You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 490
Her compliance to the affection did not waver against the oddities, and so, trying to return the passion of his enthusiasm while her body was held by his hands, reticent to any soon separation, Marianne’s corners lifted at the assurance the prince gave once more. — "I swear that no one will see, my Lady..."
"hff.. m... alright~"
Losing sense from concerns, Marianne’s fingers touched the ears of the man in fidgety impatience... feverish in their heat while she dived them in the golden white strands of the Crown Prince, who shivered delightfully to the touch his love gave while his passion placed trouble in her core at the desires shared.
’Gosh... so intense...’
Closed lids and ensimismated grazes... Zeleskiaz’s loving kisses made both of them breathless while solely the sounds of their beings inundated their hearing with a slow and thorough affection... that would suddenly be interrupted.
"Fufufu~ see? see? I told you they are kissing~"
"?! D-Did you hear that??" — At the childish voices she heard, Marianne instantly separated, meeting the gaze of a dazed Prince who had not heard a thing.
"I didn’t hear anything..."
"Hehehe~ He wants to kiss her again~"
"!!? D-Did you truly not hear that, my prince???"
"? Hear what, my Lady?"
Confused as she was certain she had heard playful voices, Marianne’s eyes widened, stopping the craves of the prince with a weak hand and consequently, making the owners of the voices to come out from their hiding spot after unwillingness to continue was obvious to their eye.
"Hm~ph~! He cannot hear us, chosen one...! The blood of Fenrir he has, yet we are young spirits! This one cannot hear us smaller beings..."
"You were kissing so passionately~ what a shame you stopped him because of us~ hihihi~" — The fairies giggled, flying around while Marianne’s eyes blinked at the sight of smaller ones than Fathia the fairy messenger she once met... while the prince continued to ignore their presence and only felt restless as he kept her tight in his grasp.
"My Lady...? What’s wrong?...?"
"Huhuhu~ the man calls her his lady~ hehehe~" — The fairies giggled together, excited while he could not see them, causing embarrassment in Marianne as she now knew they were seen by eyes they did not expect. — "He’s impatient, he’s impatient, fufu~!!"
"Kiss him! Kiss him!!"
"Um... y-your Highness, do you not see nor hear these... spirits?"
"Spirits?"
"We told you he cannot hear us!" — One reproached, annoyed as if believed a liar.
"Yet we did not say he cannot see us..." — The other then said, changing the rage into more armonious chuckles.
"Oh... that is correct, teehehehe~ He cannot see us either, dear Ninth~ Solely you can do so~"
Marianne saw them fly happily together at the information given, following them with her gaze and causing the prince’s attention to ponder on her question.
"My Lady, are you talking about spirits like those of the tales? Like... the First Empress’s guardian spirit?"
"Ah... yes-"
"We are not guardian spirits! We are too small and young!! Fairies we are! Solely once the Bloomcrown season begins may we become like mother guardians!!" — The most expressive of the two spirits jumped in its flight. Reprimanding the prince that could not hear or see it. — "Dumb! Dumb man you are!!"
"Y-your Highness, I can see two young spirits flying around us... they are talking to myself at this moment..."
"... The Lady can see spirits?" — Zeleskiaz asked, serious while engaged in the conversation yet not loosening his hold of the lady’s waist that she was now to request to be released.
"A-Apparently so... um... we should... maintain some distance... as you now know we were not truly away from someone’s eye..." — Ashamed, Marianne’s hands slid down his arms, gently drawing away from him as the fairies continued to linger in their presence. Glancing at him sorry about the circumstances as dejection was apparent in his expression. — "I am sorry..."
"... It is alright... I understand..."
"?? Ninth, you stopped because we saw but not because you heard us?"
"?! Yes..." — Blinking at the calmest fairy coming close to her eyes Marianne replied, stunned at its comfort while talking with her for the first time.
"If so, you should have stopped because of the eye always on you, not at us, right?"
"Right! We are nice! The eye is not!"
"... an eye?"
"Over there! In the sky! The palace has an unwelcomed eye watching it for a long long time!" — The fairy showed with its enthusiastic flight a clear sky above while the other went to touch Marianne’s cheekbone so the dark dome covering the Palace could be seen by her common sight.
"?!... wh-what is that...!??"
"? Lady Marianne??"
"That is the eye always watching the palace dear Ninth~ it has been there ever since dear Calla’s death."
"Yet it is not Calla’s."
"Yes, it is not Calla’s."
"... If it is not Calla’s then whose is it? Could you young spirits tell myself?" — Trying to remain calm as her reaction was alerting the Crown Prince, Marianne asked already feeling faint as she still could see the eye above.
"Hehehe~ if the Ninth wants to know we can tell~"
"Yes~! We can tell~!"
"It is Calla’s and Oregor’s enemy. Also our loved Aenean’s and that annoying Fenrir’s... hmm... there was another..."
"Precious and strong Jørgen! We cannot forget our nice Jørgen!"
"Yes! Strong Jørgen too! The eye above is of the Empire’s founder’s enemy. That broken bones Witch!"
"Evil broken bones Witch!"
"Yes! Evil and ugly witch!"
"The broken..." — Stunned, Marianne mumbled thinking of the mission the gods had given, knowing the owner of the eye in the sky was the one she would one day fight. Bewildered to learn something about her this fast while the spirits continued to indifferently fly and talk more before her eyes.
"The Witch can see it all wherever she places her eye, yet Fenrir’s powers collide against hers~ The Ninth should not worry~ Calla’s Burgundy Chambers are protected by that annoying Fenrir and our wonderful Aenean~ We also aid in its protection, hehe~ We strengthen Aenean’s power now that she’s gone! Her eye cannot reach there and her eye cannot harm if herself is not around~"
