Chapter 13: Deception (Part 1)
At Feisha's stubborn refusal to drink his creation, Gin finally gave in and poured hiently swished the liquid in his hand, the crisp clinking of ice on glass lulling him into a state of content drowsiness
”Don't fall asleep here,” warned Gin, polishi+ng a wine glass
Feisha yawned ”Then tell me a story”
The handcircular movements paused momentarily ”As a member of the noble blood clan, how could you askmaid at your beck and call”
Feisha let out another yawn, his head lowering further
”Will you sober up if I put a knife on the table?”
”Depends on how you put it”
Gin offhandedly drew one out of a drawer and set it on the table Feisha's face continued in its path, nearly touching the blade At this, the hand on the knife handle gave a twist, flipping the blade
Light gleae
Feisha pulled back with a startle, shakily rubbing at his face ”I know you're jealous of my beauty, but I didn't think you were this jealous”
”Are you i that I should just throw this knife at you instead?”
A cough ”No, I' as well”
Gin hung the glass up on the rack and reached for the blade-
”Girls of the blood clan are beautiful as a river, boys of the blood clan are strong as ahis voice Please refer to [The Girl from Ali Mountain] for the tune
Gin was uniay”
”…Boys of the invisible folk are beautiful as a river, boys of the blood clan are strong as a mountain…” amended Feisha
There was a pause
Gin placed the knife back into the drawer, sighing, ”What story do you want?”
”Do you know The Frog Prince?”
”…I do”
”I want to listen to Snow White”
”…I don't know that one”
”Then why don't you tell me about the story between you and Dea?”
Gin rolled his eyes so hard it must've hurt ”What's there to tell?”
Before Feisha could open his lass of wine and knocked it back in one go ”Dea ca here”
”Out of all the races, only angels and faeries have beauty equivalent to that of the noble blood clan,” Gin said proudly
You don't say; the leftover races are all stuff like titans, dwarfs and humans And as for humans, physical appearance varies tootheir overall attractiveness as a race hard to determine
”But Dea was truly the best-looking out of all the faeries I have everblood clan, how could I let a chance at romance just slip past me like that? So on the second day, I announced my deep and passionate intentions with ninety-nine roses”
”Did he beat you up?”
Gin glared at hi the charm we of the blood clan possess… He just smashed the bouquet back at my face”
”Smart Wouldn't want to waste your weapons so early on”
”I eable and intelligent blood clan You knew that roses were safer to give than diamonds”
Gin ignored hilass of wine After finishi+ng the second glass, he continued: ”You know, faeries all tend to be shy and reserved Even if the flame of love inside their heart has nearly burned them down to ashes, they still refuse to show it on the surface”
”Dea was like that?”
”Er, his circumstances were a little but different In reality, he came here to hide from the influences of a love spell But I didn't know that until after”
At this, Feisha perked up ”Love spell?”
”It's a very high-levelled spell The castor has to be of the same level as me at least”
”What level are you?” It suddenly occurred to Feisha that while he knew everyone's na about their backstories
”Are you sure you'll understand if I told you?” asked Gin, raising an eyebrow
”Actually- Just keep going with the story”
”It's a love spell that consumes the subject with lust towards anyone who tries to pursue theradually towards the end After all, this wasn't an experience to be proud of
…Feisha finally understood why Dea dated Gin for three days
The sound of so knocked over came from behind the on its side
”Hughes!” Gin maniacally shot past Feisha and down the hallway
The room was silent
Feisha realised that he…probably did so bad…
———————————-
Despite arriving back in his room, Feisha still felt very, very uneasy If he hadn't insisted on listening to a story, Gin wouldn't have told him about that period in his life If he hadn't told Feisha about that period in his life, Hughes wouldn't have found out about him and Dea…
The ht about it, the closer that knife in Gin's drawer felt to his throat
…Maybe it's best that he hid so out a few sets of clean clothes and rushed up the stairs
It can't be Layton, because Feisha had just screith hi
It can't be Dea either, because even if Dea agrees Feisha hi fuel to the fire if Gin finds out
Antonio… Feisha gets a strong urge to bolt whenever the rabies thing comes to mind
Asa's great and all, but his snores make Feisha want to kill hiht and fell over in fright when the sound of a bulldozer came from behind the door
