Chapter 50: Welcome Party (2)

Days have passed and Caspian didn't saw Arthur these days, it worried him but Erald assigned him to do some tasks since he disappeared that day.

Alistair didn't bother him these days, he just stared at him for a couple of minutes, before disappearing. Caspian almost, LITERALLY almost want to poke his eyes that stares at him weirdly.

Gwen sometimes met him at the garden and even chat, saying how Valerie and her get along pretty well and even have the same idea of travelling around the world.

Valerie also didn't saw the Prince, that's what Gwen said to Caspian.But, Valerie said that it will take some time.

It also happened to her when they were a child, she accidently fell of the tree and Arthur blamed himself for that.

He always spend time at his room, mostly sleeping and learning some magics that he borrowed at the library.

And before he knew it, the party came.

He took a turn as he obderve the outfit he was wearing.

He's wearing a plain shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt he's wearing a classy vest with 5 buttons, it has a very narrow v-line, which allows for a large portion of the top to remain visible, even if the suit's jacket is buttoned up.

The jacket is a perfectly tailored fit for him. It has an intricate rope strike pattern which makes it look stylish and graceful. The 3 buttons of his single breasted jacket are all buttoned up, a stylish and elegant choice.

The jacket is the same length all around, it has vents at either side, there's a pocket on either side and there's a breast pocket which contains a stylish pocket square.

He's wearing pants which copy the style of the jacket, both in color and pattern and they perfectly complement his shoes.

In short, the outfit was too perfect for him to wear. He style his pink hair and decided to gel it to give him the neat look that he wanted to represent.

It's too fancy to attend this kind of style but he want to give himself an applause to his look.

Suddenly, someone came knocking at the door. " Caspian we are going first, let's meet each other at the entrance."

Eli voice outside the room, Caspian replied back.

"Sure, I'll see you there."

He made sure the female wasn't there anymore as he took out something under the bed, a brown box without anything designed to it except that it's only plain looking.

He took out sometjing from the box and it's a book, a book that he is writing these past days to keep him company, he put the book diwn on the desk and opened it.

He made sure to not put his name but he put the signature that he saw at the original book that his Mother read to him. He just don't wanna forget the author of the novel he is in right now, he even write the same sentences and grammars so he can go back to this book and check the next upcoming scene that happen in the novel.

It was a blessing that he still remember all the contents inside the book, he laughed out loud when a thought came to his mind.

A thouht that he was a genius in the begginning.

It was actually coincidence that the unused book had the same cover of the novel.It is his really lucky times.

He looked outsude the window and it is indeed dark, but the firefly and the moon made the outside bright.

He return the book under the bed and brushed off anything dust at his outfit, taking a last look at the mirror, he left the room.

As he walked along the path, he hope that Arthur is feeling better now and that he is back from being annoying person.

He suddenly remember the first day he got here, with Caspian face showing up and even the characters he read.

It was almost like a dream, but until now he is not waking up to this nightmare that he can call. A nightmare where everything is true, and him being at the side of the Prince and not some villain he was supposed to be.

With everything happen, the plot changing and some new characters that didn't appear in the novel, should he also accept his feeling for the prince?

But, will that path takes them to much more dangerous they face?

He shook his head and brought a smile on his face, he should think about this right now and stop worrying aboht the things that will not happen still but in the future.

Suddenly, someone grab him at the back and covered his nose with something that makes him dizzy.

'What the actual fuck?'

His eyesight blur and the thing he last saw is a person smiling.

'That person smile is creepy,'

-----

Eli paced back and forth and keeps biting her nail, to the point it almost bleed from biting too much.

The party is about ti begin and her partner is still missing from the action, Jamie is wuth her to accompany her, even she is worried.

"Where the hell is he?"

"Calm down Eli, maybe he took number 2 or something.Let's wait for him inside," Jamie grab the female by the shoulder, Eli look at the forest hoping that Caspian appear out of nowhere and say suprise that he's alive.

But, for now she must go inside the venue.

