Nerium's Story

Chapter 5: Someone's Here

Onise was waiting in Nerium's office, the sun was illuminated, brightly. He brought some food for both himself and Nerium as well, 'Why is she so late? It feels like it has been over a hour...' He sighed and tapped his foot rapidly on the floor, getting impatient. He decided to check the desk near the right corner of the room, he opened the book, reading over it.

Soon, Onise heard the sounds of trumpets, 'An announcement, I should go ahead to find out,' He entered the main hall, and waited, his hands behind his back. He looks around, with a blank expression on his face as people are walking by. Everyone is walking by, like always. He spots Lucifer located in a corner, trying to hit on a maid. The maid however looks uncomfortable, that corner seems to be a private corner that perhaps no one really notices. "Ahem sir, this young lady seems uncomfortable by your presence and attitude towards her, I suggest you shall leave her alone," Onise says calmly with a soft tone, with seething anger in his eyes, but not a single change of tone that carried that frustration. Both the maid and Lucifer were slightly caught off guard.

Lucifer smirked, "She's just a plaything, don't worry, Nerium still captures my heart," He didn't let her go though Lucifer proceeded, "I won't stop though, what are you gonna do about it? I don't think anyone would believe the guard over an important, hot, prince," Onise supposed, 'He's probably right, but everyone deserves respect,' "Sir, this isn't your castle, so the staff here aren't yours to play around, and neither is anybody, just because you're a prince, doesn't imply you're the boss of everybody and are able to control them," Lucifer answers by rolling his eyes in annoyance, "Blah, blah, blah..." Onise glared at him, colder than an ice cube, "Are you testing my patience?"

Lucifer grinned, "Maybe~" Onise led the maid outside and she thanked him, and then he went back to the corner. Then pins Lucifer against the wall, and whispers harshly, "Don't ever test my patience," Lucifer's heartbeat sped up quickly by that, yet Lucifer retorts, "At least I'm not some random guard," Onise responds, "At least I'm not some spoiled brat, that's is fed with a silver spoon and does nothing to earn his title,"
Lucifer: "How dare you-"
Onise: "Conversation over,"
Onise walks away, and Lucifer is stunned and ticked off.

He knocked on Nerium's door, "Open up, it's breakfast and your late," He heard shuffling in the room, "Nerium? Nerium? Are you ok? Nerium?!" The door opens, Neeium is standing right there, "Yes, Mr Panic, what is it?" Onise sighs in relief, "You have work to do, a meeting, and breakfast to eat," Nerium yawns, and Onise queries, "Why are you still so sleepy?"
Nerium: Remember the red starry flower?
Onise thought for a little while, then understood quickly and nodded, "Special night for the plants and you,"
Nerium: "Yes, indeed,"

Nerium was in her office eating her breakfast while working on papers, doing the double so she could catch up and get some outside time without being blamed for doing no work. After a few hours it was the afternoon, "And done the last one," She stood up and stretched, she headed for the main hall to find the dining area, while Onise followed her.
