Chapter 456 - Nostalgic

The look in Gideon\'s eyes was so deadly that Kione almost immediately blurted out his explanations to keep Gideon\'s wrath from mistakenly falling upon him. But as he opened his mouth, his eyes caught the light fae queen arriving at the scene as well. Her body was glowing and only a shimmer of her wings was seen before it disappeared behind her. She stopped quite a bit of a distance from them, and it seems as though she had absolutely no plan on helping him out of his current sticky and problematic situation. This sly queen…

Kione could only ruthlessly bite down on his lip as he stared at the light fae queen. Even from this distance from him, he could tell that she was looking at him so fiercely and he knew exactly what that intense look she had on her face was and the unspoken instructions of what she wanted him to do.

Shit shit shit! He cursed within him over and over because he knew that it was a lost cause, and he could no longer escape this. He literally had gotten himself trapped in this situation that was not fully part of his own making. Also, earlier on, he had already given his word to the light fae queen that he would cooperate and go along with her plans! But must she be so strict and cruel to demand him to carry out the plan in such a precarious and dangerous situation like this? Could she not feel Gideon\'s intensity?

Would it kill her to be more chill and not push things to happen so quickly? Kione could only cry on the inside. Is she really planning to find out what Gideon felt towards the human girl or is she actually planning to have me dead?! This is so not the right time and setting to provoke…

Suddenly, Kione trailed off from the ramblings within his own mind and let out a slow breath. Somehow, he realized that this was actually the most perfect time to provoke him. Gideon was not someone even he could easily fool with his high class and perfect acting. Most of the time, Gideon could easily recognize his motives and that was the reason why Kione had to made sure that the light fae queen understood that fact first and foremost. Now he regretted as it seemed that she too had realized that this was the perfect opportunity to get Gideon to be riled up.

Sighing again, Kione met Gideon\'s almost hellish gaze that was lighted up in anger.

"It\'s a surprise seeing you coming all the way here, my lord." Kione\'s naturally melodious voice echoed as he smiled meaningfully at Gideon. Outwardly, he still looked very relaxed despite the danger that was obviously looming over his head. However, inwardly, no one could tell that he was a wailing and sobbing mess, questioning the gods on why it was always him when trouble comes in the form of his prince, Gideon.

Gideon\'s face of course darkened even further after hearing how Kione\'s nonchalant tone floated over to him. Kione was not blind, and he could clearly see how Gideon\'s eyes stared malevolently at his hands which were lightly resting on the girl\'s narrow shoulders.

"What is she doing here? Why is she not resting in her own room?" Gideon finally spoke, his words clipped and tight, while his voice rumbled out in an incredibly dark and almost venomous quality.

"She had wanted to tour the castle. So I was accompanying her, right Vera darling?" Kione drawled out lazily as he craned his head to look at Vera, smiling at her. And though he could not see how Gideon\'s face was like right now, he unmistakeably felt the sudden heavy blast of dark pressure coming from him, hitting only Kione and totally avoiding Vera. What caused that blast? The claim of him touring her around the castle grounds? Or was it him using the endearment darling on Vera? Whatever it was that had triggered him, things seemed to be going according to plan as of now.

All of a sudden, before Kione could return his gaze to Gideon, the red-haired young lady was forcefully being ripped from his hands and then a strong punch flew towards him and landed squarely in the middle of his face.

Kione was pushed back until the door as Gideon grabbed his collar and pinned him against it. "And you f**king dared to bring her inside this filthy hall?" his eyes narrowed so darkly and dangerously, overflowing with deadly rage that Kione almost responded by lifting up his arms to raise and wave about his white flag. But somehow, he managed to keep up his acting mode, maybe due to this punch suddenly making him remember something. Kione licked his bleeding lip that was cut from the punch and looked up at Gideon. \'Ah, this is kind of nostalgic.\' He thought, somewhat delightedly to himself. It was truly too long since he had seen such real and intense interest being displayed by his old time friend. When was the last time Gideon had punched him like this? Years… so many years… since Leah died.

He remembered how back then, the three of them – him, Gideon and Azrael often fight amongst each other and every time they fought against each other, they never use their magic. Just their fists and raw strength and Kione remembered how the three of them always ended up laughing heartily together once their brawl was over. They had laughed at each other\'s bloodied and swollen face before healing themselves, so their families would not question them on what the hell had happened while they were together.

Somehow, experiencing a punch from Gideon again made him realize how he missed those times in the past. He chuckled to himself as he thought how crazy he must be to be able to reminisce on those earlier days just because he was being punched in the face by Gideon.. However, all these was only when Gideon was still really alive back then, and not just passing his days as a living dead. Does this mean that he would be finally coming back to life again? Because… just because of this small and human lady?
