I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 83: HUNTING EVENT 2

Cabel and Evelyn were still looking at the flowers scattered in the beautiful garden of the St.Prisch Academy.

Though the two people were known to have disputes because of the incident during the assessment test, amidst them, the two have a contractual relationship. They made a deal that only the two knew.

Cabel was looking at her, who was busy admiring the roses, for Cabel he was sincere to start a friendship to Evelyn. He knows her more than anyone else.

The reason why he didn't threaten Evelyn when she knew about his other identity was also his decision, just to have a reason for them to have contact.

Evelyn was a nice person to him. She was a ball of sunshine. He tried to gain her attention when they met and tried becoming acquaintances during the banquet ball of the first born of the Emsworth.

It was worth the trouble, he thought as he glances at Evelyn who was talking to him with her sweet voice.

"So, it's alright the circumstances put you to choose between killing or be killed. And if I choose, I'll also save myself and choose to kill the enemy." She said, smiling.

'I can't help it! This world is fantasy, where killing humans is easy as killing an ant. Especially, in the aristocrats who always have a reason to kill each other just because of political powers, or on a whim.' She thought as he reached out to also pat Cabel who was still looking at her.

He smiled, gently and warmly. It was the first time that someone accepted him without questioning what he has done to get here.

He tucked the hair at the back of her ear. He plucked the biggest blooming rose that he saw and put it right into her raven hair. His eyes were shining so brightly when he saw how the red suited her ombre hair.

"You're so beautiful, Eve." He said. His emotions were so heavy for his heart that he can't help but utter such words.

The surrounding air was whispering with unknown emotions, at that moment, her ombre hair, sways beautifully like the soft waves, flowing in stoke of his big hands. Her black hair with a tip of silver-blue was shining with every ray of sun that grazed it.

She looked at him and heard his sincere praise, she smiled, a genuine smile when she heard it. Her cherry lips that softly arched upward to form a lovable smile made Cabel mesmerized by her beauty. It feels that the moment was majestically made to filter Evelyn's appearance in his eyes.

Unknowingly, he reached for her thin white hands and kissed the back of her palm. He raised his head to looked at her sunset eyes that mirrored his appearance like a glass and utter words,

"I wish to be forever by your side, Eve" he said.

"Huh?" Evelyn was bewildered.

Cabel was also flustered about what shocking words he said. He immediately tried to make an excuse.

"Wha- what I mean is to be your friend and accomplice yeah!" he said, standing up abruptly and hiding his red face while he looks around like he was searching for something.

"O-okay" Evelyn replied.

The awkward embarrassing moment soon filled the air. And the two decided to part ways.

***

The days flew by so fast that the noble families arrived in their luxurious carriage. Everyone was dressed in a way to show how much wealth and power they possessed. Even the King arrived to attend the annual hunting season of the St. Prisch Academy.

"Greetings! esteemed guest may I see your pass?" Chrisfold said the guardian that guard the entry of the St. Prisch Academy.

"Oh my a young man as a guardian. You must be strong~ do you want to become a knight under a marquess wing?" she asked.

A scroll was passed to him by an attendant. With the red lace tying the rolled-up sheet

"I'm grateful for your kind offer, Madam Valeria, but I'm satisfied with my current position." Chrisfold said.

Madam Valeria was the mother of Vallen from the house of a Marquess household. She was known to be greedy for looks with strong powers and recruit them to be part of the Marquise army and it seems her target for today is one of the guardians, Chrisfold.

"Oh my young man! Don't be so stiff! If you change your mind, then please do tell. The hunting season will last for three days you can take your time to think about the advantage of getting into my household."

"Thank you, Madam. Your pass has been verified, please proceed." He said without looking at the woman and pointing at the direction of the open portal in a gentlemanly way.

"Alright, young man~ see you around" she said.

Chrisfold bowed.

The carriage was starting their wheels and began to take the open route that will lead the gates of St. Prisch Academy.

And when he saw that the carriage was gone, he sighs.

"Why am I here, opening gates for these people?! I should be besides Evelyn." He mumbles as he looks at the clear blue sky.

Another long-sigh escaped his lips as he saw quite a line of carriages with the nobles inside.

***

The two powerful bodies of school, the representatives of each year level, who voice the opinion of what the student wants that have an equal benefit result for everyone, and the Elite force who have the final say when it comes to the concern of policies within school and also who have a power to order the knights and magicians within the school.

The representatives were busy with all the preparation that was needed for the start of the upcoming hunting event. Their task was accommodating the parents who will visit their children, They're also the event organizer. It's the task of the twelve representatives.

The other student body, the Elite Force, who was equivalent to a school council have another task, it is the safety of the noble parents as well as scouting the area where the hunting grounds will take place.

They need to check twice today so that no accident will occured and also as a precaution. Their performance will be seen by the other high aristocracy as well as the majesty the king.

It was the perfect chance to let them see the capability of the next generation that will lead the Kingdom once a new regent will take place.

Evelyn is busy inspecting the weapons that will be used during the event. The event will solely rely on physical abilities, swordsmanship, or any weapons that can be used as long as magic wasn't cast.

She's in the warehouse tallying how many bows and swords are needed to be taken out. The school provides all the necessary items that were needed for the event. It's a precaution so that no tampering was made to the weapons.

Everything was made by high quality materials so the nobles don't protest about this rule.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps was heard coming from outside the door. Evelyn looked back and saw Edickart.

"What are you doing here alone?" he asked, he stepped inside and went to Evelyn.

She curtsies and bows in front of him, "Greetings to the little sun of the Kingdom of Levingstone your highness, the Crown Prince, may the sun guide your path."

"You may rise!" when he saw that Evelyn stood back up, he asked again.

"What are you doing here alone?" without missing a single beat, Evelyn answered as fast as the speed of light.

"Doing work" she said, her voice echoed inside.

"You?" she continued to ask.

"I need to check if the weapons are ready to move into the hunting grounds Why are you working alone? Isn't supposed to be the first representative who would do this kind of task?' he asked.

"I AM a freshman representative that's why I'm working here." She answered, her voice a bit annoyed.

"I'm done, you can order your men to take this out!" she continued and pointed her long fingers to the box containing the weapons.

"Is that so?"

"Yes then, I'll leave first your highness." She said bidding him goodbye.

He catches her small pale wrist and pulls her closer.

"Do you have a decision now, Evelyn?" he asked.

"Your highness, I think that it would be inappropriate to discuss this thing here" she said, looking up at him.

He let her arms go, "You're right! It would be nice to talk about our engagement in a field full of flowers right?" he asked with his mischievous smile.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" she replied, looking away from his emerald eyes."

"Eve..." he sighs.

"We need to talk again after this hunting event" he continued.

"Yes, your highness" she replied.

'I wonder will that happen?' she thought and smirked.

" And Eve, I heard another rumor," he said as he looked at Evelyn's sunset eyes.

"What kind of rumor is it this time?" she asked. She has a lot of rumors that she couldn't count how many it is now.

He looked at her, they caught each other's gaze. His face turned serious and his brows knit.

"I heard that you're spending time with that b*stard Adley? Is that true?" He asked, his voice having a hint of irritation.
