Hmph,

I walked away as if I didn't heard him, but he sigh loudly and pulled me in the dark alley, pinning me in the wall, not letting me escape, I crossed my arms, completely dissatisfied with his action

"It's been months, I told you we need to talk" he stated as I sighed loudly, "I don't know what more we can talk about, when you know I already hated you" I told him pushing him away from me

"Alyssa, this is a very important matter to discuss, set aside personal feelings first" he said as I could only scoff at him

"Personal feelings aside? You're the one who's been playing with my feelings since day 1, are you now contented? First you fucking killed me and now your playing with my feelings" I was angry, very.... I felt betrayed by him,

"I already know that, but-"

"And how the hell do you even know I'm Red? I'm now fucking Alyssa Glaze Silverton, not Red Venice anymore" I cutted him off

He went silent for a while, as he took a huge deep breath

"That's-"

I waited for his response, raising my left brow

"-A secret, I can't tell you anything" he responded

I couldn't believe him, he's a complete asshole,

"Then, we don't have anything more to talk about, I need to take my leave" I stated as I tried to walk away from him,

" Promise me that you'll never accept King Frederick's proposal"

I paused in my tracks, as I furrowed my brows, does he think that I will accept the proposal??

I turn to face him,

"Don't worry, I won't.... it's already a fact that everyone can see, but may I ask, why are you asking?" I asked him he bit his lip

"It's a secret... I'm sorry"

A secret....again,

Can't he just tell me anything?!?

"A secret,hmm... Then I must leave, and expect that you won't ever see me again, Lex" I stated, as I walk away leaving him

Lex...

Kian...

The more I think about it, the more absurd of that thought is...

Is it a plan?

Is it all a plan to fool me??

If it is, who's Kian?

How does he know about Lex?

And furthermore, Is Lex even living here?

But before I'll jump into conclusions, I need to confirm whether Kian is really Lex,

"Lady Alyssa??"

I stopped my tracks as I looked up and saw King Frederick, riding a carriage, stopping in a few meters away from me

"Your Highness?"

Well, it's just only for a few minutes since me and Kian talked about him, and speak of the devil, here he is...

He looked at where I just came out from, before his gaze returned back from me

"You really are an unpredictable lady, as I already caught you in the most unexpected places" he chuckled he probably remembered how we had met first

"Erm.. yeah, though there's something I wanted to buy and it was out of sale" I lied, smiling awkwardly

"Oh? What is it? Maybe I can obtain it for you?" He asked me, as he went out from his carriage, standing beside me

Well shoot ... A question I had already know but didn't expect it

"Well, erm.. it's a-" I tried to think as blink my eyes, he patiently waited for my answer, but I couldn't think of something

"- a Dragon's tooth necklace, I heard from an acquaintance that there's merchants selling those, but unlucky me who had arrived left and the merchant travel again" I lied, with batting an eye, he won't know right?

I mean, Dragon's Tooth necklace?? Is that even a thing?!?!

"Really? Doesn't moonlight sell those? Why are you looking for a merchant so you can buy it?" He confusely asked me

As I froze, wait ... Moonlight?!?! What should I do?!

"Well erm... It's a gift! For grandfather, you know how he has access in Moonlight and it won't be a surprise now, would it??" I awkwardly laugh as he looked at me with a doubtful look

But I only smiled brightly at him, and he seems to bought the lie,

"I see, I understood why you won't purchase anything from moonlight, but you're quite lucky though" he suddenly said as I looked at him confused in his words

"Why though?"

"I've brought along my Dragon's Tooth Necklace, for decorations, but since you want it-" he stated as he snapped his fingers to grab his assistant's attention and on a split second a jewelry box was brought out

"I've recently bought it in the Southern Kingdom, but I never thought that you will want it" he added as he handed me the jewelry box, I blinked my eyes first before carefully opening the box,

And I was blinded by how bright it is, it's so beautiful, I looked at him with a pure genuine smile

"Thank you" I told him as he smiled lightly "No problem, do you want a ride home? As you know that I too is staying there"he offered as I think for a moment

It's not a bad offer right?,

I mean, it's so tiring to walk back home anyways

"Umm.."

"Sister won't be riding along with you without a chaperone"

I heard a familiar voice said, I turned to looked and saw brother, who suddenly popped out of nowhere

"To think that the King will used dirty tricks to trap my sister Into marriage"brother said, as I stood there confuse

Wait, is that even a thing??

"And Your Highness as I said, sister won't be coming with you, we must take our leave now"
