Hovictus: The Rise of the Archeans

Chapter 48 - Shame

I locked myself in my room because I was ashamed of the incident. Every time I was called to eat, I went out. Because I need to see and I can still see the Krieldyr at the same time. He smiles at me. I smiled at him too but I went immediately and turned my gaze to Shawn. Felxir is always with us. Nor does he really change expression. Every time I look at him, he glances at me.

Whenever I see Felxir, I remember I was just pretending. I'm afraid that later he might suddenly say that I'm not the princess.

"Stupid. I'm not going to tell your secret to anyone. That's an order." I heard a small voice in my mind. What the hell? He can also do what Pj does to me. He can talk to me using his mind.

"Stupid your face. Even when you're so bad. Your name is a good thing for you. But Dark is more appropriate for you because you're a slave of darkness!" I noticed that he seemed to smirk. That's how it is, they only get emotional when they are annoyed or disgusted.

"I will take that as a compliment." I scolded him. I'm the one who's really upset with him. I noticed that he smiled. Am I going to be scared? A Prince of Darkness smiles at me? I made a face.

"Ehem," I turned to Prince Air. Actually I was distracted by everything. They were all looking at Felxir and me. Embarrassing. I glanced at Prince Krieldyr secretly. His forehead was furrowed. He might think there's something about Felxir and me. Because this pest man smiled at me.

"Chill Shiela, I like it when Krieldyr is Jealous. Look at his face, priceless." Nakakainis tong si Felxir e. He was not only annoying me but also his twin. Are they really twins? Well of course because they have the same habit. It's as if they don't call each other siblings.

I avoided their meaningful stares. I said goodbye as soon as we finished partying. I immediately picked up Shawn and went straight to my room. I don’t want to be intrigued by anyone. I want peace.

Nothing is as busy. The vampires seemed to rest first. So in short it looks like a sembreak? Well, I'm also close because I'm a year in Ezklisea Academy. The speed of time no?

I kept thinking .. Is there an event here on Valentine's day? Maybe Megan was very famous that day. It's not even February 14 but he's famous. What else could it be that day?

Something came to my mind so I didn't realize it was dawn. Shawn was already asleep so I thought of leaving the room first. I peeked outside first because I might see the Prince. I hid and avoided them.

I was able to breathe easily because there was nothing. Only guards were outside. I just pretended to walk so no one could hear. I also sneaked into the guards. If you are a vampire, you can also see your fellow vampires if they run fast.

Every morning I drink blood. I can't help myself. I could not control my thirst. It's burning with pain if I try to stop it. The dear king knows what is happening to me. He also could not understand what I was going through. And why at twelve in the morning I feel thirsty. This is not the job of magical vampires because they don't want to kill animals. I'm also used to not drinking blood so I really wonder why I'm like this.

My fangs also come out often. Maybe it's the effect of Felxir biting my neck. That man is so shameless!

"No. It's not my fault young lady." I was about to have a heart attack when Felxir suddenly appeared next to me. We are both now looking at the beautiful lights that can be seen in the academy. I just noticed that there are a lot of Lanterns floating around. There are fireflies, but they only look like they are because there are so many of them.

"Young lady? Are you old enough?" He shook his head.

"Nope. I just don't want to call you Princess cause I know you're not." Ouch. Truth really hurts. I know. He only says Princess when facing other vampires, especially other Princes.

"I'm just curious huh? Who are you in the life of the Princess?" He looked at me full of emotion. I can’t understand why he’s like this now. He seemed offended by what I said.

"Who are you to ask that? You are nothing but just a normal magical vampire." What I heard seemed to pierce my heart. It hurts so much to be told that I'm nothing. At least he's right, I'm just nothing and I'm not in the place to talk to him like that. My fault.

"I-I'm sorry." I was about to leave when he suddenly pulled me back. Is he a problem? I struggled.

"One thing, I know you really love my brother right?" I don’t know why I deliberately nodded at his question. Totoo naman e. I don’t want to fool my own feelings. And I know this man will also know how I feel for his brother. Mind reader kasi. Letse.

"You should learn how to move on." Wow, big word! Move on. I laughed.

"Not so funny young lady. I'm just saying what is best for you." I went to what he said. I laugh because I want to cover up the pain I feel with every word he says. I want to cry right now.

"Don't fall in love. Fall off a bridge, it hurts less." I was bored with what he said. I scolded him. I heard someone say 'just kidding' and I knew it was him.

