A/n : Hi! It's been awhile (again) but I regret to inform you that I probably don't have time to write. I'm a university studying med LMAO I'm dying :")
.
"Cal?"
I was surprised.
Of course I was, who could've thought a prince would be out here during a really important ball full of people he needed to impress?
Nothing really happened after that. I was forced to go back and monitored for the whole night- what's left of the night- by Cal's piercing eyes.
During the walk back to my room, Cal said nothing. By the time we reached the door, I had expected him to leave or say something snarky but he just stood there.
I waved my hand in front of his face.
"Cal?"
"Helloww?"
He didn't say anything. He continued to look at me and I could almost feel the guilt rising up in me-
"I'm sorry, okay? I wasn't going to agree to leaving. I thought about it but I wouldn't just leave you alone like that."
".."
"Cal?"
".."
"I-"
He sighed.
"I thought you would leave. Then I would be alone again."
He kept looking at me with that look, it's a little bit burdensome. I think I prefer his teasing looks better than this.
I don't know what to say.
A hand reaches out to pat my head, "Just.. just remember I'm here, okay?"
And I feel myself stiffen.
I don't belong here.
I have a life outside of this fantasy world.
I don't know how to go back, but I know that is where home is. Even if you are important to me.
Too serious.
Ah. AAAH. I can feel myself screaming -silently, of course- as the sounds of his footsteps get farther away from me.
I really hate this. I don't owe him anything, I remembered to stay a dumb little sister who wants nothing. I'm sure I haven't done anything to make him suspicious of me. And I'm pretty sure I cherish him like a brother.
Does he just really like his sister?
Maybe.
.
It's the morning after, and although my head is hurting like someone slammed it with a baseball bat in a zombie movie, my bad mood is because if something else.
"Come in, Mercia."
The king said, and the knights hurry to open the door for me.
I could see all my siblings inside already, including Cal who was not looking at me and Ricky who can't seem to stop staring. I feel like he wants to shove a sword into me.
"Mercia"
"Greetings, your highness."
"Don't be so stiff, today is a special day. Come closer."
Although I don't like this fraudster looking king who calls himself my father, I don't have the guts to go against him and his 20-something knights surrounding us.
Nor do I really have any reason to go against him.
I walk towards him and I realize that Bianca is also staring at me. The look in her eyes is priceless.
Does she hate me? I don't even know the special occasion, haha. Will it be about that scepter thingy she was so worried about?
Ah shoot
There infact is a scepter thingy on a velvet red cloth inside a box Infront of me.
"Mercia, from today onwards you will be the holder of the scepter. You will weild it with responsibility and pride of a royal and will follow my command when needed."
"This.."
"Rejoice, Mercia. You are now worthy enough to train your powers. The scepter is locked, but I believe you have the power to reveal its true potential."
What
Huh
I don't think I've shown anything really????
"Thanks to Callian, I am giving you this opportunity to test your worthiness. Do not disappoint me."
..
..?????
WHAT EVEN IS THIS SCEPTER??
Admits the urging eyes of the spectators (yes there are a bunch of old men in fact clothing around us), and the scorching gazes or Ricky and Bianca, my hand reaches into the box to take a hold of the scepter.
It's cold.
?
Is this it?
[...]
I hurried to drop it.
What.. what was that?
"What are you doing? Hurry and accept the scepter."
I nod to the king, take the scepter, walk all the way back to my room and sat down.
Huh.
It's quiet again..
Was that just my imagination?
I could've sworn I heard the scepter speak when I touched it.
