Trapped In Hisstory

The Crown Prince sighed, it was a bad idea to pull Caliber into bed again, now they might get late and be scolded for their tardiness. He cannot feel any more energy from his body and cannot even put on his own clothes, 'Haaa...I am so tired.' he thought.

He glared at the one at fault for his fatigue but his eyes softened from looking at his face, how could this man in front of him be so gorgeous, he thought. He put his hand on his face and lifted it up for him to see clearly, 'Hmm, should I hit him lightly and pretend I am mad, just this once?' he thought. He shook his head to get the idea away, 'I can't do it. Besides, I am the one who pulled him. I am to blame.'

He felt something warm in his hand and saw Caliber holding the hand that he placed on his cheek, "What could the Crown Prince be thinking of while staring at my face?" he asked and gave him a teasing smile.

Chance slowly looked away, he knew that kind of look, "It is...nothing."

Caliber let out a snort, "I know I am so handsome that it is hard for you to not look, but do not be so obvious…" he said and acted all shy, making Chance speechless. 'So confident as always.' Chance thought.

Chance sighed and grabbed both of the Second Prince's hands to stop him from dressing him up, "Rather than taking care of my clothes, why don't you dress yourself as well." Chance said.

Caliber smiled at him and continued on fixing the Crown Prince's clothes despite what he said, "But I want to do this, you do not even have the energy to put on your clothes."

Chance blushed and backed away from the Second Prince to fix his clothes on his own, "See, I can do it. Now hurry and dress up." he said.

"Do not worry. I can even have breakfast with the King while naked." 

If Chance was drinking right now, he could have spat it all out on his face. He was speechless by the Second Prince's words, having the urge to facepalm. 'How could you say that without being embarrassed…' Chance thought.

The Crown Prince laughed, "I would like to see if you are brave enough to do that." he said and tried to dare Caliber to actually do it.

The Second Prince of Canopus pulled Chance closer to him, "I might do it, I do not care. But...are you sure you are all right with that?" he said in a whisper.

"All right with what?"

Caliber smirked, "Are you sure you are all right for others to see my body?"

Chance's face reddened and he went silent because of his question, "You did say I am yours, so even my whole...body is yours only." Caliber continued and kissed the side of his face until it reached his ears.

Chance knew where this was going and immediately grabbed his face to push it away from him, "You are really not going to stop, are you? Give me some rest!" he exclaimed and grabbed Caliber's clothes, throwing them to the Second Prince.

Caliber caught it and he laughed at the Crown Prince's reaction. Even his flustered expression was cute in his eyes.

Chance and Caliber hurriedly put on their clothes and fixed their appearances since they will be eating at the same table of the Kings of their kingdom. As soon as they were done, Caliber extended his hand to the Crown Prince, Chance smiled and placed his hand on top of his. Caliber took it near his lips and kissed it, "Well then, shall we go, my prince?"

Chance chuckled and nodded his head with a slight blush on his cheeks, even though Caliber always calls him 'My Prince' his heart still kept beating fast as if it was going to come out of his chest, 'When am I going to get used to that.' he thought.

They walked towards the door hand in hand, "It is time to let go, someone might see." Chance said.

"It is just our personal aides, I can hold you a little longer." Caliber said and opened the door of the Crown Prince's room.

But it was not only their aides. They let go of each other and for a moment they were almost caught. 'W-why is Tristan here?' Chance thought.

Caliber stared at the man sitting on the ground outside the chamber, "Who is this man?" he asked and glared at the Antares knight. The Crown Prince touched Caliber on the back to calm him and laughed awkwardly, "Ah, this is one of the knights I was with back in Canopus." he said.

The Crown Prince bowed his head slightly to the knight to give his apology, "Forgive me, it was wrong of me to not think of you. We left you all alone in the Kingdom of Canopus." he said and Tristan could feel how sincere the Crown Prince was to him.

As if he could be mad at the Crown Prince with that kind of sincerity, he thought. "I-I sulked at first, but it was all right. Your Highness did not do it on purpose, you just forgot," he said.

Chance had a bright smile on his face upon hearing that the knight forgave him so easily even though it was almost a month since he was in Canopus. "Thank you, Sir Tristan."

'Eh?' Tristan was a bit surprised, the Crown Prince had changed. Was this the effect of being friends with the people from the neighboring kingdom? "Y-your Highness does not need to call me Sir. I am too low compared to Your Highness." he said shyly.

"Oh, all right, Tristan." 

Chance held his hand out to the knight, "You should get up from the floor, Tristan." he said, offering his hand to help the knight out.

Before Tristan could even reach for his hand, Caliber put the Crown Prince's hand down and Alec was the one to pull the Antares knight up.

Sherin and Niro looked at each other and sighed, finding the scene funny. The other prince and the knight preventing another man from touching the Crown Prince, "What is the use of us here, if they are doing our job…" Niro whispered, both aides staring at them blankly.

Tristan started to sweat from the heavy air around him, and the glares that kept piercing him, 'I feel like my life is in danger.' he thought. 'Wh-what did I do wrong…" he cried inside his mind. 

Caliber gave Chance a glance that the Crown Prince immediately understood. Chance stifled a laugh, enjoying Caliber's expression. 

"His Majesty must be waiting. Crown Prince, Second Prince, let us go now." Niro said and they nodded.

They all started walking with the two princes in front and the aides falling behind. Caliber quickened his pace and Chance had the urge to match his speed, leaving the aides even farther behind. "I think you know very well that I am a jealous lover." he said, knowing that the Antares knight would not hear him.

Chance held back his smile and glanced at the Second Prince's face. His smile went away after seeing Caliber's serious expression, "Do not enjoy it too much." he said and looked at the Crown Prince with a smirk, "Even I do not know what I might do when I am jealous." 

Caliber returned his gaze to the front and left Chance having no words to say, with his face heating up, 'That was dangerous…' he thought, having an idea of what the Second Prince of Canopus meant.

Behind them, Alec has been shooting glances at the knight under his command and it was making Tristan uncomfortable, 'What is wrong with Captain?' he thought but he decided to ignore it for a while.

Even from before, Tristan noticed him staring at him then averting his gaze away once Tristan asked him what was wrong. Despite Alec being intelligent, he always trusts his guts. He know how stupid Tristan was, especially since he was with him when he chose which knights to join the First Squad of the Knights of Antares. But there is something he feels coming from him. He cannot help but doubt him.

"I read plenty of things about you in Canopus, Charles. You seemed to have enjoyed your stay."

At first, Alec knew why the King suddenly left another knight with them during their stay in Canopus. From the start, he knew that Tristan was assigned to spy on the Crown Prince. But Tristan was always ignorant of whatever was happening and Niro even locked him up in a building. There were no ways he could spy on the Crown Prince then report to the king.

Was there another spy? Alec thought.

That was the most possible reason, but the question was, who is it?

"Niro Navarrus." Alec called out to the aide and the hawk turned to him.

"Hm? What is wrong?"
