chapter four

"This is all the information that is needed, are you sure Carson?"

I had a wicked smile on my lips as I rolled the paperweight around my palm.

"Yes m'lady. The king said that has all the information you need for the operation. And he gave you three months of time to complete the task."

"Okay Carson. Tell him I'll keep him updated. And be on guard,the princes may look stupid but they are not to be underestimated. If something is to happen to you, the plan would be in danger."

"Yes M'lady. I'll be on guard. Call me If you need anything else."

Click.

Picking up the files,I stared out the window at the rose garden that stretches all around the villa..

This is the first time I've come out of Night kingdom for an operation.. I thought, and it happens to be the most important mission too.

I absolutely can't **** it up.. Failing is not an option for me.

It's been three days I've been here,and so far I've played the somewhat sweet but irritable princess part pretty good..

I stared at my reflection in the mirror,and couldn't help the bitterness seep into my eyes.

This is the moment you have been trained for all these years,Celestine Night.

*The only person you love were killed by the people of this kingdom, and they don't deserve a tiny silver of forgiveness. You shall avenge your mother by killing all that are important to the king Derek,daughter.

There are only two kinds of people in this world,those who deceive and those who are deceived. It's all a predator-prey relationship. You either kill,or be killed by the one's who do. There is no passage for such things like love, or compassion..

I've trained you to be a sword,Celestine. Now it's time for you to show us how good you are at slaughtering your enemies*.

I clutched at my heart,which suddenly seem to be in maddening pain...

"Why..mom..why did you leave me?"

"******Don't cry baby,mom will come back for you. You just wait for mama, my Celestine is strong, right? "

"I'll wait for you mommy. And I'm a big girl,I won't cry******!"

She had smiled at the last moment before they dragged her away.

King Derek, you've snatched the only thing in the world that belonged to me,and I'll pay you back the heartache in ten folds.

Wiping at the moisture in my cheeks, I looked at the mirror.

Chin up, smile,pretend that there is nothing in the world that could bother you,and get the job done like the coldblooded scheming bitch you are,I thought before rushing out the door with my bag in hand.

*In the dining area*

"Morning people.."

I grinned at Jules as he handed me a cup of coffee,black.

"Thanks man,my head was killing me."

I picked up the spoon and started stirring the sugar..

"It's not a problem. The breakfast is almost ready,eat up before the monsters come."

I smirked at him,knowing what he meant by "monsters"

Though the four of my so called roommates are handsome as hell(there's no way to deny that),they aren't considerate towards the food..each of them are big *** gluttons.

How disgusting , I thought.

"I heard today is gonna be the first day of our little Celly to go to the uni with us?"

Unfortunately, I'll have to keep the facade of being a helpless girl for the project..

"Yeah,it's gonna be my first day at public school..."

"Nervous?" He grinned at me.

"A little bit, but I think I'll be fine.."

"Don't worry. We'll be there to protect you..Just tell us if something happens, okay?"

I don't need your protection.

Keeping my face neutral, I smiled at him politely.

"Where's the other guys?"

Nibbling on the bread, I looked around the table to find only Jules and me.

"You're asking about him?"

Julian grinned at me again, smiling mischievously as if he knows something I don't..

For a moment, I just started at his face,wondering what the hell is he talking about, until it happened to me..

That night. The garden...

I could feel my composure slipping, and I panicked.

"No! Why would I care about what that jerk does and doesn't?!"

Julian smirked at me,as if he didn't believe me.

Ugh.I could bitch slap myself, I didn't sound very convincing to myself..

"Are you talking about me?"

I silently rolled my eyes as I stuffed food in my mouth to avoid talking.

"You're narcissistic."

I grinned at Jules who winked at me,and Light grumbled as he sat beside me.

"There's so many seats here,go sit somewhere else. I don't want to breathe the same oxygen as you."

I muttered, shoving another forkful in my mouth.

But of course,he chose to ignore me..

Jerk

"What's wrong with the stuffy Night kingdom? They didn't teach you to politeness?"

Hearing upon the voice, I glared at the direction past Julian.

"I can't be polite with those who aren't humans."

Jules sniggered at my savvy reply and clapped at Light's back.

"You've got a tough nut this time,mate.

I kept that information to myself and smiled cheekily at the devil himself.

"That explains your poor social skills.."

"Shut up."

I stabbed at a piece of meat,imagining it as if I was stabbing prince light himself.

Keep going like that and I swear I'll choke him to death someday..

"I gotta rush from here,dad called and asked me to swing by him before class."

With that,Jules stood up from the table and made his way around the room.

I silently screamed for him to not leave me alone with the jerk,and as if hearing upon my prayer, he looked back at me with a big grin.

"See ya at the Uni,little girl..Welcome to the Uni life."

And with that he left..Leaving me with the jerk alone.

"You like him?"

I stared at him across the room, and rolled my eyes.

No,I just think he's more civilized to be with from all of you hooligans.

"None of your business."
