Aren't you Curious

Chapter 6

I've been frowning here on the side for a while, besides you can hear a noise. It's still very dark and! This prince just insulted me!

Doesn't he have good manners?! Didn't that teach him? I just summoned a weapon and sent it flying.

It was so boring, while I was playing with the weapon I thought of something. What if I put some light materials in my weapon?

Would they start to glow? I scratched my head and sighed. I haven't tried it yet but I'm willing to learn something new and interesting.

too bad Nyphe isn't here, I could have created something by now. Hmmm, if I use the light on the wall?

But when I punched the roof, they lost their light. Maybe there is a source connected? If I get the source then I can start making materials that glow.

I nodded later, I looked at Lyford who is still silent right now. Does he really have no plans to speak?

"Hey! Can we just get along and talk?” I'm starting again, even though I'm still a little angry at what he said earlier.

silence.

“You know, we're trapped here in this big hole. Just the two of us and I can't stand silence, can we just talk?"

"another silence.

"Well at least answer this question, why do you seem so obedient to the rules? I'm not saying it's bad but I wonder why-“

"I want to be King." I stopped talking. King? "Are... you not mad about what I said... earlier?"

I raised my eyebrows, why is he talking like that? "You know I can move on quickly so I forgot about that."

I just answered him. I sighed. "That's your reason. What's good about being a King? What if they only give you pressure? "he didn't answer again, hey.

Well I haven't read their rules at school, we also have rules for angels but he's not that interesting.

King huh...? I bet he could be one, I mean he's the perfect fit to be king. "I want my father to acknowledge me."

I immediately looked at him. I really thought he didn't want to talk about this but he answered.

"Did I go that far? Sorry, I can't stop my mouth. I'm just curious.” I don't want to pry into their family affairs.

"You said you're curious, when I told my reason. Would you stop pestering me?” he asked, my eyebrows immediately raised.

Wait isn't this a bargain? When he answered my questions earlier, it was over and I couldn't ask him again.

"Of course not." I answered and tapped my fingers in my forehead. "It's a shame about my other questions."

"You're annoying." I smirked at his comment and shrugged.

"Hah I get that a lot." I said laughing. "You know even Nyphe is angry with me, but she still loves me."

He didn't answer again so I sighed and continued talking. "So you agreed that I will pester you in the future?"

"Go ahead if you don't answer-

"No, shut up." I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're such an interesting prince indeed. I could feel that you really don't want me, that won't stop me though." My mouth curved into a smile more.

"he didn't answer again, did he think I would stop him because he is a quiet person? I'm talkative so sorry not sorry.

"You know I also want to know what else you use to work out, you obviously have a pack of abs." I babble.

"While I was clinging to you earlier, apart from your abs being hard. You also have good muscles and large che-“

"Shut up you shameless, perverted and thick faced angel." I held my mouth, seriously did he just call me such words? my questions are genuine and normal. Haven't you been asked that before? I even asked someone like that before.”

Just kidding, Prince Lyford was the first person I asked that question. "I asked the other angels about that too! So, it's normal!”

I said jokingly, even though I couldn't see his reaction. I can still hear his breathing pace, super strength and I'm sure he's embarrassed.

Gosh, if there is a light here now, he must have been blushing a while ago! I'm really good at things like this, even Nyphe is getting mad at me.

"Aren't you elegant and calm? Can you be like that again?” I can hear the annoyance in his words.

"So you prefer the fake me? Tsk tsk tsk, prince Lyf. I thought you don't like fake people, I'm being genuine here." I shook my head.

"But okay, if you prefer that I can always switch back-

“Never mind. Stop calling me Lyf, we're not close." I bit my lip and immediately approached him. As in I stuck so he could feel the closure.

"There! We're close, see? We're even close together, so close-"

I was surprised when he suddenly grabbed my shoulders and we both fell down. He was upstairs again and I was lying down. I-is he-

"Prince Lyf! I didn't know you were that wild! Rawr-“ I didn't finish what I was going to say when he put his hands in my mouth.

"Shut up, someone's attacking us. We turned to the other wall at the same time, only now did I realize that there was someone else here with us.

I kinda let my guard down but it's a good thing Prince Lyford is with me here. We could see that person because they were slightly glowing.

Not to mention he was stuck to the wall, I couldn't see his face very well. I think it's masked big, they masked a skull.

