If Jasper puts on a jacket and headphones around his neck while holding his laptop that he cannot seem to put down, glued on his hand, then Chance would definitely feel as if he was back in his century. ''I can''t believe I would get to see Fuse in a formal outfit, on top of that, he will soon be the Duke of Antares.'' he thought.

    Fuse is lively and a confident person, he always sends a picture in their group chat, often in a sexy or a funny pose that they always laugh at. Almost in all pictures, he wears chino shorts and random shirts then just puts on a jacket he chooses and he will be done with it. Although he is a noisy friend, he was the laziest among the four of them. He could not care less what he wears, trying out clothes and figuring out what to wear is a hassle for him.

    Chance looked at him from the head to the feet, Jasper has jet black hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing a long and dull wine-hued coat that comes to his knees, with trimmings of a lighter shade around the edges. He has a gold band around his neck, as well as another gold necklace above it.

    He wears a red vest coat, buttoned up and secured with a black belt, which has a gold buckle. He has a black tie that is undone and loosely dangling around his open collar, then tucked into the right breast pocket of his vest. The shirt underneath is white, and so are his trousers.

    ''Too bad I don''t have a phone with me,'' Chance thought. If he had one, he would take shots of him and showed it to his reincarnation.

    What Jasper said earlier repeated inside his mind, ''Instead of repetitively thinking about what you did in the past, why not think of what to do next?''

    Chance took a sip of the drink that the server dropped on their cocktail table. "Hearing your words, you seem to be more focused on the future rather than in the past?"

    Jasper laughed. "Of course. I am sure all people are the same. They want to know what will happen to them in the future." he answered as if saying that it was natural. "Why is Your Highness asking that? Do you not think of your future?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

    Chance has never really thought much about his future. He had just realized now that all his life; he kept looking back at the things that occurred in the past. He studied history, researched history. The past.

    Growing up, not knowing his family and how they died, maybe that was where his nature of curiosity started to grow. It was only until now where he noticed that he had never thought about what would happen to him in the future. He was invested only in learning history.

    Even now that he is in the body of King Charles when he was still a Crown Prince, he was still thinking about the past before he came inside his body. He sighed. "Not really..." he replied.

    "Oh, is that so?" he asked again, making sure as he squinted his eyes.

    "Yes, why do you seem as if you cannot believe it?" Chance asked.

    "Strange," Jasper muttered. "The last time that the two of us met, you mentioned something about knowing one''s future," he said.

    Chance''s brows furrowed. It was the first time he knew something like that. He became curious as to what the real Charles talked about with him. ''What exactly did they talk about for him to mention the future?''

    "I did not expect you to remember our conversation." Chance said, so it would not be obvious that he does not know what the conversation he was talking about. "It is not that important," he added.

    "Haha, any conversation with a Crown Prince is deemed important of course," Jasper said in return.

    "Knowing one''s future..." Chance muttered, repeating the future duke''s words.

    Jasper took a sip from his drink as well. "I was here in the palace when we last talked. You were about to leave to find a woman that you were following." He said, recalling the memory.

    "Then you asked me about something strange."

    Chance stared at him, waiting for his next words. It could be his clue to what Charles did before he got inside his body.

    "You asked me what I think I would be in the future," he answered.

    It was just like when he asked Fuse about what he thinks he was like in the past. Even though Jasper was already reincarnated, some scenarios still happen to him, just as they did before. The only thing that is different was the time and place.

    Jasper stared at his drink, not removing the smile from his face as he moved the glass in circles, slowly shaking his drink. "Hmm, Your Highness, you believe in next lives?"

    Chance stared down as well, "Well, I do not know, but it is interesting." he answered. Chance glanced at Jasper, who was staring at the glass he was holding. "If ever there was, have you never thought about it? Never been curious about the future?"

    "At that time, I was surprised by your question." Jasper said with a chuckle and took a sip from his drink again, "I always think about the future, but not what I would be."

    He placed his glass on the table and smiled at the Crown Prince, "So I wondered, what I would be like in the future, when I get old, when I die, how I would die, what I would be like in my next life." he stated while lowering his gaze, thinking about it deeply.

    [Fuse: Just like how we are wondering about the past, he''s probably wondering about the future.]

    ''Nothing changed at all.'' he thought. ''Jasper, even the you in the future are exactly like you.''

    Chance chuckled and emptied his drink, "I am most certain he would be just like you." the Crown Prince answered.

    Both of them laughed, and they turned and saw the Canopus Prince returning with a smile but squinting eyes, "You seem to have talked about a lot of things while I was away." Caliber said.

    Chance and Jasper glanced at each other and snickered as they remembered what they were talking about. "Right, you were the topic." Jasper teased.

    Caliber raised one of his brows. "Oh? Then it must be interesting." he said with a smirk and Jasper just rolled his eyes at his response.

    He looked over at Chance and noticed his lowered gaze staring at his hands. He wondered why at first, but a smile formed on his lips when he realized that the Crown Prince wants to hold his hands.

    Jasper grimaced while observing the two of them and put on a disgusted expression in secret while Caliber is not looking at him. ''Lovebirds, oh, lovebirds. One who has low self-esteem and one who is so confident.'' he thought.

    Jasper has been in the Antares Palace more than once and he knows the way. Besides the entrance, there was another door that leads outside the ballroom. "You two, can you come with me? I am scared to get lost." Jasper said with pleading eyes and acted cute all of a sudden.

    Caliber looked at him in disgust. ''Seriously?'' he said, using his eyes.

    Jasper glared at him because of the look on the Second Prince''s face. ''I am helping you, damn it!''

    Caliber looked away and let Chance answer. Chance seemed hesitant at first but he eventually nodded his head, "All right, we will come with you." he said and Jasper beamed at him with a wide smile.

    He pointed at the door by nodding his head in its direction. "Let us go then," he said and started walking towards the door. Chance and Caliber looked at each other before following Duke Cameron''s son.

    They went through the door that people do not notice much and it leads them outside, a bit farther from the spot he was earlier when he met with Caliber and his aides. Jasper did not stop and continued walking, so they followed him again.

    ''Just where is he going?'' Chance thought, and he is sure that Caliber was wondering too.

    It has been a few minutes before Jasper came to a stop, and they found themselves in front of a royal greenhouse. "This is where you wanted to go?" Chance thought, wearing a perplexed expression.

    "Yes, is it not beautiful? I always wanted to go to your palace''s greenhouse." Jasper said, and he opened the door.

    They all stepped inside, walking towards Jasper. ''But doesn''t the duke''s manor have their own greenhouse as well?'' he thought.

    Caliber is shaking his head slowly, knowing what his friend was planning, and put a hand on his forehead. Jasper shot them with a grin and the Crown Prince noticed that he was now behind the two of them.

    He rushed to the door and held both handles.. "Have a good time, lovebirds!" he yelled and closed the door, leaving the two of them inside.
