• Ineffable    — Chapter 17

  It has been only a few days ever since Elian had somehow gotten himself in this big mess. He was normally stressed or anxious when he was out of his house, it was an emotion that no matter how many times he experienced he would always find it suffocating. But now he felt anxious all the time, even at his own home! And with the new information that he had received recently...He thought it was impossible for him to get this anxious.Thankfully he had Duncan, who was currently walking alongside him and guiding him back towards his home as he had told him before. With how things were working out with Elian, said teen thought that Duncan would just escort him out of the Palace then the rest of the walk it would be only Elian and his thoughts.And his own thoughts weren't the best company for him, really.Elian looked at his side briefly and stole a glance at the kind guard that was still walking with him. The platinum-haired boy was waiting for the da

  After all these years, after all the conspiracy theories he has heard ever since he entered school, Elian would finally be able to hear the secrets of the Palace that no one else knew aside from, well, the Palace. Maybe they weren't the big deal, maybe Elian was getting hyped up for nothing, but he just wanted his thousands of questions to be answered, and for his mind to find peace on that matter.Or maybe he would only get more relentless...even so, he wanted to hear the truth.Duncan led Elian towards a big, green tree that was located in the middle of the Palace's garden; standing tall and proud, taking in the rays of sunshine to get the nutrients it needed and giving a nice shade for people to sit under it.Though Elian didn't know if his eyes were tricking him. The teenager thought that the green on the tree's leaves didn't look as... Green as before.He didn't know how to explain it, he just knew."Here, sit down," Duncan stated, sitting dow

  Elian remained in his spot right next to Duncan, preparing himself mentally in what he was about to tell the guards when they came back from the security room: after all if they said no, Duncan and him would end up getting murdered on the spot. Being a temporary king? He was barely 17, about to turn 18! But he still had to go to high school, he didn’t find himself capable of handling the responsibility of being a temporary monarch (and even if he didn’t have to attend school), the teen couldn’t handle the pressure! But it was that or getting Duncan and himself killed because of… well, he didn’t really want to repeat the reason, he was well aware this was his fault.Elian began sweating, not knowing if the

  Slap.The guards were doing what they have been taught to do; get rid of whatever they see as a threat. And Elian had just blurted out that single word that practically told them that their actions were wrong, so before he knew it he felt a painful, stinging sensation reach his cheek out of nowhere. Mr. Jones had slapped Elian, and it was clear that the man didn't look pleased in the slightest; he was fuming in rage."Shut your mouth, kid! Don't tell us how to do our job!" The older guard snatched Elian away from the guard who was previously grasping the teen: Mr. Jones wanting to have Elian in his own hands. The blue-eyed male didn't even have time to react or say something about the slap he had just received, he just stood on his place, the collar being gripped by the enraged guard.On the other side, Duncan's blood was boiling inside his veins, his fists clenching until his knuckles turned a white color. "Don't touch him!" The tanned male instantly s

  "I... I know that voice," Elian susurrated quietly to himself, his mind quite worked up and therefore not being able to recognize the voice of the person properly. Duncan stiffened in his place after hearing Elian speak. 'He recognized the voice? But there wasn't supposed to be someone inside in the first place! The dungeon is like a decorative room!' The guard thought, feeling as if all of this was very sketchy."You do?" The tanned male ultimately questioned, hand instantly tightening his grip on Elian's wrist when he saw the teen walk closer towards the dungeon's door.What was Elian doing?!"I just need to get a little bit closer," The teen whispered, somehow feeling attracted to the voice like a moth to light. Something inside his chest tingled as if he deep down knew who belonged that voice, and he was aware of that: just the name wouldn't come up to his head. Elian finally grasped the cool doorknob, twisting it to the side and hear a gen

  Elian glanced down at the guard's calloused hand that was currently grasping his wrist, an uneasy sensation welling up in the pit of his stomach for a reason that he knew quite well. The tall male in front of him was a guard, there was no doubt about that; but what would the other guards say if they saw the dark blue-haired male sneaking the teen inside the Palace? Would the guard get in trouble? There was no doubt about that!"Why... did you let me in?" Elian questioned in a hushed voice, not wanting to bring attention towards them even though the guard seemed to be rather confident in where they were heading to. Elian did his best to keep up with the guard's pace, a small furrow in between his eyebrows. The guard peered over his broad shoulder and stared directly at Elian's crystal blue eyes with his dark brown ones, soon looking back at the path in front of them."Are you coming here to steal? Or commit some type of crime?" The guard mused with a deep voice an
