Trapped In Hisstory - Chapter 187

“W-what are you suddenly-”

“Shh, it is fine. There is no one here yet. See? No servants around.” he said and pointed to their surroundings, nothing but the plants, flowers, and pathway is around that might see them together.

“But even so, inform me first if you are going to do that!”

Chance’s tone made it sound like he was mad but Caliber flashed a grin and went closer towards him, “Why? So you would be less flustered?” he asked in a whisper.

Chance pushed him, “You already know that but you are still teasing me!”

The Canopus prince laughed at his reaction, “Well, what are you going to do? Punch me?”

Chance scoffed as the aura of confidence seemed to have enveloped Caliber’s entirety, “You must think I won’t do it, huh?” the Crown Prince uttered, putting a smirk on Caliber’s face.

“Can you?”

“I can. I can punch you right now if you wish.”

“Oho?” Caliber intertwined his fingers on Chance’s and tightened his grip on them, “Can you punch me if I am holding your hand?”

He bent his head towards his right hand and returned his gaze to Caliber, “I still have my other hand, Sir.” Chance said and his giggle was cut off when Caliber suddenly went behind him, grabbing both of his hands. He made sure the Crown Prince will be unable to raise them, but now they are in an awkward position…

“Caliber! Let go of me!” Chance tried to act mad and serious but he could not help himself whenever he wanted to smile, he immediately goes weak when it is Caliber, the man he loves.

Perhaps the joy of being able to tell someone about their relationship wouldn’t leave his heart.

“No,” Caliber uttered firmly, the expression on his face turned serious. Even though Chance was in front and cannot see his face, he could tell from his voice. “I will never…let you go, Charles,” he repeated.

Chance slowly turned his head to look at the prince behind him who was gazing with eyes full of affection. There seemed to be some kind of magnet pulling them closer to each other just by one glance. The two of them stared into their jewel-like eyes, it was enough for them to communicate how much they love each other.

Alec knew where this was going and he looked away. He did say he’d watch the two of them, but not in this kind of moment of intimacy. He averted his gaze and watched the surroundings in case there were other people around that might see the two princes.

The Canopus Prince looked at the lower part of Chance’s face before returning his gaze to the entirety of the Crown Prince’s face. Caliber did not think twice to lunge at his lips at the moment he saw the permission in Chance’s sapphire eyes. Their lips pressed together, Caliber’s left arm let go of the Crown Prince’s hand so he could put his palm onto his cheek, holding his face as he kissed him even deeper.

Chance responded to the kiss and after a little while, Caliber groaned when he felt his lover’s fist on his stomach. Chance smirked, “Your fault for letting my hand go.”

Caliber does not know why he found Chance’s smirk cute, but hell it was quite a strong punch. “Now let us continue…”

“Stop it, Alec is here!” Chance whispered, causing the Canopus Prince to pout. “This is not about him,” he answered back.

Chance flicked his finger on Caliber’s forehead and the Canopus Prince laughed at him teasingly but it faded and he frowned for a short moment as he looked to the side. He put on a smile again and held Chance’s hand again.

They started walking again with Chance anxiously checking the surroundings. The Valorian knight followed them from behind, doing the same thing. They have to be cautious, one mistake can expose them. Once that happens, imagine the chaos it would cause.

But Caliber kept acting like it did not matter. Chance appreciates the fact that Caliber loves him to the point that he does not care what others think, but still, it is a careless act. They both could lose each other.

Alec suddenly went in between the two princes, separating them from each other. Chance looked confused while the Canopus prince glared at the knight for his rude behavior. He was about to complain when a servant suddenly appeared.

The servant’s eyes widened upon seeing the two princes and the commander. He recovered from the surprise and immediately bowed his head with his hand in their direction, the usual greeting. “Blessings from the Goddess.”

“Raise your head.” Chance ordered and the servant obeyed him at once.

He glanced at the Crown Prince and the Commander. As Alec met his gaze, he saw a hint of hesitation and the servant looked back where he came from before nodding his head and walking away.

Alec had an idea what that gaze meant but he doubts that the Crown Prince noticed it. They continued walking while Alec glanced at the place they were getting near to and observed Chance, “He does not seem to mind.”

~~~~~

The Crown Prince fell silent and he lowered his head, hesitating to answer. But he raised his gaze back to Prince Clayton again, “I…”

“I lost my memories.”

~~~~~

Alec remembered what his master confessed earlier. It was not his intention to listen to their conversation, but the moment he heard those words, everything seemed to match. The possibility of him telling the truth is high, and him losing his memories explained his suspicious and odd behavior ever since the day they left the inn.

Now he finally knows why his master was always confused, like not knowing simple things he always used to do. But for some reason, he still feels that there is something wrong. He cannot put his finger on it, but the words of the Crown Prince seemed to be in a tug of war of lies and truth.

They were all at the garden in the back of the palace, the whole place outside the manor looked as if its plants were always taken care of, every place seemed like a garden. It was not a surprise, since it is a palace after all.

Something caught Chance’s eyes and he stared at the corner. If he continued walking, he would not have noticed it because of the plants covering it. It was a wooden door so it blended with the background but Chance was sure of it.

“What is it that you are staring at?” Caliber asked and looked in the same direction.

“I did not know there was a door to another garden,” he said to Alec while not averting his gaze away from the door as he slowly approached it.

He noticed it, Alec thought. “That…” the Commander muttered. “That is not a garden.”

Chance turned his head to Alec and they stared at each other. Curiosity took over once again and the Crown Prince swung the door open.

He did not expect what his eyes saw before him. It was a big glass house surrounded by nature. It was enclosed as if the place was really intended to be hidden. Alec remained silent, if the King found out that his son visited this place, he might throw a fit.

What he was worried about was the Second Prince, Clayton. Normally, he would be the one to be furious if his brother was in this place, but seeing how they somewhat made up, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

The Crown Prince’s eyes wandered around the place and inside the glasshouse, he saw a familiar lady lying on the bed. His eyes widened when he finally recognized her.

“The Royal Concubine, Melanie?”
