Chapter 133: With Me

Chapter 133: 133: With Me


Prince Lysander was standing outside the Royal Library. Pacing left to right and back at the entrance.


He was still thinking about what he saw. The kiss Eden had with Felix. And he couldn’t help but feel terrible about it.


A part of him was pissed off. Angry that Eden was kissing someone else. But another part of him felt sad and defeated.


He paced around thinking of what he should do. He thought of leaving for his chamber and letting Eden stay with Felix.


But on the other hand, he figured that he wouldn’t feel at least leaving the two of them alone.


Having thought about that, Lysander made up his mind to go in again. He was hopeful at least. Hopeful that maybe he would still get a chance with Eden.


Still get a chance to tell him how he felt.


And so he turned and made his way into the Royal Library again.


But as soon as he walked, he was welcomed by the sight of Eden in tears.


******


Lysander and Felix stared at Eden who was in tears.


They were confused for a while as they walked up to him.


"What’s wrong?" Lysander found himself asking as the two of them stood before Eden "Why are you crying?"


Eden looked up at the two young men who stood before him, staring at him as though there was some trash on his face.


Eden blinked. He ran a hand through his eyes, wiping off the tears "Nothing. Nothing at all.."


Eden got up to his feet while closing the books in front of him "I think we’re done for today. We should get going then."


They still had their eyes on him.


Lysander stared at him with a worried expression while Felix stared at him, confused.


"Let me take you back to your room" Lysander offered, stretching out his hands to take Eden.


But Felix was faster.


Felix stretched out his hands too and took Eden by the wrist "I’ll take you to your room" He gently pulled Eden from the table side and to his side.


Feeling rather dejected, Lysander hesitated as he stared at the two of them.


"Your Highness" Felix now stared at Lysander "You have more important things to worry about. So you should go and get things done and let me handle him"


Lysander paused for a while without saying anything.


Eden on the other hand blinked as he stared at Felix who held him by his wrist and now stared at Lysander.


He could see the disappointed look in Lysander’s face and wanted to at least coax him or something.


"I don’t have anything doing, so I should be the one to take him back" Lysander said "So why should it be you?"


Felix stared at him for awhile and then said, firmly "Like I said, we’re closer. I’m his student. So you should leave him to me"


Eden glared at Felix "And what the hell are you saying" He brushed his hands free from Felix’s grip "Who even gave you the right over me"


He said, now staring at Lysander "Thanks for today. I really appreciate it because thanks to you, I’ve found what I’m looking for"


Lysander smiled back at Eden "No problem. It’s my pleasure"


"But I have to leave with him..." Eden now said "We have something to discuss so.. I’ll have to see you around then.. okay?"


Lysander blinked. He felt down about Eden’s choice. But there was nothing he could do.


He casually nodded while forcing a smile "Okay then. I understand. See you around ..."


Eden smiled back at him "Okay then..."


Felix didn’t let him finish his goodbye message but grabbed him by the wrist again. He pulled Eden and led him out of the royal library.


Eden followed him behind. Soon they were out of the room, leaving Lysander alone there.


Lysander stood there for a while, staring into thin air.


He felt terrible.


It felt as though he had lost his chance even before trying. He felt as though Eden had chosen someone other than him.


He felt bad about himself and everything. And he was also pissed about it at the same time. Pissed that he wasn’t chosen.


After staying there for awhile, he didn’t waste much time but left. Heading back to his chamber to lock himself up and probably sulk about it.


*******


"And what the hell was that even about?" Eden questioned, freeing his hands from Felix’s grip as they headed to his chamber.


"With the way you acted back then, someone would actually think that you’re in love with me or something" Eden said "Or are you in love with me for real?"


"Impossible. You’re just overthinking" Felix snapped. Arms folded as they headed to Eden’s chamber.


"Then why did you do that? You sounded rather possessive of me or something" Eden sighed.


"I was just saving you from that prince guy. He seems dangerous" Felix defended.


"Oh you mean dangerously kind and nice to me. Or dangerously in love with me? Which can’t you handle? Is it the fact that he’s kind to me or the one that he likes me?" Eden had his eyes on Felix.


"None. I just did what I felt like doing" Felix said "Beside, it’s only right I take my master with me. I can’t leave him to just anyone"


Eden raised an eyebrow at him "You do all the gay stuff and then claim to be straight"


"Huh?"


"Nothing" Eden smiled, brushing his words off "Let’s go" he led the way to his room.


*******


They soon arrived in his chamber as Lenny popped off and appeared on the bed. Sitting down.


"While I was away for some time" Felix started "I was actually looking into something and figured a way to practice magic without necessarily doing strange things"


Felix folded both his arms as he stared at Eden who was already sitting on the bed.


Eden blinked at him "What now?"
