Chapter 371 - 370. First Date (2)
I flew toward Rune’s chambers, the wind rushing past me as I maneuvered through the night sky. As I neared his balcony, I could hear his voice carrying through the cool air.
"Bouquet? Necklace? What about a bracelet? No? Then earrings?" His words were hurried, as if he were rattling off a list in distress. My brow arched in curiosity as I hovered just outside the window. What exactly was he up to?
Peering in, I saw Rune pacing across the room, his expression a mixture of frustration and anxiety. Sitting comfortably in an armchair nearby was Eric, his arms crossed and one leg draped over the other, watching my brother with an air of amusement.
"Don’t be so nervous, Rune. I’m sure she’ll appreciate whatever you give her, as long as it comes from the heart," Eric reassured him, his tone lighthearted.
Was Rune preparing a gift for Celestia?
I smirked. What impeccable timing!
"Yes, but I can’t just give her something random! I don’t even know what she likes," Rune groaned, running a hand through his disheveled hair, clearly mortified by his own lack of knowledge.
His worry was almost endearing.
I activated my telekinesis, silently pushing open the window, and stepped inside, simultaneously dispelling my invisibility spell.
The reaction was instant.
Both Princes spun around, bodies tensed and fists raised in preparation to strike.
