Chapter 120: 120: Royal Library


Lysander slowly nodded with a smile "I can tell my mum and she’ll let me in"


Eden blinked as he instantly grabbed Lysander’s hands tightly. Lysander stiffened.


"Please do. I’ll rely on you for that. I’ll be so so so grateful" Eden smiled, enthusiastically.


"Oh.. I will. I promise" Lysander assured.


"Then I’ll wait for it" Excited, Eden stood on his toe, leaned forward and dropped a peck on Lysander’s cheeks.


Lysander’s face instantly flushed and his heart dropped as soon as Eden gave him a peck on the cheeks. His eyes wide as he stared at Eden


Eden smiled "You’re such a darling. Then I’ll wait for you"


Lysander was lost for a while. Having his heart beat without control while staring at Eden as though he was spellbound or something.


His bit his lower lips as he stared at the lips which Eden had pecked him with.


Eden was the second person to peck him. The first was his mother. And it was a motherly peck.


But this was different.


To Lysander, it seemed like a kiss.


Like his first kiss.


"Hello?" Eden waved a hand over his face to call him back to reality.


"Oh. Then I’ll be off" Lysander managed to say as he left, his face still red.


******


All Lysander needed to do was simple.


He met with his mother and said that he wanted to take his reading seriously.


That he wanted to read more of the royal works from the Royal Library. And that he wished to gain more knowledge about royalty history and stuff.


Queen Lea was simply pleased to hear that from him. She was happy that her son was finally taking himself seriously.


And so she didn’t waste any time to grant him the permission to go in.


She handed him her Royal plaque that would help him go in and out without anyone stopping him.


"Thank you, mother. I’ll work harder!" he smiled as he turned and took off, happy.


Queen Lea casually watched him leave with a big smile on her face. She was so proud of her son who had decided to take his education seriously.


"I can already feel that he will make a great ruler. My efforts are finally paying off" she said, proudly.


*******


By the time Lysander arrived at where he left Eden, Eden already had a veil on.


"I’ll use it to hide my face. So they don’t recognise me" He explained.


Lysander smiled as he showed him the plaque "I got it. Access to the library. So we can go"


Eden’s eyes lit in excitement as he stared at the plaque "You really did it...?"


"I promised I would. So of course I did" Lysander stated proudly. "Now let’s go"


The two of them left, heading to the Royal Library.


*****


Elvis lay there in bed. All alone in the room as he let out a deep sigh.


He looked around in the room as his eyes met the fruit tray that sat on the table.


He stared at it for a while "How rude. How could he leave just like that?"


He stretched his hands and grabbed an apple. But he stared at it for a while "Isn’t he always stubborn? Why then did he give up when I told him not to feed me"


It was more of a thought. A mumble which his lips made. One he wasn’t even sure he was making.


But immediately the words came out in a mumble, Elvis instantly threw away the apple. It flew over the bed and fell to the ground.


He blinked, fear all over his face as he stared at the apple on the ground "What the hell am I thinking..."


He shook his head "I need to meet Helen soon"


******


He waited for Mr George to arrive. And when Mr George came to see him, Elvis said.


"I want you to tell Helen that I want to meet her. I’ve been so busy with things lately that I haven’t had time to meet her"


Elvis wanted to go and see her again. Something he had always done before Eden broke into his life.


He had always made time to go and meet her. Even though she didn’t necessarily wish to see him. He always met her.


He always tried winning her over whenever he met her. And he was certain he was making some progress before Eden stepped in.


And now his romantic pursuit was ruined.


He was too busy handling him and his now chaotic life that he didn’t have time to go meet her.


But at least he had Mr George check up on her from time to time. To know if she was doing okay, and to check if the poison was already taking effect.


And strangely enough, it wasn’t.


"Okay. I’ll go and inform her that you wish to meet her" Mr George said.


Elvis nodded "Yes. Please".


For some reason, he felt like he needed to see more "ladies" to clear his mind that he believed was acting strangely lately.

Lysander and Eden had a smooth entry into the Royal Library.


It was much bigger and more grand looking than the other one.


There were more books and the books there looked more old.


Eden figured this was where the real gems were.


With a smile, he approached the shelves and began looking through it.


Lysander had his eyes strolling through the library. It was also his first time being here.


And while he was distracted, A white dust flew down from Eden’s pocket and turned back into a cat. Lenny.


"So let’s begin looking for those clues" Lenny said to Eden as he stared around.


Lysander had turned to Eden to hear some sound. And he caught sight of the cat "Oh. The cat..."


With a smile, Lysander walked up to Lenny. He bent down and started stroking Lenny’s back "I haven’t seen it in awhile"


Lenny rolled his eyes. He came here for an important task and not to be someone’s petting animal.


But Eden smiled, staring at Lenny’s pissed off expression.
