You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 439

"A meeting... S-she requested a meeting and I... I lost myself to her sound like a fool..." — Blushed by the entranced feelings she provoked, Zeleskiaz felt faint to the anticipation; glancing in the direction she had taken to exhale with troubled desire and hope. — "The surprise left me speechless... yet maybe... Maybe it is time...? Finally time... to give up the patience I’ve stuck with so hazardously..."

— Let us meet there, my Prince... —

A delicious shiver drowned his soul with flatters, fresh in its caress... yearning to hear her voice that felt like a dream again... Soon... to also tell something of himself that with this little exchange conveyed she could now grant answer.

"A word from my Lady... so clear and tremendously bracing..." — Bewitched, Zeleskiaz smiled sweetly to the daydream imagining agreement to the feelings he deeply held. — "... I am not to make you wait."

Eager, he moved focused on where she had told him to meet. Long strides could not allow calm speed... for, illusioned by the expectation, his heart felt like exploding as his feelings overflowed lovely in his essence. Walking fast, even using abilities meant for battle so he would get to the place faster.

And yet, in his path, Zeleskiaz inevitably met her again... for the lady had been stopped by a pair of nobles which she could not avoid like he could.

"Is it alright if I introduce you to my daughter? She has been saying how much she would like to meet and befriend you, Precious Ninth."

’Uh... b-but I...-!’ — Her gaze met his that observed the Lady with fondness while she glanced in hesitation. Receiving his nod... for it was him who would go ahead aware that there would be a delay on her part.

’... I will wait where you told me, my Love.’ 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’! Ngh~ No way... He’ll be there before us...!’ — Regretful as she saw him go to the agreed spot, Marianne accepted the noble’s wish. For it was difficult to avoid as her voice wanted to be kept a secret from others for a little longer.

Hence, even if unwilling, the Lady went with them already thinking of a way to slip from the Hall. Although relieved to know the Crown Prince had learned the reason behind her delay.

’As soon as I get the chance I’m leaving!’ — Marianne told herself, determined as anticipation continued to grow. Not truly listening to those talking to her as something else was keeping her attention even though it took her more time than expected. — ’I’ll meet the daughter and I’ll leave, I’ll meet the daughter and I’ll leave.....’

"Oh! How wonderful to meet you!"

"We met the Ninth and thought of conversing a tad."

’Where and who’s the daughter?!! I want to leave!!!’ — As many ladies were met once they arrived, Marianne thought frustrated and impatient, conscious of the fact that people liked useless talk in this kind of ambience. Allowing only a tad of it before the stack she carried by custom was taken from her pocket so she could abandon their company.

’I won’t stay with you all night! I have better things to do!’

*******

At the solitude of the room he once had taken her from a similar event, Zeleskiaz entered with nervous eagerness, closing the door behind him delicately and quietly... solely to release a deep enamoured sigh that finished with the drawing of a dreamy smile, which ultimately bit his lip from the entrancing anticipation this meeting involved.

’She’s to come here... it almost feels as if forbidden an escape...’ — Deciding to lose hold of the door’s knob, Zeleskiaz turned to look around at the dim room, walking the space they had once filled... arriving at the spot he had embraced her after wishing to calm their concern.

"... Some things are meant to be said with spoken words... such is what once you wrote..." — He recited the sayings she conveyed back then in her stack, amassing lovely warmth, knowing he was called to that place so he could listen to her words be spoken. — "... Like how I love you... how I go out of my way to pursue your little glance and heavenly scent..... How no shame matters if it falls on myself after earning a brief taste of your lips, my love..."

Thrilled to the recall of their concealed tangling within these four walls, what he had not repaired onto until this time was acknowledged while stuffy delight made his smile remain lovely, even as the memories troubled him.

— Grant me another one, my Lady... Here... This time on this cheek... —

*Stammer!*

"?! I’ve done crazy things truly...!" — Embarrassed, his fist hit the frame of the only chair in the dark room by mere blunder. Yet not regretting the actions done for at the remembrance, only love strengthened to the grazes she returned.

The chair was clasped as if it was his support and sighing to the bewilderment that took him over, the night outside was appreciated by his ashamed heat.

Serene, he remained before the window, waiting for the woman’s arrival. Growing impatient as time passed and yet the moon continued to shine.

"... fuhh... when will I see you... I cannot wait to see those pure gems of grey place shame in the moonlight..." — Zeleskiaz sighed with romantic frustration at the wait those nobles had provoked. Allowing the silence to return along the overwhelming softness her image granted... Waiting anxiously... Until the door he had closed suddenly opened to perk his everything up. — ’?! Is she finally-... here...?’

"? Oh... I am sorry. I did not mean to... Hm? Isn’t that his Highness?"

"... What are you doing here." — To the woman, Zeleskiaz coldly asked. Frowning once she entered the room closing the door behind her without permission.

"Ah... I got lost and started to search for a way back to the Hall... Goodness, it is a blessing I could find someone here~"

"... You got lost?"

"Mhm. I was curious about the Palace... and people were avoiding myself... probably because of my provenience..."

"... If you go left you’ll get back, now leave."

"? Why? Can’t we... Talk a little further, Crown Prince Zeleskiaz~?" — Karina, that one who was meant to meet him at this time and place said to the Prince who gave her his back. Coming onto him, surrounding him so his eyes would lay on her... and one-sidedly leaning and touching the vest he wore.

"..."

"I am truly interested in what we could talk about. Your Highness~"
