
The Author is really good at imagination, he can see all the details of the man on the picture and saw three words at the corner of the picture.
' I Miss You '
Does this person have someone special?Or maybe he just miss his family?Don't know since he didn't even get to read it!
Suddenly, Creed appeared on the staircase with something on his hand. That book he saw earlier!Where it was located at one of the tables downstair.
"It seems you are focus at that picture rather than the story huh?" Creed stop infront of the table with a huge smile on his face, to the point it looks very creepy in the eyes of Azazel.
"I just open it and saw this in the first place.Who is he?Heck, the Author really knows who to pick as a protagonist, I can't wait for the female lead." Azazel said, picking up the picture and place it on his pocket.
"Oh, about that.There is female lead and there's only two actually, Arthur and Caspian." Creed sat down his butt, placing down the book beside the table.
"Where is it?Oh, wait I found it!" Azazel exclaimed happily, he turned the page and saw a postcard and flip it to show a female?
Azazel look at him, one of his eyebrow arch and looking at him 'really?'.Did he really lie that there's no pocture of the female lead when in fact there is!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Creed asked, drinking the orange juice.
"You said there's no female lead pocture but what the heck is this?" Azazel showed him the picture and all did Creed did is laughed at him. He suddenly choke on the juice, Azazel said that he deserve it for laughing.
Creed wipe off the liquid on his mouth, still gigglong like a school girl. "You know that person is Caspian?He's a boy."
It was Azazel turned to choke, again looking at the picture in confused.The picture was really a girl! Or maybe it's not seeing that there's no bulging boobs.
Or is this female only flat chested, but Creed confirmed that this person's a boy.
Dazzling bubblegum pink hair that have a red clip on his hair, even in the picture, you can see that the male's eyes are sparkling.
Pale white skin clashing with the pink tint of the cheeks, and the really warm smile, even warmer than the female who he saw with his young mother version.
And there's also words at the corner of the picture.Instead of being amaze, a sudden sadness rushed towards him when he saw different words at the back.
• We miss you Caspian!
• Hope you like it there buddy!
• I'm jealous because he have wings now, he can fly finally.
• I'm sorry
• Wait for us over at the other side Caspian!
It was a warm heart feeling, but what's with the sentences?And there's also an apology from one of the words.He was wuiet sad despite. ot knowing why, it's just this person must be loved very much.
Creed noticed the male expression, he was actually hurt too seeing that the male thought that those words are only fake and somehow it was reaching towards him.
"Who was actually this person?Did the Author write those words?" Azazel asked, flipping the picture again and stared at the beautiful human being in the picture.
"That is....Caspian Smythe, the one who saved the Imperial Prince life and became the most love character in the novel." Creed smiled, taking the picture from Azazel hand and stared at it.
He is still the most beautiful human being existed, it was just sad that this person was...
"Wow, he is really beautiful ha!I might be gay for him." Azazel joked, picking up the book and started reading it.
Creed smiled weakly, before staring at the picture again with a deep meaning behind the eyes. His eyes glance again at the book he retrieved downstair, The Koschei Manuscript.
"Actually, did you know there's two version of that book?The other one have the female lead while the other doesn't have one?" Creed pointed out, placing the picture at the table beside the Koschei Manuscript.
Azazel stop reading and glance at Creed, again his eyes flickered to the book and to Creed.
"There's another one?Where can I find it?"
"You don't need to find it since you already have one at the Castle.You just need to look for that person to retrieve the other book."
Azazel mouth drop, before closing it again and stared at the page 15, where Caspian save the Imperial Prince with Ice magic!
"There is?Then, can you help me find that person? And who's much more popular between the two book?"
"I can't help you find that person, but I think that person will make the first move before you, the one you holding right now are only limited version so it was pretty rare to find, and this library literally have alot of it, almost every bookshelves have one."
