Chapter 189: The Story Of Fire And Ice {10}
Even then and now, My lips pressed in a thin line. I finally understood how Alaric feels. Alaric has always loved me. I could see that now, I didn’t take notice of it and I didn’t acknowledge it, even if I did, I couldn’t give him back the love, because my heart was always with another. He didn’t fret, he didn’t confront me, he remained the jovial and loving brother he was and he... My eyes saddened, he remained a friend to me, despite his feelings and always supported me, it was his words of knowledge that brought Nicklaus and me together.

At The Grand Ball
"You two seem to be chewing on nails" at the voice I turned, seeing Alaric beside me, a charming smile against his lips, in the highlights now he looked dashing, he was well polished and dressed, these two were obviously twins, their amazing features were captivating, it was like staring at a rare jewel, and trust that because you won’t seem to look away.
I was just after Nicklaus and I were in a small quarrel, we were both gaping at each other but none of us made a move, it was when Alaric came to me.
He raised an eyebrow and I quickly realized I was gaping at him for too long. "F-Forgive me for staring"
"Not at all, I’m charming," he said cockily before winking at some ladies who gaped at him, they blushed and giggle when his eyes fell on them, they were continuously fanning themselves as if they would faint just by his looks, I grimaced at their action.
"You surely have your way with the ladies, they seem possessed by your mere presence" I commented.
"Well I’m unmated, this sort of happens, surely you must not think I keep to myself... I enjoy the beauties"
"You’re unmated?", that seemed impossible because this man was like a god of looks just like Nicklaus, I finally found someone who marched up to his handsomeness, and yet he was unmated?
His dim green eyes fell on me and I noticed the purple highlights in them that seemed to drown most of the green, it moved in a most alluring way.
