Chapter 315: Small Whisper

Chapter 315: Small Whisper

"~Uugh! Guys, we’d better go, I don’t think we’re very useful here." (Ivan)

"Wasn’t she a mage? ~Arg! No!, that doesn’t matter... W-we have to go. I can’t watch this anymore..." (Mike)

"~We’d better go. She had Androphobia, but it seems her defensive method isn’t fear it’s hitting... if by any chance she also thinks we’re stalkers, we’ll end up the same way." (Ban)

"~Chris wasn’t lying when he said approaching her was dangerous, she’s very strong, I don’t know why Cordelia wants to mess with her."(Esteban)

"~eh?, but they seem to get along well"(Alex).

"~well it’s hard to understand Cordelia, ugh, she keeps persistently hitting , there, let’s go already I don’t want her to find me out"(Tharen)

The group of boys who had followed the girls and the prince into the rose maze were now, from the top of one of the walls, watching a scene they had not expected to see upon entering.

Their original intention had been to help or mediate any situation the prince might cause, but what they found was Seraphina giving a speech to the prince.

Most understood at that point that he had definitely come looking for trouble... until Miss Silvercrest started asking him such a series of pointed questions, that things went awry and the other day he decided to leave.

If things had ended there, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But then, without understanding the reason, from the mouth of what seemed like a refined lady, insults and provocations began to rain down.

And the worst thing is... they were good. Many among those present even thought she was too talented for that.

It was when it seemed that the conflict would definitely escalate and that, again, there would be a need for them to intervene, that it all came to a sudden end. In an instant.

Only for it to then begin a one-sided beating by she towards the two poor men, who now the group of men felt more sorry for her than anything else.

It was so brutal and concise that all the men watching felt cold in the crotch and whispered among themselves for fear of being discovered even though they were at a conciderable distance.

Finally, as they were definitely not needed they decided to slowly withdraw, wanting to avoid attracting attention and being next, But there was one who stood watching the scene and stared intently.

"...." (Will)

"~Hey Will, why are you standing there, what’s wrong?"(Alex).

"~It’s nothing, but she... hmmm... I don’t know how to say it..." (Will).

"~What, you liked her? You’re crazy, dude! I’d heard that all Silvercrest people were crazy and it’s true." (Tharen)

"~Yeah, she’s really pretty...but if I had to be with someone like her..... ugh! guys come on, I’m scared. " (Mike)

"~I understand you, Look how she persistently attacks there... ugh, I’m going to have nightmares," (Ivan).

"~It’s not that... it’s just that she, for some reason... uhm, I don’t know..." (Will).

"~Well, let’s go anyway. If she finds us, even the girls won’t be able to save us. Let’s go!" (Ban)

"~Alice... I’d save myself." (Alex)

"~She won’t. And if you keep this up, she probably will herself. We all know how much she looks up to her and follows her." (Mike)

"~In fact, there was a time when I was asking her out often... that I started getting chills in my balls. Now I know why. If I were you I’d break off that engagement for initiative." (Ivan)

"~/_ \" (Alex)

Finally, William followed his friends and they left the scene, though he still had that lingering feeling of a something at the sight of Miss Silvercrest.

"Humm, but you know, I’ve noticed that the prettier a girl is... the more dangerous and troublesome she is." (Ivan)

When they were far enough away and safe enough, Mike was the first to speak as they rambled through that complicated maze of roses. The topic caught the attention of most.

"Oh really? Go on, elaborate."(Mike).

"Look, in our group, all but one of them are outstanding beauties, right?"(Ivan).

"Hey, I’ll tell Aurora later." (Esteban)

"Tsk! Who mentioned names? Well, look, even the cutest and most harmless ones like Selene are the most dangerous." (Ivan)

"Huh? Selene? Not Eira?" (Tharen)

"Come to think of it, you guys don’t know this because you’re new additions, but Selene is the most dangerous one here. So be careful... this fool checked it out." (Ban)

"Don’t even remind me. There was one time, I was just - and I mean just - going to pet her ears a little bit. I mean, they’re so cute and pink and fluffy! But that was my biggest mistake. She woke up, said something about ’defense mode’... and chased me relentlessly with a giant axe!" (Ivan)

"hehe~, I remember, that was funny! You were crying like a little girl." (Mike)

"I didn’t cry! But I barely survived, because defense is my forte. She had no mercy. Then Chris and Eira found out...and they gave me another beating. And at that time they didn’t even get along." (Ivan)

"Yeah, we almost lost Ivan that day. The only good thing is that Chris was healing him...only to prolong his suffering. He’s very protective of his girlfriend, and Eira of her sister, so the danger is threefold" (Alex).

