They had arrived at the inn a few hours ago and Lina decided that now that everybody had left for their respective rooms it was her chance to find out what the hell was going on with Zelgadis and Xellos. She went through the corridor and stopped at the last door. As she was about to knock on the door she heard voices in the room. Both voices where familiar to her... Lina leaned her head against the door and tried to understand the conversation inside, but the noises from downstairs made it difficult for her.
Blablabla, something Zelgadis secrets, blablablabla, Xellos blablabla, save blablabla with me blablabla..., damn it Sylpheel! Why can't you talk that I can understand something!! Lina wondered what Sylpheel meant with Zelgadis secret.
"Miss Lina what are you doing?" Lina jumped back from the door as she saw Amelia standing next to her, an unaprovable look on the princess face. "Miss Lina! It is not nice to listen on people doors!"
"Amelia would you keep your voice down!" the sorceress said putting a hand on Amelia mouth to keep her from holding one of her speeches.
I just hope that they didn't hear her in there! If Zelgadis find out I was listening on his door, he would never trust me again!
Amelia looked startled at Lina's behavior. She looked wide eyed at her, she certainly didn't understand what was going on.
Zelgadis had been getting ready to go to bed when he heard a knock on the door. He walked over to open it and was surprised to find Sylpheel standing in the hallway.
"May I come in?" he heard her ask shyly.
"Sure, come in!"
She entered and he offered her a chair to sit down.
"Zelgadis-san I don't want to sound rude, but ..." she broke up blushing.
"But?" he asked sitting down on his bed.
Sylpheel was getting nervous, she didn't know how to tell him what she wanted to say, she sighted, "Zelgadis-san, you and Xellos-san shouldn't keep it a secret from us. I mean, I've seen you two hang out together and Gourry-sama told me about what happened between you two in the inn of Seyrla." she blushed harder and started to talk faster, "I understand it if your not ready to tell us about it and I will respect it and you can count on me that your secret is save with me, but don't you think that Lina-san and Amelia-san deserve to know the truth.? You see I really don't care if you two are gay b - "
Zelgadis raised his hands as if to protect himself from an attack, "No, no! It's nothing like that. There's absolutely nothing between her and me!" he told the priestess blushing.
"Her?" Sylpheel looked confused, "You mean you have a girlfriend besides Xellos-san?"
"No." Zelgadis but a hand to his head. "Xellos is a woman!" he sighted, "You see, she confessed it to me last night." he made a dramatic handmove and rolled his eyes, "I didn't believe her and she sort of proved it to me." Zelgadis invented a new tone of red as he said those words.
Amelia had been listening to Lina's explanation that there was something going on between Zelgadis, Sylpheel and Xellos and that the sorceress had just want to ask about it, but she had wanted to make sure that Zelgadis would be alone in his room. And now for a reason Amelia couldn't remember she and Lina were listening on Zelgadis door. She knew that it was against a noble fighter for justice and love do be doing such thing, but if her Zelgadis had trouble she would do whatever was necessary to help him, even if it meant to listen, on his door.
Lina was frustrating, she might have convinced Amelia not to make any noises, but she still couldn't understand all the conversation. Blablabla girlfriend blablabla.... WAIT A MINUTE! Did she just heard the word girlfriend?? Lina's eyes widened...
" - prove it to me." Lina heard Zelgadis say.
Lina backed away from the door and gained a confused look from Amelia. Lina just looked startled. WHAT? Sylpheel and Zelgadis?! No way! That is impossible, she loves Gourry, or doesn't she?
Lina was very confused, and not only that! She felt anger and jealousy starting to raise inside of her. She looked at Amelia, Hadn't she just heard that Sylpheel asked to be Zelgadis' girlfriend? Didn't she love Zelgadis?!
Lina felt tears building in her eyes and closed them as she turned away from Amelia indicated the princess to follow her.
Amelia stared at the sorceress for some moments, she didn't understand what had startled Lina, then again she had only understood the part of a woman proving something to Zelgadis. What could have possible made Lina react this way?
"Xellos is a woman? Wow..." Sylpheel looked impressed, "Why didn't she say anything before?"
"I have no idea. You know that Xellos never does anything for a selfless reason, besides who understands Mazoku anyway?"
"I have to talk to her first thing in the morning!" said the priestess smiling, "Good night Zelgadis-san" she said before leaving.
"Good night!"
