The Sorcerer's Bride Chapter 60

Published at 2nd of May 2019 10:17:28 AM Chapter 60

Asrar was feeling more than a little disgruntled . His princess seemed to be bent on making him became more outspoken again . It was as if she was thinking of him that he had been broken .

Which . . was probably true, but still! He had had a reason for becoming like this . There was no reason to threaten him, which he was actually finding it hard to believe that she had done . Best friends were not supposed to threaten each other!

He was frowning as he roamed the halls aimlessly . And what she had threatened him with made him want to cry . Saying that if he did not open up to her when she asked him a question or for his opinion that she would kiss him might not seem all that bad . But it was actually the worst thing she could have threatened him with . It was plain torture .

Asrar had long given up on any thoughts of romance . Sure there had been a time years ago when he had dared to dream of courting a girl, marrying, having children, maybe getting a cat . A dog would have worked too, but Asrar preferred cats, as he found their pretend aloofness cute . The girl he had had a crush on at the time also preferred cats to dogs, though she loved both .

But reality had set in . While it would not have been an issue in Carendlus, in Amriel it was . Asrar was willing to bear the consequences himself but was not willing that another pay with him, especially someone he cared about . As such he had chosen to be celibate, and tried his hard to force down any desires for a woman's attention or touch .

Even being friends was likely to end with her getting hurt . But he realized that cutting her completely off would hurt her as well . As well as get rid of any desire he had to live . Everyone needed at least someone else to bring meaning to their life . It did not necessarily have to be romantically, even friendship would work for this .

"Sir Asrar," A female voice interrupted his thoughts, "Where are you going?"

He glanced at the girl who had just talked to him . She sounded and looked familiar . Viola, that serving maid who had showed him around earlier, "I was just wandering aimlessly . "

"I see, you look a trifle upset," She smiled brightly folding her hands behind her back, "Anything I can do to help?" There was an eager note to her voice .

Asrar stared at her blankly . No one could really help him with his issues . Except maybe with advice . But he was not even sure what he would ask . How to get a girl to become uninterested in him? Maybe . Or . . . he really could not think of anything . "I doubt my problems are something thou canst actually help with . "

She frowned, "Well you would not know until you actually tried, right?" There was a simple sincerity in her voice .

Asrar wished it was so simple, but he knew that his major problems right now were hard to actually deal with . What he wanted and what he needed to do were so different . But he really did know what he was going to have to do and he had been ready to do the necessary for those he cared about . As such, there was no real reason to ask for help . He did not need it .

"Thank thee, but I should be fine . Twas nice of thee to offer . " Asrar gave her a nod .

Turning around he prepared to walk off . He would have right then and there if she had not stopped him, "Well if you ever change your mind I would gladly help you . "

Asrar thanked her again and walked off . He really did not need help . The only thing he needed he already had . Hazel and him were still friends and they seemed to have become closer than ever . He smiled as he walked back to the library . He needed a distraction, and studying might just give him what he needed .
