Chapter 10 (Asano Royalty)
"F-Father…" Just seeing my father in tears after these dreadful days of not knowing of my status was just enough to also make me tear up, too. But the fact that I could just not let him get any closer for an embrace was just heartbreaking for the man to endure. "Shh… N-No… Not any of this is… your fault…" I gulped as I tried to look him in the eyes. As of lately, I just could not look anyone in the eyes at all. It just scared me. The man looked down at me in such a sad manner, somebody had hurt his son and it hurt him so much during these days to not know what I had been through. It was hard to imagine, honestly.
"My Lord, something needs to be done, the Prince desperately needs our help." One of the guards said, "what could it–?! What the hell?"
The guard before he could finish his sentence gasped for a moment as he saw 2 male figures. One young man, and a middle aged man. …This also caught my attention.
"No…" I started to mumble under my breath before tearing up even more. My body froze for a moment before collapsing to the ground onto my knees. Karma growled at seeing who the hell it was. The redhead did not hesitate on coming over to stand in front of me to block my view as he glared daggers at the two.
"Ah, Akabane, long time no see… I see now you have become so attached to this pet of yours, huh?" The young man said coldly before glancing down at me, which made me quickly look away. These two were known as the Asano Royalty, they were rivals of the Shiota Royalty and planned to take over the kingdom since the two just now don't see me fit to be King now, because of my slave status.
"Shut up, stay away right now, Asano. If you have nothing to say, scram!" Karma snapped, royalty or not, he had no right to treat me this way. The Asanos' presences were frightening me and Karma was not willing to let any of them get any closer to me.
"My… how rude, Akabane… Is that the way you receive us after a long time of not seeing each other..? Hahaha, you have not changed at all, ever since you were a child, you challenged every order given to you." The young man's father, Asano Gakuho, said.
"This has nothing to do with you, idiots. Why don't you…?!" Karma was interrupted by a sudden push, which made him growl and glare at Gakushuu.
"You're in the way…"
"Hey!" My guards warned before standing with their weapons in view as a warning for the boy to back away from me. However, Gakushuu was not fazed by any of them, so he just tipped my chin up to make me look up at him. "Such a waste of beauty… It's a pity you had to land in the lowest of the low… The Queen… she was right, huh? Aren't you nothing but a weakling…?"
"Leave him alone, dammit!" Karma growled as Gakushuu ignored his yells telling him to back away from me. He had an impulse to beat the hell out of this fucking brat right in front of the guards and his father. He didn't give a shit, but the glare of Gakushuu down at me was intense.
"Don't move, Akabane." Gakushuu warned before glaring down at me. "Right now… you're safe, but… keep your eyes open for when we return… Shiota…" It was then he moved his hand off my chin and just smiled calmly. "Heh… farewell for now…" It was then the father and son duo left the scene at last.
Karma and Rio growled, "Dammit, what the hell is that brat's deal?" The blonde girl growled in pure annoyance. "M-Master? He's hyperventilating." Kaede warned as he noticed me just frozen and breathing unnaturally heavy.
"Dammit… Oi, King." Karma called, Kaito turned his gaze to the young redhead. "This encounter is too much for the Prince right now, me and my servants have him in our care. I know I'm not in the right place to request this… but… Permission to retreat and shelter him in our household…?"
Kaito had a feeling this would happen, just moving me to the castle without him and the palace knowing what I had been through would not have been right. "I… Yes… Please, for now… I allow you to take care of my son… he's not in the best place right now and just moving him back to the palace suddenly would cause a reaction. …Thank you so much, young man… I really appreciate it…"
Karma just smiled and carried me in his arms while I still hyperventilated and hid my face into his shoulder. He nodded and just left the festival area in their carriage with me on their way to the Akabane mansion.
"Shhh, shhh…" Kaede tried calming me down during the way home but the breathing was still too loud. "Oh my God… He's not calming down yet," the green-haired girl was getting more worried each second. She just had the feeling that this sudden rush of adrenaline would make me sick.
"That goddamn brat…" Rio growled while Isogai sighed. "I don't know what the hell is wrong with them but these two are up to no good. I just can tell." The brown-haired boy just glanced up at me and Karma.
"Yes, I know. Like you, I'm getting a seriously bad feeling here." The redhead responded to Isogai while still holding me in his arms. "I suggest that we all keep an eye on Nagisa, we cannot leave him alone at all… wherever he goes, he must be accompanied, no matter what."
Ugh, what are these bastards up to? …Nothing good… because from the way Nagisa is hyperventilating… this might be worse than facing the Queen upfront. Damn, this is extreme… but I still think he cannot be left alone anywhere at all.
Gotta protect him… The mercury-colored eyes narrowed while Karma thought in his head.
~~Chapter 10 End.~~
**Uh oh, what could this mean for poor Nagisa and the gang? …Nothing good. Probably that could scare him more than he is. Find out in the next chapter.~**
