Chapter 23 : Changes

Arc : One (1.17)

I did promise to serve the country, but I vowed to love you.

✽――――――――――✽

The fight ended up as normally as it was, though some changes have appeared. In the past, people would usually scorn and say back stabbing words towards Xeal but it was wiped clean with no dust left to pick up.

Amazement, admiration and disturbing feelings started to lurk in the minds of the people, unfortunately, few of them were in the foul mood after the unexpected occurrence.

Xael was getting ticked by the love struck and blind admiration the people continued to send on her ways. If she stared on the left, the people would either looked on where she's looking or looked at the right side of her face.

Some were even gutsy to actually stopped her tracks or get on the way of her view just to confess. Of course, Xael just coldly looked at them, say 'thank you' and walked away. Her piece of wall was as mighty as ever.

That move however not only did not discourage those hot blooded men but actually triggered their passion to pursue her more.

It was annoying to the point that she's planning on plastering a masked on her face, exactly like what Marshell does.

Other than that, Xael was also getting vex due to a certain someone that has been keeping an eye on her from the distance. He might be able to mask his presence but Xael would not be fooled by that level of tricks.

From the trees up to the crowd, from the tents to even a waist height grass would do him good for a cover. What is wrong with that man? He's not even coming near me?! How could I do that to him if he's not even on an arm's reach?!

Speaking of Marshell, this one is also not spared. He was not a least bit annoyed than Xael, for the past five days that he's been 'innocently looking out' for her, he has been so proud of his self control that was getting stronger than ever.

He was able to commit murder countless of times in his mind. Sulking on why many flies and mosquitoes kept on bugging his woman but he was not able to swat those away thinking that it might make a wrong impression in front of Xael.

Charles, nothing much, he was just on his way on being crazy. His heart has been making so much noise and he didn't know what's going on. He even crossed the idea of digging his heart out and asking it on what is its problem.

On the field, Yvonne has been training nonstop. Polishing her skills and driving her improvement to go sky rocket. She has been depressed due to what happened.

She hasn't even seen a glance on where Marshell was since the day of the spar. This didn't settle the grudge and bitterness of her heart.

On the night of the same day, Marshell has finally found his reason to talk to Xael directly. On the fields, he was standing stiff, not knowing if Xael would even show up after he left a meet up note.

Judging by her actions this past few days, she was rejecting people left and right without batting an eye.

He has written that what he'll say was something important and he'll wait at the fields by the time of six in the afternoon. He didn't know if he's stood up because he's been waiting for almost four hours.

In those past minutes, he has been making excuses on why Xael has been late, calming his self and convincing that there's still a chance as long as he didn't left his place.
