After the meeting Bel stormed out of the great hall and headed up to his room. He was really annoyed. Half an hour before the meeting was finished, Fran had got up and left the room. Bel was about to do the same but his mother stopped him and gave him a deadly look. He understood at once that his mother didn't want him to leave.
He was not happy at all. That little kid could leave whenever he wanted but he, the prince of this country couldn't.
"If I ever see that kid again, I swear to God I'll kill him!" Bel hissed.
He slammed open his door and in his room he saw…
"Hey. Took you long enough." In Bel's room was the actual tealette himself. What the hell is he doing here, Bel thought. Even so, he didn't exactly care because this was the perfect time to kill him.
"I'm going to stab you until no one can recognize you anymore!" Bel hissed at the tealette.
"Oooh…how scary!" Fran teased.
Bel was seriously raging right now. How dare he tease the prince!? Though for some reason, Bel liked the teasing…what the hell was wrong with him?
"What are you doing here?" Bel asked.
"Waiting for you" Fran replied.
"Why?"
"Remember when we first met, in the streets?"
"Yes."
"Remember, you promised me that we'd meet again!"
"And…" Bel knew what the tealette was going to say next.
"And, we've met each other again, so basically, I think we should hang out." Fran twiddled his fingers. That's weird, Bel thought. Hang out…HANG OUT… WHAT? What the hell? Why was his heart beating so fast by the idea of hanging out with Fran?
"Ummm…sure." Bel said.
"Cool." Fran looked excited.
Bel and Fran were walking down the hall when they met Princess Mammon and Prince Siel.
"Oh look, it's the lovey dovey couple!" Fran teased. This made Mammon blush but she then glared at her brother.
"Fran, you idiot! I'll kill you later!" Mammon hissed.
Bel and Siel gasped. They weren't expecting to hear Mammon say that, but then Siel started to giggle, this made Mammon blush even more.
"What's so funny?" Mammon asked
"Oh I was just thinking of how cute you look when you are blushing and angry!" Siel smirked.
"Umm…umm…" Mammon was now seriously red as a tomato.
"Hey Bel, I think we should leave these two and head out." Fran was a bit bored now. He liked it better when his sister was a bit angry, though he did think she was cute when she blushed as well.
"Yeah. See you later Siel, Lady Mammon." Bel and Fran walked off.
"Those two are a perfect match." Fran suggested "I'm happy for Mammy."
"Yeah! It's the first time I have seen Siel like that. He is usually self-centred, but it seems he really cares for her." Bel told Fran.
"I see…so should we go by horse or carriage?" Fran asked.
"Neither. We'll walk, the town is only 2 miles down the mountain."
"I don't feel like walking that far!" Fran was really lazy.
Though Bel had another idea in mind. "We're going to take a short cut!" Bel grabbed Fran's wrist and pulled him along.
"Hey, where are we going? This isn't the way to the main gate."
"Who said we we're going through the gate? We're going through the woods!" Bel said.
"Through the woods, that's your short cut!?" Fran asked.
They walked through the gloomy woods, Bel still was holding Fran's wrist. They were silent for a while. Fran broke the silence because he was getting bored "Can I have my hand back?"
"Oh yeah, sure. I forgot I was holding your wrist."
Bel walked in front while Fran followed, it seemed Bel was captivated by the woods for some reason, Fran thought.
"Is there something special about this place?" Fran asked.
"Yeah. When we were younger, my brother and I used to sneak out sometimes and come here to play." Bel explained "Now it's just a place I sneak to on my own, when I want to get away from my life as a prince."
"Why'd you have to sneak out here to play when you could have just played at the castle?" Fran was a bit confused.
"We weren't allowed to play, we were told to only study, both on the history of our royal family and the castle, and practice using a sword." Bel sighed. "We had no right to have fun!" To Fran, Bel looked sad. He felt like cheering Bel up. For the rest of the way, Bel and Fran were silent. Fran wanted to break the silence again but he didn't because he kind of felt sorry for Bel, and wanted him to be left alone in his thoughts for a while.
They had arrived at the town centre. Bel was still gloomy, so Fran tried to think really hard on how to cheer him up until he had an idea.
"Hey, want to have a sundae with me?"
"What's a sundae?" Bel asked. This shocked Fran but the expression was not shown on his face.
"A sundae is ice-cream with toppings like chocolate chips, syrup and strawberries, it's really good!" Fran explained to the confused prince.
"Strawberries? I love strawberries!" Bel's eyes glittered, he looked a bit happier and excited. Fran took hold of Bel's hand and showed him the way to a small café. They sat down and ordered two strawberry sundaes.
"This is so good!" Bel really liked the sundae. It seemed he forgot about the woods. This made Fran happy.
When they were done, they just walked around the town. Bel and Fran were enjoying themselves. Though, it was annoying when the towns people always bowed and greeted them when they passed by.
At last, Bel asked to head back to the castle.
"Sorry but I was thinking of visiting my friends before I head back!" Fran said.
"The kids you helped steal food when you had just came to this town?"
"Yeah, those kids. You can head back first. I'll come back as soon as I'm done!" Fran waved good bye while he walked off. Bel left the town and headed to the castle. He didn't go through the woods this time, because he knew if he did, he'll feel depressed again. Though, he did feel a bit guilty for not telling Fran the whole story. He shook his head from side to side and decided to forget about those woods and only think about the enjoyable day he had with Fran, in the town.
