Aera's Pov

It's been a week since that incident happened and Hobi hasn't talked to me ever since.

He didn't snitch to our parents so I'm thankful for that but they can sense the tension between us since he just downright ignores me or does the work silently without uttering a word.

He is very disappointed.

Dad tried to ask him if something happened while we went to the palace but he kept his silence confirming their suspicion but they didn't push the matter any further knowing fully well that the feud will end soon.

Tonight we have our club session and I'm currently standing in front of his room's door, knocking continuously so that he would notice me.

"What is it?" He whisper yelled as our parents are already asleep since it's almost 1 in the morning.

"Why aren't you dressed already? Let's go we're going to be late." I asked even though I'm fully aware of the fact that his stubborn ass won't come with me but it doesn't hurt to at least try.

"I'm not in the mood to go. Goodnight." He was going to shut the door on my face but I quickly put my foot in between and stopped him. He raised his eyebrows at my action.

"Please Hobi, don't be like this. You've been ignoring me the whole week and I've apologized multiple times. I truly am sorry. Just come with me to the club, don't miss it just because you are pissed at me. I know how much you love the club sessions." I pleaded.

He contemplated for a while but after a sigh, he answered, "Wait for me by the gate. I'll be out in 10." 

That made me shriek in delight but he quickly covered my mouth with his hand and rolled his eyes.

I ignored his gesture and happily strolled towards the gate while he got changed.

This was the first time I waited for him because it's mostly me who's always late. I was super excited to go and enjoy myself there with Hobi because I'm sure he will open up to me after a few rounds of drinks.

After he got out we went towards our cart but this time I refused to sit on the cart and instead we decided to sprint to the destination.

We were breathless by the time we reached the house so we sat on someone else's cart to catch our breaths.

As we were sitting there, something felt odd. We couldn't hear the usually loud music and people's chanting from the house.

We both noticed it together which made us turn our heads towards the house at the same time and run to the gate.

At the scene, the color from our face drained. To our horror, the one thing we never wished to happen was before us.

Several royal guards were standing at every corner while our friends and other people were scared out of their wits for their life.

At the center, two guys in different attire were sitting still, looking very intimidating. They most probably were from a high post than the guards.

"Well, you're late today. We and your other friends have been waiting for you." One of them says. I know I shouldn't be thinking about it at this moment but he's really handsome.

I and Hobi just look down, too scared to make eye contact. My legs were shaking uncontrollably and I felt like I would faint any minute.

"Okay, I will cut to the chase now. We have been monitoring your activities for some weeks now and it is the direct order from his Majesty to bring you both to the palace this instant." The taller one announced which made us jerk our heads up.
