68 Chapter 106: The Beginning (5)
"Are you okay Ophelia?!" Adelaide quickly rushed to her aids, checking any sign of wound but seeing that there's nothing just dirt from the ground.
"I'm fine Adel, it's just dirt and Samael stop me!" Adelaide deadpanned, everytime the female approached her, all that spill from her mouth is Samael.
Ghad, she's crushing the male too hard.
Adelaide can only sighed and patted the female's hair, Winter blew bubbles towards her face and laughed.
"Sister is jea—"
"Shut it Winter."
Samael watch as the three females interact with each other, he heard commotions at the training grounds while he is going to his Mother and have a little chat but he was distracted, he is about to leave when he notice his mother and especially Azazel that stood beside his mother!
"Azazel!" The boy exclaimed happily, running towards them and grabbing Azazel hand just to give it a little squeeze.
"Samael,"
"Hey there Br—" Alfred is about to greet his brother when the Empress stop him, " Let's talk later Azazel, as for you young boy, we need to talk."
The Empress grab Alfred at the ear, the male elicit small whimper as the Empress drag him away from the training grounds, leaving children and an older male.
"What are you doing here Azazel?"Samael asked, his eyes staring into Emerald once.
"I went to have a talk with your mother about my job, but of course the Empress quickly went here because of the commotion happening and I came with her."
"Did you accept Mommy proposal?!"
"Yes I did."
"Samael, who is he?" Oh, he forgot that there's three more children left behind.
Samael turned around and smile brightly.
"This is Azazel and my bride!"
The three females looked up towards the male, the male's green eyes staring at each eyes of the curious female, but he stared at Adelaide too much.
Samael pouted, jumping to break the contact between the two just to get his attention. "It's nice to meet the three of you, my name is Azazel Jones, Samael personal bodyguard."
"Woah, he's handsome sister!" Winter said, whispering to her sister ears, it was actually loud and not secretive at all but Azazel will pretend that he didn't heard the female comment to him.
"Bride?Male can't marry their same gender." Ophelia said, her eyes observing Azazel, it was scary for Azazel as he know that Ophelia have a little crush on Samael, and Samael just ignored her!
"Actually they can!" Winter said, actually yelling it as her cute pigtail bounced.
"Azazel let's play in the garden," Samael suggested. wanting to get out and have time with Azazel to himself.
"My name is Adelaide Blouse, and this is my sister Winter Blouse, Mister Azazel." Adelaide bowed to show respect for the older male, she also made Winter bowed to respect the older. Ophelia is just there, standing like a stundere seeing their crush being stolen away from them.
Aren't Ophelia suppose to be sweet?Not, this type of child he is expecting. For freaming sake, he is only Samael bodyguard and nothing more.
"It's very nice to meet the two of you, and what's your na—"
"My name is Ophelia Blouse, and Samae—"
"Ophelia, will you kindly zip your mouth close?" Samael suddenly spoke, his eyes glaring slightly at Ophelia who stood there suprise.
"It's only useless having chats, me and Azazel have to play!" Samael pouted, his cheeks bloating with red tint surrounding his cute chubby cheeks.
"Sama—" Azazel was about to speak and kindky asked the male to be more polite, the female have a crush on him and just plainly ignored him as he happily drag the male around.
Until now, Ophelia is still surpised.
-----
It's been 3 days since he stayed at the Imperial Palace and was assigned to be Samael bodyguard, until now the Empress wasn't there to continue the chat and Azazel have to waut for sometime to continue it. In those 3 days, all he did is play with Samael, he did even teach some magic to him while the tutor were absent fot the day because their wife is sick and can't take care of their children.
"We didn't continue our chat days ago." The Empress said, checking if the helmet is fully secured on her head, as she is about to do her daily horse ride along the forest. Azazel was invited along, but he nevet know how to ride one, even though he was a prince. He didn't particulary like moving around let alone ride a horse.
Azazel smiled sheepily, staring at the horse eyes as if he is about to kicked the living out of him.The horse that was assigned to him was a white horse, the horse was trimmed nestly with it's hair looking silk.
"Is there something wrong Azazel?"
The Empress noticed that he was blantly staring at the horse, still in dazed. Azazel fave flushed with pink, "About that Your Majesty, I don't know how to ride a horse."
