As Caminito was heading towards outskirts of town. He started to roam the area and paste the plyers on the wall. The people slowly approached the piece of paper that he had attached. There is this man who just passed by while riding his horse from hills. He jump off the horse and snuggle midst gossiping crowd as he was knitting his brows deeply.
“Today’s the crowning of Versailles’ princess?”
“No way!” They argued about an instance for the turn over of reigning queen. Frando Sweji as they all know, had to face the circumstance that Argen is going to take control, ruling the land and its all connected territories. That means, there’s a possibility that the Queen might manipulate the people again like what his Father had done.
But why do Frando really knows about its history and filthy governance? For Frando was seems to be an ordinary one who only knows how to live like an average and was interested with horse riding competition. He couldn’t deny the fact that there was an actual tragedy happens and a threat as well that may catch him up in a trap that they just intend to execute him when he was young.
Thirteen years ago, the royals are busy chitchatting in the grand hall with each other while making an exchange peck on each of their cheeks. The dresses they wear are made by an expensive silk and every women’s hair are designed with beaded pearls. Everyone’s entertained with the lovely music that are played by an orchestra.
Few of the people approached the dance hall and started to sway each other in a mode of waltz. Frando’s mother head towards the giant door together with her son and daughter as they’re welcomed with the security guards. These three elegant and gracious people slowly sit on the couch while being served with special tea.
Queen Leandra walked in fiercely while she was followed with the two butlers. She glanced through them and had happened to make an eye contact with the other Queen as well. And now the heavy atmosphere started as Leandra began to speak softly. “Good to see you, Queen Maritz. How have you been?” She asked while having her way in front of the Queen and now holding a grip to her garment . “It’s like you’re having an intention visits.”
Frando’s mother kept her chin up and force a genuine smile. She’s pressured with something that she don’t know how to handle at the most crisis instances. She really owed something from this woman who really was desperate as ever to claim an exchange for something that is priceless. She heaved a sigh and put down her cup of tea as she likewise greet her with a quick smile.
“I’m doing fine and I assure you my gratitude. And I am really willing to pay all of your help after all, don’t worry. But I might take more time to fulfill our obligations to you,” said Maritz as she made a glimpse around the corner of the room. “Would you like to make a renovation for your interiors?” She added trying to persuade Queen Leandra for shifting the particulars of deals.
“Oh.” That was Leandra’s reaction about the suggestion of this Maritz, who really made a way to get everything shifted according to their agreements. As Leandra was also fond of gifts and really was a materialistic one. She might give in to alter her castle at most free offer for interior designs and such. “That’ll be a nice idea. I’m desperate to make a change for my castle’s living room actually. Are you offering for architectural grants?” She excitedly asked while gripping on the arm of her couch.
Queen Maritz quickly response with a “no” and make a show of her brought documents about her personal designer that costs million dollars estimated budget for designing. Then this Queen Leandra suddenly felt humiliated as she realized that Maritz will always be an opponent of her in despite of their intimate friendship since they’re in childhood. “But she’s offering a discount and gives an absolute freebies with his job.”
Queen Leandra wryly smiled and pointed her index finger to one of her body guards standing beside the huge door. The guard followed her hand gestures and bowed a bit to listen what this Queen was whispering about. And for the unexpected moment, the guard had dragged the daughter of Queen Maritz. And that frighten with the tighten grip of this armored man and forcing her to stand up.
Lady Jessiza was starting to cry and screamed because of the pain she’s feeling from that persistent act. “Mama, help me! What’s going on?” Frando was also horrified about what was happening. He stood up and attempt to help his sister from guard’s arm. But then, he was ended up getting stumble on his feet and had butt on the floor.
Everyone was in shock except with this Queen Leandra who calmly stared to Lady Jessiza getting scared with what’s happening. Frando was concerned about his sister and went straight to the guard to bit his arm and kick the guard’s bone leg. The Lady escaped from guard’s arms and quickly ran to hide herself behind Frando’s back. She was startled and getting a lot of mixed emotions furiously. Her facial expressions gone mad from having decent posture and bright face.
Queen Maritz already kneel in front of the Majesty, to just spare another chance for her debt. “Please, allow me to take my time to decide and find way to pay your generosity.” She cried as she was walking with her kneels towards the Leandra and made a touch on her hands and kissed her feet below. “I promise to give them all. I will pray for the abundancy of your royalties. Just give me extra time and show mercy to my daughter, Your Majesty!”
