Fortunate Or Unfortunate

Part 04

"Add! Why didn't you tell me you have a fiancée?!" Aisha grabbed Add's arms and shook him furiously.

"My old man suddenly decided to give me one." Add pulled her hands away, held his head to ease the dizziness. "It's not like I ask for it. Now..." Aisha silenced, blinked a bit at his change of tone. "Would you all get out of my room and let me continue my research? I have enough delay for the past two days!"

Add kicked the three of them out (well, he pushed Aisha and Ara out, but he really did kick Elesis). Elesis immediately punched the door over and over again, shouting insults while Add just screamed her to be quiet. The surprise eventually went away and regret splashed against Aisha. She wondered to herself, if she had confessed, would he have been forced into an arranged marriage? Suddenly, Elesis felt someone pulled her shoulder, it was Aisha. She was all teary eyes, her nose and cheeks were bright red.

"It's not fair!"

Aisha shouted loudly before running away, left Elesis confused with what just happened. Ara seemed to panic at her friend's sudden outburst, she didn't know whether she should chase after the heart-broken girl or stay to explain things to Elesis so she wouldn't misunderstand. In the midst of her decision, Ara realized she had lost track of Aisha. What done is done, she decided to stay with Elesis.

"You see..." She grabbed the attention of Elesis, who was staring at Aisha's direction for a while. "She likes Add."

"Huh?"

With Aisha...

Aisha just kept running, she didn't know where she was heading, but she knew she had to get as far as she can from Add and his fiancée. She really didn't want too see them as both of them made her filled with regret of what could have been. She turned to the corner and sat behind the potted pant. The need to hide away from everything washed over her, made she curled into a fetal position, sobbing in the process. She felt stupid for her sudden outburst as she couldn't face Elesis now. Suddenly, Aisha felt someone touched her arm. She quickly looked next to her afraid that someone she didn't want to see find her. Before her eyes, it was a boy with red hair and bright ruby eyes. He reminded her too much of Elesis.

"Hey..." He said quietly, Aisha thought she would get comforted from someone she didn't know since she needed something like that right now. "You're in my hiding spot." What? "Since you're here, I can't hide, can you leave?"

Aisha stared at him with blank eyes. Did he just seriously tell a heart-broken girl to just go away simply because she was in his way of hiding? Aisha growled in frustration, it didn't help that the boy looks like her love rival, but he was also damn rude. She pulled his collar, closed up the distance between their faces to enhance her anger.

"Insensitive jerk! Who are you? And why should I get out of your way?"

"What?! You want to start a fight brat?! To have you know, I'm the prince of Velder! And who might you be?" Elsword closed up the distance furthermore, their forehead touched (not in the romantic way, but the head-butting way).

"I am Aisha! The princess of Feita!" Aisha shouted loudly, until she realized something. "Wait... Velder? Are you related to Elesis Sieghart in anyway?"

Elsword was relieved to hear someone mentioned his sister's name. He had to follow her by hugging the top of the carriage...for 3 hours straight. Too bad when they arrived to the castle, he lost track of them because his arms gave out from hanging on. Elsword tried to look for his sister, but he got lost and he had to hide from people asking who he was and his purpose to be here. He couldn't just say that he's the prince's soon-to-be bride's brother, that made it sounds like he had sister-complex since no one told the maids he would be here.