The Empress blinked, before fetching someone to assigned Azazel a rider.
She can't miss her daily ruine for this one male who can't ride a horse.
Did he somehow just walk?
Nonetheless, the journey inside the forest continued wuth guards behind them as they keep the surrounding check to see any sabotage and try to kill the Empress. They can't fail their job as the Empress guards.
Azazel felt really embarassed, as he is sitting on the front while the same guard a few days ago is helping him.The guard is also nice, asking if Azazel is comfortable or is he feeling his butt hurting from riding.
"If you don't mind me asking Your Majesty, who is those three females, especially Ophelia?" Azazel asked, clearly knew who is those three females in fact but he need to know it from the Empress mouth about the three and also Alfred, who look like his Mother.
Is that why Peter thought that he saw him back then?But clearly he has violet eyes and not red ones. Maybe, Peter was very far to noticed Alfred eyes.Yeah, and where the hell is Peter anyway?
"Ahhh, about those three. Ophelia is the one with black hair and blue eyes, my husband decided to take Ophelia under his wings to guide her towards the good path.She can't control her magic yet, while the two are siblings;Adelaide and Winter."
"But, Ophelia also said that she is also a Blouse?" The Empress nodded, avoiding some trees along the way.
"Adopted actually,"
Azazel nodded, it seems the Empress really don't talk about them alot.He also want to know who is Alfred, but it's not the right time as she is calmly relaxing with the stroll.
The Forest was actually pretty, with no dangerous creatures lurking around and might eat them, let alone as it is the Empress taking her daily stroll. What's up with people daily strolling? He just didn't really get it why they love taking walks when it's really tiring.
"I want to answer your questions back there, about how we know that Samael met the demon king," Azazel noticed the guard behind him tense up from the sudden mentioned of the demon king.
Is the Demon King really that scary? Samael is much more scarier than this timeline demon king, wouldn't you believe that once a child wanted to be a hero and in the end became a villain?
But, this is it. It's one of the clues he can now finally get it and might involved with him disappearing and never exist in the first place.
Suddenly, the guard was shaking. He was looking back and Azazel can't help but look back also, what he saw was nothing.
Yes it is nothing, but the guards that follows them behind suddenly vanished without making any single noises, as they are riding on the horse who created some large noises with each steps it takes.
The guard shakily yelled at the Empress," Your Majesty!We need to head back now!"
His voice lace with panic, the Empress sighed before yanking the leash and turned her horse around to go back at the Palace, the guard also went back but before they can, people with cloak surround them, unable to let the horse trample them down.
Azazel facepalm, why do trouble always find him in any possible routes? Then, after this maybe someone will came to their aid and save them.
----
Lol, not a single soul arrived earlier and now they are stuck somewhere which the three didn't know after they knock them out.But, they do have a guess, seeing the cold concrete floor and metal bars caging them.
"Why do everytime I go out, they always find a way to kidnap me?" The Empress mumbled, the two;Azazel and the guard pretty mich heard it because of the silence inside the basement they're in, she was saying it like she was already kidnapped alot of times.
"We need to double the protection Your Majesty," The guard said, the helmet he was wearing was dispose of, showing the youth face of his.
He was actually young to be a guard, white hair and glowing blue eyes that can be use for a flashlight for emergency, his eyes help the darkness inside here.
"Damn that bastard Leonar, he wants to steal Ophelia and use her for bad things."
The Empress sighed, still tugging the rope tied around her hands, leaning back her head as she took that it's no use.
"Who's Leonar?" Azazel asked, starting a conversation can lighten up the serious tension here. Getting rid of the half of his fear from being kidnapped again, or even more as a hostage fro them to bring Ophelia to them.
"Leonar, Leonar is the Empire greatest enemy, first in line actually while the demon king is the second, pretty accurate right? The island is actually split in two, the other where Leonar resided, where all bad things actually happened and he wanted to take over the whole island for himself."
Island? So, and the island they are actually is split into two? Well, this will take a long time for him to discover all the things he need.
What's worse, some other clues that he need to find actually might be found on the other side, making it the worst timeline he ever went into.
"And Ophelia is still struggling to control her magic. We might never know when she can fight along side with us to defeat and expand our territory. Our Population is rising Your Majesty,"
