Arhon Graze, the beast...!!

Now was the time for me to get out of my parents sight and look for my beast,

"I think it's overwhelming for me to be in such huge crowd for the first time, I will just head out for a bit and come back.." just as I turned on my heels to head out I felt a hand grabbing my wrist,

"wait I will go with you too!!" they said in unison.

it wasn't one who took hold of my wrist, Crenis was holding my wrist, Crenia was holding me with her puppy looking eyes and Rose was holding me by clenching on my skirt.

"haaah...!!" I sighed while looking at them, I just couldn't shake them off nor could I bring them along with me, feeling defeated I looked up at mother and asked for help with my eyes, at times like this it is always better to let mother handle it.

"don't clench on her skirt Rose you are going to ruin it, leave her wrist Crenis if you don't want Fren to cut off your hand and also Crenia don't look at her with your puppy eyes you are no longer a kid now, are you?" mom said in one breath and it was all good. they all let go off me as if they never even intended to go along with me. but it was obvious how they all were dejected, I can't let it hold me down now I need to leave.

I smile at mom and try to leave again when I am met by my father's hands waiting right in front of me to escort me.

"I am going alone, dad" I say eternal looking at his eyes.

"no, how can my lovely daughter go alone in a place where I don't which dog might come after you...!!" he said exclaiming quite loudly.

"I am going to be fine dad...!" I say trying to pursue him.

Usually I would just ask mom for help, but today I have got an smart card in my hand, I look towards dad with a little devil hidden in my eyes and say, "mom will be all alone, if you go with me dad... " after pausing meaningfully for a second I continue, "what will you do if some dog doesn't come after me but goes after mom, you see she is quite a beauty for her age, you better be carefull."

just as I was going to add a bit more dad suddenly jolted and turned towards mom to leave while giving me a wink and saying, "my daughter won't be that easy to go after, so I will let you go alone"

Dad loves me and Rose a lot and is over protective of us sometimes but for mom he is not over protective, he is overly possessive of her, he is always scared that someone might take her away from him, there was no way of any lady being able to live with him but since it was mom she loved him for his every aspect. And never even thought of living him.

though I feel a little guilty for using his weakness like this, but what ever let's just go and find him.

I shake my head and set out with lots expectations, as this person is going to be the only way I can live safely through this life.

clenching my palms into a fist I resolve to myself inwardly and head to the Deadline's garden.

though it was a garden, no one ever entered it's grounds as it was rumored to be the place where former emperor was killed and then burried by assassins, the assassins were later caught and burned at the stake but after that no one ever entered the grounds again, except of him... My Beast...

***

"Arhon was the only person who ever entered the grounds, he was a silent person and never enjoyed the parties or any occasions that had a great number of people in it, he first discovered the ground when he was trying to get away from his designation grant party, where he was granted with a position of RED SCORPION KNIGHT's captain. it was the greatest position someone has ever achived in the history of empire at a young age of 19."

"this is all I remember about him" Erissa murmured as she paved her way through bushes to reach the center fountain where Arhon usually sat to admire the fountains night beauty.

just as she was pushing through the bushes, she lost the balance on her feet and saw the world go upwards as she hit her jaw on the ground.

"ahhh...!!" Erissa groaned as she tried to get up.

"Are you okay...? Young lady" asked a man coming towards Erissa.

realising that, a person at this place had to be Arhon, Erissa blushed before looking towards the man.

"I needed to make a good impression on him, What am I doing looking my worst in front of him" just as Erissa was mulling over in her head the man now kneeled in front of her and said, " it doesn't look to be as serious, you don't have to worry about it scarring" he said sounding relived.

Erissa's heart sounded loud and clear in her ears, and she knew it better than anyone that it wasn't so because of embarrassment she was facing now.

it was all because of that stunning beauty right in front of her, his hair were dark as the night sky behind him but were a lot more eye captivating than the sky, his red jeweled eyes which gave him the title of the beast looked like shinning ruby in her eyes and the tan he got from all the expeditions he have been on just added enhancement to his handsomeness.

without realising that she had been staring at him all this time Erissa blurted out, " your eyes looks like the rubies"

Arhon flinched on her remark and said, "that's quite a compliment, don't you find them disgusting"

Still confused by his reaction Erissa said, "why would I find them disgusting, they are so beautiful or instead should I say they are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my life."

Arhon wasn't really able to comprehend what to say next, so he just stayed quite and helped the girl in front of him up.

realising that she was still sitting on the ground, Erissa blushes when he helps her up and sit her next to the fountain behind them.

"if you don't mind me asking are you single??" said Erissa out of the blue.

which had Arhon taken aback and go quite for a moment before replying, " I am, mademoiselle "

"then please date me" Erissa said with utmost sincerity in her voice and eyes.
