Chereads / THE MOON'S BLUE FLOWER / Chapter 6 - The Winner

Chapter 6 - The Winner

Everyone was in the dance room, everyone was drinking and laughing, everything seemed to be perfect. My dad was impatient for the final game, and so I was.

After the dance, I came back to my room, undress, and came to my bed, but I did not realize that someone was there too. I thought it was a person, but he was just standing in the corner watching me without saying a word, I did not get it, but it is not the first time that I see a person like this one.

The next day my father decided to do another game, but this time was a sword one. I was thinking for a while until a realized that Ester did not show up yesterday, and it was impossible not to ask myself "what happened to him?" so I turned to my father and I know he saw everything in my eyes and said, "I do not know, he just disappeared."

The game started, Winny decided to start the game competing with Blake. It started as something equal, but Winny started doing his dirty tricks against Blake until he lost. Then, Winny fought against Jasper, both of them promised not to do anything trick and it would be a clean game. After 5 hours, it just ended up as a tie. So, my father would decide which gonna be the final game for the next day.

I was really tired, so I decided just to go over my room, I took some food before to walk to my room. I kept reading magic books, I read about crystals, plants, sigils, alchemy, and rituals. I even started studying about the moon, about its phases, and what to do in each of them. I did found a lot of things inside of these books, but nothing about the ritual my father did to Jasper, I did not found anything about body marks or anything related. I remembered my father's study room and I knew for sure everything that I need was inside there, between all those books, my father's selfishness decided to restrict every high magic books for himself. So, I decided to get into his study room during the final game.

I went to the kitchen and talked to Ofelia about a key to get inside of my father's study room, and she just confessed there was a copy, so she gave it to me. I saw Jasper coming from the same hallway as me and asked him for some time to talk, we walked to my room and Winny was outside waiting for me, apparently, so I just asked Jasper to go somewhere else. We decided to do it in the library, once we were there "I am planning to get information from my father's study room and I need to ask you something" Jasper looked at me with his confused eyes "What is it?" so I proceed "I need time to grab whatever I need from that room" he sighted "It is fine, I still do not know what is gonna be the next game about, but I promised that I will do anything I can to achieve it, princess."

The next day was just now, everything was ready and I told my mother that I was feeling sick, so I could stay in my room while everyone walked to the place where the game would start. Once I realized the palace was empty I came out directly to my father's study room and found five books about magic. On the other side, a bare hand fighting was decided as the last game, it seemed to be a tie game, but it remains a long time as we planned.

It took me six hours to read everything that I need, and to make it easy I wrote down everything in a paper, just in a way I could understand and nobody else. To let Jasper know that I was done, I decided to go over the place where the game started, and what I found was everyone getting out from the place, and both of the guys totally tired, angry, and fucked. I walked where my mother was to talk and when she saw me asked "Hi, dear. I guess, you feel better?" and I just responded "Yes, mother. So, who won?" she laughed "nobody, they both fade away after six long hours fighting" I was surprised "So, what is gonna happen?" my father walked directly to me and said "I will choose the winner with a chess game. I got clear both of them are really strong, now I just need to know who is the smarter one." Well, in any case, I already know my father is gonna choose Jasper, even if he does not win.

I went to Jasper's room to make sure he was fine, but when he saw me just looked down and said "Sorry, princess. It went hard to keep the fight after Winny started changing his tricks. I am sorry for being weak, princess" I just smiled "You are not weak, you are really strong, and I honestly cannot believe you stopped him during six hours, I am really impressed. Also, thanks to you I collected what I needed" and then I kissed him.

My father offered a small party to let them relax and rest, and even if they were rivals, they started drinking together and talked about everything, I felt good. After the party, I went to my room and fell asleep.

When I woke up the first thing that I saw was Jasper's face just in front of me "Wha... Wha... What..." breathed "What do you think are you doing?!" he just cutely smiled "I am waiting for you to get ready, today is the day that I am going to win, and I want you to be there." Ofelia got inside my room and saw us in the bed, I just blushed and she asked him to get out, when she kicked him out "Of course... Get changed, little pervert" I just got really nervous "Do not call me that, he got into my room" she smiled "I can see through your eyes, I can see the way you watch him. Also, I realized someone stole the erotic books from the library" I blushed "Ok... I admit it but do not make fun of me, you should just understand" she just laughed and asked me to get in the bathroom, and helped me to dressed just right after.

