I swallowed hard as he touches my hand to help me with the position using my flute. "Like that…" He said as he also positioned fingers in the right place.
"Put your thumb under while both of your hands are in front. The thumb will be the one to help you control your tune so don't remove your thumb that's covered there. So as you play the basic tunes make sure your thumb is in the right place and never make a hole or else the melody will be unpleasing to the ears." He explained. I just nodded and made this day a ceasefire for the both of us since he is my teacher and I better listen to him or else…
"So there are different types of flute and the one you are holding is called the recorder flute. And It is very different to mine. But anyways. The way you will play do-re-mi is like this." HE grabbed my flute and started showing the ways to me.
The thumb is under while the rest of your fingers are covering the holes in front. So at the end there are two different sized hole and the one is bigger and the other is small. He started covering up those holes and started blowing air from the inside. He removed his fingers that were covering the holes one by one and when it was playing the do-re-mi sound.
He cleaned it before giving it back to me. "That's how you play the basics. Then you just have to remember each note that would swing inside you head." I nodded at him and took a deep breath before trying it out myself.
Anyway…. Why am I feeling this? Why am I fereling nervous? Is it because I don't know how to play this or is it just because… he's seriously looking at me right now? I don't know why and I think I just need to find it out myself or else how would I know, right?
I did he did on how he put his fingers that were covering the hole and also the right place where my thumb should be. I closed my eyes as I blow air on the inside of the flute and started to remove my fingers one by one like he did, too.
But I immediately trembled in fear when I made a mistake by making a hole on my thumb. "S-Sorry.." I said embarrassed.
Then he shook his head, "Don't mind it. Mistakes are good just keep on practicing though." I smiled at him and started to play again. When it was my 10th time I took a deep cold breath and… started blowing and one by one I started removing my fingers through each holes.
I looked at him happily and I was really jumping because of happiness when I got it right! I got the basics right! "I did it! I did it! Ha!" But he just smiled at me.
"IS there something I did wrong?" I asked when I noticed that his face became pale.
"N-No, there's nothing wrong. I just had goosebumps that's all. Anyways… continue practicing tonight maybe you'll have your very first illusion tomorrow at class." He simply said.
Eh? What's wrong with him all of the sudden? Shouldn't he be proud or at least be happy for me for making ym notes right?
"Hmmmm… I think something is a little off with this flute." He commented and grab my flute. He looked at it carefully and then he shook his head.
"This thing is unable to make illusions even if you puta spell on it."
I arched a brow and questioned him, "Why is that?"
"At the 10th time you played the basics the tune in the middle looked like it was a little bit clogged even though you covered the bottom perfectly with your thumb."
"O-Oh…. Should I report it to Fairy Gracious then?" He then shook his head again.
"I'll look for something you can use tomorrow and tonight maybe you can use some instruments that were in your castle. Maybe you can use that to practice tonight." He said.
"There's no need for that. I can just use my ice powers to do it."
I blew some ice wind in my palm and it started forming into an ice and melted a half and it was crafted into a flute like his.
"Hmmmm…. As long as it doesn't melt then why not. Anyway you can use that to practice your notes tonight but you will position it like this." HE then uses his flute and showed me sideways.
"O-Oh does the fingers of the notes change too?" I asked.
He shook his head. "The way you did it before is the same. And don't forget the right place for your thumb. That way it's easy talk for your practice tonight." I then nodded at him and he should me the other basic notes to do it.
It was time to go home and he walked me but only to our carriage. It was so… I don't know how to say it. But the ways he held my hand today at practice was something ice melting and also when he helped me got inside.
"U-Uhmmm… would you like a ride back? We can drop you off at the market if you want to." I offered and I was caught by the glimpse of the during this night time when he shook his head and then smiled at me.
HE chuckled and was the most sexiest way I could even describe it, "No thank you, Snow. Wow, you're being really kind to me today, huh?" I poked my face when he really wanted to tease me after everything.
"N-Not really… anyway if you don't want to then I should get going now."
He nodded and smiled and the horse started running . I looked at him once more and he was smiling and waving goodbye to me. I immediately went back in and i really don't know how can I describe what I'm feeling. The way he held my hand today, the way he smiled at me and the way he was waving goodbye to me was really making my heart beat so fast. Am I just dreaming right?"
