Chapter 135: 135: The Prince Calls


"it was all because of this incident.." Lenny completed.


"So what do you plan on doing now? Are you going to meet Leo and tell him all you found out?" Lenny asked.


Eden thought for a while "I don’t know yet. I’m still wondering if I should tell him all these.. or not yet.."


"Well you’ll have to decide fast because you’ll have to meet with him soon. At least you’ll have to say something to escape there alive" Lenny pointed out.


Eden nodded "I know. I believe by then I’ll come up with something"


"But about Elvis..." Eden said "Do you think we should at least help them resolve whatever is between them?"


Lenny thought "That would be a topic for another day honestly. First, try surviving Leo and gain his trust with this maybe. Then we’ll talk about helping them"


"Makes sense" Eden nodded "I guess we’ll go with that"


*******


Lysander was in his room.


He lay in bed almost throughout the day, staring at the ceiling.


He couldn’t stop thinking about Eden. Couldn’t stop thinking about Felix taking him away.


And also couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that he had potentially lost his chance with Eden even before anything happened between them.


The thought of it left him hurting. He was sad about it and he couldn’t stop running his hands through his hair in frustration at the thought of it.


He later sat up in bed and requested for some drinks from his maid.


He wanted to spend his time drinking and potentially forget about everything at least.


The maids brought him drinks. Lots of it. And they set up a table for him too in his room.


Lysander sat down before the table and began pouring himself some drinks.


He drank and drank and drank until he got drunk.


Lysander mumbled to himself while he continued pouring himself more.


He wasn’t much of a drinker. And he seldom did drink and had only drank a few times.


The times when he did drink was when he was with his father. His father would always demand he drink since it was a "manly" thing to do.


But this was his first time drinking alone. All because he wished to forget about everything.


If that was possible.


He continued pouring himself some drinks while gulping them all down.


He sat there staring into thin air while mumbling words to himself.


".... it’s nothing..." He mumbled.


"...I can still tell him another time..."


"... maybe he’s awake now... Or sleeping..."


".... And who’s that guy... Why is he so close to him....?"


"...I should tell him now. So he’ll consider me...."


"... maybe I should..."


He mumbled words to himself while he drank. And he got to a moment when he looked up to his butler standing beside him. Keeping an eye on him.


"How may I help you, your highness?" He asked.


"That... Eden... Eden.. call me.... I want to tell him something important..." He said.


"Huh? Eden..? Who’s that..?" The butler didn’t seem to know him by name.


"The wizard..." Lysander muttered "Wizard..."


"Ah ...." The butler realised "Okay then. I’ll go call him for you, your highness"


Lysander was still muttering some inaudible words while the butler took off to call Eden as The prince requested.


*******


It was night already. And Eden was just done taking his bath.


He was dressed in his robe. A white robe which he fastened with a white cord around his waist.


Eden was standing in front of the mirror that night, fixing his blonde hair and all while getting ready to go to sleep that night.


When a knock came on his door.


He looked up "And what’s that now..." He thought as he said aloud "Come in."


Lysander’s butler walked in.


"What?" Eden stared at him.


"Prince Lysander calls for you" He casually passed the information.


"For me?" Eden thought "why though?"


"I don’t know. He requests I call for you" He informed Eden.


Eden thought for a while "Is he still sad about today?" Eden recalled that he left the poor thing for Felix.


So he thought that maybe he was still sulky about it "I guess I’ll have to go and personally coax him myself"


Eden got to go his feet and walked towards the door "Let’s go"


The Butler stared at Eden, shocked.


Eden also stared at him, meeting his shocked expression "What?"


"Are you going out... In those?" The butler seemed speechless.


Eden looked at himself.


He was wearing a white robe. It was a short sleeved robe, so his fair and delicate hands were exposed.


The robe was only covering just above his knees, so his fair and pretty legs were also exposed.


It had a V shape in front from the crossing, so Eden’s chest was partially exposed along with his collarbones.


"Yes. I’m going with this. What’s wrong with it?" Eden replied casually.


The butler blinked "But.. you.. it’s.."


Eden glared at him "I’m only passing through the hallway, it’s not like I’m going outside the palace or something. So stop being dramatic and let’s go"


He turned and walked off without the butler.


The butler followed him. He possibly couldn’t stop Eden from wearing something more covered on their way.


So he’d have to follow behind.


Eden didn’t feel bothered at all. He casually strolled through the Hallway while adjusting the cord of his robe.


His chest was still exposed, his hands and legs drawing attention as he passed.


The male guards couldn’t stop themselves from staring at Eden’s skin as he walked past.


He smelled of flowers from his night’s bath. And his skin was as fair as a maiden’s. He looked delicate and pretty and so they couldn’t help but stare, while also questioning themselves for staring at a fellow man like that!


Eden pretty much enjoyed the attention he was getting so he confidently walked past them while adjusting the V shape on the chest of his robe.


The guards tried looking away while gulping, running their Adams apple without control while being captivated by Eden’s skin.


While the butler followed behind Eden, dying in shame.
