Chapter 3:
For some time, both Chris and Borus remained silent as they stared at the vast horizon by the port. By then, Borus had turned to an intense shade of scarlet as he noticed how close he was to the lady, and besides that, he also noticed the woman's soft lips partially open, her delicate features wandering into space.
Borus gulped as a thousand thoughts rushed to his head, maybe a kiss would make the lady go back to her normal self.
"Argh. Damn Percival's horniness is getting to me!!!!" Borus mumbled, blushing hard as he tried to put himself back together.
"bu-but---"
The blonde swallowed hard as he extended an arm, to try and drape over Chris's shoulder, maybe-just maybe, he'd be able to comfort her in that manner. At least it was worth to try
"La-Lady Chris----?" he said softly, hesitating for a moment but even before his hand touched the woman's lustrous hair a male voice interrupted making the knight pull back from his rather embarrassing attempt.
"Ehhhh? So Lady Chris is going out with the proud, obnoxious knight!" the voice exclaimed as Chris glanced at the new comer, smiling, she welcomed her friend with a hug.
"What the!!! Damn you little ruffian, get your filthy hands of her!!!" Borus retaliated, furiously, gritting his teeth and clenching his sword hilt
Chris pulled away and wavered her hand signaling Borus to stop his impudent act, "What brings you here Hugo, of Karaya clan?" she asks formally as the blonde knight growled behind her
"well...um..." he mumbled, scratching his head ruefully
"If you came here simply to mumble, then might as well you leave!!!!" the knight exclaimed coldly.
"What the hell is with you!!! Besides if I hadn't shown up, you might have done something to Chris!!!"
The knight blushed, deep crimson "Why you little-why wo-would I do something to harm milady!!!"
"Not harm, I mean you were trying to kiss her!!!! Admit it!!" Hugo replied coolly, aware of his advantage. He did after all caught him in the act.
"I did not!!!! Stupid runt, what is your business here anyways!?" he exclaimed changing the topic, avoiding eye contact from Chris who was somewhat glaring at him, questioningly
"Anyways, you were saying?" Chris resumed as the boy took a deep breath.
"Um, well...can I ask you a favor Chris?" Hugo asked sheepishly
"As long as I can handle it. So what is this favor of yours?"
The boy took a deep breath, closing his eyes he suddenly blurted out "CanYouPleasePretendToBeMyBride" he said so fast it was barely understandable.
"Um, pardon? Can you kindly repeat that---a bit slower this time" Chris said, raising a brow as Borus glared at the Karayan boy, suspiciousy.
Hugo sighed as he took a deep breath "Would...you...pretend...to----" he mumbled turning beet red,
"Seriously, as the next leader, you're pretty incomprehensive!! quack" another voice came from behind them.
"Sergeant!!!" Hugo jumped in surprise "Well, I was just about to tell---"
"(Wonderful. Another of his kind to ruin my day)" Borus mumbled, smacking his forehead with the palm of his hand.
"Enough with this silly crap! Say what you have to say. The faster we finish the sooner you ruffians can leave!" Borus exclaimed, furiously
"Oh, I didn't notice the abhorrent Iron head till now!" the duck mocked, glaring at him
"What--!? You want me to roast you!!! Better yet feed you to those ravaging monsters!!"
"Quack!!! I'll take you on anytime!"
"Sergeant!"
"Borus" both Hugo and Chris exclaimed, scolding their cohorts.
"Sergeant we're here to discuss important matters with lady Chris. It's not the time to be picking a fight!" Hugo explained
As for the knight "I know your worried about me, but please, I'm sure Hugo and the sergeant has something important to say, after all they did bother going all the way here, to Venay del Zexay just to meet with us!" Chris said her voice soft and compassionate making the blonde blush even harder as he reluctantly nodded in reply.
Chris smiled and turned her attention back to Hugo "So?"
"Well-"
The sergeant looked at the boy impudently "Hugo wants to ask if you can pretend to be his bride!" the duck divulged out much to everyone's surprise.
"Whhaaaa!!!!!!!" Borus exclaimed, as Chris was speechless.
"Duck, do you really want to be roasted and eaten? How dare you-"
"Shut up iron head, if Chris won't pretend to be Hugo, the next leader's bride then that noisy girl, whatever her name is-"
"Lilly" Hugo corrected
"Ya, that's right, that obnoxious girl will!!!!"
"Lilly? What does she have to do with it, most importantly why me?"
"That's right why her!!!??? Isn't that girl enough!!!!" Borus exclaimed
"Um, Lilly, well sh-she wants to be my mate, be-because she wants to be the ruler of Karaya, so-something like that, you know to expand her army" Hugo explained
"A-and, the reason I chose you is because I-I-I-I-I like you!!!!!" he continued on, blushing
Borus froze, his cheeks crimson, "damn you little barbarian!" he exclaimed; now drawing his sword from its hilt.
But even before he arched the weapon at the boy's head
"Sure, I'll do it" came the melancholic reply of the female knight, stopping the him from killing the boy. Borus stared at Chris impassively,is she actually serious?
"Whaaa!? Bu-but----" the blonde started to protest
"But, only pretend--!" she cleared out, "(and I'm not so sure about the "like" thing either) she thought, though this time she kept in to herself and only herself.
Borus glared at the Karayan boy as he on the other hand grinned innocently back at him Victory was abide the Karayan boy as he won Chris over the Zexen...for now that is. "Thanks Chris!" Hugo uttered as the female only nodded, the blonde grimacing.
"By the way Hugo, is it fine if the knights join us?" Chris brought out the subject
"Of course, the 6 Zexen knights are all welcomed within grasslands, to mention that it would even be an honor"
"Ya even if you take the obnoxious one!" the sergeant added sarcastically, only to receive a death glare from the man.
"So we might as well confirm this to Salome and the others" Chris informed as her companions nodded.
Borus still uncertain, followed reluctantly
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
That evening, the 2 grasslanders along with the Zexen knights, all except Percival met in the hall.
"Huh? Isn't there 6 knights?" Hugo asked
"??? That's right quack Lets see, Lady Chris is here, the obnoxious iron headed fool, the colossal drunkard, the elf and the old guy...Though I'm sure the boy isn't included" Sergeant. Joe said
"Duck, you are so gonna pay! Be thankful, Lady Chris is around!!!" Borus exclaimed, clenching his fists
"Colossal drunkard?" Leo said scratching his head, ruefully
"I don't mind being called an elf, I am one after all" Roland mumbled in a corner, in his usual calmness.
"Old man!? Why does everyone think I'm so old!?"
"Aren't you, Lord Salome?" Louis added ingenuously making Chris chuckle.
After some time of examining "That's right the knight who always glues his hair is missing!" the duck concluded.
"Glues? Um, Lord Percival gels his hair often but I never knew he 'glues' it..." Louis thought naively
"Um, will he be coming?" Hugo asked
"Unfortunately, he can't Percival went to Iksay to spend some time off" Chris informed, frowning as the duck realized her sudden change of expression
"Too bad, he's the most decent compared to all your other cohorts!"
Chris giggled "Anyways, It would be best to explain the details to us now, Hugo" she said melancholically
" Well---you see..." the boy started
The evening ended with the long conversation. By Night they decided to settle, Hugo and Sergeant Joe, to spend the night in Chris's abode much to a certain blonde's dismay.
"Damn Ruffians!!!! Better not lay a hand on 'my' Lady Chris!!!!!!!"
