Hendrix laid down on his bed usually longer than his normal mornings, that no one had seen him come out his room since day break. His mother had come to knock on his door severally in concern, but he had told her from his bed that he was okay and needed his space without distractions. He had thought about many times in his head and heart, about how his meeting with Ayden would be like. The scenery of how they would stand and talk, and what Ayden who probably say in response to every of his questions in different approaches. He had tried to picture the scenes clearly, using the worst possible scenerio of anger ever, that Ayden could display in reaction to him. It surprisingly went better than he had often imagined in his head, that he was over the moons considering that he had settled an old grudge. He was really at ease, to finally be at peace with him. Never had thought so much about meeting Azalea, in that sought of manner that had met at the palace. Probably in the market, at
Coral had waltzed around entire house happily checking out her dress, in preparation for the dinner feast they had again with the queen. Scarlett and Etheldreda had set a day to meet during the party, while the children could get to meet one another in that course. It was as if heavens had heard her request to be able to meet Ayden again, or her mother's mind has decided to tally with hers in desire. Whatever it was, she didn't really care to know, than the happiness that she could be at the palace again. Ever since she and Hendrix were little kids, they had been inseparable best of friends, that really made their parents glad about how close they were. As Hendrix grew up amongst the circles of nobles that their parents were in, he got to know Ayden during a meeting at the palace that he had gone to with them.While the other kids played amongst themselves and ousted Ayden, he was the only one who wanted to talk to the pretty young boy that caught his attention, who kept on trying
Edla laid silently on her intricately carved wooden bed, crossed with semi-quarter plain curtains drapes that hung around the four corners of it. She had been staring at the ceiling that for so long, with her head filled with so many muddled thoughts. Since the party had ended and the masked men incident that she had to hid under her dresser in fear, she had not been able to meet Coral or even spoken much with Eadlin. Yes, Eadlin. She had not seen her sister come around this days to tease her like she always done, or take the serious matters that Edla really cared about with levity. She didn't even really see Eadlin around during the party, and that, she had not really considered anything big till now. It was definitely weird. 'Was she already fed up of being the only one that frequently came to her own room and not vice versa?' Edla thought meaningfully and sighed. She really had not the wherewithal, to even stand up from the bed or go anywhere, but regardless she did. Edla
"I have lost my diamond necklace!" Coral cried out loudly calling to the attention of everyone, as she looked to both sides of her chair frantically for it. Etheldreda who had made to reply to what Scarlett had said to her, paused on her words the moment she heard an outcry from Scarlett's daughter. Hendrix had stood up almost immediately and walked over to her side, as he helped to check every corner around her, and even on her dress for it. "How does it look like?" Edla asked weakly, trying to get off the gnawing thoughts that had effortlessly permeated into her brains. She was really exhausted from wallowing in them. Impressing Hendrix too that she truly cared for his sister, might work in getting him to notice her too. It was like killing two birds with one stone."Like an oval shaped emerald diamond. It is attached to tiny golden straps," she explained to them, as they tried to wonder in their minds if they had really seen it."When did you notice it missing?" Hendrix asked, st
Zachary made his way into his room angrily as he pushed the door with force, causing it to squeal at the hinges. He could not just understand the unfairness that had happened to Azalea, and that he couldn't even do anything about. Telling Ayden who was probably still oblivious about what was going on, was something he didn't think he could even do. Just as the door was about to swing close, it was held half way by someone's body who wanted to enter inside the room too. Zachary who would have expected to hear the sound of a shutting door, perceived the scent of someone familiar as he turned to the back. It was someone who he could not have even imagined, to see in his room at all."Hey Zachary," Edla said softly, as she strutted in without invitation and took her seat by her brother's bed.The bed was so comfortable and a beautiful design print on the bed cover, as well as his room which was painted to good delight. She rarely visited his room so she didn't even know that, he always
The next morning was somewhat gloomy the the palace, with the king busy with the affairs of the kingdom and the royal kids still in their rooms. Scarlett had reluctantly sent her most trusted servant to give the news of the found necklace, so that the maid that was accused wrongly could be acquitted. Hendrix had made sure that there would be the grounds for releasing her, and not just saying they would let go of her even if she stole it. It needed to be cleared that she didn't actually steal it, but that his sister had made a dumb mistake of accusing someone. Even if Coral had cried so much and pleaded with her mother not to make a fool out of her, Scarlett could not let go of the opportunity concerning the desires she had for her son. Getting him married to a very responsible and decent family, would automatically make his father step down from being Alpha which was killing two birds with a stone. She couldn't just let go of her son's readiness to comply, for her immature daughte
Azalea and Ayden sat outside the royal infirmary in the cool outdoor breeze, watching the fireflies perch from plant to the plant and lighting up the surroundings beautifully. The scenery of the flies in display was a really nice one to gaze at, even with the absence of the stars or moon that were meant to give light to the dark cloud. Ayden who continued to pass side glances at his maid, whose eyes was focused on the herb garden and flies, bothered that the mild breeze that carried along with it cold, could make her condition worsen. He slipped her left hand in his right hand gently, feeling it constantly like he would be able to tell, if she felt cold in her body by the temperature of her hand."Are you sure that you are fit enough to sit here with me?" He finally voiced out, turning to look at her through the right side view of her still pale face. He really worried so much that as persistent as she claimed fine, she could be in pains."Of course master. I am fine. There are so ma
"Goodness! The medicine," the healer screamed out in an attempt to pick up the medicine bowl, that was left to fall through the air to the ground splattering out its contents. The trio who had fallen to the floor so hardly soon overcame the shock, as they laughed at the stupidity each of them had displayed in those few minutes. Ayden who was still grinning at the action that had just taken place, heard the healer clamor for the wasted medicine and immediately stood to his feet. "Are you supposed to be concerned about the medicine that spilled to the floor, or we that are yet to recover from one illness, and still hit hard against the floor?" Ayden asked the fidgety man with a grim attitude, pretending to be really pissed off by the act. "Ahh, ahh," Zachary let out a forced chuckle, as he stood to his feet dusting every spec of dust from his cloth with both hands. He also helped Azalea too get up on her feet, who was still grumpy from the fact that Ayden had left her to the floor.