"So if you don’t want to live through hell, stay away from her." (Ban)

"Oh really, it’s a good thing. I was a little tempted to do it too, I really thought Eira was the most dangerous, if you had to choose between the two..." (Esteban)

"That too. But the Eira you know now is half as aggressive as she was before. Since she started dating Chris, she only initiates conflict during practice. Before, just making eye contact with her was dangerous, Ivan was frozen about 30 times since the year started." (Mike)

"ugh in a way I thank Chris, but see there’s my point, beautiful girls are dangerous. Even Lys... I wouldn’t be surprised if Silvia, now that she’s beautiful, was too." (Ivan)

"What, Lys too? But she looks like the most normal one!" (Esteban)

"And she is. But when I asked her out, her rejection was so careful...and how she looked at me, as if even if she had to break our friendship, she would reject me without hesitation. It hurt me so much...it’s dangerous for my heart, For some reason I feel that a cutting and cold one like Elena’s is a thousand times better." (Ivan)

"You really have tried them all. Nothing matters to you, does it? I heard that even with Cordelia... It’s lucky she rejected you right away." (Tharen)

"Hey, not with all of them! I haven’t done it with Aurora, there’s my point, look she’s not beautiful and she’s , the only decent one, and the one we can get along with." (Ivan)

"uhm..., you’ve got something there, but only, because you haven’t tried with her, because she’s not pretty, you’re just shallow"(Ban).

"I’m sure Aurora would also reject you without hesitation"(Esteban).

"..." (Ivan)

"Even the one-san don’t want it. But more importantly... we’ve been wandering around. isn’t it bad to be out for so long, I heard there was going to be a toast or something?"(Mike)

"Yes, it’s not so serious but it’s a lack of etiquette and respect, that’s why the instructors told us it was better not to go out,... but to go back in there is..."(Alex).

"And that’s saying something, since no one even grabbed your ass." (Tharen)

"I think everything will be fine... as long as we separate ourselves from Will." (Ban)

"Oh!, that makes sense. I’m sorry, Will, but I don’t want my integrity compromised again." (Ivan)

"..." (Will)

"Hey, you been like this for a while now, like you soulless... Do you really like Miss Silvercrest? Did you have a crush on her?" (Tharen)

"You’ve got complicated taste, dude." (Esteban)

"hee~, The pot calling the kettle black. Everyone in the group knows you two are going after Cordelia, though you seem to have less hope than Alex." (Ivan)

"HEY! I have a better chance than Alex! All that’s left is for this idiot Esteban to give up." (Tharen)

"You’re going to need more than that. Besides, I’m more recognized than you. Even Chris and Cordelia forget your existence." (Esteban)

"Ugh! Fine, but at least I don’t have an unspoken rejection like Alice does with Alex." (Tharen)

"Curse, don’t involve me in your affairs, I know you’re all jealous just because I have a beautiful fiancée."(Alex)

"No, it’s not like that, it’s just that I was offended by that comparison." (Tharen)

"Me too, your situation is not enviable." (Esteban)

"/_ \..." (Alex)

"But seriously now... What’s the matter, Will? What are you thinking about so much? Were you attracted to something about her?" (Ban)

"Uhmm... It’s just... I don’t know how to describe it... There’s something about her that... Wait! Did you hear that...?" (Will)

Just when Willian was trying to understand that strange sensation that Seraphina’s actions were causing him, a sound caught his attention.

It wasn’t coming from the side where the girls had left; they were far enough away now that they wouldn’t be heard, even if they screamed.

The sound was coming from the opposite direction. Although they hadn’t noticed it because they were chatting aimlessly, they were already in the deepest parts of the labyrinth.

It was just a small whisper... but something inside Willian told him that he should pay attention to it. Willian felt it with his whole being and every time he felt this way it was a really big deal.

"What all of a sudden-" (Mike).

"Wait, Mike ace quiet a minute. There’s something...it’s coming from over here." (Will)

Willian didn’t know what it was exactly, but he felt he had to act. He took the path in the direction of where the sound was coming from.

The rest of the boys, though confused, followed him silently. It was strange to see him so serious.

..

Willian continued cautiously, feeling more and more strongly that this was the place to go.

Finally, the whisper became more tangible.

He stopped his footsteps and brought his ear closer to the wall of roses. Willian, as he drew closer, could hear it clearly. It was a conversation.... four voices: two male and two female.

When the others caught up, Will signaled them to be silence. Then they all curiously moved closer and listened to the conversation.

"Phew~, it was hard, bypassing security, but we finally made it?"

"Yes. They are all ready and connected. In 15 minutes they will explode, giving them a taste of their own medicine."

"...." (All)
