Unicorn hair

This chapter's song is: marry you by Bruno mars nightcore version!

Sylvias POV:

I turned a corner to where the romance novels were. Not many people like romance novels so it was almost empty but what I saw was so shocking I had to cover my mouth to keep from gasping.

Rin was asleep on Lucas who was toying with her hair. They were both surrounded by books and papers with stories the princess and her magician and all that other romance stuff. Lucas noticed me and gave me a toothy grin.

He then ignored me like I wasn't there. When I stepped forward to wake Rin up, he gave me one of those death stares that always sent me running. I backed up slowly and turned around to run back to Monique and Violet.

"So... Did you ask him?" Violet asks.

"Um... He's a bit busy right now, but I'll ask him later," I say as I catch my breath, "don't worry, I'll ask Rin to ask him. He'll definitely say yes."

"Good, if we replace the string with unicorn hair then it will be much lighter without sacrificing its strength. If we also use a lighter metal then the arrow should be better than ever," Niki says as she redrafts the bow and arrows.

"This is the current draft; then, it looks much better than before. When we get the unicorn hair, we can make some more modifications." Niki says as she shows us the new draft.

The bow looks much better than before, and the arrows were equally as beautiful.

The day ended with me, Niki and Vio making more changes to the design and talking about the different types of material we could use. Soon, it was sundown, and we decided to leave it at that for today.

"You girls go ahead, I'll go and get Rin," I say to them.

"Okay Sylvia, see you tomorrow," Niki says as she and Vio head to the dorms.

I head back to where Rin and Lucas were, hoping that Rin was awake. Unfortunately, she wasn't, but the good part was that she was no longer lying on Lucas.

In fact, Lucas was reading a book while Rin was asleep, using his jacket as a pillow. Lucas finally noticed me and got up. He then headed straight towards me and pulled me away from Rin, into a corner by the library where no one could see.

"You... Are such a pest sometimes," Lucas said as he glares at me.

"..." I couldn't really say anything. How was I going to ask him for unicorn hair when he's in such a bad mood.

"We'll go on, speak," Lucas ordered in that scary tone.

"I'm working on my new prototype for magical weaponry..."

"Ah yes, your magical weapons. Y'know, I'm hurt Sylviana, Hefelia seems to have a new genius around here and yet... Drogoria gets nothing," Lucas drawled. It was pretty obvious what Lucas thought of me when he used my full name without any honorifics: he doesn't like me.

"I need unicorn hair from Mysteria," I finally say.

Lucas just grinned at me and said, "give and take. What do you have that I could want."

"If we succeed in this new weapon then we'll start branching out to the Drogoria kingdom," I say. Lucas just laughed and looked at me.

"Drogoria... Is a country of demons..." His eyes lit red, "those weapons won't do anything to us. We're far more superior than humans."

So he doesn't want weapons... Then what?! Then it hits me.

"I also can help you with Rillaine," I say.

"Why would I need help with her?"

"Rillaine is such a nice and beautiful girl, many other men wanted to be engaged to her, but you managed to do it," I say manipulatively, "although... From what I see, you're not getting anywhere with her since you don't know her very well. I can help with that."

Lucas laughs with his red eyes gleaming (you could practically see the horns growing on his head) and nods. "How amusing...You'll have your unicorn hair in a week."

"Doesn't it take a month for cargo to arrive from different continents?"

"We demons are not like slow humans; we're superior to them in every way. If I say one week then it shall be one week, are you questioning the weight of my word?"

"No, no. One week it is goodbye." I run towards Rin and pick her up even though she's still half asleep. Damn, Lucas still scares me after all this time.

"Sylvia...yawns what's going on..." Rin says sleepily as I half carry her to her dorm.

"You fell asleep in the library, don't worry because we're going to your dorm now," I say as I walk towards the girls' dorm.

I hand over Rin to her maid, Mali and head back to my room. Today was a looooong day, and I feel like I just signed a deal with the devil, aka Lucas. Humph, for someone who boasts about the superiority of demons, you sure do a lot for your human fiancée.

I turn over in my bed and think about how I'm going to help progress the relationship between rin and Lucas. In the middle of thinking, my mind changes ideas like the channels on TV. One moment I was thinking about Rin and Lucas, then next I was thinking about how good today's dinner was and pretty soon, I fell asleep. In my dream, I went into my mind again and met twilight.

"Hey Twilight, how are you?" I ask. Twilight hasn't aged a day since the first time she tried to kill me. She also always has bruises covered in bandages, including the bandage around her eye. Twilight nods. She barely speaks unless necessary.

"I'm beginning to think that you like Twilight more than us," Luna says as she lays down on Twilight's bed in her half human half cat form.

"Gee, I wonder why," I roll my eyes. "Maybe it's because she isn't a sarcastic cat."

"Bit she's a deadly beast who tried to kill you about 999 times," Luna shot back. This made Twilight teary. I bet she felt guilty that she tried to kill me.

"It's okay Twilight; it's okay. I'd choose you killing me any day than those annoying animals," I say.

"The favouritism wounds me," Astro says as he slumps in a nearby chair. "However shall I live?" He said this while drinking some chocolate milk.

"I think you'll live on just fine," I say.

I sigh as I exit my mind and fall asleep again, waiting for tomorrow to come.

The days went by faster than expected, and soon months passed, until it was just two months before the summer break started and before the Royal debutante...

Sorry if this chapter is a bit short; I have things to do. Can you believe my school sent over a whole booklet of homework that I now have to do? T-T
