The Queen Wicked Deeds - Chapter 63
“Flour… milk, then some eggs,” Victor was on a raging spree of preparing almost one hundred delicious chocolate truffle cakes. The favorites of some red-eyed girl. The beautiful Moira.
“The oven is ready,” he counted three cakes on the table already decorated with strawberries and berries and even chocolate flowers. They looked full of love, though, the form of some of them depicted a broken heart with the strawberries as the blood coming from it.
Chef Hugo didn’t know what to tell his dear disciple, even when he gave him the book that he dėsɨrėd so much, the reaction was not what he wanted.
“Dear disciple,” he said and gave him a pat in the shoulder about to make him fall from the power. “Wake up and go on, there is a lot of fish in the ocean, look at it as a chance to better yourself, you can focus on your studies and become a great chef, I can even introduce you to some beautiful students from the Butlers’ course, you may know Tia, right? She is already in that course, you can ask her about the young girls there. They all admire you.”
“…” the young boy kept doing his share of cakes without giving attention to anything nor anyone. Though, it seemed that the rumor about his broken heart had traveled the school, and he had attracted unwanted attention. Though, it may have been because of the batch of cakes his spree of rejected guy had created. The ‘News with tarts’ had broadcasted it. How did they know? That was a mystery many wanted to unravel.
Now, the ones watching the poor Victor were sighing and singing a lovely song of a pitiful man that was sent to the friend zone.
“You are in the friendzone now… sorry but there is no way out…”1
The little girls were even making some dance moves and brought the piano with them. The roses’ effects and the choir were going to the high note.
“Get out from here!”
The choir group of girls that were attracted to the kitchen because of the delicious smell was now sent flying out from the doors with the magical powers of Victor. However, they didn’t even complain because he looked so pitiful, handsomely pitiful with his bright red hair and his green eyes. Sigh… the number of pictures of him on the forum with the tag ‘I am friend zoned, I need some comfort,’ was enough to fill a line in his residence. All those girls wanted their opportunity.
“Sigh…” he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the cake with two strawberries looking like red eyes in the center of it. They reminded him of Moira again. Everything reminded him of her. Even the night sky, the window, the cats, the cakes, the swords. He was surrounded.
However, he knew that there was no way for him to fight back. Moira was someone that never changed her choices once she decided, and she had thoughtfully captured James’ heart. It will be a useless fight, though, he didn’t mind trying.
“That idiot,” he gripped his hand and was now on the floor looking outside to the moon. “Idiot James!” he wanted to punch that face that was once the same as him but for another girl. His friend and Moira’s Master.
Still, his heart wasn’t letting him continue with his usual life, so he prepared the many cakes they asked for, he didn’t mind at all his tired body. He felt so much pain in his heart and the exhausting work made him forget. He needed space and a distraction to not become overwhelmed and transform into a wizard-like Druon. There was a growing fear that the wizard will hear about his situation and try to give some bad advice. He better talk with Assistant Vin before anything happen.
Then as he was still looking at the night and the stars, something strange passed the window.
Something that for sure will distract him from his pain.
“Hey stop right there!”
The voice of Master Druon echoed in the night. Then a big shadow of a black cat reflected the lake on the side of the Academy’s castle. It was enormous as if Shadow had eaten some growing pill and was terrorizing the little students that were running around shouting.
“Blackie, come here!” The gigantic cat had decided to be free for the night and go on a journey to visit her new friend. Gandalf. It seemed that he was waiting for her to come to the residence of the girls.
Victor was left with his mouth wide open as the stupid wizard was following the big cat on his flying cloud.
Then right after the strange scene passed. The sky clouded as if it was some spell, and it was. Then two figures of the new students of the first year appeared on top of the lake as if they were walking on it. Mellie and Lily were looking at each other’s eyes as they were starting to battle.
One had this big and sharp black reaper’s scythe and the other one, the cute Lily had a white long sword.
“You stop it, right now!”
Mellie shouted in a strange deep voice not going along with his delicate body and cute face.
“No! I will win this time!”
Lily shouted and started the attack, it was an incredible battle, and to be able to witness it, Victor was in awe. Though he was still remembering those red eyes he liked so much. Mellie had the same eyes as her, and shadow was also part of the entourage a few minutes before.
Everything reminded him of her.
Then… as he was drowning in depression, the sky screamed with thunders and flashes of lightning. The battle was going on a difficult path and the two contenders were not backing out.
“Stop it, Mellie!”
“Stop it, Lily!”
Two girls, two princesses, one with red hair, the other with black hair, one with golden eyes, the other with bright blue eyes. One with a mischievous face, the other with a serious look. However, the two of them princesses of their own Kingdom.
Now Victor was looking with fine detail at what was about to happen. The two girls were dresses in opposite colors, Anne with her white goddess dress and silver mask, Morgan in a black dress, and her black-rimmed lenses.
“Princess Anne,” Morgan bowed respectfully as any other elegant lady.
Anne nodded and bowed too, “Princess Morgan.”
Then as the two looked at each other and the students started to gather around, even the two impressive students with red eyes stopped their banter. Victor now had a piece of the chocolate cake to see what was about to happen. The ambiance seemed to be frozen.
Henry had arrived and surprisingly, Collin too. He was on behind Princess Morgan.
Then as if nothing had happened before, the little girl, Lily came to take Morgan’s hand and dragged from there. It was difficult to understand what had happened but if someone were to look closer, the eyes of Princess Morgan were about to become red from anger.
“Are you okay, Anne?”
The little Princess from Mitria Country tried to hypnotize Anne to jump into the lake. However, the mask on Anne’s face was enough to reflect that power and sent it back to the little princess. Now she was having intense thoughts of jumping and is bȧrėly restrain them.
“What was that?” Henry asked concerned.
Anne smiled at her handsome fiancé. However, she didn’t say a word. It would be too difficult to explain, and she didn’t want to stop the next stage of the plan. It was a difficult part, so nothing could go out of line.
“Let’s go,” she took his hand, and they walked back to the venue that was now under repair as a raging monster had escaped his crystal cage.
A few minutes ago…
The infatuated Ilian was about to approach the beautiful lips of Rose, however, something happened. The scenario started to tremble down his feet and the tiles erupted one by one.
“What is going on?!”
The girls of the choir had stopped singing and were looking to the front where the glass prison was almost breaking from the strength of the man inside.
“Don’t let him out!”
The King of Lith stood up with his hand raised and a group of knights with black uniforms appeared and contained the cage. However, the ambiance, the spell, and the magic were fading and with them the courage of the Prince of Lith. His reddening face and the shaking of his legs were not a good sign.
“Don’t let him escape!”
The King of Lith signaled to his knights again but this time to surround the Crown Prince. Yes… then this is a part of a song that I somehow ended up listening to… Friendzone by GOAT.
