EVE'S EVENT IS AWESOME ;W; BUT IT'S SO IRRITATING...-gets mostly 0%-
anywhooo lets start!
~Hamel~ 8:30am
Eve shifted around the space around her and realized the change of texture from when she fell into slumber. Her eyes shot open as her droids snapped awake and alert for it's surroundings. Her hands pressed against the soft mattress before slipping her legs from under the covers to the cold marble floor. She quickly slipped into her shoes while her droids floated behind her.
She pulled apart the curtains to let in the warm morning light before looking back at the now lightened room. Chung and Elsword was no where to be found. She then looked at the empty bowl with the lid slanted on the side. Peeking in, Eve smiled at the empty bowl before picking it up and retrieving it to the kitchen. It wasn't a common hing for a princess to be doing such labor, washing dishes and all, but Eve never minds it. Due to the fact that she is always left at home alone, locked up in the kingdom, she has to eat alone most of the time. Occasionally, Ophelia and Oberon would accompany her. But that wasn't much often. Kuro and Shira always had their share into Eve's cooking, but they were the only ones that ever ate it.
Her knowing that the prince ate her cooking allowed her to smile fully once again after the incident had happened. Eve looked at her reflection in the small pool of water in the bowl she cleaned and she gave out a smile.
"Well...I guess my work here is done..." Eve muttered, wiping her hands with a towel. She mentally reminded herself that she still needs to return to Elder's to explain everything to Nemesis before rushing out the kitchen and checking that everything was with her.
Around the back of the palace, Chung was up for his daily morning runs where he practices combats and aim with his cannon. But due to the recent complaints of his loud cannon, Chung was only allowed to practice close combat with monsters that roam not far from the castle grounds.
Chung wiped the sweat off his forehead as he stepped on the last of the shadow monsters laying on the ground. He looked around to check if there was any left before dropping to the ground because of the lack of energy he had from last night and not eating breakfast. When he finally caught his breath, Chung got up from his spot and started making his way back to the castle, where he bumped into...
"Oh, You're awake" Chung confirmed. Eve jumped at his voice, and froze in place. Silence filled between them. Chung then slowly approached her from the left. She clutched onto her fist while still frozen in shock.
"I...I.." Eve started, still avoiding eye contact. "I'm...I'M SORRY" She shut her eyes close, embracing herself for the reply. He tilted his head a little to get a look at her face.
"For what?" He asked curiously. Eve's eyes flashed open to find his face in front of hers. She quickly jumped away and backed herself back into the palace.
"F-for what I said back in-" But she was interrupted by Chung's loud growl in his stomach. Silence came again before Eve gave out in laughter. Chung's face flushed red as he held onto his stomach.
"I'm usually called in for breakfast by my parents" Chung explained, looking away from Eve, who was still giggling a little. "But since they didn't come back yet, I lost track of time so..." He tightened his grip on his stomach." S-so I haven't...ate yet."
Eve saw this as an opportunity. "I-I'm make it" She offered. Her droids looked at each other but didn't stop her.
"Make what?" Chung asked. Eve thought for a minute.
'Maybe the things in Hamel is different from those in Altera..' Eve thought. She glanced back at Chung.
"I know!" She said all of a sudden before skipping back into the castle. Chung hesitated for a bit before following her.
Once Eve reached to the kitchen, She got right to work in cracking the eggs and whisking it in a bowl. She pulled out a pan from one of the cabinets and heated it up, as well as spreading a bit of butter on the surface. Eve then poured the whisked eggs in the pan and evened out the liquid until it was about even.
Chung couldn't help but to admire her cooking skills. He never had the time to ever watch anyone cook, much less cook himself. The last time he tried to enter the kitchen, His mother nearly killed him for breaking half the items in it.
