"What do you want?" Lirian asked bluntly when Alastor got close to him.
Alastor folded his legs and sat a small distance away from him and looked at the student's diligently pushing themselves to become stronger, but they lacked something, he had seen it in them a fire driving them to be better than anyone else, but since they found out that Lirian was blind that fire seemed to vanish.
"How did you know what happened when I watched the footage of your," he paused as he tried to find the right word, "...declaration," he said after some time.
Lirian smirked just like always, and laughed, "Do what I told to do the first time you asked."
Alastor shook his head, this child really was too disrespectful, "Did lady Elisabeth tell her majesty, and then you found out."
"Maybe," Lirian flashed him a playful smile, "But then maybe not, and you'll never know for the rest of your life, until the day you die, your last thought will be how did the emperor know that I spilled my tea all over my pants as I tried to impress my family leader because that's the most important question in the world," Lirian said sarcastically.
Lirian continued not allowing him to interrupt, no doubt he had something to say about Lirian calling himself the future emperor, "The question you should really be asking is this, 'I tried to kill you, but no one, not you or your mother has asked me why I did something so stupid?'"
Lirian couldn't see the shock on Alastor's face but he could imagine it, "To that question I have an answer that you want and you want it desperately because you have been asking yourself that exact same question this entire time."
Alastor felt terror in front of this child for the first time, he couldn't even understand how Lirian knew that but he had to know, "Tell me,"
Lirian chuckled, "Ah, ah, ah," he wagged his finger in front of him like he was speaking to a child.
"Not so fast, first I'll tell you the real reason that my mother didn't kill you after the matter was resolved, it's because I asked her to spare you, I also asked that you be placed here permanently as a teacher instead of being completely exiled by your family."
"What?!" Alastor couldn't help but shout, it was ridiculous.
"If you don't believe me, feel free to ask Lady Elizabath," Lirian said with a chuckle, "And if you can't get into contact with her come with me to my home and I'll get my mother to personally tell you the truth."
Alastor shook his head, he was in hot water as things stood and it could cause him more trouble to go around questioning such important people, "Why?" he asked at last.
Lirian smirked, "Because you're a former squadron commander and when I return from my trial I need a talent like yours to command my fleets."
Alastor almost laughed at the sheer audacity of Lirian, while still a prince candidate he was trying to recruit a seventh-grade second accord combatant, 90% of the current princes and princess didn't have one.
"Let's say for a second that you aren't making a ridiculous proposition," Alastor chose to entertain his nonsense until he got the answer he was looking for.
"Tell me why would I agree, do you think that I'd do so much just for redemption."
Lirian laughed loudly like he heard the funniest joke in the world, "Redemption," he chuckled, "Redemption means nothing unless it's done in the name of one who you place above yourself, and you definitely don't think such lovely thoughts about me."
"My breath taking beauty will only get me so far in winning the trust of those around me, but it will never earn me unbridled devotion, it certainly won't do much to win you over," Lirian mused with a slight chuckle.
Alastor frowned he couldn't believe that Lirian could complement himself so much with a straight face, but he had to admit that with the boy's looks he could win the favor of many without saying a word.
Alastor had seen more than his fair share of hapless fools that would follow someone just to satisfy their ridiculous lust, but all of that did leave him with something to think about.
He ignored the nonsense about Lirian's looks and fell into contemplation if Lirian wasn't using redemption as his hook then what was it.
"If you said you'd follow me to redeem yourself, I would honestly never trust you," Lirian whispered softly, "What I'm offering you is to join a campaign that could earn you something you don't even realize you want," he answered with a sultry voice that was filled with temptations hook.
Alastor looked at him funny, this child was far too presumptuous, but he kept quiet and allowed Lirian to finish before denying him his ambitions.
"I know exactly who made it so that you couldn't control your most basic of impulses, resulting in your," Lirian continued with emphasis on his next words, ", stupid attack against me," he smiled as he knew that he had gotten Alastor's attention.
Alastor told no one about that lack of control he felt, he knew that anyone he told would think that he was making excuse's but now that Lirian was saying exactly what he was afraid of saying he had no choice but to listen.
"I'm not offering you some foolish redemption; what I'm offering you is the vengeance you didn't realize you needed until just now, against the one who manipulated you for a few instances and ruined everything you worked towards for your entire life," Lirian curled his fingers as if beckoning Alastor to come closer.
"The reason why I chose you is because of that new desire festering inside of you is something that I can trust," Lirian words sounded like a supple honey as it enticed Alastor to come closer and closer.
"The vengeance that you want will ensure you will never be willing to give in to the temptations that Efrideet Capriska can offer."
"You can trust that I will never fall against her, because who else besides me would dare to use the schemes of a diviner against them," a deep smirk crept across Lirian's face.
'Maybe I should send Efrideet a gift bag, as thanks for this most opportuned gift she has sent to my feet,' Lirian thought with a jovial smile.
