"Because you're family"
I said, my voice filled with conviction and a hint of familial feeling, normally saying this to soone that you just t would end with the relationship itself breaking or the other person looking at you with weird eyes but that was only in normal situations. For Carl, these words would only bring sothing else outside,
"Fa-Family?"
Carl spoke back with a startled gaze, instead of being wired out a certain twinkle blood in her eyes, looking at it I knew that the first past was done, nodding my head I spoke with a calm and clear voice,
"Yes, to tell the truth, all I knew about you is from the master but she thinks of you like family and I think of her as one, in such a regard you are family to too, we might not have much now but I'm sure that we could grow to be true senior and junior"
Finished speaking I looked at Carl who was looking at intently trying to gaze into my intention but all she could tell was that I was truthful in my desire to get close to her, a minute of silence reigned in between us before which Carl broke out into a smile,
"Sure"
'Success!'
Seeing that part one of my plans was successful I sighed, dealing with Carl is quite a bit hard, she takes the people she cares about in high regard, making it so that they are all close to her but this also makes it harder for others to break through her heart, making her fall in love with will be a ti-consuming task.
I have to be careful to not step on any land mines that would put in her friendzone and the first thing for is to be a 'family' with her, I will use her innate desire for freedom and fun to control and manipulate her feelings for , at the sa ti I would try to seriously fall in love with her, I haven't changed my objective of having feelings too.
That's the main reason that I'm taking it slow, up and till now I could tell that I have feelings for Grace, Eleanor, Elda, Nora, and Vina, I'm sure that I will have no problem send spending my ti with them, even if years pass the situation between us won't break and that is sothing that I strive to achieve, otherwise later down the line the feelings between us will only beco toxic,
"So senior tell sothing about yourself"
"Oh~what do you want to know?"
"Just so things that I can know about my senior"
"Okay let see..."
With that we began a casual talk with each other, sotis laughing at the antics of Eleanor or at other tis talking about our view into Archery, an hour passed, it was even fun for too, after having Archery drilled into I naturally ford a love for it, discussing it with her was quite the novel experience, moreover, I was even able to know more about her too,
"This was fun, it's sad that you have to go, I wanted to chat a bit more with you, maybe we could even have a duel"
Carl spoke to as she led to the exit of the club, after having a chat we beca much closer, when I spoke with her I made sure to lead the conversation on a path that would make us talk about our true desires, though small I did make so progress, shaking my head I responded,
"I too wanna stay but I have things to do, plus I will be visiting the club every day, we have all the ti to have a spar"
"Sure but you will have to take out that bow of yours"
Saying so stars lit up in Carl's eyes, her eyes seed to spark with expectations, to which I gave her a wry smile,
"Senior you really are one bow fanatic"
"Hey! that's no way to talk to your senior!"
Carl responded with a pout as she lightly hit on the shoulder, just looking at our interaction no one would be able to tell that we had just been friends for so hours, this is the good thing about Carl, as long as she recognizes you, it will be easy to have a deeper connection with her,
"Sorry...Sorry...I won't make fun of it again but in truth, you must one day show your bow collections"
I said with an anticipating smile that led to Carl responding with an equal amount of enthusiasm,
"Sure, it's a promise"
"Then see you tomorrow"
Saying so I left the club as I started to walk through the crowded streets again, walking a bit I reached an area which was a lot less crowded, stopping myself, I spoke out,
"Co out both of you, I can feel your ill intent from miles away"
There was silence for a mont before which the sound of soone walking behind was heard, turning around I was t with two handso and elegant n that sweep grace and power, one had blackish blonde hair while the other had deep grey hair, looking at both of them for a mont I spoke again,
"What do I owe the pleasure of eting the two future dukes of Twilight?"
"Nothing I would just like for you to give up sothing"
Both of them spoke at the sa ti, making them flinch and turn to each other,
"Nix, stay out of this, I will be taking this treasure and Carl's heart!"
The one with the blackish blonde hair spoke to the one at his side. Nix whose na was called upon sneered as he responded back,
"Shut up lvin, the one who gets Carl's heart is a free ga! the best of us will win her heart!"
Upon saying so Nix turned his head towards as he commanded,
"Austin what I want is that bow of yours, the ones that Carl loves"
"Stop! don't give it to him, tell the price I shall give double of what you ask"
lvin interjected as he gave Nix a death stare, anwhile, I just gazed at all this with neutral eyes, I wasn't surprised by their attitude, in context their status was higher than mine, the both of them in front of would be the future great Dukes, they will rule over a huge part of the twilight Empire, while I'm part of the Lionheart Dukedom I'm not the successor, making my future position less than theirs,
'Sigh...such a smart people becoming idiots for love'
I shook my head at their current behavior, in normal situations, they are smart and calculative but when it cos to Carl they lose a bit of their cool, being future Dukes they should know that befriending is better than making their enemy but here they are asking to give up a weapon that is wanted by the whole world.
My eyes quickly moves to a certain side of the street where a certain black haired girl was watching,
'Guess I better give her a show'
