Chapter 23 The Celebration (The Twins)
Calux’s POV
“Stay away from her, Demian.”
He just smirked and suddenly pushed me.
“Why? Who are you to command me?” He said and he has no emotion staring at me.
I punched my fist on the floor and then stood up to push him too. But he just laughed.
“I don’t know you anymore… You are not the one I look up to, you have changed… brother.” I said and then adjusted my bow tie.
He just smiled and pointed at me.
“You and dad are the reason why I changed!” he said seriously.
My eyes widened because of what he said.
“The celebration is about to start… And I know you all want to see the host of this party.”
Demian and I looked upstairs.
“Then… the host of this party is being called.”
Demian turned to me.
“Let’s meet later… little brother.” he said before leaving.
I just bit my lip so hard and then went inside. When we returned to our seats, I immediately sat down next to Diasspro.
She still seems to be busy talking to Madison so she doesn’t notice that I am back.
“Please welcome our host to this party. Prince Demian of the Kingdom of Fleland.”
Ashleigh’s POV
“Please welcome our host to this party. Prince Demian Ceruse of the kingdom of Fleland.”
We all stood up when suddenly the prince they were referring to came out.
Everyone applauded as I was dumbfounded by the man who is walking through the stage.
“He is…”
I stopped speaking as he turned to me and smiled.
Suddenly my heart pounded again. I do not know why. I suddenly averted my eyes and turned my back and there… Calux and I stared at each other.
He just stared directly at me, noticing that there was no emotion in his eyes. My eyes returned to the stairs.
It looks like Prince Demian is looking at my back. I turned my back again and there I noticed that Calux was staring at him.
I gasped and turned to the front again. Demian’s face was serious again.
“Thank you for coming to our kingdom. Before the celebration begins I would like to invite my family here next to me. Can you come up here please?” the joy in his voice was obvious.
“I am Prince Calux Zephyr from Fleland, sitting in 1st seat of Elite 10 … the Fire Attuned”
It was only then that I realized that Calux was also a prince of Fleland.
“He’s back…”
“Nothing. I have to go.”
It’s only now that I realize that they are brothers.
And there I saw their family.
“They are siblings?” I asked in fake astonishment as my eyes widened.
“Not just siblings… they are twins.” Shreya replied.
‘WHAT?! THEY ARE TWINS?!’
I just stared at their family.
“I am happy that my brother is back.” Calux said smiling bitterly.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Well, Obviously Calux was just forced to say that.
“Aww, baby bro. I have only gone for 2 years. And I missed you all.” Demian said cheerfully.
I could see the tension between them.
“By the way. Our future family kingdom will arrive.” their father said with a smile.
Everyone turned at the door when their soldiers suddenly sounded trumpets.
“The king and queen of Lunaria have arrived! With the Royal Duke and Duchess of Lunaria.”
“Please welcome King Ashton and Queen Felicia of Lunaria.”
I don’t know why… why I seem to have seen that couple… But I don’t know where?
When the couple entered, they immediately introduced the Royal Duke and Duchess with them.
“And now let us all welcome the Royal Duke and Duchess of Lunaria.”
“Duke Andreas Troy and Duchess Matilda Yue.”
“That’s my parents.” Stheno whispered to me.
Suddenly she left and went upstairs with her cousin.
“So they are the whole family of the Lunaria kingdom?” I asked Shreya in astonishment.
“Yes, it’s just that they are not with their grandfather.” Shreya whispered.
“Ohh…” I just kept quiet because Calux’s family was giving a speech.
I noticed that Calux and Demian were staring straight at me while upstairs.
I just looked away and waited for their speech to end.
After the speech, they played a slow song first, Of course, I just sat down because no one would take me to the dance floor. Shreya was invited by Dreb, Elgin’s teammate at Elemental Sports, while Elgin went upstairs to dance with Stheno. Jax and Ember danced in the middle.
I was just sitting quietly when suddenly someone held out his hand in front of me. lifting my head there I saw… Calux?
“Hello Milady.” he says.
Ahh, this is not Calux, it is Demian?
“Can I dance with you?” he said angelically.
I was stunned for a moment before agreeing to his invitation. I just kept quiet as we walked in the middle. I feel my chest pounding again. I can’t explain why I feel this way every time I touch his hand, see or I am close to him. I was suddenly nervous when the light hit the two of us. We all see each other because the light is focused on us.
“But… I do not know how to dance.” I whispered softly as we were in the middle.
He smiled and whispered as well.
“Don’t worry. Just follow my lead.” he said and he grabbed my waist. “Just calm down, hold tightly, and follow my lead, Milady.” he whispered softly in my ear.
I blushed even more at what he was doing. Fortunately, I was wearing a masquerade mask, and if not they will see how obvious that I am blushing. Slow music began to play again. As he said I just followed his lead. Even though I almost stepped on his foot, he just giggled. I’m so embarrassed and I want to be swallowed up by the ground.
“Are you nervous? Don’t be nervous. You’re good at dancing.” he whispered like an angel while smiling at me.
I looked down to hide the redness on my face. Gradually, the other former spectators went to the center as Demian and I danced. Calux and Diasspro are on our right dancing. As Demian spun me around, Calux and I caught sight of each other.
I noticed that he was not staring at Diasspro but only at me. I closed my eyes and then just focused my eyes on Demian. But even though I was no longer looking at him, I felt that he was still staring at me.
“You know? You’re so beautiful?” Demian whispered.
I just smiled and looked down.
“Thanks.” I answered.
Demian spun me around again and Calux and I accidentally hit our eyes again. I can see Calux’s sharp stare, But not to me…
But to his twin.
