Luna looked around the dining room with dull eyes. For Prince Keane to keep her waiting for almost half an hour is unforgivable.
"I'm really gonna get that jerk's ass kicked," she muttered quietly,
Then came loud footsteps from the hallway, Luna started to chin up and get ready to get revenge on the jerk of a Prince but then when she blinked, Prince Keane was already sitting in front of her.
"Waiting for me?" He asked with a teasing tone,
Luna looked away "Hell, no." she whispered,
Prince Keane signaled everyone to come out of the room and leave only the two of them. The guards were on standby outside the doors and the handmaid, including Roxanne, also left the room. Luna started to feast with all the food on the table. Not minding the Prince who is cautious of her every movement.
"I wonder what kind of animal you are," He said with a taunting tone,
Luna instantly got mad and put the chicken drumstick down on her plate "Haw jeyr yoo kompeyr nee two an achimals!" she shrieked with her mouth full,
Prince Keane looked at her and shook his head in disappointment, "How unsightly this is..." he said as he wiped his mouth.
"Grr. This sharp-tongued bastard." she mumbled, "Tch. This brat's brain is thin air." he replied
She wiped her mouth and looked at Keane with brave eyes, "At least I'm not a coldhearted seducing jerk! If you really think so highly of yourself that you compare a PERSON like me to an animal, then you're not a human, at all! What kind of a gentleman lets a Lady wait for him for half an hour." Luna said with an even-toned voice.
"It's because I'm still wondering if you're a herbivore or a carnivore, I don't even know if you have fur or scales or what." Prince Keane said curiously,
Luna answered calmly to end the stupidity of where the conversation was going, "If I were to be an animal, I would be better off to be just a rabbit,"
He grinned, "It's true, though. Those with Royal blood are Animal spirits, If your mom and Dad are the late King and queen of the Vreecs Kingdom, then a big possibility lies that you're an animal spirit, too."
"What--? So you're an animal spirit or something? Do you think I'll believe something so hilarious? Having strong magic inside me is already worse, but now you're telling me I'm an animal spirit?"
Prince Keane drank from his glass, "Yes, I am."
"Oh, that's wonderful. Really." she faked a smile,
Keane rolled his eyes, "This Lady becomes even more stupid when her temper gets to her, tch. I have a surprise for you later, by the way, " He looked at Luna who was angrily eating her food, "You said you want to be a Rabbit, right?"
"They're innocent and cute, what's wrong with that?" she answered,
"Yes, they are. That's why you can't be a rabbit." He smirked, Luna is still controlling her anger to burst out, she's about to kick this man's ass. She kept silent.
"But if you really insist, then I consider you being a herbivore," "Yes, I'm a vegetarian," she said sarcastically,
"don't worry too much, I'll tell the cook personally to only cook vegetables for you, ESPECIALLY CARROTS--"
Luna's eyes widened as she looked at all the chicken and steaks on the table, "W-WAIT!!" Prince Keane looked at her crossing his arms, "Hmm, why? something wrong?"
"I was just--"
A high-ranking soldier suddenly came in. "Pardon my intrusion, your royal highness, Milady." he stopped until Prince Keane signaled him to come over,
"I am here for an official report." The soldier said, being cautious of Luna, "Why are you looking at me?" she said as she finished her meal.
Prince Keane replied, "It's okay, just whisper it to me."
The table is just too long for Luna to eavesdrop on, but none of it matters anyway, it's not like the report is about her. Luna saw Prince Keane's reaction was somewhat angry and sad. His eyes were so scary that Luna's instincts made her hold tight to her armchair.
''What just happened? why did the atmosphere here suddenly changed?" she muttered.
Keane looked at her. Luna don't know why but, his expression and gaze gave her an unease feeling.
"Settle things there, and report to me immediately if there's an update about who did it. Also, get Luna's handmaid."
"Yes, your royal highness. I'll be taking my leave now, please enjoy your lunch, Milady."
Luna nodded at him and shifted her gaze back at Keane.
"Hey, what happened?" she asked without thinking, "Oh. sorry, Nevermind. It's not like it involves me." she chuckled a bit,
Keane sighed, "It does involve you, If I could only have my way, I wouldn't tell you this--" "Stop beating around the bush and be a man for a second, what are you trying to say, you coward?"
He gulped, trying to control his anger. He didn't say anything until Roxanne came. Keane stood up and said,
"Come and just follow me, and I will be with you. No matter what happens." He said in a cold toned but almost comforting voice,
Luna stood up and went to Roxanne, "Why did his attitude change in just zero-point-one second?"
Roxanne shook her head, "There may be something bad that happened,"
Luna looked at her unbelievably, "How could you say that? did he tell you something already?"
"No, but listen. Wherever we're gonna go, just remember what he told you,"
Luna gulped as she could feel the tension was up in the air already, "Okay."
In Luna's mind:
"What did he tell me? there are a lot of things. there's something about the animal spirits. There's something about me being so stupid, wait, what?! And there's something about the herbivore -- urgh! I don't know which one!!"
Keane looked back at the both of them as he entered the Castle's infirmary...
