Chapter 50 EIRA'S NIGHT

FIRA'S POV

"Date me."

My eyes widened. I almost slipped the medical kit on my hands. "Huh?"

He turned his back. "I'll tell you when and where."

"What?" I was about to walk forwards, but stepped when he spoke again.

"That's an order."

I did nothing, but to stare at his back. He was walking in the opposite direction as mine.

Date him? What is that for? Is he tripping around?

I bit my lips as I felt that there was an urge for me to smile.

Not bad. My first date would be Pyro. Crap! That's cool!

I walked again in the hallway with a big smile on my lips. I went to King Water's room. I knocked and when it opened I smiled at him.

"Care to treat your back, your majesty?"

He shook his head. The grin formed on his lips. "Someone will come to do that."

"Okay. Shall I go?" I pointed at my back.

"Nope. Come in." He held the medical kit and offered me to sit so I did. He opened the speaker so loud. "Did Pyro tell you about the date?"

I bit my index finger. I think I was blushing due to the igniting feeling on my cheek. "Ahm…" I scratched the peak of my nose. "Yes."

He made the speaker so loud that it caused my ear to rock. The music was 'Beggin' by Maneskin'

"So what's your answer?" He headbang his head in front of me. I did not know that King Water was a rock star with good moves like a professional dancer. I knew that his back was aching because he winced, but he was ignoring that.

"He said...that's an order."

He laughed so hard, that made me look at his features. Honestly, to all of them, Hali had a unique feature, his skin was white and his smile was full of teeth, but a playboy, too like Zephyrus. I saw him many times targeting a woman of the kingdom, but he was not forcing them. The women were smiling like they won the lottery.

"I'll send a dress to your room. That will be your dress for your date. Enjoy!"

"Hehe." I scratched my nape. It was obvious that he was supportive. I just wondered why Pyro was asking me for a date? I mean he can date whoever he wants, not me.

"By the way, is that *sshole your boyfriend?"

"Huh?"

"That miner? His name us Jangle—"

"Janus." I corrected him.

"Whatever. That Jangle does not suit you, Dear. Break up with him."

I kept my mouth closed. I should not say something about why we were pretending to be lovers. I was not comfortable talking about it with King Water.

"Anyway, you can go. You've plenty to do."

I bowed to him. "Thank you for what you did for me, King Water. I appreciate it."

"If you really want to pay me back, just be with Pyro on your date."

"I will."

I went out of the room, I stopped when I saw a woman in front of me. She had no emotion, she was just staring at my face. Then, her eyebrow went up. I liked her beauty. Her eyebrows were curved as if it was organized by the make up, but obviously it was natural. His nose was pointed, fully formed. Her hair was black, long and straight.

Crap! If Pyro is a goddess of handsomeness, this woman is a goodness of beauty.

"Hello." I waved my hand and then offered it to her. "Fira." I gave him a super wide smile.

She ignored me, passing by. "Zarya." She said before she finally walked.

Zarya? Crap! She is Hali's beta? Zeohyrus told me about her! I envy her beauty, she is so gorgeous!

I watched her back, walking away to me. She walked like a ramp model with a sword in her hips. I wished one of these days, we got some time together.

"Where are you going?" After my duty, I was tired when I went to the omega's quarter. I saw my sister fixing the long black gown.

"On a walk." She smiled at me and turned around her body, showing me the detail of simple white blue like the color of the ocean.

"With whom?"

"King Ice."

My mouth literally jaw dropped. I looked away. I wanted to talk to her about what we had talked about, but did that matter? Colden said he will stay away from my sister.

"Do I look good?" As I stared on her eyes, I could see the different spark that was not usually there.

She is happy. No...she is more than happy.

"Yes, you look so gorgeous!" I walked closer to her, grabbed the comb and fixed her hair. "Eira…" I closed my mouth. I wanted to ask her about King Ice, but the words would not want to go out of my mouth.

"Yes? Am I look more beautiful than you, that's why you stare at me like that!" She chuckled with a cute dimple on her cheek.

I blew a sign, but I did not let her recognize it. "Yes, just tonight." I gave her a wide smile, but I knew in my heart that I was sad.

I concluded that after this night, Eira would be assigned to another royal because I believed in King Ice's words.

"Fira, our father...do you have any news about him?" Suddenly, the sadness drew in her expression. "I miss him."

"I'll keep finding him, Big Sis. For sure, he'll come back."

She moved her head from up and down direction. "He will never abandon us, right?"

My mouth was shut. I just brushed her shining black hair. "He has reason...I believe." I paused and then touched her cheek. "You're gonna be late. Go now."

She was fast as she stood up, kissed my cheek and waved her hands. "Bye! Lock the door, okay?"

"Hmm-hmm."

I watched her open the door and finally left me.

Enjoy your night, Eira. You will not be hurt again by King Ice after this night.

Will she or the most painful part awaits?
