The King's Admirer

The King's Admirer (Chapter 14)

Third Person's POV,

Night time soon came- Felix had dropped by a while ago in his room- checking if he needs anything before he sleeps.

Claude dismissed him- seeing how tired Felix is from training and doing tasks provided for him. It seems to be unfair to further ask him to stay.

It was a long day- stressful even. He couldn't believe how slow the day was. "What is wrong with me" he asked himself, pacing in dimly lit room- a single candle on his bed side table beside Beelzebub's bird stick light up the whole room.

Claude sighed as he plopped on the Cleopatra chair on the end of his bed- dressed in simple white robes and hair messy he plopped his head on the foot of his bed, diamond blue eyes downcast.

Today was supposed to be a good day- him having fun with lady Penelope and telling stories Levi had told him. Yet looking back to what he did today- he couldn't help but feel the need to apologize- but to who? Who could have he done something wrong with-

"Levi-" he suddenly found himself uttering the name of his dearest friend. Now he remembered why he was so stress.  He shouldn't be feeling this way- he is a prince- an engaged one at that!

But-- but the erratic beat of his heart whenever the male smiles can't seem to be excused or how his heart squeezed when the male smiled at him from the corner of his eyes despite having to lie about the rose garden-

"The Rose garden" standing up on his feet he waddled his way to his door-carefully he opened it but closed it hurriedly when a servant passed by. Taking deep breaths he opened his wardrobes and pulled out a white scarf, laying it pm his head like a hijab to hide his golden hair.

He didn't know why but he had a huge urge to go there-like he would miss something if he doesn't-

He opened his door once again and looked around- no one's there-

He closed it again- taking a look at his room he saw the mountains of quilts he had on his bed. Claude hated the cold weathers of the night so he had 3 thick quilts on his bed.

He quickly grabbed a hold of all the quilt dragging them out of his bed and towards his balcony. Tying the ends together he tied the other end of the makeshift rope on his balcony and took a deep breath-praying the blanket is long enough for him to get down.

Thank goodness it is-Claude had to thank Felix for picking out the blankets for him. Looking at his room once again he grabbed another quilt from his drawer and put his pillows inside- "Let's hope I get back before they even notice"

Quietly to not wake Beelzebub up he went back to his balcony and took a big gulp. "Well- it's now or never-" grabbing a fist full of clothe he begun to climb down.

Levi teaching him how to climb a rope is surely worth it-

"There" he huffed as soon as he got down, hiding the robe behind the thick vines on the wall- to whoever who's gonna wash his white sheets- poor them.

Claude gave a simple prayer for them before he took off.

The garden was beautiful at night. The magical red Rose's bloomed with red colors as they basked in the moon' light.

Claude made his way to the Male- navigating his way through as he followed the gut feeling he had been sitting on.

He was about to round a corner when a hand shots up and grabbed a hold of his shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"Ahhh-mhnp!" Claude's eyes widen as his mouth was clamped before he could even scream and his hijab was snatched.

"My Lord?"
