“I remember our meet time was at 5:45 p.m.?” I ask questionably, hand at my hip.
“I want to see you practice swordsmanship.”
I nod and roll my eyes in a ‘whatever you say’ manner. Well, it’s not like this is the first time he came unannounced.
“But I have a question. Why is he here?” Azher points to Killian who is standing beside me. Killian gives him a ‘Hah?’ look.
“Killian helps me practice.” I give out a simple answer.
“Why?”
“Because he’s-”
“My lady’s knight.” Killian cuts me off, answering Azher’s question first.
“Is that so? I never meet a knight who trains with his lady.” Azher walks to Killian, glaring. “And dares to cut off their lady while speaking.” He continues.
“Well, Your Highness just met one now.” Killian replies in a slack manner.
I, who is in the middle of them both can see the tension and lightning sharp stares from their eyes. Very tense.
‘Hohoho… What’s this? Two men fighting

“Yeah… I find it unbelievable that I’m with the true inventor of the empire right now.” I say, giving her a tender look which she doesn’t notice. She laughs softly, pausing her current work, and gives me her full attention. “What’s with the praise? I thought that mouth of yours don’t know how to flatter.” “This isn’t me trying to flatter you.” “Huh?” “Truthfully, I dislike interacting with people and prefer to be alone. Yet, you… I don’t know why but I find your company enjoyable.” “Is that so? I’m glad.” She wears a warm lovely smile, lovelier than all the flowers here combined. Unconsciously, I speak, “You know, you changed me so much that I find myself unfamiliar.” “Pardon?” “U-Uh… How about we dig in? It wouldn’t taste good if the food is cold.” I stutter, quickly grabbing the eating utensils placed beside the food. “Sure…” She says indifferently, also reaching her eating utensils. ***
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 22: Two Hearts (Pt.1)
I avert my eyes away, cheeks and ears both heating up. My mind is occupied with only a question – how will Airis react? Though my heart is on the verge of exploding, who knew I’d feel good when it gets off my chest. ‘…I did it. I confessed-’ *Bam-!* I startle. The sound of the table being slammed once again echoed throughout the restaurant. Unexpectedly, Airis rises from her seat with a very determined expression – while slamming the table unconsciously. Her head turns around with eagle eyes that seem to scan every angle of the restaurant, not leaving a single blind spot. Less than a minute, she hurriedly runs outside in a flash, as if late for an important meeting. “…” I’m too stunned to even speak anything. Was she always this dense?! Despite that, I follow her out to the restaurant’s entrance. She is searching thoroughly while turning her head left and right non-stop, putting all her effort into finding my ‘crush’. “Found her?” I ask.

“You ready?” “Does it look like I’m not?” I ask, opening my arms. “Confident, I like.” Felix sneers, patting my back. “Is Airis coming?” “She’s already here.” “This early? Did you see her?” “I met her and she had a little something for you.” He takes out a cream envelope from his pocket. I quickly snatch it, thrilled to know the contents. As I open the envelope and am about to read the letter, Felix buts his head in. I give him a stingy glare. “Jeez… So secretive.” He scowls, yet backs away while holding his hands up like surrendering. “I’ll be checking the security and guards. Don’t take too long.” I nod. *Thud.* Felix closes the door, resulting in me alone in my bedroom. Staring at the letter in hand, I quickly read it. Good luck with the voting session today! I am confident you will get the most votes. Even if you do not, you have mine! – and the worst-case scenar
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 22: Two Hearts (Pt.3)
“I don’t see what’s wrong with calling a piece of sh*t ‘a piece of sh*t’.” I remark coldly. “Killian, unmask him.” I order. Killian nods, taking off his mask using his sword, and throwing it away. ‘Oh, he is…’ Count Gall Lorence, one of Aiden’s judgemental supporters. But his family isn’t that influential nor wealthy to execute such a crime. Somebody must be behind him. “Hey, pale one. What did this ‘responsible’ count offer?” I ask, turning to the other man. “He… fainted, my lady.” Killian informs indifferently. “Such a coward for someone who tried to earn money the dirty way.” I roll my eyes. “So, Count. Wanna confess?” “You ain’t getting anything out of me, b*tch!” “Hah, is that so?” I scoff, slowly pushing the heel of my high heel into his head. “Ahhh-!” He screams in excessive pain. “I’m sure you know that I’ve slain over 10 magical beasts at once and destroyed a man’s entire bloodline durin
