The Alpha King's Guardian
Chapter 15: Final Manor Tour
We entered the South Foyer.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
South Wing of the manor contains most of the family's needs.
Raiver nodded and we were once again seven feet apart from each other.
I took him to the nearest room which was the family lounge.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
This is the Family Lounge.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Second floor are my older cousins rooms, and the third are ours.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I figured.
I can feel restriction spells in those halls.
He jerked his head upwards.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Claude said he get chills everytime he looks at the second floor.
Raiver gestured to the three doors divided by arches and walls beside the lounge.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
That's the study library.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
This room has three opening doors so that the smell of books would fill even the lounge.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
That's cunning.
We headed back to the hallway and on the right side Raiver and I coincidentally stopped in our tracks.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
The alcoves on the side are rooms without doors.
Only the mark of an individual insignia opens it.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
This place is restricted, even for you, am I correct?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Yeah.
We continued walking and on the left stood another hallway with a much more relaxed demeanor.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
You've been down this hall.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Yes. The end of the hall is Sir Ansel's study.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
You know, he has booby traps in these halls.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Seriously?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Uhuh.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Anyone in your family dared challenge it?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
My Uncle Franklin and my father, Gilbert.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
How'd it go?
I shrugged and shook my head.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
They never got past the second arc.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I guess he's where you got your sneak.
I turned to him and frowned.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
My Sneak?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Your grandfather mentioned last night that you were the only one to sneak out of Volguardsen Manor, successfully.
He reminded and I face palmed myself.
°°°why does he remember every little detail°°°
Legacie ( Female Lead )
He was just exaggerating.
He smirked playfully and I felt my knees waver.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I don't think he was.
I clicked my tongue and moved forward, heading up the stairs to show him the game room.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Are we heading up the second floor?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Yes. The game room and another set of library.
We landed on the second floor and was met by two big doors separated by a fireplace.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
They used the same door for the Game Room and Library?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Yeah.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Whose idea was that?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Alexx Twins, third generation.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Alexx Twins?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Alexander and Alexandra Volguardsen.
He nodded, not quite surprised.
We entered the game room first.
I took him around the whole place.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
It's got quite a lot of sections.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I'm okay with that. There are some pretty interesting things in here.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
You play?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Pool? I'm okay with it.
We rounded the corner and I let him walk ahead this time.
He seemed to not notice it.
He was gawking at the place.
He stopped by the door at the other end.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Let me guess...
I nodded and pointed at the door.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Theater or a cinema?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
You have one in your home too?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Yeah. My cousins and I used to sit and watch every friday, during summer vacation.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
That's nice.
I walked towards him and he distanced himself.
I opened the door to the cinema and let him in.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
And you even have a balcony.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I could stay here all day.
He said nonchalantly and then turned around to face me.
He threw me a charming smile and I took a step back once I found him walking out of the room.
I swirled around and led him out the game room and into the library.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
This is where we do most of our...studies?
The smell of books invaded my nose.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
You're not sure?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
To be honest, I don't study much.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Why is that?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
I have no idea.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Do they bore you?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
No. I don't know. Perhaps I prefer learning through experience than with books.
His lips formed a half smile, his dimple showing.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I agree. Most of the time it's effective.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
And the other times?
He shrugged and walked inside the library.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Some of the time, you have to bury your head into books.
He advised and I followed inside.
°°°so he prefers studious girls?°°°
Raiver ( Male Lead )
You have complete volumes of lessons here.
We turned to the right and he gazed upon the white ceiling.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
This corner has a different style.
We crossed the main hall and turned left.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Here we're a level higher.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
That's very cool.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
I know. I get excited everytime I come here.
He looked at me, quizzically.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
You get excited by the complex formation of magic but not books that relate to them?
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Hey! That's not how it is.
He laughed gently and crouched leaning on the balcony rail looking down at the library.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
This place is a wonder.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Given its... strange versatility?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Yeah.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I'd like a house designed and built similar to this in the future.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
You'll need a Volguardsen for that.
°°°i did. I just blurted it out°°°
°°°no. this was not blurting out. I freaking said it on purpose!°°°
His lips curved into a grin.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Will you be that Volguardsen?
He turned to me. All sincere and serious.
I was captivated by the deepness of his stare.
We were seven feet apart and yet I could see his face so clear and near.
I bit the inside of my cheek.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Legacie.
He called and something deep inside me stirred.
°°°say something, Legacie°°°
Legacie ( Female Lead )
I...
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Uh...
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Loosen up a little.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Huh?
I gulped and blinked a few times.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I was only kidding.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Ah.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
So you don't want a house similar to this one?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I still do.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
But with less rooms and halls. I'd definitely get lost.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
CICI!
Legacie ( Female Lead )
HAH!
I jumped and held my chest.
I turned to see it was only Blaster, laughing his butt off.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
I scared you!
I melted to the ground and sat on the floor.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Hey woah, are you alright?
He tried to approach me but retreated.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Legacie.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
It's fine. I'm fine. I was just... suprised.
Blaster ran towards me and embraced his arms around my neck.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
I'm shorry!
I patted his back and squeezed him for a brief moment.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
That's fine. Atleast you had fun.
I said dryly and he giggled loud. His voice echoing.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
That's–
I stopped abruptly. Undecided what to call him.
I've recognized, even called Raiver in my head, and talked gossips about him with my friends but I've never been able to say his name out loud and right in front of him.
°°°it was so easy for him to call me and yet to me it seems like preparing for the third clan world war°°°
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
He's the werewolf!
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
ALPHA!!
He screamed at the top of his lungs and I noticed Raiver holding in his laugh.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Hi there.
Blaster swiveled his whole body to him and waved.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
I'm Blath–Blasssster!
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Nice to meet you, Blaster.
Blaster gently clawed my shoulders, like he always do to catch my attention.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
Who ith he?
We both turned to Raiver.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Uh, he wants to know who you are.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Yeah, but he's asking you.
°°°can't he just introduce himself?°°°
°°°i don't know how to say his name out loud°°°
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Go on and ask him.
Blaster frowned and whined.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
But I'm shyyy.
He whispered again and blushed.
°°°well he had no time being shy waving and smiling at Raiver°°°
Legacie ( Female Lead )
You were just screaming my name. No point being shy now.
I complained and Blaster only giggled teasingly.
Blaster nudged me and pressed his shoulders against mine.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
Cici, wha's his name?
I grimaced and then turned to Raiver.
He smirked mischievously.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Just introduce yourself.
Raiver ( Male Lead )
You haven't properly called me by my name.
°°°what's with the sudden change of demeanor?°°°
Legacie ( Female Lead )
What?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
I want to hear you say my name, Legacie.
My heart jumped and I felt my face on fire.
He chuckled, and looked at me playfully.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
What? Why? What?
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
You sound funny.
Blaster poked my cheek gently.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
Is he your friend?
Raiver ( Male Lead )
Yes, we're friends.
He intervened and Blaster smiled excitingly.
Blaster ( 2nd nephew )
What's your friend's name??
Blaster asked in a whisper.
I inhaled and then exhaled heavily.
I cupped Blaster's ears with my hand and whispered his name in it.
Legacie ( Female Lead )
Raiver.
