Chapter 45: Going Back (1)

The accident earlier shook the whole continent, even it only happened in the border line, the people started to trembled in fear knowing that Samael is back.

Caspian already know that but the part of having a succesor is the one who gave him shivered, I mean everything is scary from the first day he got here.

The plot changed, Arthur wasn't meant to meet Samael already and the part of having a next demon king is not really part of the novel.

thinking about it only gave him the creeps,

he stared at the mug in his hand, the amount of liquid wasn't even touched or decreased.

After the two left, leaving a hords of demons which is easy about taking care of that but how the hell did that person know him well actually his name is.

He wasn't popular to begin with or maybe that Red person told Samael about him saving the Imperial Prince and saying ghat he is a threat to their plan but they didn't attack him and just stop the magic from touching him.

"You okay there?" Arthur came to sat with him in the grass, the guards and Peter is trying to build the remaining houses of the citizens, it was thankful that the smaller branches wasn't harmed in the beginning so they helped and gave some foods, as well woods and help them have shelters.

"Im fine, just drained since you know I over do it my magic,"

He looked at Arthur before placing the mug on his lips and drank it, the warm cocoa is making him feel relaxed at the cold night.

The citizens decided to camp here in the opened area in which Caspian lead them, Peter was a genius preparing some supplies that nobody even know where it appears but he have the scouting vibe around him and started to build the tents and even have a campire in the middle to warmed the citizens.

Caspian went distance himself from the others and find himself a cfortable place where he can see all the people having fun despite their village burning down, it was a lucky that the statue of Ophelia wasn't touched or burned down.

"You should rest more, I should have not left you with that bastard,"

"Oh, Alistair?" Caspian chuckled, remembering the sick feeling because of Alistair feeding him too much sweets.

"Yeah, I mean you got sick and almost died!"

"wait what?"

"What?"

Casian blinked before looking at the distance where he can see the Headmaster and the others helping the citizens.

And why is Alistair injured? He have a white bandage on his nose, still have the charming smile in his face.

"Yah, stop staring at him too much, im more handsome than him." Caspian head tilt to the side and face Arthur.

The hand under his chin was still there while Arthur stared at him intensely.

It's been a few days or even weeks since Arthur acting weird around him, and he even have to guts to joke around him.

All the touching makes him, weird too.He wants to puke out the butterflies that dances inside his stomach, he's unfamiliar with the feeling.

' Arthur must be bored so that's why he messed around with me, '

"Yeah you're handsome but annoying at the same time," Caspian gently slap Arthur's hand on his chin and continued to gaze infront, he almost blushed how gentle and warm Arthur's hand is.

"Annoying?! Explained why I'm annoying?"

Caspian only giggled how persistent Arthur become, he ignored the male and continued to gaze infront, not minding the really annoying Imperial Prince.

' Yeah, I don't know why you're annoying but I enjoyed your presence, Imperial Prince Arthur, '

-----

It's been four days since they were staying here, they were supposed to leave after the incident but the Headmaster said that it's also their responsibility to helped them rebuild Modan.

It was fun and Caspian enjoys his stay at Modan, you could say that they got closer even more. They even had the guts to throw Caspian at the lake and just laughed at him.

But, thanks to Victoria they were also thrown at the lake saying that they should be fair.

Alistair apologized to him that day and decided to buy him fruits instead sweets, Caspian managed to forgive him since he only wants to get closer to him.

Again, Alistair was punched by Arthur in the eye, resulting Alistair having a black eye.

Daewi and Vlad fought over him who gets to spend the remaining time to him, and you know who won?

Raven, suprise mothertruckers.

Raven is actually a good and kind male, he helped Caspian move the woods using his 'friends, ' or more like shadows.

In the end Daewi and Vlad decided to partner up and showered Caspian with their love towards him, they have to run away because Arthur chased the two.

' This is not so bad at all, '

The last time he was happy like this maybe, the family going to a picnic or even doing fishing.

The laughter they shared still ringed in his ears, the magical moment between him and his family was actually— No he missed those times that they are still complete and happy family.

"Everytime I walked up to you, you always in dazed."

Caspisn peak ovet his shoulder and saw Arthut there, standing behind him looking cleaned.

Despite helping farming, not a single dirt touched him or his clothes, while Caspian here is almost covered in it.

Those damn dirts, having biased.

"That means im not interest talking to you,"

Caspian gave him a small smile before plucking the carrots and throwing at the basket.

"Then, im not going to stop talking to you, even though you find me annoying."

Arthur went beside him, also helping pluck the carrots out of the soil.

"How old are you actually Caspian?"

Caspian laughed before answering.

"Im only 16 years old Imperial Prince."

"It looks like I need to wait."

Arthur sighed, throwing bunch of carrots in a new basket.

"What?"

"Don't mind that, do you need help carrying that basket?"

Caspian shook his head, he can handle this even though his thin arms looked weak, he is pretty strong.

He lifted two basket in once, smiling confidently at Arthur before he went out a oof!

He glared at the so called muscles of his, he heard Arthur laughed at the distant.

"Shut up Arthur, it's not even funny!"

He winced, seeing his under is covered in mud! That even made the Imperial Prince laughed, suddenly a snowball slam into the Prince face, making him stop.

"Now, who's the loser?"

"That's not fair!"

------

"Finally, were back!" Daewi said, propping his arms in the air.

Caspian looked around the place, it was still the same forest where they left not too long ago, his back was hurting from farming too much, before they left.

Caspian played snowball fight with Arthur and soon the rest joined them.

"You guys could take a day off for today, the farming took a large toll at the children, I'll contact Nesrin saying we will need to rest."

The Headmaster said, she snap her fingers and in the air appeared a crystal ball.

"Ok, then I shall take my leave. I still need to informed the rest that we arrived safetly."

Instructor David left after that, Vlad left also, saying he need to rest his body after farming too much.

Raven disappeared after they teleport, he forget that it is morning. Alistair and Daewi left together, even though they mostly did all the stuff, they still have the energy attending class.

That's mean, Caspian and Arthur are the only one left in the forest, not that Arthur didn't mind though.
