Chapter 56

He is also unfamiliar to me. I thought, he will replace Ayu, but there are many more. And they surpassed that.
"My luck to you" I said with a smile on my face as they released their embrace with me. A big smile was also drawn on their lips.
"Of course, we're beautiful and cute eh!" Heaven's windy words made us wince.
It was blown away. "Ihh! You're coming!" he still fueled that we just laughed.
Courtney sneezed and looked at me.
"Devon, what's on your neck?" I was surprised and blushed at his question. Geez! He noticed that because my hair that was covered there was removed!
Savannah stopped laughing while Emerald and Heaven also caught the attention of my neck. I frowned and avoided.
"Because there are so many. Not just one, but five" Courtney added. I could no longer look at them properly and simply rearranged my hair to cover them.
"Is that a love bite?" it was Emerald who asked.
I was nervously shaken and calmed myself. Totally hotseat!
"Eh what's that? Hickeys?"
"Baka kissmarks"
"It's just the same thing you said eh" Savannah smiled and stared at me angrily. She knows already.
There was such an open forum between us last night so here he is, trembling as if he didn't know.
"What is that really?" they said in chorused.
Sweat was swallowed and dripped. W-What ... shall I answer?
"K-Bitten n-by l-ant" I stammered in response as their foreheads furrowed.
"How--."
*Tok. *Tok. *Tok.
Heaven stopped speaking and we all turned to knock. Heaven went to you right away. Whoo! Saved by the knock.
Hayst. What a lame answer. Seriously, Devon ?! Langgam ?! That big ant is still fragrant and can --- oh stop, Devon! Erase. Erase. Erase.
"Daredevy bitten by an ant slash my golden ring with diamond, find you" I frowned at what Heaven said.
Saved by the knocked, holy ice!
"Who is it?" I can't be happy because I can't take a hot seat anymore.
It eased the opening of the door and Mama came out smiling.
We immediately stood up to greet. "Goodmorning, Mrs. Solaire"
"Goodmorning, pretties! May I borrow Devon for a while?" gently this promise they nodded.
Of course, they didn't know that she was my mother.
"All right, Mrs. Solaire! Get her!" Emerald said briskly and pulled me upright. Good thing I wore a decent clothes. Gray longtee and black leggings. I even deleted the I.D. glued to the center of my collar bone where my snowflake tattoo is.
It's good that my tattoo is also covered, but not my-err, 'Hickeys thingy'
'When Crush sees this, ayy, goodbye Devon Evo Solaire to Luna! I'm the one who flirted because I neglected, hayst.
"I'll bring him back too, after lunch" Mama said goodbye so I approached her and simply arranged my hair to cover the 'souvenirs of mate' left tsk!
We bid our goodbyes and walked towards from the direction of my Mama's dorm.
I should focus on my boyfriend from now on, I thought I need to say sorry to him and tell what happened, I cheated on him, and I feel more guilty about what I did last night. Especially since I lost my couple necklace and ring. I'm so careless, hayst.
He noticed that I was sighing and was quiet so we stopped for a moment on the road.
"Oh honey .... I miss you, very much" she sweetly said and hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back, too. I miss this. Her hugs, her endearments to me.
"I miss you more, Mama" I whispered and tightened my hug. She touches my hair and brushed it through her hand.
We let go of the hug but it was already holding my two hands.
"How are you, honey? It's been a while since we don't see each other. That's why I'm inviting you to join at our lunch" she said.
I nodded and smiled. "I'm more than fine, Mama. Yeah, it's been ..... too long for me .... And I'm glad to accept" I said and giggled. He smiled sweetly and put his arm around me then continued walking.
It took meters away to get to their dorm Mama so we share our thoughts, chit chatting about what happened, and everything even the nonsense things.
"Ma?"
"Yes, honey?"
I hesitate for a second. Should I say it? Should I tell about Crush and our relationship?
"Ahm ..... I ..... I ... have ..... a .... a ... relation ..... ship ...." I stopped saying.
Her lips form a grin one.
"My daughter had a relationship with friends, eh? That's good for you, honey! Befriend with anyone!"
I bit my lips. Mama don't know exactly what relationship I pertaining to.
"It's not .... what I meant ..... I mean ..... I .... I have ...... a ..... boy .... friend"
She chuckled a bit. "It's the same honey. Having a boy friend is good. Someone will guide and protect you as a friend and a knight"
I sighed in defeat. How can I tell him? Of the brighter? Do I have to tell that,
'Mama, I have a boyfriend not as a friend but a lover. We love each other but I'm confusing about this' mate 'of mine.'
Is that it? Easy to imagine but hard to say. We got to their dorm noisy. By the way, Tita Desseri and Tito Klaus are teasing each other. While Tita Maxine is preparing lunch. Papa is taking a shower.
"Hello, Sweetie!" Aunt Desseri greeted I just reciprocated with a stingy smile. It is also very well dressed like Tito Klaus and Tita Maxine.
