Все главы A Touch of a Flaming Heart: Глава 21 - Глава 30

I didn't know how to react.Seeing him show up at this very moment I wanted to run towards him and complain to him how much I feel wronged and how much I was hurting.I was just standing there staring at him staring back at me.He gave me a weak smile when I felt Blaze's presence approaching.My forehead creased when I saw Cool walk away.'Don't worry. I'm just around you. All the time.'I figured that he was hiding from Blaze or probably from the whole Flamis. I didn't know his reason but I somehow trust him. No, I completely trust him. I know he has a good reason why he's into hiding."Princess—""Didn't I told you to stay away from me?" I said without sparing him a glance and just continued walking."But I just want to explain my side." He reasoned out, frustrated with how uninterested I am to hear his story."Are you done?" I inquired a few moments later."You just really don't care about me, do you?" he asked in a bitter tone.I turned around to face him this time, my left brow ri

"Before your arrival here in Narte Fantasia, Blaze already had a hunch that there's a mole within the Royalties and he was right. The moment you came, the suspected mole acted more suspicious." Cool stabilized my position on his lap and he rounded his arms around the small of my back to my waist before he continued."Remember Duchness Ardor?" He asked and looked at me questioningly.I tried to recall who he was referring to but nothing came into mind, so I just shook my head to tell him that I don't."Remember the lady who suggested to send me back to the glaciers? You burned her clothes." He said and it was with his last sentence that I remember the middle-aged lady who screamed like a banshee after having her dress set on fire."Oh, yeah. I remember. Wait. Don't tell me she was the mole?" I inquired in which he responded with a nod."Yeah. She is.""Wow! The darkess did a great job sending an idiot as a mole." I said both a little disappointed and amused."After being taken by the Gu

I can still hear the screams and shrieks of the fantasians behind the wall where we are currently hiding.'Would the others be alright?' I worriedly asked him with my mind.He tilted his head to face me.'Don't worry. They'll be fine.' He said and gave me an assuring smile before peeking once again on whatever was happening behind the wall.I was pinned against the wall, Cool's body against mine, I can feel his hands on my waist.I didn't know how long it takes before the disturbing screams of terror started to die down until there was nothing left but silence.A dreading and eerie silence.'Stay here.' He ordered as he tried to check the area before he came back to get me.I felt my stomach turned upside-down, I instantly felt the urge to vomit.The lively and crowded Kabisera was now filled with dead fantasians on the ground. The disgusting scent of blood lingers on the air.I immediately thought of my friends and hurriedly scanned the place for any sign of life.My eyes glowed when

"No! I'll be draining you if I do. No, I wouldn't do it." I said in a firm and determined voice."No, you won't. You won't let yourself drain me. You can do it." Cool said encouraging me.I tried to focus once again but every time I started to feel his energy creeping into my body, I immediately

"Cool!" I called out in irritation. He just couldn't take that smirk off on his face."Stop it!" I hissed and the lava flowing inside the fountain suddenly overflowed."Shit! Okay! Okay! I'll stop!" He said when he saw what happened.I willed myself to relax, a few moments later the lava stopped boiling and Cool's anxious face faded.I heard him gave out a sigh of relief before I felt the other side of my bed move a little."You know, we should do something about that temper of yours." He said as he lies beside me.I snorted and scolded him for teasing me about the count."Maybe he genuinely likes you?" I creased my head with his words."I don't think so. Maybe he just likes the idea of having a princess as his future wife.""But what if he really likes you?" I rolled my eyes with his persistence."That would be impossible. We barely knew each other, I've been nothing but rude to him so, no. Impossible."I thought he will have another set of his witty comebacks but I receive silence in
