War of Silver and Red (10)
Gaze had been at this going through lesson for about half a month, The Red Guard, Jonathan's people have been making a lot of noise. The intensity of their attacks has increased rather than stop. She had seen Ray, The Queen, and only has been in light flirtatious contact with Davlan.
In the middle of the garden, Gaze has decided to take of her shoes and gloves, she honestly hated wearing them, she also preferred loser clothes. So that her skin can take in the breeze. Something about being around nature just applied so much to her.
Flower grew beneath her feet as she dances around, today was on of the rare free days she was giving. Because of the progress of her studies. The Instructors are of nothing but praises because they barely have enough to teach her.
She knew that Nicht was close by.
"Are you having fun?" She heard Davlan voice, he came to visit her again.
"OF course, freedom, is pleasant and fun one its one" She said as she ran around back and forth on the flowers. They didn't take damage and where quiet durable. Her ankle bends as she was having to much fun and she was about to fall when Davlan catches her and the both fall to the ground.
This Closeness Gaze, didn't feel like leaving, it was because of something on him that she felt was so familiar, she hug he wanting to get to get a little closer.
"Cassia" she whispered, with a flushed face. She was about to say more when a shock of lighting in the form of flash went through. Making her pass out.
Gaze woke back up in her room, Davlan, was asleep in a chair not to far from her. Her eyes where glazed over she crawled over to him. Davlan only woke up when the moment her lips met his. He didn't reject it and only pulled her close. She fell back asleep like that.
Afterwards it seemed that they were closer and spent more and more time together. Much to his mother's displeasure. Gaze does find it odd that she hasn't seen Ray in awhile and wonders if he is really busy. She forgot that since her appearance had been broadcasted live, Jonathan had become more erratic in his attacks.
If Gaze was in a normal state, she wouldn't have pushed this into the back of her mind, she wouldn't have forgotten this. But right now, her affections are starting to cloud her judgment. She also would have noticed the changes in Davlan, that where very subtle.
She would have thought about Vivian and the women slowly preparing and waiting for an opportunity to attack.
In the Garden, Gaze was leaned into him while she was reading a book, on history and along royal Silver family betraying each for the throne. Davlan was reading his own book of her choosing one about science.
"Davlan' Gaze couldn't help but say with a frown, she had been to into her personal feelings. But, this book helped her focus more.
"Yes?" he said his Gaze not moving away from his own book.
"Do you hate your father?"
Davlan froze. "What brought this up?" Gaze didn't look up at him, she didn't want to read him. Davlan looked at the book in her hands and remembered what she was reading.
"Your brother too?" She pressed, her Gaze still in the book.
"No, I don't" he said simply, his eyes flickered indicating his lie. But Gaze didn't see them as she sighed in relief, she didn't want to believe her would lie to her. But today she was a bit clearer headed. She remembered where she stood in the world.
Davlan missed the sorrowful face she had on.
An Enemy is an Enemy, even if that enemy is someone you love.
"Do you want to be King?" She asked next, Just because her attention span lacked doesn't mean she won't keep an eye on others. Ray, he is a great Knight, and wonderful Prince, he is extremely talented. But as a King, he won't be able to do so. With as Great and Talented as he is, he'll follow his father's footsteps and oppress the people like his father before. Sadly, he is a fixed person, he'll say he'll give effort but won't apply it.
That is At least How she observed him as. And once her thoughts go rolling they pile up into truths and theory.
The King is just like his siblings keeping the mindset of being on top of the world and never truly worrying about falling. A Deadly confidence that comes from the belief that his own family members won't betray him. He clearly sees the greed and cruelty in his wife's eyes. While his younger son he expects him not to be jealous of his older brother and support him wholeheartedly.
That was it he only expected it and didn't pull forth any action for it. His wife can manipulate the minds of others....
Gaze stopped right their and inwardly went pale, she didn't want to believe a woman was poisonous enough to make her son into a puppet. To not allow her child any freedom to be themselves. She tries to stop her thought and wanting to ask. But her heart is scared.
The Greed of One can truly be vicious.