"Hello there, Dennis' version 2.0!" I laughed at Tito Klaus's greeting. We are not that alike. Just by chance maybe.
Hayst.
"Oh go ahead. I'll go first, Maxine, Santa Claus. My son is waiting for me" Tita Desseri said goodbye and took a paperbag.
"Hey, let's go together Desserto! We're only going to one palace" said Tito Klaus and someone took another paperbag.
Aunt Maxine came out of the kitchen with a paperbag.
Oh, so they're visiting their own kids. But it's forbidden to go out, isn't it? Sabagay. They are influential and intelligent. They can get through without any difficulty.
"Bye, sweetie! Bye Vhone!"
"We're first, Vhone, Von!"
"Me too, Bye"
They said goodbye to each other but left at the same time. Mama and I just looked at each other sitting on the sofa and sighing.
"Mom, I thought you had a meeting today?" wrinkled when I asked to remember that thing.
He smiled. "Only to headmaster" I nodded at his answer.
Dad came out of the bathroom just in time with a towel.
He just stared at us and then entered their room. "Attitude" was pronounced at the same time by Mama. We stared again and laughed.
"Let's get ready at the dining table and when we're done eating" he said and stood up then held out his hand. I accepted that with a smile and went to the kitchen at the same time.
I have already placed three plates along with three pairs of spoon, fork and knife with table napkin.
I arranged them first then went back to the kitchen and took the three glasses. Mama put the rice and the dish in its two containers that Aunt Maxine had cooked earlier.
She's the chef, eh?
I took the jug with only water and put it in the middle of the table. Mama followed with the food.
Papa was right outside and just got home. We started eating and talked again.
After that, we worked together to help with the dishes, which included cooking and teasing. And then, we ended at the sofa.Resting ourselves.
Soon I decided to say goodbye. It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. And Mama and Papa's dorm mates haven't come home yet
"Thank you for this day. And your time, Ma, Pa. I hope we can do this everyday without a problems" I said goodbye. We both hugged me, so am I.
I felt Papa kiss my mound, followed by Mama with a caress on my hair.
"We're very sorry, honey. Your father and I are losing time with you. I also wished we were just like this and we didn't have any problems" Mama said. I nodded and hugged them more tightly.
"I'm confident that you'd grown up matured and understandable as we expected. Even we're not your side always, don't even think that we more than loved our works, than you, Devon. You are our precious. Our treasures. We love you most and infinity "Papa spoke. I smiled.
"I'm overwhelmed. I think I'm gonna cry" I said and spat in their embrace. Mama was teary eyed but smiling.
"Thank you, Ma.Pa." I sincerely and in a soft tone. The grains of my tears flowed. Dad immediately wiped it with his thumb.
Mama also couldn't stop herself from crying so I wiped her tears.
We can't be formed yet, right now.
Many more problems need to be solved. I knew they were having a hard time, but they tried to stand firm in front of me. So I will do the same.
We cried as if this is our last meeting. No one knows what will happen in the war.
"Just stay alive, my daughter. Gievhone and I will do everything to protect you" Dad promised as I nodded and sighed.
"I will do the same. I want us to still be together. I don't want to be separated from you"
And for the last time, we hugged and let go each other. I bid my goodbye waves to them and walked alone in the hallway.
They even wanted to take me so I refused. I don"t want to disturb them.
Instead of going to the dorm I just realized that I was going up the stairs to the rooftop.
I need some fresh air, first.
But someone stopped remembering. I forgot to mention the important information that will help in the war!
I just hit my head on the floor.
It's good that they didn't notice what was on my neck but I was dead. Also, about Crush din.
Geez. Why do I need to forget those important matters ?! Aisshht !!
I'll just say it again when I adore them. Maybe they're flirting there now. I don't want to be disturbed, there might be a hook. Pfftt.!
What am I thinking!
"Excuse me, baby" I came back to reality when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked around and a beautiful beauty with different hair colors, as well as her dress. He is just a little taller than me.
"Ah .... sorry" I apologized and stepped aside. He was coming off the rooftop because he was down the stairs.
It just smiled and walked away again. My eyes accidentally found his neck.
There is a rainbow tattoo there. He's not ugly, but cool to look at. She's familiar, though.
Where did I see him? I'm surely I've seen his face. But I don't remember where.
I just stared at it until I lost sight of it. I sighed and shook my head. I will also remember who he was. I went to the rooftop and opened the door then closed it.
I immediately turned around but frowned to see a man turn around.
Its hair is long and white. It also has a gold crown on it. Wearing a white cape lying on the floor. And dressed like a prince. Its golden sword hung at his side.
He was facing the scene and I could tell he was deep in thought. I shake my head again and ignored him.
I should not mind others if I don't want to be approached by someone.
I approached Teresa's guide. We are a big distance from each other. But I still can't get out of my mind who he is.
Who is he really?
