"Your majesty? What has gotten into you?" Salvino asked me
I was really angry I couldn't speak. I just clinched my jaws
"I... might have to tell you something else!" Salvino said
"Were you trying to hide something else?" I asked
"I didn't want to worry you, but... but your mother might have been badly injured!" He said with a worried face
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" I asked
"Please calm down!" Salvino said
"THEN STOP HIDING THINGS FROM ME!" I said
He looked at me with a sad look on his face, but the whole trip, I was glaring at Salvino
"You are going to burn me with that gaze, my guy. Calm down!" He said
"That is improper speaking! And how can I not worry?" I asked
" Wow~ the guy himself says improper!" He said sarcastically
I looked at him, angry, then I smiled.
"Yeah, I sure shouldn't be talking!" I said while laughing
Meanwhile, with Ethan and Marina together
They stared talking after a long silence
"I really hate your guts. Did you know that?" She asked
"You think I like you?" He said sarcastically
"Why would you even come with us?" He asked
"It is none of your business~" She said
"Do you perhaps love the prince?" He asked
"..."
"I mean, why would you even be that nosy? You aren't nosy at all, so~" He said
"Shut it!" She said
"He is out of your league. He is the prince and I am sure the future king!" He said
"Why do you care?" She asked
" You are my so-called fiancée!" He said angrily
"By name only...and I do like the prince, what about it? I am just going to help him out!" She said with a hurt tone
Ethan looked shocked
"YOU... you... How come? You changed a lot. You were that cold woman. How come you became so emotional!" He asked with such sadness in his voice
"I am sorry if I come off as cold to you. I really don't mean it!" She said with such a soft tone
He looked at her confused and then smiled
"I am rooting for you, lady Marina!" He said with a happy tone
"Wow~ You are such a softy yourself! Didn't know that, " She said sarcastically
He laughed and then added
" Let us be friends," He said
"Sure, I don't mind!" She said
We finally arrived
Marina looked at me with concern
Marina then asked, "Are you ok, Calix?"
"I am ok!" I answered with a forced smile
"So we are supposed to split into two teams, one in this path and the other team in the other path!" Ethan said
"Why would we do that?" I asked
"There might be intruders!" He said
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" I asked
" I am not completely sure if there are intruders, but there might be! Just so we can be safe, we should take our time and be careful!" He said.