It's nothing special for me to be feeling this kind of way. Maybe I'll go ask someone about this. Maybe they are feeling like this sometimes, too. Or if any by chance. All of the servants in the castle don't usually talk to me. They're afraid that the Queen would get mad at them for like, talking to me or something. Tch. If they're afraid of my mother then shouldn't talk to her and don't involve me her steed. When I got home it was the exact time the both the King and Queen arrived too, "Good evening, Mother." I politely greet.
"Good evening, Father." I also greeted my father. Both of them just nodded to me and we were guided by the servants.
"Would you like to change your clothes now, Your majesty?" A servant asked all three of us.
I looked at Mother and Father and they both shook their head so I did that too. So we continued our to the dining hall. We sat down on each of our royal seats as the cook opened our foods.
"When am I going to see these seats being filled, Mother?" I asked with a bored tone.
She chuckled and wiped the side of her mouth before answering me, "You're going to find the answer to that when you have someone to be your King, sweetheart." My eyes widened and then again she brought that topic out. The truth is…. I don't know who. It's not that I don't want a King to stand beside me… but I'm a bit… not prepared yet. I don't want to be alone that's all. It's an amazing fact that I'm still thinking about that.
"Hmmmm… ithink at brought that topic on the wrong time didn't I, Snow?" Mother spoked. I just smiled at her but it was a sad smile.
And then in the middle of our dinner a servant excused herself to talk, "Forgive for interrupting your dinner, Your Majesties. But a commoner asked if he can come in. HE said he's hear to see Princess Snow." I looked the servant ands she just looked both of my parents.
"A "he" isn't that quite interesting. Isn't it, Snow." Father looked at me with an amusing grin on his face. I just rolled my eye and didn't mind him.
"Let him in. Maybe he can also be the part of our "family" dinner." I just looked dowqn because of embarrassment for what my mother just said.
"Mind if we ask you who it is?" I spoke up.
She shook her head, "Forgive me, but he does not want to say his name until he sees you. But even if you ask you'll probably know when he shows himself up." What the hell? I just nodded at her.
"Well who might that be, Snow?" Mother asked teasingly.
"Tch! I don't know!" I snarl at her.
Father just chuckled and by one minute passed… time was slowing down when then came the man I really know.
"Oh it's you. Wynter the magician, right?" Mother said.
He bowed in front of her and kissed the back of her palm as his greetings. "Yes, Your Highness. But about the dinner I think I might refuse. I just ate, My Queen. I'm afraid I'm already full."
"Oh. Don't mind it young man. But can I ask why do you want to see our young Snow?"
"Father!"
"Oh… I'm her teacher, My King. I'm teaching her to play her flute to make illusions." He explained. Yeah…that's obviously the reason. Is there even other reasons besides that, Snow?
"Oh….. I see. Then Snow? You're done eating, right?" Mother asked.
"Y-Yes…" I unconsciously answered.
"Okay then. Now maids! Please escort Wynter to our Music Room. Snow will be there in a minute, Son." Father bluntly said. Do they not know how irritated am I right know? Yet they act so calm still!
After I change my clothes I immediately went to the Music Room and I saw him already playoing his flute. "F-Forgive me for coming in the wrong time, Snow." He apologized. Why are you apologizing to me?
I just nodded and grab my ice flute but he grabbed it first, "What the hell?"
Here… sparkles everywhere, snow everywhere, that's all I see when he handed me a flute that was out of bamboo. "What's this?" I asked.
"Hmmmm… I though you already knew what this is." I just rolled my eyes but he…. Chuckled.
I act irritated when I grab that flute, "The same melody you made last time, please." I nodded at him and bended my head to the side and started playing and damn! For the 20th time I really got it perfect! HE keeps saying again and again until I perfect it!
But when I touched my neck it was aching, "What's wrong?" He asked me.
"I c-can't… my n-neck hurts…" I complaint.
I heard him walking behind my back and I froze when I felt him breathing on my neck, "What are you doing?" I asked nervously.
"Just let me do this and the pain will go away, my love..." I was like under his words so I just nodded back at him.
My eyes widened when a sharp fang pierce through my skin and then…. He licked it.
