Fate's Mistake

30 - Gloom

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own any of the characters, All rights goes to Voltage Inc. They make Otome games which inspired me to write this. Of course I do own 3 characters here ^_^ which is Clarisse and Rei and Jeffrey

*Rei's POV*

the next day I talked to Joshua about Claire working at the palace so she could get used to Dres Van...

"I'm okay with that." Prince Joshua simply replied, but I know he's happy on the inside because of his voice.

"Great." I gave him a smal smile.

he just stared at me for a long time before talking.

"Rei... do you want to be a princess of Dres Van?" he asked me out of the blue.

"W-What? of course..." I quietly replied.

"I see.." that was all he said as he walked away and out of the room..

what was that all about?

*Joshua's POV*

what am I thinking? asking her that...

I gave a heavy sigh as I talk to Jan about Rei's plans about Claire working at the palace. Honestly, I'm actually glad that she will be staying at the palace for some unknown reason...

"I'll take full responsibility of her." Jan replied curtly.

"Thank you." I said as I walk away.

"Sir..." jan said, stopping me. "Is something wrong?" he asked.

"what do you mean?" i questioned.

"It's just that you and Miss Rei are... not talking much." he hesitantly said.

"I know..." i muttered sadly as I walk away, leaving Jan confused.

I wonde rwhen will Rei be back to her normal self again.... I truly miss it.

-Sirius-

*third peron's POV*

The Sirius was as gloomy as ever. Everyone carried out their work without a hint of emotion...

They didn't talk to each other, just sad eye contact everytime they passed by each other. Captain wasn't leacving his room, Thomas was in the kitchen with Nathan as Russell was on the crow's nest. Christopher and Fuzzy were cleaning the clinic..

as for Eduardo... he was steering the helm of the ship in complete silence, nobody bothered to talk to him because he just ignores them... but the Sirius understand.

He loves her. The Sirius understands that he needs time for himself.

Eduardo thought of Rei as he steer. He thought 'what would happen if I stopped them from taking her?', 'what would happen if I told her my true feelings?' 

He sighed for the hundredth time... He regrets letting them take her away from them... away from him.

Not even Russell and Fuzzy were bickering nor talking... The sirius was quiet..  almost like an abandoned ship

Captain Morgan walked out of his room and strode across the deck, aimlessly wandering around with a bottle of liquor in his hand. He looked around, he thought his crew was gone for a second because of the eerie silence.

"I need to find a way to fix this mess..." he mumbled as he drank from the bottle.
