《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 34: Quiet Escort
Advertisement
The castle was quiet, but that was what Yasuline was hoping for when she peeked her head out from the secret entrance from the labyrinth that leads right inside the castle itself. How convenient, she thought. Now she would be able to continue exploring the labyrinth as much as she wants and have her fill on adventures and such.
She turns her head back and forth, left and right. She waits for any signs of people coming near them. After a minute has passed with the silence, she starts to pull her body out form the small opening of the entrance. She even goes out of her way and goes back and forth the ends of the halls to ensure if anyone was approaching her way. She intends to be extremely careful before the likes of Caliber, once again, takes away her chance to have some fun. But it hasn't registered to her that it could be a bad thing. On the contrary.
"Okay, the coast is clear." She would say to the small crack of the open secret entrance. She would stick her hand into a gesture to the White Reaper to come out. "The coast is clear. You can come out."
The entrance would quickly open and close shut. The White Reaper would look about his location to confirm himself that the area was secure of surveillance.
Feeling safe, Yasuline would start to stretch his limbs out and suddenly feels the fatigue finally hit her body. Her body wobbles back and forth. The White Reaper steps over just in time to catch her.
"Woah, thanks. Guess all the excitement was pretty draining. It was a busy day for us." she would say embarrassingly. She could feel the warmth of his coat. It was the right temperature that it was making her eyes droopy and she unconsciously presses her body more against him. Resorting him to lifting her into his arms and slowly carries her to her bedroom.

"Sorry, you just feel so comfy right now." She would say in a droopy tone, playfully nuzzling her face against the soft portion of his coat. The drunk effect from the lack of sleep was beginning to take its toll on her as she starts being clingy and affectionate toward him. The White Reaper stayed silent for the most part as he patiently carries her into her bedroom, noticing that even the guards that should normally be guarding the door to her bedroom would be missing. But he had a bigger priority as of now. The way she playfully was kicking her legs about would be ensuring he keeps his focus on her. "Sleepy baby." She would mutter in a cutesy tone.
Her room was about as messy as she had left it early in the morning before they performed the sudden escape to the outside world. The box that had her adventurer outfit was still resting partially on the ground. The Training sword she had used as a prop for her stories was still laying on the bed. Carefully, he moves it off and catches it with his foot to prevent it to loudly crash onto the floor as Yasuline has quietly fallen asleep in his arms.
He had to move quickly before she shifted in her sleep to a more comforting position. He would remove her sword from her belt and tucks it under her bed, along with her training sword as that was where she always kept her precious belongings.
He ensured her boots were off and placed to the side of the bed, loosening up her clothes a bit and pulls the bed covers over her body. Sensing the comforting coolness of the unused sheets, she mumbles and begins turning to the side. With a soft pat to her head, the White Reaper leaves the room through the balcony like usual and begins to investigate the quietness of the castle itself.

He would hop onto the rooftops, the same ones that he and Yasuline met that one night. The night was once again in full display with it''s beauty. But the White Reaper didn't have much time to enjoy such a sight, a sight he really wishes he could share with the princess. The silence was deafening to him. A siren roaring of danger lurking around every corner of the castle. Or, lack there was. The White Reaper could not find a single person outside of the castle grounds. Normally, there would be a bundle of them on each side of the castle as they circle around and another set going in the opposite direction to ensure not one viewpoint was missed by them. He tests the silence out by breaking a piece of the tiles that make up the roof and lets one fall onto the ground. Normally when the White Reaper does this, the guards would immediately crowd around the spot and search the area. But this time, no one came.
"Hmm."