The dress covers her shoulders entirely and flows down into a fancy sweetheart neckline. It's a comfortable fit which helps remove some of the unwanted attention on her breasts, but does so by still looking elegant.Her arms have been covered only halfway down. The sleeves are simply, yet elegant. A perfect combination of grace and style.

She saw Erald and the others in a single table that is assigned to them. The table is divided by each faction with the Fire Faction completely swarmed the whole place because of their huge population.

Erald wave at the two female, as well Maggie and Jake wearing the same color.

"I can't find Caspian, he's still not here."

Eli said to Erald.

"You guys didn't look for him at the dorm?"

The females shook their head, Eli was abiut to speak when a loud sound and the music begun to play.

Eli went closer to say something to Erald but he also didn't know what she was saying.

Suddenly a small ball of appear at the top, the color is changing into different colors that represent the four faction attending.

Suddenly the ball started to get bigger and bigger until it pop, different colors of confetti fall over the place. The students' yelling in excitement, the party started and Caspian wasn't here to witness that.

"Goodevening Students!" The Headmaster flew fron the top and slowly got down as her dress flew in different direction, she didn't wore her usual witch hat and the students' got a glimpse of her beauty.

"We are glad that everyone cane prepared for this party! As we all know, the Prince debut and receive his magic, he is the second to receive the light magic in history!"

The students' begin to scream even louder.

"This party is for welcoming the prince! And welcome him to the Elysian Academy!"

Suddenly the floor is being covered by changing color of fog, the spread was slow but the smell is amazing.

Small crystal ball appeared one by one, all of them are color of the light and they formed a small circle before they started to break.

All of the balls break and the room is engulfed with a huge light, they covered their eyes and it disappear after a few second, revealing a sparkling Imperial Prince.

He is sparkling! He smiled and that it even made hin sparkle, he was looking everywhere and couldn't find the pink haired male byt he did find Alistair, talking to the Ice faction baout sonething before runnijg at the side and approaching one of the teachers.

It's been a few days since he last saw the male, he didn't have any guts to face Caspian after he hurted him.

Adelaide pass the mic towards the Prince, he looked at her aondering what shall he do at the mic.

Adelaide whispered, " Say something kr anything, sing or poet just say something."

Arthur nodded before speaking.

"Hello Everyone, it's a pleasure that I get to have a party that everyone wants. It's only short but I hope that you guys enjoy this night,"

Arthur soon came down after his little speech, Adelaide stood there shock until Mrs. Rosetta came to the stage and whisper something to her.

"Someone is going to sabotage the—" Before Rosetta can continued her sentence.

The fog that was covering the floor suddenly change it's color into black, the students' clap thinking that this is part of the show but it is not.

Adelaide pupil shake and looked at the teachers who's also confused but Adelaide mouthed something to them.

"BUILD A SHIELD INSIDE THE PLACE NOW!"

They all froze before going into different path, Arthur was making his way into the Ice faction table and once he arrived there, he asked all of them.

"Where is Caspian?"

All of them shook their head, Eli came to him and said.

"Caspian is not here, he didn't attend the party bur he was dressed earlier."

"Alistair went back to the dorm," Jamie said, appearing behind Eli.

"I need to go there now," Arthur said.

There's something wrong about the party today, even the black fog is not part of the event!

Suddenly Rue appeared looking like he run miles before getting here, he panted before catching his breath.

"We need go evacuate the students now, someone got in." Rue wiped off the sweat on his forehead, he looked at them one by one.

You could say that the Headmaster put her faith towards the Ice Faction, Rue knows that the lesser people he can gather to help the less people will ignore.

But, what will their excuse?

"W-what do you mean by that Rue?" Jamie stuttered.

"I said someone is trying to assasinate the Prince on the welcome party, gather all the students' at the garden and make them sit there."

Erald stood up, as a fellow friend of Arthur, he wants the Imperial Prince to be save.

"Okay, but first we need to talk to Vlad and Daewi and explain the things to them now."

Jamie went to the Fire faction, Eli went to the Nayure faction and of course Raven already know what is happening so he decided to retreat his people in the shadow.
