√ Your Warmth

(2) Chapter 4- Part 1

A tea party?
This wouldn't end well.
Nox knew the result,
Of this devastating
Plot.

'But, I will change it.'
Nox doubted that,
Would he succeed?

"Who are you?"
Jennette frozed up.

After those following days of sending letters and receiving letters from Obeila, Jennette was happy that she received a invitation to a tea party.

She was able to also allow her brother to come as well. Since, he is still a knight, he will be her escort.

She was happy enough to wake up super early. Waking Nox up from his sleep as well.

She flailed her arms like a bird trying to fly, she suddenly got a snicker from Nox. But it was silent so, she didn't hear any sound from him.

"Look, look, look, I have gotten myself an invitation to her tea party- and she also invited you as well! I'm so happy that I could burst like a sun!"

"Bursting like the sun isn't good for your health, Jennette."

Nox placed both if his hands on her shoulders, slightly calming her down. She sat back down on the sofa, she still bounced on the sofa. She was like a puppy that was extremely happy with it's owner.

"Calm down, Jennette you need to fix yourself before going to the Tea party."

Nox's hands left Jennette's shoulder as he open the closet door to change out. He turned back around to see Jennette staring at him with sparkling eyes.

"But, first before we fix our appearance. How about asking your maid to help you change."

Nox coughed into his hand as he felt a slight pressure from Jennette.

What is this feeling?

It feels like black magic.

I swore that I got rid of all of it, maybe I'll do it after Jennette changes out.

"Jennette remember your etiquettes, you need to be on your best behavior."

Nox caresses Jennette's face, squishing her cheeks together. At the same time he got rid of the black magic residing in her.

"Mmhh mgsiaw keyakacw!"

She tried talking but, because of him squishing and pulling her cheeks she could speak properly.

Nox stopped touching her cheeks and decided it is best to leave her cheeks alone for now.

Jennette touched her cheeks while soothing the pain, pouting while glaring holes into Nox's head.

Then, she softly smiled- slightly lifting her dress up and running after Nox.

"Wait up for me!"

Jennette slightly stumbled towards Nox, almost falling face flat on the dirty ground.

Nox turned around and caught her, sighing he decided to carry her to the carriage.

"It seems like after all these etiquette classes you still manage to not walk properly."

"Wah! It's because you walk fast!"

Jennette half yelled feeling offended by her height. She started to poke her pointer finger into his shoulder non stop, until her finger felt like breaking off.

Nox noticed that her finger was hurt from her non stop poking, she had done. Placing her into the carriage and sat infront of her. Grabbing her injured hand into his palm he held it while it was healing.

Jennette slightly pouted while she stared outside the carriage to see the beautiful view.

"Jennette we're here, wake up."

Jennette groaned slightly from the blinding sun the shined over her face.
Suddenly remembering that today was the Tea party and she also managed to fall asleep in the carriage.

She felt embarrassed of herself for doing that, what of she snored?

'No Jennette, don't think of small details! All that matters is me being in Athanasia's tea party!'

Jennette started to slap both her cheeks with her hands, Nox held her hands to stop her from continuing her from doing so.

"No, time to do this- let's go."

He stepped out of the carriage and held his hand out, so Jennette could be escorted out.

Jennette had safety gotten herself out without getting hurt.

They continued walking together til they reached the garden of the imperial palace.

Athanasia was already chatting with a few nobles while drinking tea. Jennette had bowed when they turned to look at her.

"May the sun shine upon the Obelia empire."

Both Nox and Jennette stated while being sync with each other.

The other noble girls that seen them started to blush from a certain handsome man.

Soon after introductions Jenn sat next to Athanasia while they started to talk about there personal life.

They were all happy until Nox saw something was wrong about this situation.

Athanasia seems to be in pain.

Suddenly a burst of mana came out of Athanasia, Jennette and the other nobles screamed from the sight.

"ATHY!"

Jennette screamed on the top of her lungs, tears started to come out as she tried to approach her.

But, someone had thrown a cloak over her head.

Jennette pulled off the cloak to see Nox walking into the typoon of mana.

"BROTHER!"