While that was left to cook, Eve pulled out some veggies, ham and cheese from the fridge not far from her. She swiftly cut the items into pieces and slices and through them on top of the uncooked side of the egg. After a minute passed, she flipped the egg on the other side, cooking the other side that included the ingredients. A strong and fresh smell of eggs and ham filled the room. Eve flipped it on the other side once more. She poked the sides to make sure it was done before she used a spatchula and flipped one side over the other. As a finishing touch, she sprinkled a bit of salt on top and served it to Chung on a plate.
He looked down at the omelette that she made for him before his eyes. Chung slowly picked up the fork and took his first bite. A mix of cheese and ham mixed in with the over all veggie and egg. The wonderful taste melted in his mouth as he closed his eyes to remember this flavor.
"I-I know that food here must be very different but...I thought since my aunt made it in Elder and Altera..." Eve trailed off " I thought you would like it" She muttered, looking down at her feet.
"It's fine" Chung assured her. "It taste good" He said, taking another bite. Eve looked up at the prince and a smile formed on her face. Chung caught a glance of the smile. An unusual heat rushed to his head as he looked back down at his food.
'Why does it seem so familiar?' Chung thought ' . get yourself together Chung'
Eve looked at the time up against the wall to her right.
'12:45 am' She thought before the image of her aunt flashed through her mind. Eve erased the picture and sat across from Chung, resting her head on her arms.
"What are you staring at..." Chung asked looking at her direction. Eve was once again staring out the kitchen window that leads out to a porch with decorated flowers hanging around it. Her eyes dazed as a vision of her parents and her were sitting out in the porch laughing and enjoying themselves, but that illusion faded away and the porch remained as it was.
"It must be nice huh" Eve let out a small laugh. "To be able to do things with your own free will..." She softened. "To have the one you love so close to you...m-must be nice..." She muttered. Warm tears built over Eve's eyes before the first stream of tears left her eye. She noticed what she was doing immediately and sat up covering her eyes, wiping off the remains before standing up and threw cold water on her face at the sink.
Chung tightened his grip on his fork. Either it was his fault or not, he felt the guilt stab into his chest. He closed his eyes and stood up. Eve was alerted by the chair's noise and a rim of red covered her eyes. But it was already too late to hide it from him.
"Eve. " Chung paused to collect himself together " Do you want to eat ..together again?" He finished. Eve's eyes shined at his request and more tears came to her once again until the only way to respond was a nod. The moment held for a few minutes before the kitchen door slamming open. Chung's pink haired mother marched into the room and placed her hand on her hips.
"Chung..." She said with a darkened look. "I'm back~" Apple sang, lowering her head so her bangs covered her red eyes. A wide grin stretched across her face as Chung had his hands up for defense. Apple approached him and picked him up as if he was nothing but then realized another presence in the room. She quickly dropped the poor prince and rushed over to Eve, still rubbing away the tears.
"Oh poor baby" She cooed, giving Eve a hug and stroking the back of her head. " If my son ever cause you trouble, please tell me. I will make sure he is reasonably punished~" Apple sang.
"How are you back? What happened at Altera?" Chung asked, getting back on his feet. His mother sent an evil glare at him before responding with,
"I couldn't possibly leave you with Eve for too long. After all, you DID just meet her about a few weeks ago..." His mother said. An uneasy feeling reached to Chung and gave him a shutter down his spine.
'Why does it seem wrong that we met a few weeks ago?...' He thought to himself before another person came into the kitchen. Amber eyes peered into the room as she entered.
"A-aunt Nemesis" Eve shuddered at the sight of her. Nemesis gave her niece a smile before walking towards her and taking a hold of her wrist.
"We're going back to Elder's" She said, dragging Eve out of the room. The little princess didn't object, but her heart does. She turned around to get one last look at Chung before it was impossible to see him anymore. Eve's droids quickly raced out the room, leaving only Chung and his mother.
"That was..." Chung started. The memories flashed of the same women coming into Hamel everyday for a week after his release from the hospital after that day.
'I guess that was why I thought Eve was familiar...cause of her' Chung thought. Apple looked at her son in concern.
"That was the queen of destruction herself. The goddess of Justice. Xeon, Nemesis." His mother said, her eyes dimmed in color. "Empress's Older sister. And Eve's aunt."
