The next morning in Ayden's room was Azalea who was sitting on the huge bed, and Ayden who was trying so hard to dress her wound even if she had objected severally. She had to said it to his ears that she would prefer to do it herself and not go to the royal infirmary, which he insisted on helping her to do it at all cost. His body cringed at the sight of the huge wound mark that she had on her arm when she opened it, which was as a result of hanging her hand up for too long which tore open the wound more. He was so scared to even look at the wound with pain in her heart for her, that she just smiled at his behavior and took the pieces of cloth from him."Doesn't it hurt?" Ayden asked pitifully, as he watched her apply the herbal ointment on it. He had never had that kind of huge cane mark before."I am okay. I just need to go out of the city to get some herbs," she replied to him. She had not gotten the chance to be able to go and see Maude, as she had been too caught up with the af
"Master I think some people might be following us again," Azalea alerted Ayden, who was walking side in side beside her. Walking out in the city together with her while talking and laughing, was sure something he really enjoyed doing. It was not so easy for them to check out the huge stacks of books, that were piled to the brim at the library to avoid total scattering, of all the books over from the top. They didn't know that Hendrix was also at the library, or even saw him follow behind them, because of the mixed scents of different people present around. After the not really successful trial of book search, they decided to go to the market where Azalea actually wanted to go and meet Maude. They had taken the route through the rowdy part of the market and bought snacks as they talked on about so many things. Azalea stopped talking after a short while, when she sensed that they were been trailed. "How is it that we have never enjoyed a peaceful day, walking out of the palace in pea
The walk was a silent and moody one, with a maid who walked fast ahead of her master who was sauntering behind. The middle of his forehead was knitted to a frown, with his eyes looking downwards that was barely facing the direction he was going. Rather than being pissed off with her or what she has said, he was really bothered that she could be terribly mad at him. Azalea's brutal words to his ears had stung truthfully in his heart, that as much as he hated to admit its validity, it wasn't as great as hearing the words directly from her.She had wanted to treat his wound which wasn't such a big deal for her, as she just looked around for a substitute herb to use I stead. The young prince was still scared to his stillness of his entire body, which she had decided to act ignorant about and just grind the herbs she wanted to use. The instant that she had put some of the herbs on the surface of his wound, he shrieked like something bad had hit him as he struggled to pull his arm away f
His face was so close to hers, that she could barely feel her breath anymore. Like her head and brain was waiting for something to happen, her eyes spontaneously closed tight as she felt his face too close to hers. His face was barely an inch in front of hers, staring at her pretty closed lashes that kept twitching in restlessness, when he suddenly diverted his mouth to her right ear."I think I would like to start training now without any further complaints. Since you have said I should learn defend myself, I shouldn't be lazy at all," he whispered. Immediately she heard that, her brain jolted out of its expectation illusion as her eye lashes parted open. The opening of her eyes to come in contact with his pretty smiling face, tugged a frown around her cheeks and face instantly.Even the look he had on his face looked so innocently clueless, that she was frustrated to her guts if he had done that intentionally. She rolled her eyes and just pushed him aside to walk to nowhere in par
Azalea had quickly prepared Ayden for the day from preparing his bath water as soon as possible, which he had reluctantly stood up from the bed to take a warm bath with. Just as he was done applying some soothing oil around his body, Azalea had come behind him to bring his robe from where she had hung it. Even if he had exuded a lackadaisical and languid attitude, she struggled the way of his cloth around his arms to fit his body properly regardless of her small frame. She moved swiftly to his front to adjust every accessories and rumples on his cloth, as he watched her serious face from the elevated height of his eyes downward. It really looked like she was totally in for business. "Do I really have to go today? I mean we have not informed Hendrix about it, and those inflexible guards would certainly not let us into their house," Ayden tried to wriggle his way out of the situation. He definitely was not so ready that soon."I have sent a servant by master Zachary's name. She shoul
The tension that permeated the air between Azalea and Ayden was palpable, that she thought in her heart what she could say, to alleviate it. It was hard for Ayden to get rid of the sadness he was feeling, even if Azalea wasn't the one who caused it. They were sad thoughts that really hurt. Just right when they got to the crossroads that could lead to the palace, Azalea sighted Hendrix walking closer to where they were, and quickly called out to him. It was really a relief to see someone, who could probably be able to get Ayden out of his current shell. "Master Hendrix!" Azalea called out to him, as he looked around to see if his ears were doing the tricks, "Over here!" She further directed. The moment Hendrix eyes diverted to the direction Ayden and Azalea were approaching from, a beautiful smile tugged on his cheeks in accordance to the emotion he was feeling. It was so elating to see Azalea healthy and radiant, like someone who hadn't gone through so much in the past few days.
Dressed and robed around with an astounding peach dress that complemented her pale skin colour, her hips swayed left and right as she made her way to the chamber that was imprinted on her mind. For some reason, the route to his hallway looked unfamiliar to her, but her instincts worked her legs to the front of his doorstep. Without knocking, Eadlin's both hands pushed hardly against the sturdy door to barge in, which pounced her push back in fail, to indicate that the door was locked. Zachary who was just standing right by his door wondered what he had just seen, as he pulled open the bolt behind the door and opened it to see, who was rude enough to want to enter through his door without knocking.Zachary's mouth almost dropped open when he saw who was standing right at his door, other than whom he had thought it would be. Though it wasn't something so unexpected since she had come often before, but not after what Edla had told him about her, that he also confirmed too. "Hi. Brot
Edla who was so bored by herself in her room doing nothing much, decided to get herself busy by gathering every of her maids together. She had told them to get plain white pieces of embroidery clothes, and threads with pins they could use to make embroidery designs. She had them sit on the floor before her in the room and timed them to start a random embroidery design, that whosoever finishes first and has a beautiful design would get an expensive jewelry from her. It sure was so worth it, that the maids who were participating in the contest put the best of their efforts. Edla just watched their hands go fast with the pins in their hands, as they made beautiful designs of different colours and shapes. In her heart, she would have probably wished to know how to do that, but she was never keen to learning it when she was young and was being taught palace etiquettes. Many of the things her teacher had tried to make her know as a basic lady training, she sucked at them all. After sh
