Salvino gave me a day off, and of course, I wanted to do something. I mean, what I always do is train, it was tiring
I heard heavy footsteps running towards me.
Salvino barged in
"OH MY GOSH, I FOUND HER HIGHNESS...I mean your mother," He said
"WHAT... YOU DID?" I asked
"I am not so sure if she is there, but for the past few years, she has been living in a palace in the middle of a forest!" He said
"HOW...how did you know?" I asked
"I asked the guy that delivered letters to me! (The secret guard)" He said
"Then?" I asked
"LET US GO! "He said
"I AM READY LET US GO," I said
Marina wanted to know what this noise was all about
"Salvino, where are you going?" She asked
"We are going to find Calix's mother," He said
"CAN I COME TOO! "She asked
"No...no you can't it is dangerous! "He said
"Salvino, I am literally a beast. I have a nature to protect myself. How can't I protect myself?" She asked
Salvino hesitated but nodded and said "Yeah...ok let's go." He sighed a huge sigh
He whispered to himself, " This is going to be bad!"
Huh, why did he just whisper that?
"YES!" She said
I don't know why she was so excited but she was too excited.
Anyways I was worried about my mother. I hope she is doing fine
In front of the mansion, there was the guard waiting
"Hello, your majesty prince Calix. My name is Ethan and I am a Duke, " He said
"Nice to meet you your grace" I said
Ethan was a tall, charming guy with dark blue hair and grey eyes.
"Why is Lady Marina coming with us?" Ethan asked
"Don't be rude, sir Ethan. You know what I will do to you if you blabber a lot!" She said
"Yes, my lady, I am sorry!" Ethan said
What was that atmosphere? They both look pissed at each other
I whispered in Salvino's ear and asked,
"What is up with them?"
He looked at me confused and then said, " The secret guard happens to be Marina's finance!"
"Oh... I thought she was still finding someone to get engaged to," I asked
"Well, they don't get along well, so they might call off their engagement, and he is seriously annoying! I didn't want my sister to come with us because of him, not because I was scared that she might be in danger!" He said
"And why is that?" I asked
"She is one strong woman!" He said
"....oh, you are not kidding?" I asked
He shook his head left and right with a serious face
I looked at her
She doesn't give off that vibe at all !
She looked at me and smiled, and I hid behind Salvino
"Hey, Prince, be a little manlier than this !"He said
"What are you saying? I am tough!" I said
"Yeah... yeah, sure!" He said
"If you and her fought, who would win?" I asked
"Of course me!" He said
"Is it because she is a woman?" I asked
"Nonsense, my teacher is a woman! She made me learn a lot of fighting techniques. She made me who I am now! " He said
"Whoa~?" I said
They walked in front of us.
Salvino and I walked next to each other
"HEY YOU! COME HERE, " He said to a servant
"Yes, sir! Do you need me in something?" The servant asked
"Can you get us two carriages?" He asked
"Yes, sir!" The servant said
"Why two?" I asked
"It will be uncomfortable, and I want to talk to you in an important matter!" He said
What could he want to talk about?
"Yeah, ok, sure!" I said
The carriages arrived while we were standing awkwardly
"Don't you dare talk to my sister badly she will beat you if you do and I will help her, I warned you!" Salvino said
"I... know!" Ethan said
Each one of us rode the carriages
Ethan with Marina and me with Salvino
We began our trip
" Am I more handsome or sir Ethan?" I asked
" Why would you ask me! That is weird, man!" Salvino said
"I didn't mean it like that..."I said
" I know what you mean! You like my sister. " He said
" No, I don't!" I said
"Yes, you do! Don't lie and don't give me. I like her as a friend!" He said with a smile
"Doesn't matter she is engaged!" I said
"Like I told you before they will call off the engagement! And looks aren't all you need to attract a woman. " He said
" Like you are the one to talk!" I said
" Hey, that is rude! I want to focus on my work. I don't have the time to marry, " He said
"Have you ever liked someone?" I asked
"This talk is nonsense. There is important stuff we need to talk about, so focus!" He said
Why was he trying to avoid the question?
"OK... OK, I will focus!" I said
"ok, so describe the beasts attacking the village!" He said
"There were different looking beasts they often attacked each other as well their eyes were red and they had fangs, The other ones had a very weird eye colour it looked rather scary and they had foam in there mouth like they turned vicious! " I said
"WHAT? Oh my!" He said with a bit of disturbance
"What is it? Is it that bad? " I asked
"You don't know the difference between those two because you haven't seen your form yet, but... The ones that were like me were normal beasts. years ago, we had a contract with humans and the contract was that beasts don't harm humans, and in exchange, we can live freely, but people still haunt us down because they outnumber us If people know about this! War is going to begin!" He said
"Do you mean..." I said
"I mean, the other ones that turned vicious had something put in their food!" He said
"Like the food that get sent to them effects them especially?" I asked
"Yes!" He said
Beasts eats like normal humans but they eat mostly meat and the food that gets sent to the villages are probably drugged they either drug every kind of food and humans get drugged but they aren't affected or they drug the meat only...That is some dirty work right there!
