Chapter 93: Sneaking out of palace

Cian stared at his reflection in the mirror, his cherry blossom locks curled and left in waves behind his shoulders, just a dash of pink on his lips and for the sake of mingling with the rest of the crowd, he even borrowed clothes from the gardener who worked in the palace, with these he was ready for his long-awaited night out. Clenching his fist he looked at his reflection, dressed in a brownish long shirt with a half sleeves jacket of the shame shade in a darker tone, a big red ribbon wrapped around his waist and short fit harem pants, his sea blue eyes glimmered with satisfaction as he nodded his head. " This will do, I am sure no one will be able to figure out that it’s me."

Jesse picked up another pile of clothes that has been thrown on the floor and looked at his master with a sigh. He didn’t know how things went downhill like that, all he knew was that a few hours ago his master was drinking alcohol like he was drinking water and then all of a sudden he stood up from his spot on the couch and announced that he will be leaving the palace for a night out, saying that he was too bored while staying coped in. " Master, are you sure you want to do this, if the Queen finds out that you have escaped the palace to go frolicking around then she will be really mad."

" And how is she ever going to find out anything?" said Cian as he picked up a hat and covered his head with it. " You are not going to say anything and I am not going to say anything. The queen hasn’t been visiting me for more than a month, I think we will be fine in fact," as he tilted back his head and looked at the ceiling above him, he sighed in despondence. " Even if I sneak outside the palace every night, I don’t think the Queen will find about it, you see? So there is no need for you to worry about anything."

" But it’s still dangerous, master," said Jesse trying to put up a last fight as his master strode towards the balcony of his room. " You are the fourth consort and with the dragon queen’s fame there is a high chance that you will be caught by her enemies, are you sure that you really have to go sneaking off alone? You can leave with an escort or at least take me with you."

" Oh my god, why don’t you suggest that I take my entire knights brigade with me while sneaking out?" said Cian as he pushed open the French windows that glimmered with the reflection of the water underneath the palace. " I am going out for a relaxing night after going through all of that, you don’t have to bother me with the knights and the order. I will be fine don’t forget that before becoming the fourth consort I was an assassin, if someone tries to bother me then..." he railed off as he unsheathed his long claws and tilted his head with a devious smile on his face. " I will shred them to mince meat."

" Master..." Jesse sighed knowing that he wouldn’t be able to stop his master, so he stopped putting up a fight and said, " All right but at least," he took out a brooch that was shaped in a mini version of Cian and handed it to him. " wear this, it’s an emergency alarm in case you are outnumbered or meet someone that you cannot fight off, make sure that you call me I will be there in a jiffy."

Cian placed the brooch in his pocket before unfurling his wings. " You worry too much, I will be fine."

He was not at all fine.

The little concert audience in his head gave a collective and sympathetic aww after he was done finishing his second last song of nothing but heartbreak.

A night of loneliness again.

Facing the crowd that has gone all teary-eyed Cian strode down from the stage in the middle of the pub and picked up a glass of whiskey with large chunks of ice from the waiter who was passing by him and walked towards the bar where his best friend was waiting for him. Flaming red hair and green eyes, his friend winked at Cian before clinking their glass together, " I thought that tonight was the night of you getting over that heartbreak of yours?" Before chugging down the glass of fiery hot brandy. " But all I see is questionable decisions, ugly fashion choices and pinning on your mate."

" Shut up," mumbled Cian drinking his own whiskey on the rocks without caring about a thing that his friend just said to him. " Don’t say a word to me, you hear me? Do you think that I have nothing to be worried about as it is, Dominic?"

Dominic shrugged as he turned his head ever so slightly and winked at the little harpy who was serving the drinks behind the bar. " Another fiery hot brandy make it on the rocks this time little one." The raven’s head turned red in the face before she muttered about playboys and flirts and turned her back to get his order. " I can’t...I just can’t believe that you have been blowing me off for a woman and that’s just simply pathetic, don’t you think so."

Cian glared at him. "It’s not just some woman...she is my mate."

" The very same mate who blew you off nights after nights?" asked Dominic with wrinkled brows. " The same one who cheated on you with a bunch of men in her drunken frenzy and flirted with just anything that had a thing dangling between their legs?"

" She is better now."

" I will just bet that she is, for you to sing so many heartbreaking songs for her." Dominic snorted as he picked up his drink from the bar and thanked the raven head harpy. " So, are you here only for an hour just like midnight princess or are you staying here for good?"

"I——"
