Novel Boss
Chapter 10
I feel like a prisoner with a serious crime right now.
Even though I didnt do anything wrong but I cant face my father right now. Father, I didnt force him but he begged for it himself!
F-father, this is an accident I walk away from the evidence besides me even if its too late after then I walk to my father grabbing his shirt tightly.
I understand, Shiwa. Its normal for children to lose control because of hungry like this. I must give my apology due to Shiwas improper manner, your Highness
Its not like that!!
Im not wrong here!
Its not like that Luler tries to say something to diffuse the situation but
Wait for a minute!!
If I go with the flow maybe this engagement can be broken and this is an important bargain to use against my father. I quickly use my hand to cover his mouth preventing him to speak any further!
Father, I didnt mean to do it but I cant control myself
UMMMM!!
Doesnt this mean Prince Luler isnt obligated to engage with me anymore because were even now? This engagement can be broken off, right?
UMMMMMMMM!!
Why do you have to squirm so much!? Dont you see that Im helping you out right here! A kid your age will not understand the feeling of having to engage because of a politic!
Shiwa, you dont want to engage with the prince to this extent? My father looks at me with distressed eyes. Its not good to cover gentlemans mouth like that
Even if his face is smiling, I know that hes teaching me right now.
Normally, he wouldnt mind what I do but when he wants to admonish me, he can get intimidating.
I apologize, father I put my hand back at my side and trying to be quiet.
How could I forget that Im still a child in his eyes?
And that action earlier is very childish. Its not like me at all.
If both of you dont want to engage, I can speak to the king about it
but I dont want this engagement to be broken off. Why do we have to break off this engagement, Shiwa?
If you ask me about the reason
I can make a list of one hundred reasons and shoved it at your face!!!
Father, Can I talk to him in private? It will not be long
if thats what you want but you shouldnt bite him again
I will not bite him!!!
Haha, Im joking. Its not that often to see you act like a child. You can give your answer to me when both of you are ready. AhI will go back to my darling now
My father closes the door quietly. Although he likes to act leisurely all the times, I am no match for him at all. Does he know that Im not like a child because Im not really a child from the start?
But that can wait
Luler, we have to talk
I instantly turn to the source of my problem but he doesnt answer back at all and made a pouty face at me.
Whats he pouting about!?
Listen here Luler, we are too young to be engaged
This time hes using both of his hands to cover his ears. W-what? You dont want to listen to me!?
Luler! You have to listen to me. This heavily affects our lives in the future
Then what is my status when I come to see you? If we arent engaged to each other
What?
If we arent engaged to each otherwhat reason can I use to see you?
If the person in front of me isnt 5 years old kid then I pretty sure hes flirted with me.
You can come to see me every day even if we arent engaged. Do you like it?
No
Why dont you understand that
ThenIt wouldnt be special anymore
What?
I wantto be special
Dont speak using your voice like that
If not, you will
If we arent engaged, No
SighOkay. I will not break off this engagement
make me soft-hearted.
Do you think that my 20 years old heart will be hard as a rock or something!? You have to think it again! The older we got the less resistance we have to the children.
Oh well, Im confident that nothing will happen to me as long as we are close to each other. Luler likely wouldnt harm those who are close to him.
But they say love makes a person blind.
Even if he falls in love with another girl, Im ready to call off this engagement right away.
Because of that
If I leave it like this, Its going to be okay, right?
our engagement is still going on.
A few weeks after that, Our engagement is officially announcing at the tea party.
Im still Shiwa Garnet, Prince Luler Fay Midens fiancee.
This isnt a game but we live a real life here. Those officers didnt read a script from the game to speak their thought and there isnt any animosity between prince Luler and me.
This innocent-peculiar relationship between us that cant be called a love yet.
To tell you the truth, I dont think I can love anyone again.
but Who knows?
Phew
The crystalline blue curtain is drifting apart as a gust of wind flows past. Groups of Lotus are gracefully blooming making a white aura in this ray of moonlight. We can see a group of fish swim elegantly in this translucent water.
In that place, exist a man with long black hair. The color no different from this night sky. His black eyes appear to be as peaceful just like his heart. Hes wearing a comfortable black outfit with a cloth drafted gracelessly over his shoulder.
But It doesnt matter to him at all for whats he wearing because his gaze focuses intensely on the mirror in front of him. In the mirror, Theres a picture of a girl with wavy pink hair matched with a red attire.
In the party, her gaze seems to absorb the surrounding in a strange way. Even though shes only a child but her gaze contains a wisdom thats only an adult should have.
Hades sits on a white chair while he takes a look at the mirror. In the afterworld, nobody would disrespect him as hes the ruler of the this world.
click click click
The owner of this sound is walking toward him. He bears a close resemblance to Hades especially with his black hair and black eyes.
Why arent you sleeping yet, Metis?
Father, I want you to reconsider your decision about the soul again
Metis, everything is in the hand of fate and nothing can resist that. Do you disagree with me?
Why are you silent? Do you disagree with me?
Metis stands still, even if his eyes cant reflect anything but it clearly shows the concern deep in his heart.
I wouldnt dare to think like that, father
Good, I hope I dont have to hear about this again. You should go to bed.
Yes
His determination fades away even before he opens his mouth. Sensing theres nothing he can do about it. He walks away and disappearing into the darkness leaving Hades to sit alone in the ray of moonlight.
The moon looks beautiful tonight. It would be good if we can see it together, isnt it?
He lightly touches the surface of the mirror.
Sometimes, Fate is a wonderful thing
But Its also a scary thing beyond ones imagination.
