Chapter 16
Noctis gave her the chain, making that the excuse for coming back, when she alone was more than enough of an excuse, but he didn't tell her that. Ever since she learned to control her emotions, he couldn't read her like an open book anymore. He struggled to figure out what her feelings was towards him, he would always do little things to try and figure out, but with no luck, she would always go on like nothing happend.
Snow looked up and saw the sun had set and the ride was coming to an end, when they climed off, Noctis took her hand and led her somewhere, "what are you-" Snow began to ask, but she was quickly interrupted when she heard the music.
It was a huge tent, and when they stepped in, it was like a party was hosted here, there was a bar at the far corner, and stacks of hay was placed around the area where people were dancing. It had a merry vibe, with people laughing and dancing.
Snow looked around and saw three figures walking their way, Noctis must have seen them too, because his eyes were fixated on them, and it didn't look like he was looking forward to greet them.
When they were close, out of no where, one of the three, slinged his arm around Noctis's neck and pressed the prince's head down until it was under the persons shoulder, resulting Noctis to let go of Snow's hand, "Arrg! Promto! Get off me!" Noctis said while pus.h.i.+ng the guy off.
"Hey, come now, don't be such a party p.o.o.per!" The guy named Promto joked. It looked like he was the youngest compared to the others.
"Promto, be gentle, we wouldn't want the prince dying on us before he can become king because of your little game with him." The guy who spoke, were wearing gla.s.ses. The way he spoke looked like he was more mature than the other guy.
While Promto was joking around, and Noctis being his serious self shot back every time, Snow saw that the third man that came with the other two, was standing on the side watching the others.
He looked interesting. He had a muscular frame, and on his arms he had a few tattoos, Snow couldn't make out what they were, but it does look interesting from where she stood.
Her thoughts were snapped back to reality when she heard a voice speak right next to her.
"And who is this?"
