I nodded with little interest:"Yeah, so what?"
"Well, you know we used to think Mercury is the smartest girl in the inner solar system. And no man would be able to match her intelligence, and she isn't interested in such things as well. But as the senshi of love, I found that your talent student Zoisite would must be well matched her. I bet they would make the smartest and gentlest couple…Where are you going, Kunzite-kun?"
"To my office." I stood up with these words, "Till next morning." Before teleported to my office, I couldn't help added:"Zoisite is still very young, and the major matter he has to deal with now is his training instead of those girls."
Didn't wait for her reply, I disappeared from the room immediately and reappeared in my office.
Lying on the bed in the inner room of my office, words that Sailor Venus said just now lingered in my mind. It repeated again and again, and I felt it became harder and harder to keep calm while thinking about that Zoisite would be with someone else.
Well, I had thought about that before, however, it was different to consider it as only a possibility compared with that something was truly happening. Considered the possibility of Zoisite being with another person made me feel bitter, but hearing about such information could drove me to the edge.
Especially when the information was from Sailor Venus. I knew the role she was playing in her kingdom, she was the leader of the Inner Sailor Scouts, the loyal guardian of the Princess Serenity of the Kingdom of Silver Millennium, and the loyal Sailor Senshi of their Queen Serenity. As a result, what she talked about mostly would be actually the Queen's opinion.
I made a fist and heavily hit the sofa, damn, I could imagine seeing Zoisite with someone else as a…a couple! He said he loved me, but how could I tell that it wasn't because I was the only person that he meet the most?
My thought couldn't help slipping much further. I had met Sailor Mercury before. The senshi of water and wisedom was gentle and quiet, and she was fond of reading. That blue-haired introvert might have little interest in the night-time entertaining, unlike her fellow senshi Venus. But if what Venus had talked about was truly the opinion of the lunar queen...
It meant they would get marry some day, and that would happen naturally.
Damn it, I hate that, I hate the idea of Zoisite sleeping with any other people.
I began to hate to have sex with Sailor Venus or anyone else, if there were any, since I first time found myself fell in love with Zoisite. It was the first time I tasted the bitter-sweet flavor of love. And hearing what Venus said about Zoisite, I had tasted another flavor called jealousy.
It would, should and must be me who had the privilege of sleeping with my talent student as well as my litter skeptic, of caressing that pale smooth skin, of gazing at those bright emerald eyes, of stroking the curled silky copper hair, of kissing those soft rosy lips…
I felt a cool drop of liquid went slowly across my cheek. The strange feeling made me a little back to the reality. What was it? I swept the liquid with my finger and found it a drop of tear.
A drop of tear? Was I crying? I frowned and shook my head, I hadn't cry—even not a single tear drop—for almost twenty years. I learnt to be icy cold since I was less than seven years old, and it was the year I started to learn sword-based fighting as a noble.
I used to think that tears was the sign of frailty, and I hated to feel like I was weak. However…
I sighed a deep sigh, I couldn't control myself anymore, I would never be that perfectly strong as I was before I met Zoisite, and that little beauty would be my only weak point. I knew that.
Zoisite is MINE. Neither Sailor Mercury nor anyone else could apart him from me. Again I recalled my responsibility as a royal guardian, but I could talk to our prince, couldn't I? Since he himself was deeply in love with his lunar princess, he could understand my feeling—and Zoisite's, he must can. I could talk to him and finally be relieved of my betrothal.
Such thought made me relax a little, and I recalled Zoisite's words. He loves me, I remembered, and my lips couldn't help but curled up while I recalled that. And I love him. I didn't adapted to say this word, and I dared not to divulge my secret emotion even if a little bit until had heard that word from my student.
My student…I smiled again to myself when the imagination of his delicate face, his lovely hair and his soft lips came to my mind. And those imagination made me…
Damn it! I felt something happening to me, but fortunately nobody else was in my office, and I knew that I needed a bath in cold water to solve my problem.
I was expecting the next morning.
I expected the coming of it, until I saw my student in the training field.
I was almost to tell him my affection for him, yet, his expression drew me back. It seemed that he didn't sleep very well last night, and he refused to look at me, instead, he nailed his sight on an uncertain point on the ground.
"Good morning, my Lord." His voice was too calm to contain even if the slightest trace of emotion. I was taken aback for a minute, but I was able to hide my shocked by the U-turn he made to his attitude:"Good morning, Zoisite, let's begin our practice for today."
He simply nodded with a tranquil answer:"Hai, my Lord."
I tried to stare at his eyes, but he didn't even gave me the chance. He wasn't looking at me, and didn't look at me at all. It seemed that he had totally forgot what he said and expressed in the day before.
My heart sank, perhaps he was just taken by urge and mistook some other feelings by love. Perhaps he thought it over in the evening and was now regretting his words and trying to act as if nothing had happened.
Then I would just continued hiding my secret love inside, I didn't want to harm this young man. Hence, I made my voice calm as usual:"Then start it."
