My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 51: Change Of Plans

Chapter 51: Change Of Plans

The prince scoffed and turned away with a frown. He ran his fingers through his hair, clicking his tongue impatiently.

Felix was still in a daze but he still had that smile on yet.

"Felix, I am Asher. Give me a kiss."

The third prince said but saw no movement from Felix.

"Felix, it’s me, Asher."

The third prince repeated again but Felix stayed still.

"Sweet heart?"

"My love?"

"Dear?"

The prince called out several names that someone close would call to a very close person. As his frustration grew with no response from Felix, he kicked the table and smiled again looking at Felix.

Then, Felix suddenly found himself back to his senses, feeling something was wrong. It felt like he had a blurry memory.

Actually, he just got stuck in the third prince’s charm. That’s one speciality of these royals. Their red eyes actually are not just normal. Just as they look pretty, they can really make someone lose their senses and fall under the charm, feeling dazed and lost.

The prince was trying to get Felix to kiss him by himself, using this person named Asher who reminded Felix upon the topic of kissing. His calling was supposed to make Felix believe it was Asher and kiss him if kissing really makes Felix think about Asher. But, he got no response from Felix no matter how much he tried and no matter how many words he used to call Felix to let him know he was Asher and he needed to kiss him.

Well...too bad Felix was always used to getting called ’duke’ by Asher.

Felix didn’t know the details of what happened but he was getting tired of this talk. He just wanted to get out of there at that moment.

"Sigh...You are a tough person. I don’t want to work so hard to get a person to my bed. I will just accept my defeat then."

Felix was in denial hearing this, because well, it was unexpected from this guy. He seemed like the ignorant guy. Why was he suddenly acting humble?

Even though Felix couldn’t believe him, the third prince actually lost the spark he got for Felix at that time. He likes to play with people that make him excited but when it becomes too much work, he loses interest. It’s frustrating how Felix was not going along with he wanted.

He was supposed to be excited about Felix being against though, like last time where he found it exciting when Felix was fighting back.

Maybe since it’s been too long, he found it to be not so worth all the trouble at the last moment. Even he himself was quite surprised about his discouragment but he guessed it could also be because he was nervous and excited about something else that was in process which was more important than lurking men into his bed.

So, he may just let this one go.

It’s just not worth the trouble now, even though he wished things would have gone on his way and he got to have his wish come true.

But he has more important things at that moment.

When that succeed, it would be easy to lure this stubborn man into his cave and have a taste of this prey he left to grow more. So, if he couldn’t find a better prey by the time he feels hungry again, then he would start to prey on him, again...

’Felix...If you are lucky, I might see someone else that could amuse me more than you...And, if you are unlucky, I will have no choice but to come for you again.’

While the prince thought while staring at Felix, he, obviously confused, frowned but didn’t say anything to which the prince laughed as he knew Felix didn’t believe him. It’s still amusing to him how cold Felix looked yet his confusion easily visible on the face.

"I am serious. I don’t like people playing hard to get. I lost interest. So get lost now."

The prince turned his back and Felix left there quickly, feeling a sense of relief.

’What a bastard.’

Felix somehow felt quite relaxed by his words but wasn’t ready to let his guard down yet just because of that. He didn’t really trust him.

But, he would hope his words were true.

Because, he was really tired of this game.

.....

When Felix came back to his room, Asher welcomed him and thanked him for the meal. No matter how stressed, Felix of course remembered Asher. Just as their meal began, he asked one of the maids to send some food to his room which the maid seemed to have done well seeing Asher’s excited expression.

How could food make him this excited?

Asher was talking about the heavenly taste and thanked the duke for bringing him there. Felix silently nodded and went to the bathroom.

After coming back, all cleaned, Felix laid on the bed, just staring at the ceiling. Asher saw this and also got in the bed, staring at the duke secretly.

"Did the duke have a good time?"

Asher asked and saw the duke turning his head to him.

"Mmm..."

The duke blankly answered and Asher couldn’t help but let out a little chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?"

Asher quickly stopped his laugh but after getting the question, he thought of just answering him.

"Well, the duke went to the dinner with a very stiff expression. Like if you don’t want to go at all. I suspect the duke enjoyed the dinner. Just curious. I am sorry if I was out of line."

Asher said in a respectful tone, not wanting to offend the duke.

"Well, the dinner was fine."

Asher was quite taken aback as he really thought the duke would give a blank ’mmm’ or something like that.

"I see."

Asher smiled and said as he also stared at the ceiling, the silence getting longer and longer.

"Tomorrow morning, you are also coming with me everywhere. So be prepared for a busy day. You will not get a chance to take a break."

The duke said and Asher immediately responded back.

"Okay duke. Then, let’s sleep early. Good night!"

Asher said and saw the duke turning away, facing his back to him.

"Good night."

Asher heard the duke mumble and almost jumped out of joy. Why was he hyping so much? Wasn’t that a simple good night?

The two then fell asleep quickly after that and as usual, It was the duke who woke up early the next day.

Felix stared at Asher’s calm face and got off the bed, feeling refreshed.

He said goodnight to him.

No one had said good night to him in a long time.

"Asher, wake up."

Felix went and shook Asher but Asher kept turning around trying to sleep more. He never did that before, right? He always woke almost immediately when the duke called him.

Because of that, it took Felix some effort to wake him up. Asher jumped up as if he didn’t try to sleep more and apologised for his inconvenience.

Felix didnt blame him or anything but asked him to get ready soon since he was already fully dressed and all ready to go even with his hair styled well.

He watched Asher run into the bathroom and went to the window to stare at the garden, waiting for Asher to get ready.

But none of the things from that moment went as planned.

Because...

Suddenly a commotion striked.

The emperor... was announced dead...

All of a sudden.

Making a complete change of their plans.

For everyone...
