Chapter 548
"Your aura looks controlled yet unsettled, prince. What happened?" — Orland, who had decided not to leave it all to a young Clemente said as he approached Zeleskiaz. Wanting to be cold although he knew wiser not to, given the knowledge a friend had announced about a son’s temperament.
"... Nothing." — He said, distracted as he looked where the only able to lull the disgust away sat. Lowering his gaze as her figure cleaned slightly the sourness of the encounter... while the action instead impulsed the coldness of the duke to come back bluntly after noticing how the waver of his eyes came along with a tamer aura.
"It does not look and did not feel like nothing. For a moment I thought a fight would break, brat."
"... It did not."
"You are known for these sudden fits. What else would you believe would happen if you were me?... Tsk! And look at me when I’m talking to you. Have some shame when looking at my daughter in my presence!"
"Your grace, my sole cure for those "fits" you mention is the pureness of your daughter. I have not experienced many as before after meeting her, did you know this?"
"Shameless brat... Don’t say anymore. All that matters is you did not ruin my child’s celebration with your savagery."
"... Yes... That is all that matters..." — Still paying no interest to Orland’s warning Zeleskiaz kept looking where his love breathed feeling nicely how the mere sight made his soul return from the hells. Finally finding each other’s gaze so again, some of the entrancement of her message could be revived in the lift of his corners. — ’You are... who matters, my beloved Marianne...’
An attentive man Orland was, and no detail between the young ones courting each other was missed by his eye. Producing frustration to hit a limit, forgetting the ignorance behind a madman’s bloodlust and deciding to pull the prince away as he could not take his awestruck essence being openly demonstrated.
"AGH, alright already. Stop looking at my child like a fool! Come here! You’ll start drooling, bloody hell! Have some dignity!"
