Chapter Sixteen

Caspian was sleeping when Arthur dropped by his room.He heard from one of his subordinates that the Youth woke up a few hours ago, totally missing those purple eyes glimmering towards his.

The reason why he didn't get to see Caspian earlier because of the duty handed to him.His Father made him visit the Academy to make sure he is comfortable during his time there.

He was not worried that the two of them will seperate once he step foot inside the place.In fact, he heard that Caspian will have a special slot for him to be one of the student to attend the new semester.

He sat down at the side, carefully not disturving the boy from his sleep.It was obvious how much energy he mend out during that situation, he was even paler than before.

The pale sun light behind the thin curtain seeped out from the fabric and shone at his sleeping figure.The image before his eyes really made his heart beats faster than him running away from his duty as the Crown Prince.

Such a precious was never meant to be tainted.Taking out the Youth's hand under the quilt, he interwined their fingers.The lingering warm felt so comfortable around his, like Caspian was made to be his furnace that keeps burning him.

If it is possible to keep him by his side, he will ought to married him on the spot.Lifting their interwined hands, he kissed the pale knuckles each, eyes staring deeply into the Youth.

He promised this time, he will protect this sunshine through rainy days.

Caspian and his family returned after 2 days staying at the Palace.Once they reached their home, they were flooded with gifts, letters and invitation around the Empire.

Norman has to sort this out through 2 days they were gone.Caspian really feel great having a good and reliable butler that worked for them. His Father gave Norman a 3 days leave, even pushing him outside theur manor because Norman keep saying no.

To think that Norman don't like having day off was weird.Everyone loved having day off and especially some lazy buns wh o don't want to worked at all.

Ehem.

He was a tad disappointed that he didn't get to see the Crown Prince.Seriously, Arthur really lived rent free from his mind.

It's kinda embarassing to call out for him, knowing that he is busy handling some duties as a Crown Prince once he made debut publicity.

But one day, he received a peculiar letter that made his Father proud but not suprised.Sitting at the dining table with his family, he heard his Father cleared his throat.

"Caspian, that letter is from the Academy.They want you to study there to enhance your skill." His Father said, dropping those words like how his Father spend his money like water.

"Isn't that academy filled with magic?!" Rose bounced on her seat, the chair making squeak noises each time the foot of the chair scratch onto the cold tile floor.

"It is.Your Brother is going to attend there,"

"That does mean Brother is going away?"

Rose quickly thought, the maid behind her quickly gave orange juice to try and cheer her up a little bit.

"Of course he is.He needs to control and grasp his ability fully.How can he protect us when he can't even protect himself." Alex grumply chomp on the chicken, his cheeks puffing out from the food, resembling a cute angry chipmunk.

His Father, trying to comfort the youngest."You don't have to worry Rose, we can visit your brother there anytime.Alex is right, Caspian is only 16 and don't have that much information about the ability he has."

Rose nodded, she understand perfectly but still, she looked up to her Older Brother, eating silently with his eyes staring at the floor.Despite being with him for the past years, she can't grasp her brother's way of thinking.

Caspian can protect them, he literally has the Crown Prince guarding him from behind.Especially to those people who like his Brother Caspian, she likes Arthur more!

After the dinner, he spoke to his father about that issue.His Father comforted him about how staying at the Academy is much better rather than roaming around the Capital.Oliver is also sure that some people can easily trick this son of his easily, with just a piece of candy.

Sure, getting inside the academy is like an achievement for everybody.The school was prestigious that even from another country, people will try anything just to get inside.

He just achieved that fron unlocking his ability at the age of 16.That's really rare around the Country.Still, he can't be sure that he can do this. He just died abd wad thankfully and at the same tine unfornunately transmigrated into a cannon fodder, with only a few sentences before he died.

He did avoid that without doing anything.

The plot just keep moving but taking another direction at the time.It frustrated him from how much different is the script going.

Looking outside, the full moon shining ad illuminating the trees outside.The clouds are barely seen at the night.He got up fron the bed ad open the balcony, the wind rustling and hitting his shaking figure.

What can he really do?