She couldn’t control her emotions. She’s rushing and unable to get herself way more persuading the Queen. For she’s at sake to secure her daughter from this Queen’s filthy culture. She stooped her head low and apologized about what had happened. She knows that this Queen Leandra would get mad if everything that she ever expected torn to get her unsatisfied and humiliated. She takes what she wanted to have from a mere grants, in order to sovereign prosperity of their Royal blood.
Queen Leandra only laughed to Queen Maritz as she slowly brushed her fingers upon the hands of Maritz that is undeniably shivering from the most scariest encounter she had saw by her naked eyes right in front of her.
Her children was clueless and they only knows how to determine ways to get themselves free from the bad intentions of the people. The rest, Frando was still young that moment living as Louie actually, who’s a prince of Crestile.
“You’re pathetic,” said Leandra and still ordered her guards to get Frando’s sister by pulling her hands till they get in the left side hallway of this crossing spacious hall where they think it leads downstairs to dungeons. Then this Queen Leandra slapped Maritz hands away from hers and brushed away the dirt she assume from Maritz’s as on her royal gear was crumpled with the begging of this hopeless queen. “I just have my simple order, and today’s the deadline. We’ve agreed, and don’t just lure me with your shifting alibi’s.”
And that Frando was awaken, he wanted to make a revenge. And why was he ended up using another name and guise himself with a somewhat poor character and having a different aura styles on his face —as well as making his hair long in black. He misses her mom from their very own castle. But he decided to escape from it as he already know what actually was happening after hearing from her mother’s narration about the process of itself.
That torrid morning, first of August. He was riding his horse as he was only seventeen that day. He turn himself a horseback riding racer when he wished to get his own payout, calling it as his mere living and sometimes intend to visit the farm to take care with the animals and mostly assisting the horses.
Then, he met Argen while he was brushing his horses’ hair. He didn’t know her yet for the first time, but he was attracted with the beauty and vibrancy that Lady Argen have. Argen was picking a horse that time, and she’s around fifteen that time. She was wearing a cowboy like outfit and her physique was in a good shape that makes it more like perfect.
“Hi, miss.” He approached Argen casually and also had introduced himself with a smile saying, “I’m Frando. Once a manager of this farm. What do you prefer with these fenced horses?” He assist her with all of his might. Even he didn’t really know it well one by one. But he enjoyed making move just to approach the lovely lady.
“I’d like to get a try with this black horse,” said Argen while her eyes are sparkling with excitement and also turning a look through Frando who’s stuck staring at her the whole time.
“Oh, do you know how to ride it?” Frando asked while slowly untying the horse and getting him out of the fence.
Luckily, she just choose the calm unlike her recent experience with her weekly horse training. Argen made a nod as response and smile saying, “I’ve been having a weekly horseback riding lessons. And I’m getting used with a horse when I was thirteen.”
“How old are you, miss?” Frando asked abruptly due to his deep curiousity with this lady’s personal background. And he could seem that she was living with pennies, after hearing that she’s taking a weekly lessons. “I’m glad you’re having the chance to ride a horse at that young age. It’s such a blessing. I may able to teach you as well for free, if you want.”
Argen was stepping to the wee ladder beside the horse and suite herself on the broad of its back. “I’m fifteen. Argen, by the way.” She extend her hands to make a hand shake with him and that started to make Frando feel an excitement to her as Argen initiatively say what he had ever expected the whole hour.
“Oh, I’m Frando. . .Wseji.” He accepts her hand and graciously shook it. “I’m taking you outside already, Miss Argen.” They both laugh with an amuse. Seeing Argen having a ride on her horse makes Frando to make more curious about who she was. The way she act makes him feeling reminded with such quite familiar past.
The floating of her hair, dancing hem of her skirt, dimples on the corner of her cheeks, and the way she’s braiding her hair in half. “Ar…gen?” He turned his head behind him and saw Destino grinning.
“How do you know her?” Frando asked and seems trying to suspect Destino to like Argen as well. But seeing to Destino’s reaction, it was empty. There’s no stained interest to her and seems to be looking at her normal opposite from what he was. He just have that love at first sight.
“Yes. We’re been classmates since we’re in primary school. Every guys love her so much at Elite School for she was too gorgeous and talented also. She once volunteered as Junior medic of our school, even no one asked. The generosity and approachable vibe of her makes everyone to fall in love.”
