~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account ??

Chapter 12:

'Let's think this over. What spoilers did I hear about this event from Maki?' I brought my hand up to my lower lip with a thoughtful expression on my face when the realization hit me.

"That's right! Avis didn't go to the ball at the last minute for some reason in the game!" I exclaimed as my fist hit my palm in realization.

Ardeat was already used to this kind of comments and outburst so she simply focused on carefully putting the gown I had just made away in a safe place.

But Maki had never told me the reason to why he didn't attend. And I just never cared enough to ask. Which you were now realizing was a huge mistake.

The saying "curiosity kills the cat" misled me! Now I was going to die because I wasn't curious enough! If Avis, Anartis's best friend had gone with me then Anartis would've held himself back a little more!

My whole plan was to act as a lovesick puppy and chase Anartis around everywhere with my own crazy, creepy, unnecessary over-the-top shenanigans and become the madwoman of the century!

And the only reason I thought I'd be able to carry this plan through was because I expected Anartis to hold his anger back and act with patience every time I did some shit I knew he didn't like!

At least for Avis's sake!

But now, if Avis wasn't going to be at the ball... There would be no one to hold Anartis back! He might really end up ditching me to hell!

"NO!! I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" I slammed my hands on the desk as I shot up from my seat before bolting right past Ardeat and out of my room.

I immediately made my way towards Avis's room. Though I had never asked for the reason, since Avis was a knight the most likely reason why he wasn't able to attend would be because of an injury he could have sustained during practice.

So I was going to make him pause his training for a week! And since Avis had a commitment issue, I'd probably have to force him to get back to practice after. A small price to pay in return for my life.

He probably hadn't gotten the injury yet since it was announced that he wouldn't be attending at the last minute. So that was a bit of a reassurance.

"Avis Divinus! Stop your training!" I barged into Avis's room, who had his back turned to me at the moment, and then shrieked like a little rat and jumped back the next.

This guy was really making me question if he was really a knight or not. But that's not what matters right now.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Avis yelled the next moment finally turning to face me, now it was my turn to screech, I was so shocked I even sounded like Teehee.

So much so that Vidoro came running over the next moment just as Ardeat had also arrived thinking that it was time for his training. He was much stronger and faster than he used to be now.

Courtesy of Teehee and the training.

"I swear I wasn't trying to ditch! I thought the torture- I mean, training began in the afternoon!" Vidoro spoke up to defend himself but I couldn't care less right now.

"What happened to your face?!" I dashed over to Avis in the blink of an eye, smushing his cheeks with my hands as I examined the damage done on his face.

"WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOU'VE BEEN ROLLING IN MUD AND SHIT?!!" I immediately pulled my hands away from his face shuddering in disgust at the condition his pores were in.

"ARDEAT! BRING MY CLEANSER AND DEEP PORE CLEANER SCRUB OVER RIGHT NOW!" I demanded dragging Avis over to the bathroom, first to wash my hands, and second to wash his face.
