Chapter 7
Page 65- _A sweltering aura_
"Who's there!," shouted Ayami with a steady voice packed of a gentle tone. Rin on the other hand was trying to slow down her jumpy heart caught by surprise from both the sudden sound and muddling story. Minutes passed but no one replied. Both ladies exchanged glances signaling each other to go the other way. She took the left end while Inata charged at the right. A few stealth steps to the back, one glimpse of an unexpected fella left the maid shaking in shock.
Oddly quiet prince Takami lay in a trance stammering with words, and confined in a chair with stacks of books upfront. From the looks of it, he seemed to have hit the table while standing on the chair trying to eavesdrop more clearly. With twinkling eyes shoved up an innocent smile and frightened look, he looked at Ayami trembling in his khaki summer shorts. As every second ticked by, his face drowned in sweat from both the sweltering heat and the frightening atmosphere hovering around.
Takami.... _I-i didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that i was in here first so....._
Ayami.... _How much did you hear?_
Sharp toned word-missiles launched from the maid's cold smile teeming of horror. Even Haruno was beginning to feel a scary itch.
Takami.... _I-it wasn't mu...._
He tried to weasel himself out but a bad idea it was since Ayami feigned even more frowning muscles. "Is she angry or!?," thoughts crossed from Rintaro to Takami leaving them stoned by unwanted fear.
Takami.... _Ok ok! i heard everything from the story!_
Ayami.... _Thank you for being so honest young prince Kami. But i'd like you to do me one favor._
Takami.... _Y-yes?_
The prince was anxious to hear and no different from Rin, his ears charged straight up.
Ayami.... _I'd like you to keep everything you heard a secret. I doubt it would end good if word about the imperial family traveled to the outside. You do understand right?_
At first the boy's face whimpered only to change in an instant, grabbing a somewhat surly look.
Takami.... _Of course i'll keep it a secret! But what i don't understand is, why didn't you tell me and Kagami anything. Father only told us one thing,"You're not supposed to reveal your imperial identities to anyone”._
Ayami.... _I understand you may be frustrated but keep your emotions in control. We don't want a scandal ok!?_
Takami.... _It's a given i won't tell anyone!. Remember i'm 14 not a kid. But what about Kagami and i? we still need to apologize to big bro Kei._
Ayami.... _Well i don't see a problem with any of that. And even if i told you not to, you'd still tell your twin sister. You HAVE always been a bad liar when it comes to her. And while you're down there, you might wanna tell Keisuke and Takahiro what you just heard as well. I don't think they know all that._
Takami.... _O-h ok i will. See ya later!_
Young prince Kami pranced out the door and just a step outside, lady Inata gave him a few concerns.
Ayami.... _Takami!, please i want you to do me one last favor. Never ever hate your parents no matter what you hear!_
Takami.... _Ehh O-ok_
A deeply serious look descended on Ayami as the prince nodded and pounded downstairs. Her stern eyes burnt with heartfelt emotions maybe from pity or concerns of what the future held. Contrary to the instantaneous moments, Rin gazed towards Inata with a puzzled look.
Ayami..... _W-what is it?_
Rintarõ.... _I've been thinking how much your way of talking has changed, well differently from yesterday._
Ayami.... _Ahaha, and here i thought you were asking something a bit more serious. But i suppose that's what makes you peculiar. Anyway, the other day i was too nervous about the surprise planning so i kinda threw myself into the nervously stiff "me". I become like that whenever there's something on my mind. Pathetic excuse isn't it haha~_
Rintarõ.... _Ohh no not at all. I actually think it's awesome to be able to change yourself. It just means there's no end to how much more interesting you can get._
Ayami.... _Myyy thank you for the flattery. At any rate, i've gotta finish my mystery book here._
Rintarõ.... _Ah before you do that, i've got one last question for you._
She glared at Ayami summoning a serious expression onto her pretty face.
To be continued.......💘
