Chapter 202: blatant insult

Neeeh…. Neeeeh

The carriage came to halt. 

"Take it easy Severus" Rze was the first one coming down from the carriage and assisted Severus. 

Severus barely had any strength left so he did not deny the help. Now. He just wanted a peaceful slumber. 

Uze totally ignored both. The moment Severus got down; he asked the coachmen to take the carriage to the parking lot. A gust of winds escaped from the horse hooves.

Cough Cough.

"That bastard…." Rze cursed.

"Let's head inside Severus". 

Severus nodded in response.

Severus was alarmed to see Minya as well as Moon together. 

However, Severus sneered inwardly. Since they both wanted to toy with him, now it was a payback time for two of them. Since neither Moon had ever acknowledged Minya nor Minya did. He was really amused and looked forward to witnessing what types of tricks they would put up this time. 

Severus practically caught them red handed.

Thud!

Rze dropped his support and bent on his knees to greet his lord. 'Greetings crown prince". He totally ignored Moon as if he did not see her. 

Damn you Rze

Severus cursed in his mind, but he too followed the suit and said his greetings. "Greetings Crown prince"

"You both may stand," Minya said.

Immediately Rze and Severus were back on their feet.

"You look awfully tired today Severus. Is something the matter?"

Severus shook his head. "Nothing. I just feel tired than usual. Maybe I am feeling under the weather."

"Perhaps" Minya said.

"Rze you are dismissed." 

"….."

So straightforward.

Rze was stunned but immediately proceeded with his lord's order.

"Yes" 

He bowed a little to show his respect and left Severus on his own.

HEARTLESS

Thud!

The door behind him closed. Now it was only two of them…or should he say three of them. Severus had no plans to acknowledge the cursed spirit until and unless either Moon or Minya addressed it.

Since the Moon was still there it was impossible for Minya to inquire further and Severus was aware of it. His plan will foil if the guardian spirit got the wind of it. Despite being shackled. Her powers can still cause uproar if she becomes angry. Even with his special gift as a curse. It was very demanding for Minya to fight the spirit. He reluctantly took a step back.

"Since you are so burdened, I suggest you should head back to your room and have some rest. It's still late but I guess you don't need to go to the library tomorrow. Enjoy a full day rest. I will inform Rze and Uze about it, so you don't need to worry."

"Very thoughtful of you crown prince. Now allow me to take my leave" Severus asked in courtesy.

"Sure" 

With being granted permission, Severus left the main hall.

"Why did he ghost me?" Moon pouted.

"I was looking forward to meeting him and here he is, ghosting me. Not even acknowledging my existence" 

"…."

"He probably ghosted you since I didn't tell him anything about you and if he addressed you in front of me, there would have been several unanswered questions for you as well as me. I don't know whether it was deliberate or not, but I am afraid he started doubting us."

Oh My!

Moon gasped.

Minya had his deliberations but he was not sure. 

Moon laughed cheekily. "Even if he got suspicious, he neither holds the power nor the power to harm us. Why do you even care?" He asked him jokingly.

No matter how much light she made it sound, they both were aware that if Severus wanted to exact revenge on them, he wouldn't face much difficulty. 

What should they do if he decides to give them a hard time? 

Both were thinking the same thing while putting a façade.

Smirk.

"Did you take him for a fool?"

Moons scoffed. "Of course, not"

She left the room after stomping her foot.

Minya too left the room. Earlier he was hoping to see her, but now, he was forced to wait. 

It doesn't hurt to wait a little more after waiting for a decade. 

----

Inside Severus' room.

A small bird flew over a man and happily perched on his shoulder. [ I got some dreadful news]

"I too" Severus sounded equally tired. 

Noworry noticed Severus was not like his usual self. [ Something happened? You look as if someone knocked you out.]

[HA!]

[Don't tell me it's true?]

When noworry noticed Severus expression, he didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

Well given the way noworry was, he laughed his ass out.

[Just one day!!]

[ I left you for one day on your own and you come home like this. All bruised up.]

[HAHAHAHAHAH]

"....."

"HAHAHA"

"Had enough laughter or wanted to laugh more?" Severus asked sarcastically.

[Okay] Noworry stopped cracking up.

Severus was already very exhausted with his fight so without any further delay he told Noworry about everything. He told him how he met Glen, then fought with the dead corpse of the late princess aka little sister of Minya. He even told him about those scarlet reflections as well his doubts about the moon and Minya.

Severus expected some reaction from Noworry but he somehow Noworry was very cool headed about everything. As everything that happened was within his expectations. Or you could say he saw it coming. Severus felt curious but he knew he should be patient.

[ Although I knew it the truth would be something like this, but I never imagined it to be corrupt at this level. I just loathe people like Many and Moon. They only do what they feel good about. Their choices, the decagons they take, the power they hold, everything just revolves around them. Despite being aware about the consequences, they still follow the path of doom]

Severus didn't know where the conversation was heading too, he even felt slightly lost but there was nothing he could do.

[ I was wandering in the sky as well as keeping tabs on Minya. You would not believe what I witnessed today....]

Noworry was in the midst of his talk when Severus interrupted. "Since I believe in you, then I can believe in anything."

[.....]

Noworry was speechless.

Was it a compliment?

or

A blatant insult?

Since he was short in time, he did not make a fuss over it.
