Dragons and Witches

CH.31

Darkon was leaving.

Argentina was walking back and forth, he was actually leaving.

Biting her nails she kept thinking walking back and forth not stopping.

Where was he going?

She thought as she paused for a minute, then felt frustrated and thrashed her head.

"You look so funny walking back and forth like that." Merla sat there looking at the girl who was walking back and forth in annoyance, "don't focus with me, I am just thinking about something." Argentina didn't stop voting her nails. "Hey, Merla." Argentina perked up. "Yes?" Merla answered confused at the sudden change of demeanor.

"You are a princess, right? So, you can talk to your aunt and get to know where Darkon is going." At the twinkling eyes Arfentina had, she stopped and thought that she was going to be so sad to tell her that she couldn't help her.

"I am a princes, but more than anything I am a guardian, and once I got that label, I stick to being equal to every one I am training with." Merla explained regretfully.

"But, you can just go and know where he is going, no one wants to say anything. And Darkon is getting ready with guards. He is not even training us anymore." Argentina was so curious she was going crazy, she wanted to know where he was going so badly. "Why are you so relent to know?" Merla asked, "I am just curious." Argentina answered but her mind was thinking about something else. Then she started walking towards her door.

Merla followed her and once she caught up to her she sighed, "wasn't knowing that Darkon is not a danger to us not enough?" Merla walked next to Argentina to god knows where. "Enough for you, not me." Argentina continued walking, "besides, I told what Darkon told me about himself and he is a dragon that chose the human side. But that's not why I am curious. I am curious because I want to know where he was going." Argentina continued making Merla groan in frustration.

As Argentina kept walking she could see a commotion happening outside of Darkon's study room, many maids were standing with bowls of water that was tinged red. Argebtina stopped suddenly making Merla stop abruptly, smaching into Argentina's back, "hey, why did you st-‐" Argentina quickly turned and put a hand on Merla's mouth. "Shhh..." as she said that Argebtina dragged Merla to a corner to look at the scene happening.

Merla moved her head to look at the scene Argentina's hand still on her mouth. "You think that this is acceptable!" They could hear shouting from the inside, maids and butlers looking worried, one of them was Kera who stood outside with authority and a frown on her delicate face.

"I don't know, but I remember something similar happen before. The second time I came here." Argentina whispered.

Merla roller her eyes and moved Arfentina's hand away forcefully, "you could have said that without blocking my airway passage!" She whispered shouted at Argentina. Argentina just smiled sheepishly saying a quiet sorry before a shadow fell on both girls.

"What are you two doing here, now?" Kera said with a smiling face her hands on her waist. Argentina and Merla turned slowly before looking at Kera with smiling guilty faces, "nothing! We were just strolling." Argentina was the quickest to come up with an excuse, Merla just nodded aggressively.

"Well, you shouldn't be walking around here, so better go back to your chambers, don't you think? Hmm..." Kera was still smiling when she said these words, but Argentina and Merla felt a ghost like shiver run their spines, Kera was actually scary with how sweet but strict she was. And somehow they always went with what she wants as her eyes are very terrifying even if she was smiling.

"Sure! We are going right back!" Merla said grapping Argentina's hand and turning walking away as fast as she can, Argentina behind her. As Argentina was walking, she saw Cherie flying around the castle looking at Argentina and gesturing for her to come. Argentina stopped again suddenly making Merla annoyed. "What now?" Merla said turning to look at Argentina, "you can go back, or come with me. Cherie has something to show me." Argentina stated not paying attention to Merla as she jogged towards Cherie's direction. "Hi! Cherie." Argentina had a gentle smile as she waved at Cherie. Cherie smiled and bowed making her lose her balance and turning upside down flying. She quickly adjusted herself shaking her head making Argentina chuckle.
