Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

C54: Cersei's Ambition - A Terrifying Blood Prophecy!

Even when Kai had been shivering among the magical folks in the inn's common room, he had felt too many eyes lingering on his face; on his eyes.

Kai tapped his fingers on the arms of the chair, giving Petyr's suggestion a deep thought.

He nodded. "Very well. You can go."

Petyr bowed. He was just about to vanish when Kai called out. "Wait!"

"Yes, master?"

"Petyr, how far can you go by yourself before disappearing?"

"10 ft from you," Petyr replied, still smiling.

Kai looked into Petyr's eyes. "10 ft from me, or 10 ft from the Book?"

For a moment... For a teeny-tiny moment, the smile on the Character's face vanished, becoming a hideous scowl. It returned fast, just not soon enough for Kai to have not noticed it.

"If you were to hand over the Book to me, I can go as far as you would like me to be, my lord," Petyr said, his eyes trembling a bit, his figure blurring. "Of course, I can't activate the Book's Skills by myself."

Petyr Baelish vanished.

Kai sat there, gazing hard at the place where the character had been standing.

He craned up his neck and then stared at the roof. This stare lasted for quite some time. He ran his hands along the length of his silky white hair, feeling the sweat and tension. Then, after a while, the corners of his mouth twitched. The thing that could have been a smile became a frown, then a smile again.

This maniacal tendency lasted for a while too, eventually blooming into a full-blown burst of laughter.

What was going through his mind? What had been making him smile and frown? And what finally made him laugh?

Kai and Kai alone knew the answer.

He took out the Book, opening it to the Lioness of Casterly Rock.

The Book imbued life into the tale and Cersei walked out. She had a bright ocean blue frock-like apparel on her. Her golden hair was loose, reaching far below her waist, and her earrings glittered red and green.

Her face was rosy, matching the color of her lips.

Cersei was about to say something when Kai strode towards her. She stepped back, shocked and confused.

Kai pulled her in.

And before Cersei could say something, his lips were on hers.

...

Knock! Knock!

Her eyes were closed, her face flustered, and there was a slight tremble in her arm which passed to Kai's shoulder where her fingers were digging deep into his flesh.

Kai looked at her deeply as if trying to see just a hint of something. Something odd. Something incriminating.

As her eyes opened, all he got in reply was a stare full of longing and ferociousness.

This ferocity was a part of who Cersei was. The longing, though, Kai felt unnecessary and ill-timed.

Thump!

A fist bumped against the door, and Kai had to leave her standing by herself.

A brown-haired and dark-skinned waiter in a dark blue uniform was waiting outside when Kai opened the doors.
