Chapter 127: 127: Jealousy..?
"No- nothing?" Mr George was shocked "How can you say nothing when.. when he’s using you?"
"Like I said" Elvis said "I’m not doing it for her. I’m doing it for myself. And besides, aren’t we both playing each other?"
Elvis added "When the time is right and he heals me, I’ll have him dead. And that’s it. Everyone’s playing each other. So why get dramatic about it?"
Elvis was calm about it. But Mr George couldn’t help but stare in shock and panic. He couldn’t believe the Crown Prince’s words.
"How can you say that. You should end the game now. We’ll find other ways to cure you. There must be some other means...there surely will be"
He stared at Elvis "So stop this now before it’s too late. He’s dangerous, he can’t be trusted. Don’t play further games with him"
Mr George was worried about Elvis. Especially for the fact that ever since he had gotten close to Eden, good things haven’t happened to him.
He was punished publicly at the ball and suffered humiliation because of Eden. And now he was shot with a poisoned arrow and was at death’s bed because of Eden as well.
He feared that Elvis would die even before Eden found the so-called cure. He feared that was actually Eden’s plan.
But Elvis was calm about it "Don’t worry about anything. I’m fine. And I can handle it"
He was being stubborn about it and Mr George couldn’t help but worry more. He wished the crown prince would listen to him at moments like this.
"You can’t keep suffering while with him. This is his plan. To put you through hell and end you in death before he finds whatever cure. He’s out to kill you. So you can just find a way to kill him. Then we’ll find a cure..."
"Only he has the cure" Elvis said "And don’t worry, he’ll keep his words"
Elvis believed Eden’s words. He wanted to believe them. Especially since Eden had gone extra mile to save him at the banquet. So he wanted to believe that he’ll at least keep his words.
But all Mr George could do was panic.
"And... what about what I asked you to do? To keep an eye on him to see what he’s been up to" Elvis asked.
He had asked Mr George to keep an eye on Eden whom he felt might be up to something.
Considering how he’s not been coming to pester him around like he always did.He figured he might be doing something else. Something mischievous.
He wanted to keep an eye on him under the excuse that "he doesn’t get into another trouble that would implicate him too"
"And yes. I also found something" Mr George said "He and Prince Lysander have been going to the Royal Library lately"
"Royal Library?" Elvis repeated "Why though?"
"I don’t know the details. But they go there and spend almost the whole day there" Mr George explained.
"Lysander doesn’t seem like one who likes to read. So what is he doing there alone with him.. almost the whole day.. why...?" Elvis thought.
"The wizard of EL could be shameless.." Elvis muttered "So what’s he doing in there with... Lysander.."
Elvis’s mind had gone somewhere else. He had thoughts of Eden pinning Lysander against the wall and taking advantage of him.
Kissing him and maybe even doing more to him.
Them all alone in the library. All day long, what could they possibly do?
That scenario was the first thing to come to Elvis’s mind. Judging from his experience with Eden, that was what he could come up with.
And the thought of it sent shivers down his spine "That shameless.. does he do that with everyone...?" He thought, irritated as he found himself recalling the moment Eden got intimate with him in bed.
"I think that wizard is up to something..." Mr George said.
Elvis’s mind was still on the intimate moment he had with Eden. He got irritated thinking about Eden having that same moment with Lysander "He’s surely up to something.."
Mr George nodded "Going to the Royal Library which is only reserved for royalty?"
"I know right...why would he go that far to do that..." Elvis muttered. His mind wasn’t there.
"I have a feeling he’s probably looking for some confidential information" Mr George concluded.
"Yes. He’s probably trying to ruin the prince’s innocence in there" Elvis said subconsciously, his mind still lost in thoughts.
But after he let out the words, he jerked back to reality as he looked at Mr George "Huh? What did you say?"
Mr George stared at Elvis in shock wondering if he heard him right. "What...?"
Elvis now considered what Mr George said "Yeah... you’re right. He’s certainly going there to collect confidential information" he nodded profusely.
Elvis didn’t think about that. He was too busy picturing Eden pinning Lysander down and flirting with him all day in the Royal library.
He had seen how close Eden and Lysander had grown recently. He couldn’t help but observe it when they were on the haunting feast.
And for some reason, the idea of them getting close had him rolling his eyes.
He figured that maybe he was irritated because he was worried about his little brother getting close to a demon?
Yes. He went with that. He was simply worried for his brother.
Even now, he was too engulfed in indecent thoughts that he didn’t consider that Eden might actually have gone for the confidential information in the Royal library.
And he had taken Lysander with him since he couldn’t access there himself.
That made more sense. He should have thought about that first. And not the other thought he had.
"That makes more sense. That’s most certainly what they went there to do. Seek confidential information.." Elvis nodded.
And for some strange reason, the thought that they might have actually gone for the confidential information stuff and not for the initial thought he had, made him feel at ease.
Strangely.