"Don't fall for someone who won't be there to catch you. Everything that falls gets broken." He walked away from me. He was slowly disappearing from my sight.

"Stop falling in love with the wrong man." And he was gone forever. There was only one thing to say then. He wanted to stop my love for Krieldyr. He is right. I should learn how to move on. In the end I was the only loser. But how can I move-on if he himself is getting closer and closer? Why is this happening to me?

It hurts. Very painful. I want this impersonation to end. I just want to be free. I want to run away. I want to go back to the world of people. I would rather have the Queen tell me of misfortune because of the unfortunate events. I want to be bullied.

Hopefully I can bring back the past so that I don’t fall for the man who will never love me. I hope he's not the only one I love.

I felt someone hug me. I was afraid it might be Prince Krieldyr. I saw Prince Ice. I'm wondering. I wiped away my tears without stopping. I forced myself to smile at him.

"What's your problem? I'm here to listen." I thought about it. I can not say. But in lovelife, it's okay.

"Hi-I don't love Prince Krieldyr." White Lie. Of course I can't tell that I love him because I'll have a harder time. Felxir disapproves of my love for her brother e.

Instead of being surprised, Prince Ice smiled.

"So I have a chance?" I was still wondering. What does he say he has a chance to do?

"What do you mean?" He looked at what I was looking at before but now I'm just looking at him. There seems to be something wrong e. There is something wrong with him.

"I like you Princess Light. Let me help you." I'm backwards. No. No it can't be. How is Invi?

"Liar. I don't believe you." He was better than me. Why do the Princes tend to shake hands? Are they sweet? Pwes to me are not. I'm irritated. I'm nervous again. Why is Ice acting like this? Is he losing his mind? But his stare and smile at me have been as strange as ever. He also looked at me differently when he told me about Concentrate. I admit that I first admired him when I was new here. But because Prince Krieldyr is the one I love.

"I'm serious. I really like you." I want to be lost in the world. Why has my life become more complicated? What have I done wrong to make myself look like this. I don’t want to hurt Invi.

"How about Invi? She loves you for Pete's sake! Are you numb?" It seems to have become more awkward. I slipped. I said Invi loves him. Hala lagot ako.

"She is just a friend. Nothing more, nothing less. I really like you." He was about to hug me when suddenly someone came between us. Prince Krieldyr?

"Prince Felxir." Ah little pala. Why am I thinking of Krieldyr? They are the same as Prince Felxir. Same body and fond of black. I really thought he was. I was disappointed.

"Back-off, Ice. She's my girlfriend." My eyes widened. They can't see my expression because I'm behind Felxir. I'm just the shoulder of those e. I'm not small. They are just tall.

"I'll help you with Ice and Krieldyr. Say yes if he asks if it's true." I heard Felxir's inner voice. He is helping me? There's nothing wrong with me sitting down, is there? At Least Prince Krieldyr knows I don’t love him. Maybe it's okay for him not to hope. What about when the Princess returns? What if they love each other?

"We will never know if she will really come back. You know she's already here." His inner voice again. I turned to Ice who couldn't speak. He looked at me. I noticed that his hand was clenched. I felt sorry for him if he really likes me. The feeling is not mutual.

"Is it true Princess Light? So that's why you said you're not in love with Krieldyr because you are actually in love with his Twin." I was saddened by what he said. I lied. I lied to everyone.

"Ye-Yes. I'm in love with Felxir." Lie. I lie for the good of all. I know I won't get anything out of it.

There is no good substitute. I knew in the end I was the loser. They will all be angry. I am ready for that. It's okay for me to be killed for lying.

"You're in love with Felxir." I looked behind me. Anytime I will cry again. I saw Krieldyr's dark look. He shows me fury and hatred. I'm scared. I was hurt because I knew I had hurt him. I raised my pride so I wouldn’t cry. If I cried, he would be surprised.

Felxir accompanied me. I'd like to remove his arm around in case I thought it was okay for Krieldyr to believe. You can't blame me if I don't want to rely on him. I am not the woman he loves. And I'm definitely not the woman he'll love.

"I'm the only one he remembers Twin. I'm so sorry." Ah sh*t. Why did he say that? It's even more complicated. I heard what he said to trust me so I just sat down.

