As the sun shines ever so brightly, we're on our way back to the city with Eloise. But there's this feeling that is bugging me from the moment we left the town. Someone is spying on us.
***
There's an amateur spy following us. Is it because of what we did yesterday? This uneasiness lingers as we walk back to the city.
It was then that the one that is spying on us confronted us. Its aura is somewhat extreme, it's quite suffocating.
"Merciiiiiiiiii!"
Eh...?
***
A man dressed in a woman's clothing approached us, he was quite shining in those clothes of his. It almost blinds me.
"You twoOoO you're a perfect model!!"
His voice has this high-pitched tone, trying to mask his rough man's voice.
"Pardon?"
Eloise asked the man.
"You two! You're a perfect pick to model for our magazine!!"
Ma-guh-sin? What is that?
***
Oh no... I thought these people already left Libertè, but it seems they're still here up and running!
"Hey look at me.."
He squinted his eyes as he slowly realized that it was someone that he knew.
"Eloise?!?!"
"Deadly Romance... Why are you following us?"
"Pardon me, Miss Eloise! But I didn't recognize you! You've become more beautiful than when we last met!"
Really now?
***
It seems Eloise knew this man dressed in a woman's clothing. Is she her friend? Is she-
"By the way mademoiselle! Who might be this gorgeous woman beside you?!"
I looked at Eloise waiting for her answer.
"This is my friend, Celeste, we're partners!"
Somehow, I felt disappointed with her response. No, maybe I am the only one who probably felt this way! Seriously... What are these feelings that bother me?
***
"Ohoho! A friend you say? I know that gaze mademoiselle!"
"Oh really now?"
"Yes! Yes!"
I don't know what Deadly Romance is talking about. But I'm glad that somehow he's still the same Deadly Romance I knew...
"You look at her with a shining gaze, for a cold one such as you. I thought you wouldn't have those gazes! Totally!"
***
Eh...?
"You've been branded as a cold queen, because of your eyes, those shiny sparkling stars on your eyes were only hidden from people, but not from the one you cherish and you care about."
Is she..?
I looked at Eloise as she masked herself with her hands.
"Ohohoho I'm right?! You're rather blushing right now!"
Does that mean that I am also the one that she cherishes as well? We've only met for a couple of days, but I am a part of those people that she cherishes?
"D-"
Eloise is trying to mumble something.
"What is it, mademoiselle?"
"D-"
"D-?"
"Die!"
Eloise's aura suddenly rampaged as fireballs formed around her, she looked at Deadly Romance with an angry but also cherry-red face.
Deadly Romance immediately submitted to Eloise, as he kneeled with his forehead buried into the concrete ground.
***
Seriously... This man has no filters!! I'm still confused about my feelings, there's this urge to protect her but to care for her as well. She's been banished by her people, and I knew that feeling as well.
But also, I've grown a lot close to her. I've vented my emotions to her, but also there's this growing feeling of just looking at her cuteness! She's cute!
"Eloise..?"
I'm frozen by just hearing her voice... Would she be mad at me? We've only met for a couple of days! She'll think I'm a weirdo or something, isn't she?
"Yes?"
"Is it those words he said were true?"
I can't lie to her.
"Yes, all of those were the truth. He doesn't lie unless it's for his gain."
I'm ready for her disgust at me.
She held my hands as she looks at me with a bright smile that competes with the sun.
"I'm glad that you cherish and care for me!"
Eh..? What is this feeling that I feel right now? It's like something bloomed at me, my heart beats as if it were a racecar at top speed. What is this warm feeling that's slowly engulfing me? Whaaaaaaaa-
***
She's blushing... It seems that we feel the same way, though we just met only a couple of days ago, there was this feeling to us that is somewhat common. Is it love at first sight they said?
***
"Sorry for disrupting your lovey-dovey! But, I shall take Eloise now..."
That voice!
I removed my hands from Celestina as I hid her behind me, Deadly Romance was struck by him and is unconscious thankfully.
"Beau... How did you know we're here?"
"We're bonded by the fates Eloise! Nothing could ever stop my love for you!"
"You're delusional Beau."
"Is it her that made you not feel something for me anymore?"
Beau looked at Celestina, who is standing behind me.
"Then I shall remove her out of her existence."
***
I felt a massive wind flush with me, as I looked at Eloise. She was battling this so-called Beau, with only a dagger. Eloise is at a disadvantage with Beau, as he wields a sword.
Their fight is somewhat aggressive elegance, and their styles collide with one another. It's like a choreography of dance clashing with each other...
"You are the one who shall bear the seed of mine... You're a special one, my dear Eloise!"
"You're a dom now?"
They're bantering back and forth as their blades clashed together. Their clash made their blades create a spark that rains through the surroundings.
***
I couldn't lose to this one now.. This time i'll make it right! I'll make it right this time! I'll rewrite this fate written to me, I'll destroy this man to destroy the lingering past that's been in me for years.
"Shall we dance once again?"
"Taking the initiative Eloise? Not bad!"
Our blades collide with each other as the sounds echo throughout the whole area.
"I'll kill that woman right over there the same as I did to Catalina!"
"Try me.."
I slid right through his legs and slash them with my dagger, making him kneel for a moment.
"We'll end this story right here and right now Beau..."