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 23: Escaping The Friendzone (Pt.1)
*Creak…* The door slowly opens as I enter. The corners of my lips carve a small joyful smile upon seeing a certain somebody sitting on my desk with her legs crossed as if it’s hers. “You’re here.” Airis gets down from my desk and walks towards me, but maintaining at least 4.5 feet in distance. “Yeah…” “…” “…” The atmosphere becomes quiet. Only the sounds of particles and specks of dust moving in the wind could be heard – if there is a sound. ‘…I should lighten the mood.’ “So, you-!” “So, you-!” We both said the same thing simultaneously, looking at each others’ eyes. In a moment, we quickly turn our heads aside, with intense redden cheeks and ears. “Uh… You first.” Airis insists, though her voice is as stiff as an iron rod. Through the corner of my eye, I see her head slowly return to me, the person she’s conversing with, but her gaze is placed elsewhere. “Ehem! So… h-how have you b
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 23: Escaping The Friendzone (Pt.2)
“Originally, I wanted to reject you cause I’m afraid of hurting you since I’ll return to my world. But now, I’m going to think only about the present.” I continue, without pulling my head out from his shirt. I’m afraid to meet his mesmerizing gaze. I don’t dare to look up with these heated up cheeks and ears. Though a satisfying and proud feeling flutters inside me. I succeed. I succeed in saying the heaviest and most embarrassing words I’ve ever said in both my current and previous life. “Ah!” I gasp as the arms around me embrace tighter. He rests his head on my shoulder which is covered with my hair. “…I’m happy. I’m happy you feel the same.” He confesses in a loving emotional tone, too near to my right ear that it tickles from the blowing strands of my baby hairs around it caused by his breathing. Remaining in that position for some time, we let go, freeing each other and keeping our arms to ourselves. The warmth of his embrace and hands brushing m
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 24: Our Picnic (Pt.1)
The smell of wood from the high multiple rows of bookshelves and books spike my nose. I have to praise the librarian and maids for taking good care of the mansion’s library. I doubt I’d sneeze due to dust because I don’t spot specks of dust anywhere. The library is quiet and peaceful. I haven’t stopped by for some of the time. I lean on the wall at the bay window with my legs extend to the front. Receiving vitamin D from the morning sunlight, I flip to the next page of the novel I’m currently reading, Travel To You – a story about a brother who searches the whole continent to find his lost sister. Its plot is kind of cheesy, but it’s heartwarming to see the brother never gives up on finding his sister, overcoming every obstacle that the author specially wrote for him. Living as Kira Vuitton, I was the eldest child. It’s a given that my 4 younger siblings – 2 boys and 2 girls – would depend on me after my parents. Due to that, I had always wished for an older brother
Vision Of Ardiane MEMORY 24: Our Picnic (Pt.2)
I pull my hair to my face to cover my red cheeks and ears – I don’t care if they’ll be ruined after this. Azher chuckles seeing me so. “I’m afraid I can’t fulfill my promise.” “What promise?” I face him again, my hair is still doing its job in hiding my expression. “I won’t propose to you in public. I refuse to let people see this cute side of you.” He speaks in a territorial tone. “Hah, you’re becoming more demanding lately.” “Only to you, my dear.” He winks adding a smirk. “Gosh, please stop with the cringe!” I yell, clenching my hair tighter. My heart can’t take this kind of treatment in one go! “Hahaha!” Azher laughs, his body shakes from the force of laughter. “Let’s go outside. I’ve prepared something for you.” He says, taking my wrist while I release my hair. “Wait. I need to ask Dad’s permission first.” “The duke permits it. I’ve asked him for you.” We start walking with my wrist in Azher
