The Golden Fairy (Victorique x Kujo ♥)

Chapter 7

Victorique didn’t give out any reaction when the guy showed up. She was just sitting there, trying to avoid contact with the guy who came to see her. I wondered why she was acting like that.

“Good Morning Sir.” I warmly greeted the man.

The man did not greet back. He stared at me as if he wants me to get lost or something like that. Noticing that, I decided to leave the both of them alone. When I was about to drag my whole being down the first pack of stairs, Victorique called my name and when I turned around she said, “Kujo. Stay here.” while trying to keep her long, golden hair off her small face.

My heart started pounding. I didn’t know if I should stay or not. But looking at the situation and how Victorique reacts towards it, I decided to stay. Whether or not the guy who was there will get mad or what, I’m staying beside Victorique.

“Gray Wolf.” The guy started to talk.

“What is it?” Victorique replied to him.

Their manner of talking was very intense. The way I look at it, it seemed like the conversation they are having was a very important matter.

“Remember this?” The guy said, bringing out a locket with a picture of a girl inside. As I looked at it closely, the girl looked like Victorique.

“Hmm. Is that the only reason why you came here?” Victorique told the guy while giving off a serious stare to him.

The guy was irritated, he closed the locket with force. He looked like he wants to punch somebody or break something. He was awfully scary. I wondered what was going to happen next. Will they fight? Or will this stranger leave? After a few moments, the guy was able to relax and started to talk again.

“If I’m going to list all of my reasons of seeing you on a book, then most probably you might have your second library right now.” The guy started, “But you got that right, that’s the only reason I’ve come today, Gray Wolf.”

I turned to see Victorique’s expression. She was slightly smiling. She brought out something from her pocket and it was the same locket that the guy was holding. Putting the fragments together, I think that the person involved in this matter is somebody that was important to both parties, somebody who was important to Victorique and the guy.

The guy smiled and said, “So you do remember. That’s so nice of you. Oh well how could you forget when you were the reason that-“

“Stop it.” Victorique said with a sad tone. She seemed like she was going to cry at any second. Her golden hair was already covering her face and small tears started to fall. Seeing this expression of hers, the guy didn’t continue what he was going to say. Instead, he turned his back and vanished.

I was surprised on how he was able to do that exit of his. But what’s more important now is the reason why Victorique reacted like that. I came closer to her and tried to talk to her.

“Victorique…” I said.

Victorique turned her back at me and wiped her tears. When she faced me, she still had that sad face on, and it was so unusual to me. The Victorique I know was the bossy and easily-annoyed type. This time, it was like a totally different person, or should I say, a totally different Victorique.
