Chapter 8

"Hey buddy, wait for me", on hearing this, Hazel kept on walking as she was reminded of her last night just by seeing Eric's face, she was so angry at him now that he didn't try to stop her last night (nonsense girl, as if Eric knew that the prince Uriel will come out immediately she left), "How come your expecting your teacher to run over to you silly girl?"...leave me Eric, you're annoying, how come you didn't signal me that he was approaching me last night?...Hazel said trying her best to control her tears, on seeing this, Eric couldn't help but feel sorry for her_ "I'm sorry Hazel, but how do you expect me to call you while he's approaching you?, you want me dead?", hearing this Hazel bit her lips on realizing she was the one at fault but she's not ready to let this man win over their argument_ "then why don't you call my name and die instead, at least you sacrificed your life to save me and I'll remember you for the rest of my life" _ "Huh ? me? waste my precious life ahead because of the silly you?" ha ha ha ha it should be in your dreams madame Hazel. Did he hurt you ? where? did he touch you? did something bad happen?", on hearing this, Hazel ran through the passage as she cannot hold her tears anymore, seeing this, Eric couldn't help but follow her behind being careful not to upset her the more.

Thump thump!! Hazel's heart accelerated immediately she banged on something strong, "looking for me ?" the voice she hated so much echoed in her ear, "Holy trash" how come she didn't notice someone before her while running? Mrs Jane told her that she was called by the prince and besides isn't he the one that asked her to come? why asking if she's looking for him? damn this man. "You made me wait this long why?", he enjoyed teasing her since he was amused by her teased face last night and now is the perfect chance to see the face again." Sorry your highness I came a bit late" Hazel gathered all the boldness and courage she has to reply the devil in angel's face disguise. "Hmmm I see how do you pay back the precious time I wasted just to wait for you?". "I am ready for your punishments your highness" Hazel replied coldly and determined, although she didn't like this question, but she felt a sudden braveness to accept what is before her, maybe she's bursting out her annoyance and at the same time fighting back her tears away with this technique. "hearing the cold reply with expressionless face on her, he couldn't help but felt speechless immediately as if she's the only woman that has ever made him speechless in his life. Finding his words back,... " well, your are to escort me to the ball today but not in this female attire of yours, Eric will give you a male's knight attire to wear to make you look masculine since you'll be able to attract a female with such looks and you must pretend to be a male, tsk tsk tsk, what a drama show to watch". He said with a wicked grin on his face moving away. "Finally, I'm able to remove one of the two pests girls out of my arms", he thought in his mind as he made his way to the staircase. Hazel was finally back from her shocked expression by the loud laughter of Eric making her hate him the more. "why the deadly stare? I'm I the one that told you to wear a males attire?

Finally, it's sunset after many hours of the day, maids scattered everywhere doing their best with one thing or the other inorder to obtain a better and beautiful decorated view of the palace to suit the overwhelming ball that is to take place. Hazel couldn't contain her anger which is being powered by the laughter of her stupid Knight friend Eric, staring at the mirror viewing the male version of herself with Eric behind her with his two hands on his stomach as he couldn't control his laughter anymore. Just the way he arranged her hair to look like a male's own and the fake light mustache he applied on her makes her want to disappear out of reach. "This outfit is very heavy for me, I can't even breath well" she said as she tried removing the armour on her... "No no no no Hazel, you know I will be dead if you do so, you and I have to escort prince Uriel to the ball toni..." "Prince Uriel my ass, what kind of punishment I this? I prefer my own outfit to this nuisance so called wear of you guys" Hazel replied rolling her eyes annoyingly as she couldn't contain the tantrums that devil is playing on her now. "Hmm, you see the difference between a man and a female knight?, you think it's easy wearing this around while you parade around on your sexy looking outfit in the name of a knight?"..."And is it my fault that some parts of a female knight's outfit is revealing? or are you jealous you're not a woman as well? Hazel said with a mocking look on her face. "Hello? Stop staring at my angelic face as if you've never seen me before you dummy", Hazel noted while moving her hands left and right before his face when she noticed the shocked expression on Eric's face with his wide Opened mouth while standing like a statue. "Hey are you deaf?" she said while her finger is making it's way to his wide Opened mouth..."Ooouuch, Eric you bite me with your decayed teeth?.... Why is your finger salty madame? did you finger yourself? yuk... You bite me Eric, boo hoo hoo Eric (she's crying) it hurts boo hoo hoo she cried as she made her bitten index finger to his face with her two right thumbs supporting it. " Woohoo, ain't you the one that inserted it into my mouth huh? .... Eric I'm in pain boo hoo hoo....Is that blood Hazel? your finger is bleeding seriously...." you're a monster, your teeth are sharp I_can't_bear_the_pain boo hoo hoo..."I'm sorry Hazel, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry" he said taking few steps forward to hug to her so dearly as if she will disappear once he leaves her. She sniffed his amazing scent as she was trapped into his comforting embrace, this one smells like fresh air, no other scent just fresh and cold air, so strange, although his body is warm but you can feel cold and peaceful air once you inhale him, geeez, how can hug be so comforting as this? stop stop Hazel, it's just a hug...but It's nice....no stop that thought of yours. In so sorry dear"

, he uttered as he backed away holding up her index finger to wipe away her blood with his tongue..." W_what are you doing Eric?..."Wiping the blood away my lady"....Ooouuch, take it easy there, it's hurting...."Alright, alright I'll be easy on you love, when the time comes I can't even wait for...."time comes on what?".. "Um, you will see it very soon(he had his free hand scratching the back of his head with it) you won't want me to take it easy anymore, you'll be like harder, harder love" he replied with silly smirk on his face, meanwhile Hazel forgot she's in pain, standing there with a shocked expression on her face, her mouth and eyes opened very wide as she carefully reasoned the meaning of what he said...."im sure you will lov...ERIIIIC!!! "Alright, alright, I'll say no more, he replied chuckling at the clear tomato red colours on her cheeks as evidence of her blushing face although it was masked with an angry look. "Now come let me tie it", "No leave me before you annoy me again you brat with dirty brain, even your prince is better than you stupid brat" she retorted forcefully removing her finger away from him". "But it will get infected Hazel"... "let it get, besides, you are not the one getting infected anyway, I'll treat it later once I'm done babysitting your so called prince Uriel hmmphh". Eric saw her barging out of the room annoyingly "What a hard woman to get along with, I wonder how her roomies get along with her but I really like her attitude anyway ha ha ha " Eric thought as he made his way out of the costume room moving out to join her attend the prince.

Meanwhile, someone seems to be fustrated in his chambers, he couldn't control his anger anymore but he had to endure and wait till night to unleash his annoyance. "He even had the guts to hug her and she responded willingly, that's good"..."We are ready to escort you highness to the ball". It's already ten minutes after informing the prince for about five good times but there seems to be no reply. "Are you sure he's inside?", Hazel whispered to Eric _ "then we will wait for his highness till he comes back and remember not to use this female voice of yours on the. all ground, try your best and form a deep voice unless you will be noticed" he replied. Three minutes later, the door opened revealing the angelic looking devil as he passed them without sparing the two a glance, they didn't have any choice but to follow him. This time Hazel tried her best to walk like a gentle man imitatig the walking steps of the man before him while Eric seems to have difficulty in controlling his laughter which didn't go unnoticed by Hazel. Ignoring him, she raised her shoulder and her head just like the way Uriel made his.