What kind of person is this? They were like some monkeys gripping on the wall, I was surprised when they pulled out a bow and arrows.

"It's gonna kill us." I immediately looked at Prince Lyf when he said that. Kill?

"How can you tell?" actually no, Prince Lyf has a point, seeing that person has a bow and arrow pointed at us.

I think it's really gonna kill us, I think I lost a little common sense here. Hey, I told you guys. Talking to prince Lyf can drain common sense.

My eyes widened when the person hanging started shooting arrows, I immediately summoned a shield.

“A wooden shield? Really? The arrows consist of magic, it's not gonna help." I frowned at his comment

"At least it's helping a little? Everything has a use ok? Also, am I aware that arrows will attack us, I don't use shields? Duh? I only make weapons.”

It's true, I don't create shields because I prefer to make weapons. Seeing the situation now, maybe I will make a shield.

"You need to use your blessing well, try exploring new or create new weapons that have not been discovered yet?" I stopped at his suggestions.

He's right I didn't give my blessing much importance of its use. I didn't study it more thoroughly, nor did I discover and expand my blessing's potential.

I sighed and took out a sword, "I will try and stop the arrows, I'm fast-"

"No need, I found a way out." My eyes widened, huh? Is there a way out of this? Why am I not informed?

I was surprised when he punched someone and there was a tunnel out of here. "How did you know there was a show here?" he didn't answer so I teased him instead.

"Don't tell me you really didn't tell me that there was a way out so you could be with me. You should have told me, I'll always accom

'Master, this tunnel is safe.' I didn't finish what I was going to say because suddenly a child's voice spoke. It was a little girl's voice?

I almost jumped in shock when the girl appeared in front of both of us, I think she's 6 years old?

Dark purple short hair, red eyes and a skull pin on his head. There is also some kind of candle surrounding him.

She's wearing a small dress, she looks like a doll... wait, who is it? Did we have a child with us earlier wait…” Ghost!?”

The child looked at me, she also has a dull expression. "You must be Master Dethyria, greetings."

"This is Grimm, my spirit partner." I frowned at what he said, what did he say? Spirit partner? So it's a ghost with us? 'no need to be alarmed lady Dethyria. I am just a mere guide for my master to control his blessing.'

I tilted my head, blessing? By the way, I don't know his blessing yet. I always wondered what his blessing is-

So what? I don't think his blessing is to have contracts with spirit? I immediately turned back when I sensed that I was coming.

The Grimm child used the candles around her to stop the arrows. Can a child stop those arrows?!

"Let's go."

I immediately followed him, fortunately there was light again in the tunnel so we were able to leave it easily.

Pretty sure that attacker won't be following us, apart from the fact that Grimm is there to stop him. He is also just clinging to the roof.

As I followed him, I couldn't help but shake his back. Still wondering what his blessing is.

Grimm said that he is only a contract spirit, that he is only helping Prince Lyf with his blessing. Spirit contract

I've heard of this, but it mostly only happens to talented people. I thought only contractors could see their spirits?

So why can I see his contract spirit? Weird? "Wait, that Grimm child, how old is she? How many years have you been contracted?"

I asked, he didn't answer as always. 'Hello Lady Dethyria, I'm already a hundred years old.'

I almost screamed in shock because the boy reappeared next to me. I thought I was going to be attacked.

“Really? So you're older than me?" I asked him again and he nodded. I smiled and patted her head.

She is cute despite her appearance that looks like a horror doll. "Your contract spirit, Prince Lyf, is still good at answering my questions."

He just continued walking and didn't answer. "So Grimm, what kind of guide are you? Didn't you say you were a guide?"

'I guide my master to control spirits and corpse-

"Grimm." Grimm and I both stopped and Grimm bowed when his name was called.

'I apologize master, I will get going.' And when Grimm completely disappeared, I was disgusted by what Lyf did.

"Why did you scold the boy- eek!" that I was cornered against the wall because he suddenly slammed the wall with both of his arms, since the tunnel is small, I couldn't escape. (As long as kabedon pose)

His face came close to mine and-

"What are you two doing?"

"What are you two doing?" We turned to the person who spoke at the same time and it was Nyphe. I was about to answer when Prince Lyf suddenly spoke.

"None of your business." It moved away from me and left first. Nyphe and I watched the prince walk out of the tunnel.

Nyphe looked at me and saw the bleeding in my wings! The teachers and royal guards were looking for you a while ago, why are you injured?!”

