You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 570

As if recent, the scent he sensed that night when lifting her in a dance, the small glimpse of a smile in an expressionless visage... and the recall of how glad her body made his once indifferent touch made him grin in thrilled delight. Mesmerised as he realised how bewitched he had fallen without knowing for the pure appeal of his lady.

"Solely now that I need to keep my hands to myself it is that I recognise how much more special you have always been, my dear..." — He sighed overwhelmed by the emotions. Contemplating in the present that allowed the acknowledgement. — ’I appreciate the chance traditions provide... since I have no other choice but to do so to feed my thirst for you now.’

A deep breath was taken to gather some energy, and the light from the outside of a window was measured by his dazzled eyes. Praying with the whole of his spirit so the sun would move faster to make the noon arrive with its shine.

’Once afternoon starts I will get to see you again, my love.’ — Zeleskiaz ultimately thought with tenderness. Thinking about the sweet nothings she had said about his company in the coming visit to her siblings. Proud of her words... for even if playful, she knew she was treasured by his hand. — ’Not even their glance will be allowed to harm you. If the words they tell upset you, I will stand for you... hence, I hope it is because of this fact that you are confident of my presence, love of my soul...’

Taking a moment to think about what needed to be done, the patience he would probably need so her purpose was met... he turned serious once more. Calling the name of his right hand so the requirements were done in order as he had instructed.

"Biel."

"... yes? You called?" — Coming into his view as he worked apparent, Biel came before the crown prince, acting ignorant of the soliloquy his master appeared to take satisfaction in a moment ago.

"Did you inform the warden that my lo-... ahem, that my lady and I will go pay a visit to her siblings?"

"Sigh... I did, mate. They are tripling security as we speak. Besides that, the road was cleared and the carriage arranged."

"? They aren’t that dangerous. Why is there a need for tripling the security? Although, since it is my lady, I guess it is only proper..."

"It’s not because of them but because of you."

"... That makes sense. I had forgotten."

"Tsk. ’I jad fojgotin.’ Bloody hell, your story at the dungeons and jail isn’t to be taken lightly. If something gets into you and you make a mess it won’t be fun to take care of with the Ninth there. If they know you are going they will take more measures since the prisoners are the ones in danger, ironically."

"Nothing will happen. It’s unnecessary."

"How can we be sure? You used to go there, suddenly, surprising everyone, only to torture people and lash out at the prisoners whenever the beasts at the dungeons weren’t enough. It is anything but unnecessary if you ask me."

"I didn’t ask." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"... ar*ehole." — Biel mumbled, tightening his edges as he sensed the danger of a glare that would continue the conversation, nicely ignoring the curses.

"They were there waiting for their death sentence. If anything I ended their suffering earlier. I did not torture them either."

"Well... their yells did not sound like that."

"That’s because you decided to interfere when it was better to let me finish with them. It was you who made it worse for them."

"... Shameless f*cker."

This time as his curse was heard too clearly, Zeleskiaz menaced. Giving a chance to the right hand to behave. — "Want to do the guards’ job and deal with what I can do by yourself?"

"Tsk... When the Ninth learns about your true nature you won’t be this calm about making these kinds of threats again."

"It’s not a problem." — He said confidently. — "I’ve learned that... if I’m sincere we can get to understand who we are."

"? You are awfully positive today compared to the other days. Don’t you fear she will distance herself?" — Surprised the right hand inquired, seeing how some of the common concerns the prince continuously had seemed to lose weight on his mind.

"It’s only natural when my efforts seem meaningful thanks to my lady... my nature... may not be a problem anymore."

"... uh... Sure..."

Ready to leave his master’s presence Biel turned around, knowing that it was not the time to test the prince’s patience asking for some explanation behind his change. Furthermore, as there were other matters he had been placed in charge of with the preparations the Empire needed to take currently. However, as he sighed to himself because of the still odd purity the madman before him appeared to showcase because of a loved one, his motion was stopped by his voice, which had softened to the mention of his lady.

"Wait." — Zeleskiaz said, only resuming once Biel came to face him again. — "Do you know if there is any event the people may be preparing these days?"

"? Why?"

"Just tell me if you know there is any."

"... Before autumn ends there should be an offering so the Winter won’t be cruel to the lands... it’s done everywhere, don’t you know that?"

"Hmm... I know but there’s still some time before that. I meant in the following days or weeks."

"... There could be some at the neighbouring towns."

"Look that up for me."

"... Alright."

"Don’t leave yet." — As he noticed he was about to retreat once again Zeleskiaz stopped Biel, invoking his frown to twitch to restrain its shape because of the frustrating ways of his master. — "Tell the men to always have steeds ready for the Ninth’s carriage. And inform the stables that they need to have them in their best shape from here onwards."

"? Are you going to be using them regularly?" — The right hand asked, confused at the orders, watching how severe the prince became when requesting such.
