Elena; Queen of Ardorarias

Part 18; Phone Calls

It was clearly a disappointed look from some fans who came to watch Rias' concert tonight. Rave understands many fans who hope there is no relationship scandal because for the fans, their lives belong to their fans. Usually fans are very enthusiastic when watching their concerts, but tonight is very different. Fans who look not enthusiastic to watch their concert also make the members of the group not enthusiastic to perform.

Rave was the first to step off the stage. Usually he is always the last one down because he appreciates their fans. But tonight his mind is very upset. He cannot think clearly and wants to rest immediately.

"Please pick up my phone" said Rave, who repeatedly tried to contact Elena.

More than a dozen times Rave tried to contact Elena but there was no answer at all. The other members slowly entered the training room where they rested. All eyes were on the Rave who looked furious.

"I know you're thinking a lot right now. But can you hide that little look on your face? You may be disappointed but fans are much more disappointed to hear this news." Shann murmured trying to warn Rave.

"But the news is a lie. And I'm not dating Chalota. After all why the fans should be disappointed when that is my right. I have every right to date anyone." Rave replied firmly making Shann look a little anger-bearing.

Seeing the dispute between Rave and Shann, Ian and Andro try to calm them both down. The moderately hot atmosphere in the room slowly subsided.

"Rave I know you're thinking a lot, but please be professional. Aren't you the best at covering up your own problems and being professional? I hope you can calm down a little bit for the second concert tomorrow."

After lowering his ego, Shann came out of the training room followed by Andro behind him. Shann's words are true. Rave is best when covering up the problems that come his way. He regretted being unprofessional at the concert.

"Come, Rave. We better get back to the room. You need rest." murmured Ian who had been faithfully sitting with Rave.

"Go first. I'll be right up to it."

"Don't do the no-no, Rave. You heard, didn't you?"

"Yes,"

After hearing Rave's reply, Ian left Rave alone in their training room. Although Ian did not feel the heart to leave Rave alone, but Ian knew that Rave was currently in need of time alone. At least Rave should be able to think calmly.

Rave's back on the phone with Elena. Despite not getting any answers, Rave kept calling the girl. Hope Elena wants and can take the time to answer a phone call from Rave even for a moment.

"Elena please answer my phone call."

When Rave had just wanted to lean his back on the sofa, a phone call from an unknown number came into his phone. Without a second thought, Rave immediately answered the phone call. Rave expectedly thought that Elena, who contacted him, was using someone else's phone.

"Hallo—"

"Hallo Raves! Do you seem to be enthusiastic about taking phone calls from me? What are you doing right now?"

Rave kept the phone away from his ear. He saw a foreign number that entered his phone call. She knew Elena's voice well, and the voice of the woman who just called her wasn't Elena's. Rave was very sure of that.

"Callo, Rave? Is something going on?"

"Who is this?" tanya Rave was quick and sounded annoyed.

There was a heavy sigh from Rave, "What do you want?"

"Hey why do you sound so sniffy? Aren't you acting a little better on your current boyfriend?"

"Daughter?"

"Well, I don't know if you're right this late in understanding something. Since that statement was released from your agency this morning, aren't we officially dating?"

Rave was getting annoyed at Chalota's reply, taking a deep breath before replying to Chalota's remark, "Listen to Lota, that statement is just a diversion. We will never and can't date each other at any time. You better waste your mind on dating me."

"Why can't I date you? Is it because of Elena?"

The answer from Chalota further heated up Rave, "What do you mean Elena? She's a Royal Princess and you easily call her name?!"

"Why do you sound so angry?"

"Stop it. I hung up on you."

After hanging up the phone call from Chalota, Rave immediately threw his phone on the table. Back he leaned his back against the sofa with his right hand closing his eyes. He felt the trouble coming at him one by one. Could this be the first problem that befell him because he had never before had a hard ordeal. And once he had the ordeal, all came to him at once.

He again tried to contact Elena for the umpteenth time. If tonight he doesn't get any answers from Elena, he'll try tomorrow. There's still plenty of time and he'll understand if Elena is hard to call tonight.

"Rave where have you just come from now?" ian asked when he saw Rave coming to their room.

"Exercise room."

Rave's short answer scared Ian a little. Rave who is usually very cheerful and friendly at this time like not the Rave he knows. Ian got up from his sleep and gave a small flask to Rave.

"I asked the manager to make you some hot orange tea. My mom used to give me hot orange tea when I was stressed. Drink while it's still hot.

"Thank you, Ian."

After giving a thermos of hot orange tea to Rave, Ian went back up to his mattress. He went back to playing his phone, seeing the news that happened today.

"It's not my part to lecture you, Rave. I am much easier than you. But if you want to hear my words, you must be a little patient. I know you're disappointed and confused. I know you hope to get an answer from Princess Elena as soon as possible, but you have to think about her current position. He returned to the palace where the rules were very strict. I'm sure he'd really like to call you right away, too, but maybe he doesn't have time. Be patient, I'm sure you can call her later."

Ian who had always been childish in the eyes of Rave also turned into a very mature. Ian's words were true, and he just needed a little patience. Rave knew Elena loved him sincerely, and it was impossible if Elena had deliberately avoided him.

"Hehe you don't have to think too much about my words, I just talk. I'm sleeping first, Rave."
