Reminiscent Of The Past (Alucard x Estes)

Chapter 3

A/N: Last chapter.. Do forgive me later on for any erm.. Strong emotions and such. Haha.

Enjoy~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Months have passed ever since the tragic incident. The pair’s relationship was back to normal. A few disagreements there, reconciliation here and most of all, the showering of love towards one another non stop. However, Estes still bears little doubts on Alucard but not as much as before. The king’s trust is a very fragile possession, easy to break, hard to achieve. But the blond has been working hard to gain that trust again, despite the minor setbacks, like his insecurity and a bit of his naive nature.

Others watched their bond regrow. Completely surprised that the two lasted this long. On a side note, Alucard’s friendship with Miya heightened. The girl’s grudge against him faded and both became such good friends. Ruby as well was like a  sister to him. The troubles of the past long left behind as the three found true peace within themselves.

As for Zilong and Clint, the two were the same troublesome friends Alucard knew and loved. Occasionally joining the two with their rambunctious antics that will soon land themselves in some trouble. Still, not enough to stop them.

“Now what crazy stunt will we do this time?”

“Hey Clint, how about we try a chilli eating contest? Winner gets treated by the losers some drinks.”

“Good idea, Zilong. Alucard you in?”

“I don’t see why not. Let’s do it!”

And later on, the three regretted their decisions and burned their tongues, scattering around for some milk and water. Perhaps this will be the last time they ever decide on such a ridiculous idea.

...Or not.

----------------------------------------------------

Years passed and the elven kingdom held a ball to commemorate the return of their king, after being in the Land of Dawn for too long. The party was teaming with well-dressed moon elves, large golden chandeliers with diamonds decorating it hung overhead of the guests. The large ballroom was tinted with sky blue walls, large glass windows, dark blue curtains and golden accents that decorated the walls and pillars.

Estes sat upon his throne, overlooking his guests throughout the room with a warm smile. Some were dancing on the dancefloor, others dine, while others chatted with each other. His elegant red wine cape glinting under the warm lights of the chandelier, his silvery locks neatly swept to one side, and wears a dark coat beneath that cape. He nodded curtly to those who came up to him and greeted his highness. Slightly growing impatient in waiting for that one specific person.

And just when he was pondering about the whereabouts of his lover, the blond finally showed up before him. Walking down that purple velvet carpet that led up the throne. Alucard had his hair slicked back neatly, wearing a dark coat with an attached cape that hung on his shoulders under his pauldrons, his right arm concealed by a silver gauntlet, and right ear decorated with piercings. He strides over before the king and halts just at the foot of the stairs. He bows curtly at his benevolent presence before straightening his back and stretching out a hand to him. And with a smooth, calm voice, Alucards asks,

“May I have this dance, your highness?”

The king’s cheeks flamed a visible pink at the words but nonetheless accepted the offer. Rising from his seat to gracefully go down the flight of stairs to meet with the hunter, lifting his hand to rest upon Alucard’s palm, flashing him a warm and bashful smile.