Azazel can only nodded in response, he unconciously grip the book before he continued to read the novel. Which he can't focus at all because of the things Creed said to him and heck he thinks they are not actually at the main topic of this little adventure!
"You don't have to read all of it, you can just take it home and also take this home too."
Creed slide the other book towards the male.
"Is that what you retrieve earlier?" Creed hum, placing a cookie inside his mouth, looking out the window.
Azazel was also started to get tired and an idea pop into his mind, he close the book which gained the male infront of him his attention and flip the book, then opened the last page.
"Are you kidding me Azazel?"
Azazel only gave him a smile, before landing his gaze at the words written in the book.Oh, he actually regret reading the last chapter.
"You didn't tell me about Caspian death!Oh gosh, this is so annoying!Heck, Eli was the traitor all along?" Azazel grip his hair in anger, looking up and down between the latter and the book.
"Yep, suprise right?Oh a—"
"He fell into the water right and Alistair was stab and was drowning on his own blood.It was also the same one in the newspaper!"
"What the heck did you said?Newspaper, where?" Azazel stood up and grab the Newspaper at the other table and gave it to Creed, pointing at the headline which is familiar to the novel.
"That!Caspian also fell off from the bridge and Alistair was lying in the ground."
Azazel sighed deeply, popping a cookie inside his mouth and slump towards his own chairm.Too tired to move around despite just sat down and did all the reading.
Creed forehead creases, his eyes scanning the headline over and over again.He flick his eyes upward and took a quick glance at the male who's busy balancing cookies.
So, this was the reason why the citizens—
"I think the author took the reference of the headline and put it on their works.Does this book have another series cause I bet there's more than that!Did they find their bodies?!"
Azazel asked alot of questions, but Creed patiently answered all of it.
"Maybe, but there is no next part of that book.It was all a mystery for what happened next,"
"That's a bummer..."
"Okay, we are really getting out of the main topic here again, so just like what I said.There's two history were erased because of how worse it was and killed millions of people, to the point humans were endanger becauase of the possibility of extinction." Creed said, tapping the table with his fingers like he was drumming.
Azazel listened very carefully, it was this moment that he was really interested at the information Creed is going to give him.
"Wait there are two?Then, what's the first one?" Azazel was aboit to sneak his hand to the bag of cookies but he pouted when there's no more cookies left.
"The first one....Actually have something to do with this." Creed pointed out at the Koschei Manuscript laid infront of the both.
"This?" Azazel pick up the book, inspecting it with his green orbs, slightly humming.
"Yeah, the book contains the demon king childhood and how he became so...you know, evil and merciless and it was all because of a—" Suddenly, some footstep entered the silent library.
The two look at each other in panic, quickly the two clean the table and went into hiding behind numerous bookshelves.
This was suppose to be abanonded right?
But, who the hell entered the place?! Nervous emerald eyes scan the stairs to see the person appearance.
Creed, crouched down and grab Azazel hand to crouched himself too.Then, they heard different voices.
"I saw two person entered here!"
"Tsk, how many times have I told the both of you to guard this place well!"
"W-we are very sorry sir!"
"I was just gone for 6 months and the place look horrible?! I am not afra—" Suddenly, another voice came to the picture.
It was gentle but there is also warning place in their tone." Vlad, please stop. The yelling won't make them stop, it's best to just calm down for a minute okay?"
"How can I calm down?! We need to cherish this place because this is the only one that left Caspian memories is!"
Azazel ears perk up and was confused.
Just like in the novel, there is also Vlad and Caspian name mentioned.Creed grip his hand very tightly, Azazel saw Creed shaking as his eyes were tightly close.
'He must be scared.'
"Khairro, you too, know this place is very important to Caspian and me, out of all people, his friend can't calm down because this place look utter horrible!" The man voice boomed inside the library, it was also too powerful to the point he can collapse this place.
"That's why we need to calm down okay?You're scaring the guards."
Suddenly, a book fell down inside the bag.
