Killer's POV
"HoW LoNg HaVe yOu BeEn eAvEsdRoPpInG y0u rOyaL aBoMinAtIoN?"Error snaps
"Just heard you begin your newest statement about me with that prince is...that is, before I cut you off since you sounded like you weren't going to say anything good. You do realize it's unwise to jump to conclusions, right? And you didn't make it that private with the front door open."Nightmare says, standing in the doorway with his hands folded in front of him.
I quickly pull new fingerless gloves on, hiding the marks on my hand.
"UgH! WhY aRe y0u eVeN h3r3?"He asks
"Horror was wondering where Killer was."He says
"AlRiGhT. KiLlEr, i wiLl b3 oN mY sHiP iF yOu nEeD mE. GoTtA bE suRe tHoSe m0r0nS d0n't sInk iT."He says, marching away
I glance at Nightmare and he grins. He motions for me to follow him so I trail behind him as he walks away from my house after shutting the door. I see that we're going to the tavern that is now empty. I glance around to make sure, then lock it up when I see that we're continuing to move forward. I follow behind him, seeing that we're reaching his castle and the guards open the front gates.
"We're not going to Horror, are we?"I ask
"Nope."He says with a grin
"Ya know that you aren't really helping your case against his all-royals-are-bad belief, right?"I chuckle
He shrugs.
"He can think whatever he wishes."He says
"What are your real plans then?"I ask, then pause, gazing up at the castle towering over me.
He claps his hands and I see candles in each window lit up with purple flames. He smiles happily at me, opening the door.
Wait...Is he taking me inside?
A chill goes down my spine as I notice how late it is getting. I check the sun and see that it is nearly evening. A chill goes down my spine, Error's words ringing out in my head.
He motions for me to follow and I see the guards eyeing me. I obey, cautiously walking behind him. The doors shut behind me.
"Just spending some time with you. I spend so much time in your space after all. I thought it'd be fair to balance things out. We can wherever you wish in here."He says
I look at him in surprise. I repeat the words in my head, trying to find a trick in them. Does he really mean this? No other motives? I see a twinkle in his eyes and can tell that he is being honest, waiting for an answer. I see a large living room and see that it's close to the exit, making it the best room to go to. I point to it and he nods, leading me into it and we sit on the couch. I can imagine that this is only one of the many living rooms in this castle.
That said, I take the time to observe how intricately decorated it is. There are three different portraits hanging on the walls. Over the fireplace is a portrait of Queen Nim smiling as she holds a younger Prince Dream up to the sun, Dream appearing to giggle happily. A younger Nightmare is beside Nim, appearing to be in her shadow and not that pleased. On another wall is a portrait of a younger Dream sitting in Nim's lap, both of them smiling. On the opposite wall is a portrait copying the positions of that portrait except with Nightmare in her lap and neither of them smiling. It looks stern and cold. If you didn't know the pair in the image, you would've thought it was just some random people presented by the artist as it looks nothing like a loving family portrait. I get the sense that there may be some family tensions.
"So I just wanted to inform you that the village will no longer be a part of the kingdom. The separation is in the works right now."He says, catching my attention.