Destino’s explanation proves a lot of authenticity. By just judging Argen’s eyes, it speaks truth and pity. She’s humble and most especially a woman with a tough heart. It’s so rare to see a lady being confident with the task that most of twenties are usually doing.
It takes an hours for Argen to stop from riding a horse. As she jump off it, Frando suddenly made a catch and she was perfectly carried in a bridal style. “Thanks, Frando.” That was Argen who was making an awkward glance to Frando. It seems like he was so interest of something that he couldn’t ever dare to say right now.
“It’s okay. My job, actually.” His response was a bit hoarse as he was reaching for the horses’ tie and getting him back to its fence. The farm got no employees already and had got early leaving. Not until Frando was staying with this Lady who just ended at exact six in the evening.
“I saw you with Destino earlier. Was he telling you something?” She asked while getting a change of her T- shirt without even minding to Frando’s possible reaction seeing her from behind wearing only a brassiere. “I doubt his presence. He’s too suspicious for me all the time,” she said and chuckled afterwards. “It’s strange to feel that you’re so pure, Frando. Where do you live?”
And that causes Frando to see Argen’s naked upper part, even there’s still a bra on it. He automatically back off and settle to arrange the space for this used horse. “I lived downtown—”
“Whom are you living with?” She trailed her off and is now slowly inserting herself with her brought cardigan and now confronting Frando already with an innocent look.
“Alone.”
“Okay.”
And that was really a first time to intrude asking everyone’s privacy. But it seems like a normal thing for the both of them who seems to be meant as strangers, but look like living the same roof years ago. That is how impactful for Argen to classify the chance living off as far from a bit cruelty. For she’s born and destined to rule people and follow the milestone for a better change, as she think it is.
Argen in a present was anxious about the ceremony that she would now officially bear the crown she’s waiting for. She made a last glimpse to her mirror. There’s an awaken soul inside her, calling her a couple of times to make a pay. Live a life to make everyone stay, and that is how an abundancy of her filthy culture quoted.
It’s as if, Lady Argen was the final chance for the reigning of this castle in a peace of the spirits that lack of ritual after decades had passed by. “Got a call for yourself to seek the last piece of our stained puzzle of peace,” said the other voice inside her head. And that makes her to open the door after bygone years and welcome to accept the another journey of guising people midst catastrophe.
It was as if the dreams of a princess will always like a fairytale one. The way she’s accepting the hand of a man who offers to get a hold of her downstairs and whisper a sugarcoating words that made to feel her stomach rambling with nowhere butterflies. There’s a spark in between that only eyes could ever tell how it came started.Argen accidentally bumped into Frando as they’re both unexpectedly coming to turn over. That causes her to smile suddenly. That was something that ruled her head whenever seeing Frando in a view. She’ll going to shine herself in own elegant way.“Hi,” said Frando who made a quick distance from her. Argen was startled with the abrupt word of this man wearing the usual pair leather boots in his feet and a thick jacket around his broad shoulder. Frando was attractively in a good odor. The scent makes Argen to get addicted whenever he’s around.“Oh, how are you?” Argen asked with a bit stammering on her voice. That is how time always get her missing him so much
Thirteen years ago, during the celebration of Versailles palace. The banquet was also inserted with Queen Leandra’s unexpected thrill. By stealing Maritz’s daughter from her hands. It’s an absolute grieve of the Queen after taking her daughter against her permission. After all, Queen Maritz could not resist Queen Leandra’s lawful behavior. Her power’s not enough to get Leandra punished, for she’s the most influenced person in regions of their country.Late evening at the banquet, Queen Leandra was acting like nothing happened earlier. She still offer Maritz to have a dinner with them. Frando as Louie sought to avenge to Queen’s sudden order of dragging her sister. He silently glared on his plate and chewing a sliced meat while listening to his mother Maritz’s conversation with Leandra.He hated Leandra’s greediness and he’s full of hatred in his heart. He can’t even focus with eating his meal for he’s still amid of shock and that really was in terror. Frando glanced to the child sitti
The ceremony continue after an incident happened to a woman who fainted after seeing Argen transform herself into disguise. He was bit surprised to see Argen became different in her appearance. He scowled and gasped as Argen approached the woman with visible grin in her face. He surely think that she’s totally a psycho. Her feature was look normal, but Destino could sense her alteration into something more powerful. Her iris were absolutely red and it’s blaze. “What is she going to do?” A person behind Destino was intrigued about Argen’s creepy behavior. She just suddenly got the woman wavered and have it paralyzed for seconds. He wanted to stop her from doing such thing, but he was curious on how she carefully control having connection to that woman’s body. “God! I saw it. The Queen must’ve not like this,” said the woman who’s already embracing herself with her shivering hands after witnessing what happened. “She’s insane! Look, is she going to kill her?” A people behind the seats
