Chapter 23: Castle Shenanigans 1

Prince Arytorio Kerias is a man of arrogance and unquestionable impudence. He is the third prince out of the three princes which mean his chances for the throne is a pipe dream. He knew such reality at an early age. In his desperation to attain glory and what so called power, Arytorio courted noble families with strong influence within the kingdom.

Being one of those noble families that he courted is the Einhart Household, specifically, Reysha Einhart. He courted a lot of woman in high standing but he knows that the Einhart household is favored the most so he thought of charming Reysha which ended in a duel where he lost.

Arytorio lost all hopes of getting power within the kingdom so he thought of aiming other kingdoms.

He brazenly marches to the Breille Kingdom to court a princess in the Breille Kingdom, truly a foolish decision.

Princess Meriyal Breille is an extraordinary woman with extraordinary attitude. Arytorio wouldn’t ever think that there will be a person with pride higher than his. Meriyal is by no mean, not an evil or cruel person but when it comes to dealing with other people with high position, her pride overpowers all.

Arytorio’s impudent attitude that treated women like his plaything greatly induced Meriyal’s anger and an argument broke out that ended by Meriyal sending Arytorio back…forcibly with the royal army.

Arytorio comes home infuriated by the shame he thinks that Meriyal brought him and at the same time, Meriyal’s anger was known to her father, the King of Breille. Using both of their anger, some of the people in the council started brewing plans of starting a war.

Then it broke out…

Arytorio wouldn’t have ever thought of a war breaking out because of his foolishness. Guilt started haunting him and he soon started seeing people less and less. He also ignored the king’s call which alarmed everyone thinking that the Breille Kingdom’s action towards him had a lasting effect.

And that very night, Arytorio again sleeps in his room.

However, there was something different right now…

A sweet scent awakens his senses. Under the warmth of his sheets, his body revitalizes and his cold sweats stops flowing. All of his worries and unnerved senses calmed down before he knew it.

As he removed the sheets covering his head, his breath was taken away from what he saw.

“W-Who…are you…?!” He said with eyes glued to the woman illuminated by the moonlight coming out from the glass window of his room.

“Sadly, I have long forgotten it. But I can assure you that I am a harmless entity. Prince of Breille Kingdom, it’s a pleasure meeting you.” The woman said as she curtsied elegantly. She smiles at him with so much radiance.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“Ah…” is what Arytorio could only mutter as his heart stopped momentarily from such breathtaking and captivating smile that the woman did. He immediately believed what the woman said. How or why the woman is in his room is no more of his concern.

She’s a woman with fair skin and has the right height. Her breasts look passable and most of all, her face is what you would call perfectly sculptured, and her golden hair and blue eyes that tantalize anyone who stares at it, a beauty befitting to be called an angel.

“I can understand your bafflement. I apologize for such untimely appearance but, I became horribly worried for you, Prince Arytorio.” the woman said with saddened eyes. Her countenance is deeply colored by the shimmering moon that gave it a strong vibrant effect that Arytorio wasn’t able to breathe.

“I have always been watching you. You and your actions have led to this circumstance and now, you are brooding over it. It proves that you still have a heart.” The woman added.

“I see…all of those…so you are well aware that I am a womanizer…” Arytorio dimly said. “I am a horrible person…” he followed.

“You may be one right now but, change is never ending. Whatever you did will never be erased or reverted again. All you can do is to choose the right path again.” The woman told him with overflowing affection.

“You…are you…consoling me…?” Arytorio mutters weakly.

“I am. Not only to you and the decisions you made. I know you are aware of what I am saying.” the woman implies about the war.

“That’s…are you telling me that…it is not too late for me?! I am impudent and foolish…” he said with grim expression.

“You are a one but, you are but only a young one. You can still grow up to be a better man and correct everything. Prince Arytorio Kerias, there is light and darkness in this world. None of the two can exists without the other one. Having too much light inside you will cause an imbalance, the same goes for darkness. You can never ever get rid of the two but, you should learn how to accept them and become one with them with the aim of treading the right path.” The said as she leans her face to Arytorio.

Arytorio heard every single bit of what the woman said and his heart was greatly swayed. Her face which is so close to his made him conscious again of his situation.

“Your words…! To encourage a coward like me…! I don’t know what will the future brings but…with your words…I will cast none but embrace them. It is what you want, right?” Arytorio contemplated. His eyes directly stare at the woman.

“Thenea…Can I call you Thenea? If you don’t have a name, I will call you Thenea for now! I don’t want to forget you!” he pursued the conversation by presenting her a name.

“It’s…a beautiful name…Thenea. I am truly happy.” The woman, Thenea smiles.

“Also, I will stop being a womanizer. Thenea…oh…my Goddess Thenea…please…grant a selfish wish of mine! I…I want to…” Arytorio said as he closes his eyes and presented his lips…

A really fast flow of the situation...

“……” Thenea pauses because, in reality, Thenea is a he and his name is Eiru.

As Arytorio presented his lips with his eyes sincerely closed, Eiru’s face was petrified and all color from his face is drained.

“Damn it! Not this!” Eiru inwardly curses.

He glances at the side where Falikh, Mika, Teth, and Spoof are hiding. He gestured with his hand horizontally cutting in his neck which means no. He wants them to save him from the situation he got himself to.

“!!!....!!.....!!!” Spoof made a gesture with his two forefingers crossing and clashing at each other. It was a sexual innuendo that made Eiru’s eye twitches in anger.

“H---H!!---H!!!” Falikh’s laughter is muffled forcibly by Teth and Mika as a silly scene unfolds before them.

However, Mika and Teth themselves are having a hard time stopping their own laughter. Even Spoof is silently laughing under the scarf in his face.

“I really swear I am going to bite all of you later!” Eiru thought as his temper reaches cloud nine.
