TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Fifty Three: who tho?

"Then don't go under the table." Lucas huffed. They ate the food and left to see the market again.

Arthur had ran off to a store filled with swords and shields- taking Lucas with him by the collar. The boy magician had said- and I quote.

"YOU BETTER DOUBLE PAY ME FOR ALL THE SHIT YOU'RE MAKING ME GO THROUGH!"

Athanasia was in a bird store. Colorful cages filled with colorful birds in them. Admiring them. There she was almost caught by Ijekiel and ran off to a book store.

"That girl." Lucas tutted. The two boys were looking for Athanasia and wandered around the market. Arthur had three news amazing swords in a bag and it was obvious he was happy about it.

"Don't worry. Although she may act dumb and is a klutz. She's intelligent. I'll go this way and you go that way. By sunset we'll see each other at the fountain."

"...fine."

Lucas watched as Arthur walked away. His hand waved and placed a tracking spell on him. He already had a protection spell form Claude. So he wouldn't worry much about him.

Athanasia? Sis, where you at? He said in the mind link. He sighed when there was no answer. The mind link wouldn't work if the triplets were far away from each other. They estimated that they could only talk to each other in the palace grounds from the east wing and the west wing.

"Damn ... I miss Angel." Arthur muttered. The trio were never separated this long from each other. Last time Athanasia and Angelina cried after seeing Arthur being away for 16 days to Zen's kingdom. He missed them too.

They were each other's pieces. Three pieces together, complete. One gone, not complete.

The young prince was now looking down and didn't see where he was going until he bumped into someone-

Hard. Falling down on his butt, he let out a hiss and bit his lip to keep himself quiet.

"I am so sorry- Arthur?"

Looking up he saw Ijekiel looking down on him with his wide golden eyes filled with surprise.

"Hehe, hey Kiel. Fancy seeing you here." Arhutr smiled sheepishly.

The golden eyes were now filled with worry, he kneeled and offered his hand.

"I am so sorry."

"It's fine, dude."

Ijekiel pulled him up and he patted his clothes, brushing off the dust. Arthur chuckled and placed his hands on Ijekile's forearms and said.

"You don't need to do this here, Kiel." Why are you tall, dude.

"Why are you out here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well ... this isn't an ... appropriate place for a pr-"

Arhutr placed his hand on his mouth and shushed him.

"The fact you still recognized me without my eyes is impressive but also because we've known each other for nine years- of course you'd recognize me. Anyways- gah!"

A man bumped into him, Arthur was now on the floor and Ijekile had never been angrier. The man scoffed.

"Watch where ya standing, brat."

"What where you're walking, bastard." Arthur said back with anger in his tone.

"What did ya say you-"

"How DARE you." Ijekile's voice cold and sharp. It surprised Arthur since he never saw this side of his best friend before.

"Guards! Arrest him!" Ijekile's ordered. Three guards came out of nowhere and took the man away. The man was yelling and shouting names at them. Arthur looked at his friend who was panting in anger, his fists clenched.

"Uhh- Kiel?"

The silver haired boy turned to him with an upset and concerned face.

"This place isn't suitable for you." Ijekiel pulled the shorted boy against him and held his hand.

"I'll take you back to the palace." Then walked off with Arthur behind him. Pulling him by his hand.

Arthur?!

Athy? What took you so long to answer?!

My bad I almost got caught by Ijekiel so I had to take a detour. I found Lucas but where are you?

Let's say I'm with Kiel, right now.

WHAT?!

I literally bumped into him and he's taking me to the palace.

You can't go with him!

I know, I know. It's not sunset so U'll meet you two at the fountain okay?

Alright. Lucas is worried about you.

Tell him to cool off.

"Kiel? Kiel, wait! Buddy- oof!" Ijekiel stopped and Arthur hit his head to his back.

"Jeez, how many times am I going to get bumbled into today?"

"I apologize-"

"Kiel. I secretly came out today and if you take me back now, I'll be in real trouble."

"How did you get out of the palace?"

"With Lucas's help."

Ijekile's frowned at the mention of the magicians name. His grip tightened around Arthur's wrist.

"Ow. Buddy, my wrist needs to breathe."

"Right... ."

"I have to go to him so I can go back to my room. I'll see later tho."

"Even the princesses are interested in him... ." Ijekile mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. So will I see you at the festival?"

"Duh. It's the only day in the year when all our friends can come."

"Of course."

"See ya." Arthur hugged Ijekiel. The taller Boy hugged him tighter and then let go. He watched the prince run off.

The prince's hair was almost sparkling at the sunset and as if stars were around him. Ijekiel sighed and tired to calm down his heart beat.

"What is wrong with me? First with the princess now the prince? What next? The second princess?"

°any thoughts on the last part??? 😏°
