Trapped In Hisstory

"Are you going to go already?" Caliber asked as Chance got off the bed while Caliber was still lying down, covered in the sheets as he gazed at the Crown Prince.

Caliber moved lazily and caught Chance's hand, "Are you not tired? Come lay down and rest a bit more." he said and gave the back of his hand a peck.

Chance glared at him, "Whose fault is it that I am tired?" he asked and even when Caliber's eyes were half open, he could still imagine the Crown Prince glaring at him and he grinned, "Please forgive this poor one, my prince." 

Caliber was stronger than him so it took the Canopus Prince no effort to pull him back to sit on the bed, "Stay a bit more longer, Your Highness." he begged.

"Ah, so you are only going to call me with respect when you want something to happen?" Chance said and shook his head side to side. 

"You know me well now. Now come here and stay." Caliber still insisted.

"No, we are here for too long now. What if someone suddenly comes to see me?" Chance said, "It would be quite a sight to see us both naked in my chamber." he added and put his hand on his head.

"If that happens, then do not open the door. You are tired so you should rest a bit more." he still continued to let him stay in the room.

Chance slapped him on the face but not too hard, just enough for him to wake up and get his sleepiness away. "If I stay here with you, who knows when I will get out of bed?" he said and sighed, "You are the one who does not know how to rest, just how many times are you going to do it?" he scolded and Caliber immediately sat up and lowered his head as if he was listening to his master.

"Now, are you going to stay in bed or are you going to get up?" Chance asked while staring at the Canopus Prince who was sitting properly on his knees on the bed.

"I will get up and fix myself now." Caliber said, being obedient to his lover.

Chance kept up his serious face but he wanted to laugh at Caliber. A little scolding from him was enough to get him to obey. "Good," Chance said and was about to walk over to the wardrobe but he felt Caliber's stare, "Caliber!' 

Caliber looked at him, "What is it?"

"Stop staring!" the Crown Prince exclaimed.

Caliber chuckled. There was nothing wrong with him staring at his body, "I always see it anyways, what is there to be embarrassed about?" he asked, teasing the shy prince even more than he already was.

"Even so!" 

Caliber also started to get ready so he will not be scolded by being on the bed for too long. He got off the bed as well but when he looked at the Crown Prince, the corner of his lips lifted into a smirk, "For someone who said not to stare, aren't you quite feasting on what is before you?"

Chance was flustered and he immediately looked away to not let the Canopus Prince see his flushed face. "I-I am not looking at it!" he exclaimed.

"No need to be shy, you already saw it many times today." Caliber said, about to approach him.

Chance was about to lose his mind as he cannot take his eyes away from 'his thing'. He raised his hand, trying to prevent the Canopus Prince from taking another step closer to him, "Get away! Seriously, I will get mad!" he exclaimed but he probably looked like a fool, threatening him while his face was red.

He ran to the wardrobe and closed the door so Caliber would not be able to go inside with him, knowing fully well about what might happen if he did. He put both of his hands on his face, trying to calm himself down. "I cannot believe this. A-am I actually addicted..?" he whispered to himself.

"Pure thoughts, pure thoughts. I came here to live King Charles's life and die! Why am I spending the day with my lover in bed." he said to himself, embarrassed whenever the scenes replay in his head.

He shook the thoughts off his mind, "Well, why not? If I am going to die, then I might as well do what I want!" he yelled but enough for only him to hear.

He looked at the clothes in his wardrobe and he almost went dizzy by the amount of clothes inside. Back in his time, he would just grab a plain white shirt and some pants, then take his jacket and go out. Simple and less hassle.

Most of the time, it was his knight, or should he say, 'best friend' was the one who chooses what he will wear. It was not like they could call Tailor Linda to come over just to prepare his clothes.

He just went to take a white shirt and grabbed a white cravat. He chose another royal blue shirt and wore it underneath which can only be seen at the collar. Then he wore trousers of a very dark shade which becomes slightly reddish in light, with a midnight blue belt, clasped with a gold buckle.

"I guess this is enough. Casual attire of a prince." he muttered and went out of his wardrobe.

He prepared himself just in case Caliber was not dressed up yet, but to his dismay, he was already dressed from head to foot. 'W-wait, what dismay??' he thought, 'I am not disappointed at all!'

Caliber looked at him and smiled, "What is wrong? Were you expecting something?"

"No." Chance answered with a serious expression.

"Niro, stay here. You, come with me."

Chance sat down on the sofa as he remembered what he heard outside. He was still curious as to why the royal aide of the Second Prince of Canopus would call Alec. 'From what I could recall, they were not in a relationship where they got along well.' he thought.

He was worried that they would fight, just like that time at the secret garden in Venus Wing. "Caliber, did Sherin ever mention to you about what she thinks of my knight?" he asked.

Caliber looked up and thought about it, "Nothing of the sort. Why?" he responded and looked at him in confusion.

"Earlier, I overheard Sherin asking Alec to come with her. Looks like they have something serious to talk about." Chance said.

"Ah, so that is what you were thinking of even though I am the one you came to see." Caliber said.

"You are still not over that?" Chance said and let out a chuckle.

"Anyway, just let them be. Whatever they talk about is not our business." 

"I guess so, I should not stick my nose in it."

Caliber approached him, "I have always been curious about something. How did you meet your knight, Alec Valorian?" he asked and stared directly into the Crown Prince's eyes, waiting for him to answer.

Chance felt like his head was blocked and he could not come up with an answer. He almost told him that he woke up and met him after being chased by the men at the inn. Now he was curious as well, 'How did Charles meet Alec?' he thought.

He was thinking of an excuse to avoid his question but they heard a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, the Princess's servant is here for an audience." Alec announced.

Both the princes came towards the door and opened it. Chance saw William and the butler bowed, "My lady would like to invite you to her chamber." he said and Chance nodded, his guess was right, it was a good thing that he and Caliber got off the bed and dressed up.

He stared at William and remembered something.

~~~~~

He sipped the tea and as he looked up, he met the eyes of the butler looking at him. Chance snorted quietly, 'Just before, in front of my chamber, he wouldn't dare to look me in the eye.' The butler realized that the prince caught him looking and bowed his head.

Carmilla tugged her butler's clothes and chatted with him. William smiled while listening to the princess with Chance staring at them. 'I get it.'

The butler noticed the prince's stare, Chance looked at him in the eye, 'You like her, Am I right? You have feelings for my sister.' he said to William using his eyes.

Seeing the smirk on the face of the prince, William immediately understood what he was trying to say. He shook his head and bowed, 'I would not dare do something such as that, Your Highness. You misunderstood me.'

Chance let out a snort and nodded his head, 'Okay, okay.' clearly not a bit convinced.

Princess Carmilla grabbed his brother's arm and clung to it, "Brother, I missed you!"

Chance smiled sweetly at his adorable sister, "I missed you too, Milla. Where were you during my birthday celebration?" he asked.

Princess Carmilla slowly averted her gaze but kept smiling, "I was there, but I had to leave and rest early in my chamber." she answered. What an obvious lie, Chance thought.

Chance looked at William, Carmilla's butler, and he was startled and also looked away. 'Fishy…' he thought and smiled, kind of getting an idea of why his sister left early.

A smile formed in the Crown Prince's face, "William, I want to ask you about something."