He asked in confusion as he took out the first aid kit with his blessing. I flipped my hair and smirked at him.

"Didn't you see what he did earlier? I'm sure you saw it, the wall slam- ARAY!” I immediately retracted my wings because of the pain. "why did you Squeeze my wound

"Just making sure you're not crazy yet, can you stop talking about that wall slam thing? I'm not interested why he did that to you." Nymph

"And don't explain why the prince did that, I'm sure he did that out of anger. Even you who like to get angry, I bet he's mad." I was disgusted by what he said.

Why is he not interested in that? That experience was so good.

I want to experience that again, "It's already night time and I've been looking for you... and what the hell did you do to your dress?" he added.

I rolled my eyes and didn't answer about the dress, he just gave me a blanket to cover my body.

"I fell on a trap, can't fly, something's preventing me and accidentally dragged the prince- wait, why don't you go hunting together?" I explained quickly, as long as Nyphe gets it.

That should be what I was thinking earlier, but my mind was occupied on teasing the prince so I forgot. I didn't ask the prince about it.

"We separated because he suddenly ran somewhere without informing me, so I started killing corrupted species by myself..." he replied.

"Why would he run away from you?" I asked again, maybe he was scared of Nyphe's face? Of course I didn't tell Nyphe that, maybe she'll leave me forever.

he raised an eyebrow at me.

"I'm aware? I'm not holding his brain to know what he's thinking? And he's not running away from me you dumbass$...” she answered and flicked my forehead.

"I think he has a sense of what it is and went there. Even though he didn't inform me, I saw his reaction." She added with a sigh.

I scratched my head, where to run? There with the big hole? Wait, I was also wondering why he didn't dodge my rope?

He can put the rope I threw in the hole - whatever it is, it's boring to think, especially when you can't understand the person you're thinking about.

"Wait, is Princess Lamia okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Yes, she is ok, she informed the teachers that you discovered a body. But when they went there, the body he said was gone." -Nyphe.

I sighed, I shouldn't have left that place. "By the way Nyphe, please inform brother about the big hole here."

Before he could ask, I pulled him to where Prince Lyf and I came from, I'm pretty sure the person who shot us earlier is gone.

"Wait- you guys were stuck here? In this dark… hole? And what is that noise?” We are now at the edge and Nyphe took out a lantern.

Together we looked through the hole and saw the corrupted species more clearly. "Holy sh-"

"Yeah, that's what I thought. Their man is fatter too. I almost fell there, luckily I pulled Prince Lyford." I will explain.

"Seeing this situation, I'm sure the prince already informed the headmasters." I just nodded.

"Oh by the way. The reason why I can't fly is because something is preventing me, not only me but also the prince. Should we-

"Nope, we're treating your injuries first." My eyes widened at what he said.

"But what if-" I complained but he pulled me away. Namaan eeehhh! I'm still ok! I'm not paralyzed or anything!

We left the underground together and saw a bunch of angels and demon adults around. "They've called in the experts."

I wondered, "Did many people disappear? Why does it seem like it's over?"

"No, just you two. The hunt is already done and your brother summoned them. He's worried and..." Nyphe's answer made me stop and swallow.

"He's mad, isn't he?" I cut off Nyphe.

"Lady Dethyria Javier." My body went cold when I heard his voice. Besides, I slowly turned towards him.

“H-headmaster.” I stammered, he was standing with the other professors in the school. He whispered something to her and they left.

Nyphe also left and bowed to her brother. "Care to explain why you disappeared? Aa top hunter like you went missing just like that?”

I scratched my head. "Eh, no-"

"Follow me." So yes, I followed my brother. The experts in the hunt left, maybe because they found us.

There are also a few students here but mostly 4th years, maybe the other lower years have been sent home because it's late. there were some tents set up too.

"Thyria, why aren't you careful?" we stopped in a large tent with a little distance from many people and other small tents.

"Stop being curious for once will you? You almost disappeared because of your curiosity about things."

I was disgusted by my brother's sermons. "You chased a person? You have a choice not to chase that mysterious person. Why did you chase that person? “Out of curiosity?” I've been quiet for a while because when I answer, something might hit my head. "Thyria, you're the only one who-

"Sorry brother." He just sighed while messing with my hair.

"Be careful in the future, I don't want to lose you. Mom and dad entrusted you to me ok? If you disappear, what will I do?"
