Chapter 10 - misunderstandings

Every biology class, the two sections would combine to become one and Aqua would see the Second prince from time to time.

Alex wondered about the iridescence he saw last time everyday, causing a headache almost all the time. It was the same iridescence he vaguely remembered from the past. In the past, his family had moved to another place to avoid getting involved in politics of Ghana. There he had befriended a little girl with blue hair and blue eyes. She had an ability similar to that of Snow. The little girl was his first genuine friend and an awesome playmate. She had introduced him to her friends as well and they would play games like the world of the future, roleplays, ice and water etc.. recalling all this he pulled through the pain and really wanted to meet the little girl again. He wondered how she looked now, after nearly a decade. Though the possibility was less, Snow can be her, he thought. Alex shook off his thoughts and left the matter in the corner of his mind.

"How is the help from Wales?"

Theodore aksed as the family sat casually facing each other, doing random things.

"She just dumped everything on her assistant!?"

Alex said with disdain.

"How inhuman"

Anna, his mother said joining in.

"Dumped work?! That daughter of Arskan, never, how come?!"

Theodore asked with surprise.

This made Theodore question if the time he had in Wales was just a facade afterall.

"The princess has a cold and collected behavior but the girl who comes at night is reckless and easy-going"

Alex said in an accusatory tone.

"Is that so.."

Theodore said lost in thought.

Alex was doing good in his studies but was lagging a bit in swords, so he stayed back for more practice. As he was going, it started raining heavily, already exhausted by the training, he walked home as if it wasn't raining. As a result he was drenched and severely scolded by his mother. He absent-mindely took a bath, started dinner and fell asleep in the middle of eating. The family looked at him, amused and concerned at the same time. They asked Vincent to take him to his room. The next morning he woke up with a headache and felt uncomfortably sensitive. He flew into a rage at Vincent's regular antics. So much so that Vincent himself retreated.

"Are you really alright bro, you are as white as a sheet"

Vincent asked with concern. Alex brushed it off and went for breakfast but had very little appetite. The mother and father were both concerned but Alex said he was fine and left for the academy. There he felt weak and was distracted. Though Aqua noticed his condition, she could not do anything as she had nothing to do with him. However, when he began overexerting himself at swords, she could not hold back anymore. She went upto him and asked him to take a break, he rudely cut her off, telling her to mind her own business. Aqua was relentless, she went to the teacher and told him about the prince's condition. The teacher asked him to return to class. He glared at Aqua as he left the scene.

Acrys gave the prince a murderous glare and the prince, too tired to react ignored it.the prince was angered whenever he thought that Aqua dumped her responsibility on Snow and would fool around. Aqua who was oblivious to his misunderstanding was slightly upset at unreasonable and childish outbursts.
