Chapter 8: Questions about what?
Not my pic. Wanted reader to have a serious but question look.
I never would've have guess that having tea with a king is...strange. We are outside in the baloncy that had many flowers of different colors and gentle breeze that moved the flowers in time. Cor joined as well but didn't join in the conversation as he is continued to stare at me as if I am a threat or not. Stiff man. We were having earl gary as tea and it taste...good. Again, I've tasted anything so good before since I only get product food that is tasteless. He and I talked about how I meet Noctis and his friends. Of course, I left out the kissing part; that's blackmail for Noctis only. He seemed...happy and laughing at the comments I made of his son such as 'hates green', 'looks like a woman' or 'shouldn't waste food'.
"Heh, you have made quite an impact on Noctis and his friends. You have an interesting character." Regis said as he took a sip of his tea and my head tilted in confusion of the word 'character'
"Wise beard man, what is character?" I asked as he and Cor looked me a bit surprised to ask the question. "Is it food or weapon? Can it be used?"
"No, child. Character means something of a reference if you will. By saying character, I meant your mannerism and personality are unique." Regis replied as I was still confusion, my head tilted to the other side and asked another question,
"What's personality? Is it...a food or a reference thingy?"
"You don't know what reference means, kid?" Cor butted in the conversation "Everyone knows what that means. Were you taught in any schools?"
"What's a school?" I asked as both men looked at me strangely as if I'm crazy and Regis asked,
"Where have you been most of the time, Miss Alice?"
"Out in Duscae and further out, why, wise beard man?"
"...I see, I take it you only taught how to fight; not having any education in yourself?"
"I only know how to fight; my master taught me. What's education mean, wise beard man?" I asked as Cor sighed at my questions to Regis, he stretched his head in annoyance of having to discover I never went to school and asked,
"Whose your master, kid?"
"His name is Death; it's an alias but it's his name, I think." I answered
"Didn't he teach you anything around the world?"
"He only taught me how to fight; not this...education thingy you speak of." I answered as Cor looked at Regis and he asked,
"Miss Alice, how about we teach you."
"Teach me?" I asked the wise beard man as we stood up, we walked inside and continued into the massive hallway. My eyes spotted the boys closing in and they respectively bowed to the wise bread man.
"Ignis." Wise bread man said
"Yes, majesty?" Ignis said
"Will educate this young lady about the world and its history?"
"Of course, my lord."
"It seems she wasn't taught the world or it's history. I want her know that knowledge. My wayward son, you will help as well." Wise bread said to Noctis as he gave the king Regis a look of 'are you kidding me' and Noctis replied,
"Why me?"
"You are friends with miss Alice, correct? It's only natural for friends to help each other out." King Regis said as Noctis nodded, he smiled and looked at me
"Miss Alice, please make yourself at home. Noctis and his friends will help you."
"Thank you, wise beard man." I replied while I didn't know what say because I wasn't expecting Regis to let me stay and welcome me. I felt a new feelings: relief and comfort. This felt light and...happy? I am confused again feeling this...thing. I ignored the feeling like the rest of them as King Regis left me with the boys and Cor followed him.
After they left, Noctis looked at me and asked,
"Alice...why did you give the king a nickname?"
"It's his name. You can't take it, vegetable hater." I replied as Prompto and Glaidolus started laugh. Ignis chuckled in amusement.
"Why would I want that name, Alice?!"
"You don't have a beard yet."
"Alright, that's enough of that." Ignis interrupted
"Aww, Iggy. It was getting good!" Promtpo stated
"Yeah, don't squash our afternoon entertainment." Gladiolus smirked at us as Noctis blared at him and shrugged at Noctis's glare.
"As much as I want them to continue their banter, I have been given an order to teach Miss Alice about history." Ignis said as I gave a questionable look and Noctis replied,
"What do you mean our banter, Iggy? What are you implying?"
"I'm implying nothing, you highness. Just simply you can't get over the fact that Miss Alice has given you the nicknames 'vegetable hater or goth', my lord."
"I have too gotten over that, Specs!"
"Yes, so we see. Miss Alice if you follow me, we'll start on your lessons."
"Ok, four eyes." I replied as Ignis fixed his glasses and sighed. I guess he doesn't like his name?
"I'll help too, Iggy! I want to teach Alice to flirt with me!" Prompto gave a wink as I raised an eyebrow in confusion, Noctis began to argue with Prompto and we all headed to a room called the library. The whole afternoon was quite eventful with the boys teaching me things. The lesson on was how Eos civilization began and naming a goddess; Etro. I took notes because it's interesting to me. I was only taught through machinIt is now the evening with the night giving shadow to the sky. I was in a guest room that Noctis given me and wished a goodnight. I did the same kind of reply but Noctis's face with red after my words and walked away stumbling on his feet. Weird. I was about to sleep as I saw the ghost figure that appeared on the way here. With the simply words of 'why are you here', the ghost disappeared and left a new feeling; guilty.
It felt bad and...much weight is on me that I wanted to get rid of but can't.
Sorry for the wait; I finally posted the next chapter. The next update will be better. Please enjoy and comment. Thank you again for voting and adding the story.
