You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 672

Karina even appeared to be spitting venom at me. — "Aware you should be that his interest is not truly on you ninth..." — She had whispered after listening to my conversation with his right hand. I ignored her for no good outcome would come from getting involved with her... yet now as the sun is setting...

’... what is this indifference?... at least he could have told me we would not meet in the end... I feel stupid for expecting a day together...’

"My lady, I will be leaving now so you may rest..." — Paige said, happily and gently. Making me pout and feel sadder since I was to be left alone with my thoughts.

"Paige, don’t leave~ I am sad... can you believe his highness didn’t meet with me today?? Isn’t this too much coming from him??"

"H-huh?? B-but miss... maybe there was... uh, an urgent matter he needed to attend..." — She said, troubled that I was keeping her from leaving.

"Even so! We fixed things yesterday. Don’t you think he could at least send word so I would not wait like an idiot?!... I feel upset that the day culminated like this..."

"M-maybe resting will help my lady find ease... I am sure of it..."

"Whenever I rest all I do is overthink because of him... stay and talk to me... we haven’t talked much about you and Vitor. Won’t you tell me how things have gone between you two?"

"!? A-about that... m-my lady I truly believe you should spend a moment alone..."

"??... Paige are you hiding something from me? For a while ago you didn’t meet my eye... are you in a rush?"

"W-well..." — Nervous like never before she became. My friend, my close friend was having difficulty talking... I watched her become sweaty at my stare... and then it suddenly hit me. The realisation.

"Gasp! Could it be...!?"

"Huh?! W-what is it my lady?"

"If you need to go, do not mind me, Paige! Go! You shall tell me more about it tomorrow!"

"Huh?? I do not understand..."

"It is fine! Go, Paige! I am rooting for you! Everything will go well!! Be confident! You got this!" — Practically kicking her out of my room, I did what I should. Feign dementia to support her.

Paige always becomes shy whenever the subject comes up. Getting her to say she was indeed attracted to Vitor was quite a hussle... if she was acting like this when she usually would happily stay with me... it can only mean one thing to summon such trouble in her cheeks...

’A date... she must have a date with Vitor tonight which is why she’s been acting weird all day! That explains her odd glances whenever I wanted to leave the chambers!’ — Suddenly I felt excited for my friend. At least one of us was doing well romantically... — ’Oh, Vitor, please... don’t lose this chance... Paige is a good girl, she will surely make you happy!!’

I started to pray, even getting mad at the possibility of him refusing her...

’I’ll kill him if he makes her cry... I’ll ask dad to punish him badly... the least I can do is use my status to avenge my friend... a**hole, how dare he...’

Worrying about someone else helped me distract my mind from my heart. It was good a cure even if temporary... hence, I continued to hate the possibility of Paige being rejected.

’Sh*tface who does he think he is..... Making my girl cry... TSK!’ — "I won’t f*cking forgive you! You hear me?! If Paige cries I’ll haunt you to your grave Vitor!! How blind could he be?! The f*cker... Remember this, d*mn it!! I. won’t. Allow. it!"

*Tap tap*

"Tsk! Noisy! Who is— huh?!... Wait, wasn’t that..." — Suddenly, I recalled that noise was one I knew well... and it was coming from outside. I rushed to the curtains, feeling my heart numb my mind with its excitement and stopped right in front of the fabrics... wondering if I had really heard it correctly and it wasn’t my craziness playing games with me. — "It wasn’t my imagination right...? But... it couldn’t be..... Not in this cold..."

*Tap tap*

"!?" — Hearing it again... I now felt faint to even think he was waiting there. My hands quickly moved to pull apart the curtains, eventually finding his golden white hair being combed by the thankfully soft breeze, wearing a cape of grey fur that turned navy blue with the light of the moon, matching the suit he wore so handsomely. Yet, aghast I was... for I could see his ultramarine reverberate in the white background while using a mask that summoned memories I would never forget.

I opened the glass door, glad to see him but concerned by the recklessness in this visit.

"What are you doing?? You should have used the passage. Why would you stay out there in the cold???"

"For you, my lady."

"... haha... goodness... come inside, a cloak will not be enough to keep you warm." — I said inviting him in. Watching how tall and wide he was as he crossed the door. — "It is freezing cold outside... what is this all about? I thought you would not visit like this anymore... and the mask... haha..."

"... would it be alright if I asked my lady to hum a piece? Whichever you wish is fine..." — With a soft smile he looked at me intensely, making me wonder more about what was going on as he ignored my questions... but I found it funny a request and one so simple I did not really care to grant.

"To hum a piece?... Oh, I know." — I chuckled, knowing perfectly... which would suit my feelings and memories... — "mmhm... hmhm~..."

I couldn’t look at him while I hummed, I started walking around thinking about the lyrics in my mind. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

’So bewildered ~... what’s this new desire called? I didn’t know that much..... Yes, you bewitched me...’ — I giggled knowing he was following behind. Humming more and more feeling my voice die out of the emotions the true lyrics conveyed while glancing back at him who made it so significant. — ’Every d*mn second you’re with me... I truly try to think straight, oh I really do....’
