The "Sickly" Prince

Chapter 14: Finally Back Again!

Sorry for the long delay. I truly thought that Exam season was over and that I could relax but oh boy I was wrong! I got only busier. Fucking hate my school system!
Anyway I hope you enjoy the new chapter. Thanks for your patience.

It was a cloudy and rainy morning. The cold wind was chilling. In this part of the Obelian Empire even though it was called the Sun Town, the weather wasn't always sunny but a complete mess. One day the sun shone brightly and the other day it snowed like there was no tomorrow.

And this applied especially in April, when the weather was acting as if it was bipolar. The towns people therefore had a popular saying which was "The April does everything at its own will, bringing rain, sun, snow within a breath full of chill" (A/N: idk does that even make sense?)

Lucian was in his mansion, wasting around in boredom. He truly felt annoyed and helpless. Nothing went as he had planned. In his original plan he and Ikejiel should be friends by now or at least have talked once but no he wasn't even able to take a glance at him.

On the other side was Aaron that looked a bit worried as he heard the sigh of Lucian. "Blondie. You know I might be able to help you with finding Ikejiel."

When he heard that Lucian quickly turned his head in Aaron's direction. He looked at him with burning eyes. "And you only tell me that now!?"

"Well...to be honest I didn't really wanted to help." Aaron said bluntly.

Lucian's gaze turned murderous, so that Aaron shrieked back. "H-hey don't be so angry. Aren't I going to be help you now?" Aarons smiled awkwardly.

"You better be successful or you won't live long enough to see tomorrow." Lucian's voice was full of anger.

"Yes! Yes!" Aaron hurriedly got up from the sofa he was sitting on and casted a spell.

Purple and sliver light strands whirled around as if they danced in the sky creating a small whirlwind that showed the hazy figure of a person. Slowly the figure got clearer and clearer and the background also was now visible to both Aaron's and Lucian's eyes. 

Lucian looked at Ijekiel that stood out amongst the many brown and blond haired heads.
"Do you recognise the surroundings?" Aaron asked.

Lucian nodded. "Yes I know where he is. He's staying at the Town's best tavern."

"So are we going there now?" Aaron asked as he sneakily lied down on Lucian's bed lazily. His whole body language screamed: I don't wanna go anywhere!

Lucian looked at Aaron's lazy figure and rolled his eyes. "Yes of course we are going to go there now! So get your lazy ass off of my bed and disguise yourself."

With an annoyed groan Aaron got only reluctantly up and disguised himself. Lucian did the same and both quickly teleported themselves somewhere near the tavern.

"Ugh. You suck at teleportation magic. I'm all dizzy and nauseous because of you." Aaron complained.

Hearing those slandering words Lucian kicked the others leg heavily.

"Ouch! Violence is no the ducking answer!" Aaron held his kicked leg in his arms and looked at Lucian resentful.

"Don't be such a crybaby and get up." Lucian rolled his eyes at Aaron's patheticness.

After quarreling for a bit they finally entered the tavern. Both looked around and tried to spot Ijekiel.

As Lucian was concentrating on looking for a head full of white hair Aaron suddenly leaned in and whispered into his ears with a deep yet youthful voice, what startled him a bit.

"How are you even planning on getting close to him" Aaron asked as he whispered into Lucian's ear.

Feeling the hot breath on his ears he turned around and faced the rather serious expression of Aaron what made him feel a bit weird. In Lucian's impression Aaron was always someone who joked around and always wore a silly expression. So seeing him with such a serious demeanor was quite stranger.

Being a bit dazed i took him a while too wake up from it. He shaked his head and said:"I'll accidentally spill my drink on him to come into a conversation with him."

"Are you serious? That's so old fashioned and cliché. Like an evil extra character in a novel." Aaron couldn't help but diss him.

"Shut up! Do you have any better ideas?" Lucian looked at him with contempt as he asked.

"Yes I do. We can simply...." Before he could continue Lucian already made his way to Ijekiel whom he had finally spotted. He took a random drink from the counter and was right about to pretend to fall down and spill the drink on Ijekiel but failed.

Around Ijekiel and the others was actually a barrier. So not only did he fall down for noth but also he stayed unnoticed.

Aaron who observed everything from behind tried to hold back his laughter. "Heh, let me show you how you get into a conversation with someone without embarrassing yourself."

Lucian glared at him as he got up from the bottom. His ears were read from shame. He really felt embarrassed. 'Luckily not many saw my stupid fall.' Lucian thought to himself.

Meanwhile Aaron approached the table where Ijekiel was sitting together with his classmates. "Hello strangers. I happend to overhear you talking about the legend of the Sun Goddess and why we celebrate her? Are you interested in hearing the real story?" Aaron asked them with a bright smile.

When Lucian saw this he mocked him in his mind 'Was that his so great plan? They will surely say no. He looks totally like a shady person with that smile.'

But to Lucian's surprise he heard Ijekiel agreeing. "I would love to."