Just as planned, Jasper won the chess game. My father got really proud, Jasper decided to be in good terms with prince Winny, so they got a friendship. That same night we got a 'meeting' to plan my wedding, also my father tried to talk about the future process of new sources, new inventions, different uses of magic, just like control the weather, and read it. I tried to talk too, but my father's rules and insistence did not let me talk, but remain quiet and sit.

The next day I came to choose my flowers, my dress, I decided what food, what to drink, I was organizing my wedding, and it was harder than I thought. After two months, everything was ready, so I came to see Jasper.

I asked Ofelia where he was, she just said that he decided to walk through the kingdom and the village, I did not want to annoy him so I came to see the flower, pour some water and fertilizer, but when I touched it cut me a bit and a bleed. I came back to the palace and asked Ofelia if he was back, he was not. After two hours I decided to go for a walk through the kingdom, too. While walking, I decided to buy a couple of things for myself and I also realized that my kingdom was bigger than what it looked like. I also realized there were bad people and really poor ones. I tried to find him pretty fast, but it seemed really hard with everyone walking through the street, and talking with each other. After walking without knowing where I was, I looked at the moon and said "Please, let me find him" I saw a light and heard a whispered 'Follow me' I did not know what it was, but I followed it, and then I found him. His beautiful and singular hair, that soft and sweet skin, his tall figured wrapping another beautiful female figure while he was saying "You are so beautiful," I shocked, and something inside pinched me. When he realized that I was there just stepped away from her, I did not what to say and I just ran away. I did not cry, I said nothing at all, and I was just running without knowing, then I saw the palace was really close and went to my room. Jasper appeared on my window, so I opened it, then he started "She is a friend that I had a long time ago, it was a while without seeing her, so I visited her. I just hugged her because I was saying 'goodbye' but that it is," I thought how do I understand something that I do not even know if it is right, I was still new into this and thought maybe it was a mistake, he said "I just told her that she is beautiful because she felt ugly, and I think is normal saying something like that in a friendship" so I just smiled and said "Do not worry. It is fine, then."

My wedding came the next day, I was so excited, happy, and nervous. Ofelia helped me to get ready and said: "I am glad to be here, helping you and maybe is weird to say, but I am as proud as if I were your real mother, I just watched you grew so fast" I saw a couple of tears and hugged her "Thanks, a lot. Dear Ofelia."

When my mom saw me she said "Ow, you just look so beautiful" I responded "Thank you, mother" and she added "Enjoy the good moment, especially the first year of marriage. The first is always the best." After the wedding, we organized a party in the kingdom to celebrate my marriage, some of the boys got close to me and said how happy they were for me, and how beautiful I looked with my wedding dress, but suddenly felt how someone grabbed me by the arm kind of strong and whispered in my ear "What are you doing with those guys?" I thought it was my father, but realized it was him "Sorry, they just said that I looked beautiful and.." he interrupted "You are not allowed to talk with guys when you are already married" I did not understand, I was so confused. What the heck is going on? So, he can do it but I cannot? My mother saw me and said "That is how it is, men say what we do and we just do it, we cannot say not to them. Be a good wife, the future queen." Ofelia saw me and said "It is gonna be hard to understand at the beginning, but you are big enough now to discover things. Remember, this is gonna be always your home, your palace, or a refuge."

After we came to his kingdom and Jasper decided to celebrate again for our wedding. I thought that maybe I was wrong and he was just jealous because he did not want to lose me, so decided to show him that would not gonna happen, that I would be always with him and only him. I decided to be the best partner.

That is how it is, a decision to get my happy ending. I was the princess of this story and now a queen, I decided to gain that position, giving everything of me. But, nobody told me that it has to be the same from him and he had to gave me all of him, he surely did. It started as a fairy tale, but the question is "It is really a Fairy Tail?" because I live in a kingdom, because I am a queen. My life is just starting and the future is a mystery.
