Chapter 47
A GOOD FRIEND
FIRA’S POV
“You stay here and take my order.”
I moved to my side when the tremble ran all over my body as I saw his eyes. As if anytime, he would burn in fire again.
I really do not want to see him that way again. It is a different Pyro that can kill someone. I want him to always calm and relax like the Pyro in the past few hours who was holding a bird, laughing and smiling.
“Okay.” I looked down with the expression of surrendering.
“Clean yourself before leaving my room.” He looked at the door. “Seryo, make sure Fira goes out with her clean body.”
“Yes, your majesty.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I’m going out.” He rotated the doorknob, but before he went out I held his hand. My mouth opened, but in the end, it shut. I had no idea what I should say. I caught myself silent.
He nodded as he walked out the door. I was left alone in his room. Suddenly, I saw something in the end corner. There was something hidden, covered with red cloth.
What is this? Am I allowed to open it? Crap. I will not do anything. I will just peep on it.
I slowly looked closer, gasping for air before I opened the covering. My eyes widened as I saw a piano.
Crap! It’s a piano. Does Pyro know how to use this?
I immediately covered it again when I heard footsteps. I ran towards the bathroom and locked the door. I was scared that Pyro would come back again.
“Pyro.” I heard a knock on the door. I felt that it was Zephyrus. “Pyro, yohoo!”
“King Fire is not here, your majesty.” I heard Seryo’s voice.
“Where did he go?”
“He didn’t tell me, your majesty. Pardon.”
“Okay. Tell him I visited him.”
“Copy that, King Wind.”
I blew harsh air as the footsteps went away. I followed King Fire’s order, I bathed, cleaned my body and I was enjoying playing with the bathtub because in Omega’s Quarter there was nothing like this. When I was done, I looked for Seryo. I turned around in front of him like a princess.
“I’m clean so I can go!” I gave her a huge smile. He nodded at me. Seryo’s attitude had similarities with his master, always cold. He did not even bother to smile at me.
I went back to my work in the kitchen. Good thing that Saza was not doing something to me, she was just staring, but the anger and hatred was on his face.
Perhaps she is scared of King Fire who bursts anger with her.
I wanted to jump so high, let out my tongue, and teased her if only I could.
“Hey, Fira! I heard what happened! How are you?” Cass was whispering to my ear as we cleaned the dishes in the sink. She was positioned on my right side.
“I’m good, but I’m sad. King Water takes all the responsibility. He got slashes from that.” I grabbed the rub, held the glass and dried it.
“How about King Fire?”
“He’s good. I don’t know where he goes.”
“He’s in the courtroom, Wh*re! You seduced him, that’s why he made you out from the punishment!” We looked at our back and saw Saza, standing while gritting her teeth. “What potion do you use to make him protect you?”
“What?” My forehead wrinkled. If Pyro was in the courtroom-
Crap! No! He took the punishment, too! His back would be so much in pain! Last time, he convulsed and the back was almost ripped.
The worriedness crawled all over my body. I had no clue why when I knew about King Water taking the slashes, it would not bother me so much. It bothered me, but not the same as how I worried about King Fire.
I have mistakes, too, but I was afraid that Pyro might burn in fire if I said I deserved a punishment, too.
My body shook as Saza went towards me. Cass was by my side, holding my hands tightly.
Saza was clenching her jaw. Her innocent face was no match to her attitude. When she moved closer and closer until we were face to face. “I’ll find out. If you used any trick, potion or bewitching him. You must be dead!”
“I didn’t use anything. We are friends.” Despite the shiver that crawled all over my spine, I managed to talk.
She laughed sarcastically. “Who would believe you?”
“I promise-” My mouth shut as her hand landed on my cheek. The sound of it echoed in the kitchen. The stinging sensation could be felt.
“You are too much!” Cass grabbed her hair and pulled it up.
In an instant, they were rolling on the floor, beating each other, slapping, kicking and all the violent acts.
“Stop! Please!” I had nothing to do except shouting for them to make them stop, but they seemed deaf for not hearing me.
If the Elemental Kingdom knew about this, they would have been punished because the rules were all of us supposed to be friends, no fights.
“Stop! It won’t help!”
Cass yanked the hair of Saza, she was giggling so bad. “You know I always wanted to do this!” She slapped Saza in a strong way that made her cheek red.
I never expected that Cass would do something like this, just to save me. She is a true friend. Indeed.
“Even if you are the leader of Omega, you cannot change the fact that you are still an omega!” Cass hit her over and over again even though Saza could not fight back. My friend was gritting and angry so bad, I could not recognize her deadly stare at her.
“Stop! Please… I surrender!” Saza was pleading to her not to beat her again. For the first time, I saw this woman scared of someone.
Cass stopped, she stood up as if nothing happened. She tapped her shoulder, chest, waist and knee like she was removing dust. “If you hurt my friend again, I’ll bald you!”
Saza did not do anything, she just glared at us and suddenly ran away when Cass acted that she was going to slap her.
I gazed at Cass with teary eyes. “Thank you so much.”
“That animal needs bruises for her to know that she is not a royal to act as if superior to everyone! She gets me pissed! My blood boiled for her!”
I hugged her so tight, she hugged me back. “I’m so lucky to have you.”
“Me, too, Fira. Just don’t let anyone hurt you. You’re such a kind woman. You don’t deserve such treatment.”
I moved my head from up and down. I could feel the heartwarming feeling from what Cass did to me.
She is a good friend.