"Leader Lunox. From Heaven Kingdom, if that's bugging on your mind."
My eyes open widely and gasped in shocked. He knows?
My brain still can"t process what is happening right now.
Leader Lunox of Heaven Kingdom. Is not far away beside me.
He is not old. He looks young. It's like Crush's age. It"s like Stan isn"t getting old.
Her long hair, which stretched down to her waist, suited her.
Even if he is only sideview, he is also handsome and has a perfect face.
Looks like an angel.
I didn't speak on what he'd said. He seemed to know the way I was staring at him even with his back turned.
She feels strong. But the strange thing is why he is here, and no soldiers surrounding him.
Did he come down here alone? Emerald told that Heaven Kingdom were above of us and nowhere to be found. Suppose you have a portal to enter to see the Heaven Kingdom. It is also invisible to any rivals who tries to ruin the kingdom.
"Moon Academy is a wide place. I'm so honored that my brother created this academy. But I never expected that this will be the pay for my brother's gratitude. War." there's a hint of bitterness in his voice.
His voice was not cold, indeed, it was gentle and humble. He looked at me that makes me petrified.
Indeed, a handsome leader.
"What's your name, lady?" he asked and smiled a little. He frowned and hesitated to answer
As far as I know, a Leader Lunox is cruel and cold-that's from Savannah's mouth
I sighed first and answered his question. "Devon"
It nodded and looked at the academic scene again. I can see the palace and other buildings here. Even the forest
"I can see you a lot of resemblance to my daughter, Divine" he began and sighed. So, he had a daughter?
"What .... happened to her?" I doubtfully asked. It looked at me so I was shocked. "If .... If you don't mind."
"I killed her." I covered my mouth at his answer and averted my eyes. That offends me ata.
"Sorry." I immediately apologize.
"It's fine, then. By the way, what do you think about, War?" he said as he changed the topic. That offends me. I sighed.
"It's just a waste of time" was a hint of boredom in my tone. I heard its short laugh.
"You are the type of lady that is not interested in joining war." he commented. I nod.
"Will everyone go to war if we can just go home and talk?"
"Because they are not satisfied with just chit chats only. They want more than that. They're thirst of blood, and becoming killing machines." he replied. I laughed briefly
to realize.
"My bad. I remembered, once a soldiers, always a soldiers. They never .... be enough with just talking only." I stated and looked at him calmly.
"Then why do I talk with the M.A.'s rivals? Your going to kill me, aren't you?" I said as he pulled out his sword and put it on my neck.
I remained calm and seriously looked at him. He smirked, michievously.
"Any last words?" he asked. My face expression changed into frowned one.
"You don't fitted to be a villain in this story, Leader Lunox"
Its loud laugh seemed disgusted and pressed the tip of the blade licking sword into my neck.
"Don't judge the book by it's cover, my dear. An angel like me can turn to beast, anytime" he warned. Napa 'O' shaped my lip at his oh-so-called-scary-threat. Psh.
"Really? Do you know why the book cover chose to be judged because of its own looks and appearance outside?" I asked here and a smirk disappeared. Its forehead furrowed
"To protect and hide its own personality and hidden informations inside. They don't want to be opened and find the truth. They don't want even their important things to be criticized as well." I answered on my question
Two fingers of my hand took the tip of the sword which was really sharp and cut off the tip of it. He was still a little surprised, at least in my mind. How did I break that?
Shock and astonishment already registered on his face. I continued again even though my knees were actually shaking.
"As I've seen on your face on what I said, like I did on your sword, its pointless. You're pointless" I said and lowered his sword completely.
"An angel turned to beast immediately? I bet that's a sin"
"I'm the villain! And I wouldn't be like this if you didn't start!" his tone was mixed with anger, bitterness, and pain.
"It can't be started without being threatened" I replied. His eyebrows met and he was obviously angry.
"I told you, Leader Lunox. It's not okay for you to be an opponent because you're not an opponent. You're just being baited by the real opponent" I corrected him, which made him even more confused.
"What do you mean? What do you know?" its sequential question. I sighed and looked up at the sky
"He's toying with us all." I ejaculated and looked at him again. She's in a mess.
"Try to figure it out, Leader Lunox. Identify who is trustworthy and who is not. There are only four days to change everything." I let him know that he calmed down and looked ahead. He sighed deeply.
"I trusted no one but myself." he said.
"Trust me, then. Let me clear your mind, Let me help you" I suggested. Here's the chance. When I get her heart, I will say everything.
"Then prove it." he challenged me to cry.

"Hey daredevy! Why are you coming back so late?" Emerald muttered as soon as I entered the dorm.
It's been 5:21 p.m. It's in the evening and I feel hungry because I'm tired of speaking. I just gave her a little smile and fell to lie down on the bed.
I'm exhausted.
"Mrs. Solaire said after lunch. It's going to be night oh!" Savannah's fuel frowned. I just shook and sighed.
To be continued...