"Q-queen of destruction?" Chung shuttered at the thought. Apple smirked at him
"Don't even think of getting her on her bad side. She will rip you from the inside out" His mother said with a chuckle. "And besides...you should remember when she came to the castle, no?"
"Yea I remember but...why? to get me to drink something?"Apple faced him once again, but this time, she didn't look as happy. She clutched onto her fist but nothing came out from her mouth.
The debate of whether or not to tell him the truth whelmed up in her head. Taking one last look at her son, she shook her head and left the room. Chung sensed that something was wrong.
"Why am I always the last person to know these things!" He shouted to himself in anger. Chung ran to the porch outside the castle and saw Nemesis walking out of the castle grounds with Eve. A jolt in his head told him to follow her but what good would that do? He doesn't even know what he is doing. And to follow the queen of destruction is asking for death to be served to him.
Chung slammed his fist on the stoned porch rails and cursed to himself. As of the evening of his parents settling back into the palace, he went for a walk in the market place to try and get his act straight. Chung trailed past the Alchemy shop but had a second thought before walking in. Danke was at his usual spot behind the counter looking at a list in front of him. He noticed the prince right away and placed down the long piece of paper.
"Good evening your highness. What brings you here today?" Danke greeted. Chung looked around the store before responding.
"Where's Echo" He asked. Danke looked at him with confusion.
"Haven't Echo told you where she was going?" But Chung shook his head. The owner took a minute to think. "You understand that Echo is a traveling Alchemy student that goes around learning from other Alchemy from other regions before she can return to her home region and becoming a true alchemy...right?"
The prince in fact didn't know this, but he nodded anyways. Danke continued.
"So, As for her 8 year training here, she still has a few more years she has to complete in other regions. This time, she's assigned to Bethma." Chung stood there speechless. So much has been taken away from him...yet which one does he chase?
The prince thanked Danke before leaving for the night and heading home where his mother called for dinner.
"It's great to have the family together to eat again, don't you think?" Apple asked, looking at Chung. But he didn't respond, but he looked down at his plate of food.
"I thought you would Like it" the voice of Eve rang in his head.
"must be nice..to be able to do things with your own free will" 'No...no it's not...' He thought to himself.
"To have the one you love so close to you..." 'I'm not close at all...'
" Do you want to eat ..together again?" His own voice reminded him of his promise. Chung slammed his hands on the table and stood from his seat. His parents both looked at him in shock.
"I'm sorry, but I have somewhere I need to go" Chung said before running out the dinning room. Apple smiled as the door shut behind him.
"Stubborn and naive. Brings back the memories" She muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry Eve, I didn't furfill my promise yet...so wait for me" Chung muttered
~Elder's Village~ 6:30 pm
Eve sat in front of the grass field in front of the house while Nemesis went in to prepare dinner. Everything seemed normal for the second, but something still bothered her. Kuro and Shina both hovered in front of her and looked up at their friend's face turning red again. Eve buried her face into her knees, confusion took a hold of her.
'Do you want to eat together again' His voice asked. Eve sniffled and felt the water coming again.
"Yes..." She said in a whisper. Eve held onto the pain in her chest. "Yes" She repeated as tears streamed down her face. "I...I want to eat together again..." Eve continued to sniffle, hugging her knees and watching the horizon.
"Then come with me" A voice said from behind her. Eve's eyes sprung open and turned towards the familiar sound. It was a boy, creamy blonde hair tied back into a ponytail. He wore a vest over his t-shirt with blue and white belt designs with jeans. His cerulean eyes met her Amber ones.
"Chung..." She said weakly. The tears were more visible now as he walked towards her. He picked her back up on her feet and crossed his arms.
"You're such a cry baby. How much water can you hold in that small body of yours" He joked. Eve's face flushed red and playfully hit him on the arm.
"B-but how did you-" Chung placed a finger on his lips and grinned.
"I'll explain to you everything once we get something to eat.