As Destino and Argen walked out from the ballroom. He suddenly grabbed Argen’s wrist and lead her onto way upstairs through the last hallway from her room. Argen was stunned to speak, and she didn’t even complain about the sudden pull of Destino on her hands. He slowly intertwined their fingers and silently chuckled when he felt her hands cold. “Are you freezing?” Destino casually asked and saw how Argen blushed. He figured out how vulnerable Argen was. She easily trusts people and undeniably kind deep inside. Destino pulled her hand closer and put it inside the pocket of his coat. “I cannot imagine we’re crazily closed with each other’s hands right now.” Argen couldn’t help to escape a smile from her lips. She was pure, innocent, and easy to befriend. A lot of people hated the way their family cursed their people in becoming unfortunate. “Where are you taking me?” Argen realized they’ve passed by her room and slightly knitted her brows. She cough due to the sudden cold, that consume
Destino quickly ran towards Argen and Magno was surprised to see him. Magno throw a suspicious look and was now glaring to him as if he did a huge mistake. After Argen was feeling the tight pressure and cruel malaise. She tried to focus herself and removed the hands of these two. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “When did you get here, Magno?” Argen asked while now staring to Magno’s eyes, reading on his eyes get intimidated with the look of his Queen. “Are you following us, all this time?” Her voice was like in a thunder while she get rid off the dust on her dress. Argen isn’t surprised any more of seeing Destino for she have brought him here alone. “What’s with the sadden approach?” She asked while pacing forth and leaving them behind. Her left brow rose and her lips could see how it was still trembling as she wry. “Were you both going to pity me of being a loss?” She stopped for a moment to say it to them. Her tears didn’t resist of escaping from the corner of her eyes.
Magno was determined to meet Queen Leandra after healing his wound. He didn’t expected to hear her voice inside his head. It was echoing and refreshing all day long. While he was sitting on broken wooden chair, he closed his eyes and breathe deeply. He tried not to remember Danie’s face, but everything was always coming back. After he vent his allegations to her and leaving her behind. He knows how unbearable it is to feel agony if she really had her abortion or got the child miscarriage. He couldn’t blame her after all, for he knows why Danie became distant from him for something that he’s certain of : involving her in danger and in terrific situation. He messed up with his hair and tightly closed his fist. He still remember Danie’s lips, the way it curved into a genuine smile that only him was the reason of the rest of her buoyant side character. He stand up and walked through his kitchen table. He peeked on the table where he saw a paper under a black little box. It seems like an i
Headmistress Danie was surprised by her sudden embrace. She felt so small in between her arms. She realized that she was taller than her, or was this the particular sizes for the ghost in becoming more huge than living people. Danie was in a process to understand what she was saying, her mother died years ago. And if this would be the sign to see her mother after all those years, she’ll definitely pushed herself to have her warmest embrace. The way that ghost-witch ricocheted tears into a red pearls or rubies, she wished that it was really for her.“What are you talking about?” She asked as she pictured out it isn’t Argen’s mother either. It isn’t resembled to her mother’s charm as well, for the face was absolutely a feature of majestic and have a lot of beads and makeovers around her eyes as it shades in dark as it follows the lower eyelid with a glittering red dusts. Her nose was pointed as some of fairies are with pointed ears to the tip of its helix. Her cheekbone are visible as s
While walking along the village of Versailles. Frando brought apples in his carried basket while he went to the left corner of where his curiousity leads him to place when he happened to saw Argen doing her ritual telepathy in deep forest. While his pace was cracking the withered leaves on the ground. He turn around as he heard some steps making a rustle behind him. That was noon, as he observed that only torrid sunlight above the tall trees have cleared his way leading to uncertain path without even mark of signs. But he knows that he have to reach the place of where he last saw Argen with Magno and Destino. It maybe late for Frando to pave the way against Clus Royals, but he’s positive to find a key by sending good approach for that Queen, as they’re calling. As he turned right, he saw a black shadow. He shivered as he realized that it’s a mere black gesture, no face and even a skin tone. It was like a dark smoke that lingers around. He swiftly turn left and saw the same thing. He f
