Chapter 13: Prologue (His Bitter Past) – 12. Punishment

1. Prologue (His Past) - 12. Punishment

As soon as Angel came out from the hunting ground, he was greeted by people who wanted to congratulate him and he only replied to them with a formal smile. His eyes were still looking for her between them.

Despite having violated his uncle's orders, strangely than feeling worried about his punishment, he was even more worried that he might not see her again.
'Is she not coming? Did she forget her promise? Or is she waiting for me somewhere else? ' Not wanting to lose his time, he tried to split the crowd in front of him.
"Forgive me, please give me away."

He ran and looked for her in every corner of Golden Light Castle and still didn't find her.

Three hours had passed, but his effort was fruitless. He was breathing heavily as his steps stopped in the garden in the middle of the castle. He realized he shouldn't have behaved like this and he had never done anything as irrational as this before. This was the first time he had let his emotions overcome him.
'This is stupid. I feel like a fool ... 'But somehow his feelings kept pushing him to keep looking for her. Something that he even didn't understand why.

Suddenly he remembered, Ilex had danced with her last night.
'I'll ask him, her name.' That woman was the Peace Alliance Meeting's guest so she shouldn't be an ordinary woman.

He ran towards Ilex's room, but he stopped after he realized something.
'She broke her promise, maybe she changed her mind and didn't want to see me again.' Doubts began to fill his heart.

'Weird ... Why didn't she just give me her name last night? Why did she ask me to see her today? ' His doubts and suspicions grew, especially since she danced with Ilex before meeting him.
'Maybe she thinks all of this is just a game or maybe she did it just to return the favour to me.' And he could guess that actually, she already fell for Ilex.

Angel gave himself a bitter smile as his heart ached.
"Angelus Raizel, what do you expect? Acting like a fool all day for someone you just met," he muttered. He knew nothing good would happen if he let his feelings take over him and he was right ... Once he let his emotions take control of him, he only got disappointment. He walked to his room as he returned to his usual cold expression. Today, he won the competition but he felt like he was completely defeated.

As he was about to open the door to his room, a guard approached him.
"Your Highness, the king is calling you to the study room."

He took his hand off the doorknob and turned around.
"Take me there." A tired breath out of his mouth as he followed the guard to the study room. He knew what awaited him.
