Back to you in every lifetime (Vegaspete Ff)

Chapter 57

Pete's POV

One month has passed since my injury and I am totally cured and back on my feet.

Today is my first day back to work and I feel so much better, I was miserable trapped inside that four walled bedroom of mine.

Cyneric is also very busy nowadays. He only stumbles into my bedroom late at night, tired to the bones and crashes on my bed and falls asleep immediately.

Oliver and Phi had their own work at the castle so they rarely got the time to give me company. So I was alone all these days.

Henry however was much of a help as he kept me the most company.

He is a soldier and whenever he  did not have a shift to guard the castle he would come to me to spend time with me, telling me what he did the whole day.

Henry really is a sweetheart, but Cyneric doesn't have to know that, or else poor Henry will potentially lose his job.

Anyways today I am back to work and I was given very light works and I was dismissed way earlier than other servants and Oliver somehow managed to manipulate the head servant to give him early release too.

So I and Oliver decide to have a chat in his room.

"Asa you know that witch Salvia was actually eyeing Joseph's arms. I was thinking only think "Miss I would like to see you try" but-" Oliver's ranting halts when a knock resounds on his door.

Oliver rolls his eyes and says "Must be Joseph"

Oliver strides towards his door and I try to suppress my laughter at his funny style of walking.

He looks like a clown.

Oliver yanks the door open and a foreign voice says "Hello sweetheart"

I see Oliver going rigid and my smile drops as well.

The voice does not belong to Joseph.

I peek at the a little to get a view of the doorway and my eyes widen when I recognise the person.

Its Emil.

Emil's eyes snaps in my direction and he smiles "Oh pretty- I mean Asa is here too?"

He then looks back at Oliver and whispers not so quietly "Should I come back later darling?"

My eyes widen when Oliver's ears turn red and instead of being disgusted like I thought he would be, he looks almost shy?

What in the name of Jesus is wrong with Oliver?

"N-no. Asa was just about to leave" he mumbles.

I was infact not about to leave anytime soon.

But I got a feeling that Oliver very much wants me out of here right now. So without much more delay I scurry out of his room, bowing to Emil on my way out.

When I have walked a few distance from Oliver's room, I hear his room's door slam shut.

I look back, hoping, praying that Emil is still standing there and did not went inside Oliver's room.

But to my utter disappointment, Emil is not there.

Meaning he did went inside Oliver's room.

I am still walking forward with my neck straining back when I slam into something, or rather someone.

Two strong arms come around my waist to steady me.

"Woah love, be careful. You just healed if you walk this carelessly you may get injured again" Cyneric's very familiar voice whispers in my ear.

My turn my head back to look at his silly grinning face.

"What is the matter love? You look like you saw a ghost" he says laughing a bit.

"N-no, nothing is the matter" I mumble back.

Trying to convince both myself and Cyneric.

"Your expression says otherwise my love" he says and I shake my head.

"Nothing just a bit tired" I reply and he nods his head.

"Understandable, after all you are back to work after such a long period. I did order them to not give you too much work, didn't they obey me?" Cyneric says and I roll my eyes.

Ofcourse he was the one who gave the head servant the order to go easy on me.

"They did, do not worry about it" I say, with a convincing smile and Cyneric nods his head.

"Anyways, come with me I have to take you somewhere really important" he says tugging on arm.

"Important?" I ask.

"Yes, very important. You heed to learn how to defend yourself" Cyneric says, jutting his chin up stubbornly.

"How to defend myself? From what exactly do I need defending from?" I ask laughing.

"You never know, look at what happened to your shoulder. If I was in your position then I would have handled the situation in a way, in which no one would be harmed"

"Hey! Don't compare yourself to me! You are trained to handle such situations. I was trained to do the work you are too royal to do" I say, mildly offended.

Cyneric huffs out a laughter and says "Yes I am aware of that. And that is why I am going to train you to do basic self-defense, so that such accidents don't happen in the future" he says solely looking at my now-healed shoulder.

"Aw was my Cyneric worried about me?" I coo at him and he nods his head with determination.

"Ofcourse I was. Seeing you lie on that bed, bleeding and unconcious was the experience of hell to me" Cyneric says pulling me closer to him and hiding his face in my neck.

"Hm.. you must be really very worried, as you did not come to visit me once in the infirmary" I say and Cyneric whines as a protest.

"Please love, try to understand, I had no other option. Emil would not leave my side for a minute and when Emil leaves for a while Miranda would come to me and talk about her day" Cyneric finishes the sentence, rolling his eyes.

"But I did sneak into the infirmary at night. But you would be asleep by the time I reach there, so you did not know" he says puffing his cheeks up.

I bury my hand in his hair "Hm and what about me being "just a servant"?" I ask, this time teasing.

"Love please... Don't remind me of that, I was just jealous of that boy being all over you" he whispers in my neck and I heave out a sigh.

"Cyn-" I start to say but shut up when I  hear a door open behind me.
