Like a furious hurricane Elda stormed out bad vibes in her wake. Her blood red air almost looked like a roaring flame. She was shouting in a foreign tongue, some children who had come to watch the show turned red at hearing her. A few scampered off to try to calm the hysteric girl down. Nana tried to see Husky only to be shoved aside by Teresa. When Nana stood up she found Teresa gushing over HER friend.
"Majesty have fight with Elda?"
"Nothing to worry about." He rubbed his cheek sullenly, which they noticed was bruised. Nana again tried to approach him but aggressive Teresa cut her off.
"Majesty hurt? Let Teresa kiss and make better." She kissed his cheek and Husky visibly winced and shoved her off.
"That hurts." Nana had to admit she felt good right there but decided not gloat on it. She took a different approach; she got close to him and looked concerned, just to spite Teresa.
"Husky, what happened, did you have an argument with Elda?" Much to her own satisfaction he blushed slightly, Teresa was furious.
"Nothing to worry about, she just wants me to come home. When I said no, she punched me. You know for a pampered princess she has one killer right hook." He rubbed his cheek scornfully.
"Come on let's get something cold on that." She didn't over do it like Teresa had she took a calm approach without a fuss, Husky didn't like to make a fuss, such nonsense was too noisy.
"So she wanted you come home, I guess that means you have a home to return to, unlike the rest of us." She said as she pressed a damp cloth against his face.
"Well yeah, everyone probably thinks I'm dead by now." He scruffed his silver hair.
"Doesn't she think you left for a reason?"
"Oh I told her that I became a plus anima but she refuses to accept that as an answer."
"She misses you huh?"
"Not that as much as I'm, 'needed at home' but my sister and Mom miss me horribly. She told me in an effort to console my mother my sister began acting like me half the time and tucking her hair to make it look short."
"Did it work?"
"Hell no. My mother and father were the only ones who could tell us apart. But acting like me was my sister's effort to console herself more than my mom. Neither she or my mother think I'm dead." Nana put a bandage on his face.
"I'm surprised you didn't hit her back."
"Are you dense? I don't hit girls." Now that he mentioned it he had never once hit a girl despite his claims of hating them.
"There, done." She smiled brightly. Husky had to admit his face felt better.
"T-t-thanks." He stuttered. What was this feeling? He felt warm inside, he didn't feel like this with anyone but her.
"Nana, uh…." He took hold of her skirt and tried to pull her closer. He tilted his face to look at her. She was so pretty to him, not pretty like Teresa or Elda though, a different kind of pretty. Why was it when he looked at her all he wanted to do was touch her, to kiss her, to claim her as his own. Why did he want that, was it the fact that he part animal that he felt animalistic feelings for this girl, feelings of possession, and lust. He was a human, a civilized one at that. He brought his face close, closer and closer, he felt her breath. Her face was flushed, he smirked, she looked cute like that.
"Feeling better Majesty?" A Bemused tone came from behind him. Joseno stood with a grin on his face.
"Lady Duchess needs to speak with you on a matter of six girls of Sailand being held hostage here." He stood up hastily.
"Hey Joseno you can call Duchess by her real name when it's just us."
"Her ladyship is my superior as are you; as such I treat you both with respect." He spoke in a quiet tone.
"Whatever, I just got out of a fight with Duchess and I really don't wanna fight with you." He scratched his head annoyed. He walked away scruffing his beautiful silver hair. Joseno eyed Nana with interest.
"You girl, what was your name again?" Nana looked at him.
"Nana."
"What is Majesty to you?"
"Eh?!"
"Are you involved with him?"
"No! Where did you get that idea?"
"I've never seen him treat a female or male for that matter, he treats quite like you. I would have thought that he would end up the Teresa girl for plus anima mating, but it seems I was mistaken. As it seems he likes bats." Nana's mouth hung open.
"H-h-hell no! Explain this to me, if he doesn't like Teresa why does he let her hang off his arm like a decoration." Joseno contemplated this for awhile.
"Because he sees himself in her."
"Huh?"
"When Majesty came back into the surface world he was alone, and couldn't remember anything but living in the ocean. He was pulled into a circus and dressed like a girl because someone thought he was a girl. Another worker tried to molest him and that's how they found out he was a boy. The last thing he wanted was for another to end up like that. He wants to protect Teresa from what happened to him." Nana had never thought of it that way.
"The way he treats you is different. Elda noticed this and she's jealous of you, not Teresa."
"Why would she be jealous of me?" She scrunched her face in confusion. Joseno smirked.
"Because Elda was supposed to be Majesty's bride." All Nana could do was hang her mouth open in shock.
In Duchess' quarters Husky sat quietly in the chair. Duchess had just finished telling him about news she received. Husky now sat utterly motionless. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Duchess stood up and stroked her adopted son's hair in a comforting manor.
"So, Duchess, what do we do?"
"What do think?"
"What's right, I can't leave her to be hurt."
"The Outlanders are behind you 100, they live for stuff like this." She smiled like and angel.

Princess: Okay, from this chapter on there will be spoilers for volumes up to eight. If you haven't read any from 1-8 and you don't want spoilers stop reading. Yeah I wanted to get back at Teresa and also portray Husky as a typical hormonal teenage boy. (ha-ha) But he's beginning to realize he's crazy about Nana. This chapter was shorter and I apologize, trust me I know it's frustrating when awaited chapter is short, but I didn't want to give away too much yet. Thanks for the continuing support.