"This is sh*t. Bullsh*t. Fvck. I really love you Princess Light." He stepped on the Big vase so it broke. This caught the attention of the guards. As well as other Princes came out. I also saw Fairy and Megan wandering. The king is gone.

I took courage even though I was hurting. This is for your own sake Prince Krieldyr cause I know someday, your Princess will be back. I'm sorry if she's not me.

"The feeling is not mutual. I really love your brother. When we were kids, he was what I wanted. I'm sorry if I don't remember you, huh? I was just so lucky that I remembered the man who was always by my side when I was a kid. . " His eyebrows rose.

"I was the man you were always with then. Not him!" He shouted. I still hold back my tears.

"We're always together Twin. You just don't know. Whenever he's not by your side I'm always with him. He even spends more time with me than you. He only considers you a friend. Do you still remember when You first saw Light and me together? You saw how happy he was. " I just went. I hugged Felxir because my tears were already dripping. I pressed my face to his chest. As long as it drips e. I can not take it anymore.

"Fvck you. All this time you cheated on me. What the hell." I didn't see Krieldyr's reaction because I didn't want to look my eyes wide. Felxir hugged me.

"We didn't fool you. You're the only one who blindfolded."

"Okay. Where you're happy Princess, I'll let you. For the last time, I love you. I really do." I heard his footsteps away.

"I'm sorry Ice. She's mine. My brother is letting Light in on me. I hope you are too." I felt cold so I was dilated. I was somewhere else. The speed this man really acted.

I just sobbed because I was in so much pain. It hurts so much to see the man you love hurt because of you.

"I hate my life, I want to die!" I shouted.

"That's why I can't say to you anymore because she doesn't love you. I thought she really loves you. How many times did she tell me that? I can't believe that she can still be in love with your twin? I was just .. what the hell! This is probably the craziest love story I've ever seen. I can't believe my best friend. I'm going crazy! " Earlier Megan was walking around while messing up his hair. She doesn't know how Felxir and Light have been in love with each other. There's something that blocks her magic when it comes to Light and Felxir.

"Stop it. You're being paranoid." Krieldyr said.

"I just can't. I'm being useless for the second time. I can't even use my magic on them. I'm sorry kuya. I felt sorry for what happened." Megan whispered. Krieldyr shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't be. Let's just forgive and forget. If she's happy with my twin, let her. We are not born to please anyone. We just need to understand them."

"But you won't even fight her? You waited for her for how many years and of course, you love her with all your heart. I know Icerielle loved you and she can still love you because you're once her man."

"Once. Not now. Stop being my Megan. I'm done with all these sh*ts. Maybe we're not meant to be. I loved her." Megan took a deep breath.

"Okay. I gave up. Yeah you LOVED her. How cool." Megan is being sarcastic again. She pointed out the word LOVED. She's a Megan so she knows Krieldyr is still in love with the Princess. However, she's so happy because Krieldyr is one of a kind. He will sacrifice his own happiness for the one he loves. It shows how strong he is.

"Megan, is Ice really in love with the Princess?" His heart is shattered into a million pieces.

"Nope. He likes Icerielle. He is not in love. I don't know what's going on."

"Oh. I thought we're both brokenhearted." Krieldyr laughed. A laugh full of pain.

"Ha-Ha funny. You still know how to make a joke when you're not okay." Krieldyr scolded him. He felt sorry for his older brother. She's Megan but she doesn't know how to soothe the heart so much pain is being experienced. He can't understand that whoever loves so much and has waited so long is the one who will be hurt so much.

"Instead of talking non-sense, help me getting over her." Megan's eyes widened.

"Is this for real? Are you ready?"

"Yep. I just realized that nothing will happen in my life if I just focus on him. There are still many women out there. I know Felxir is a jerk but still, he won't be going to hurt Light. I'm letting him go to my sister. It's better for him to go than the others. I'm satisfied that he's in good condition. I will trust my brother. I know him. I'll just be sorry to them that I told them they cheated on me. "

"I'm so proud of you. You've done nothing but love Light but you're still the one who's sorry." Megan gave a hug to his brother.

"Hey." Ice suddenly sat down next to Krieldyr. He was with the other Prince.

"That's why I don't like love. It will hurt and you will only be hurt." Prince Rock whispered. Megan was silent. She could not bear what the man said. Man who wants to want, wrong, dear. Megan immediately said goodbye. Krieldyr understood him so he let it go.
