Shit! I overslept... It was 9 in the morning and I couldn't find Amadeus beside me. The last thing I can remember was that we were cuddling. The moment I recalled what happened yesterday, it immediately made me fluster and blush.
I said that!!! Ugh now I have second hand embarrassment for myself. Great. Someone knocked on the door so I went to open it. Amadeus walked in with a tray full of food.
"Breakfast in bed my love" he smiled brightly at me. AH!! My eyes have been blessed, he's so cute.
We say down on the bed and started eating our delicious blueberry pancakes with iced coffee but Amadeus had this grim look on his face like he was thinking about something.
"You look bothered... Are you thinking about something?" I asked with a worried look on my face.
"No... Its nothing darling" that voice clearly signalled to my feminine instincts that something was clearly wrong. Well then if he won't tell me I guess I have to find out for myself then.
After eating breakfast Amadeus left the room to do some work and errands while I wonder about the castle to look for some clues about what was bothering him.
When suddenly I heard a lot of footsteps and it turns out it was the queen and her servants.
"What are you doing here?" The queen asked
"Oh your majesty, I was just wondering about in the castle. It is absolutely stunning and you too as well" I complimented her so that I can win her favor
"Stop with the compliments I know you're doing that to win my favor so that you can be with my son" she scoffed and went on her way but I stopped her in her tracks.
"I know I'm good enough for your son your majesty. Shall I challenge you to a contest? If I get to do what any princess needs to do, I can marry your beloved son. But if I fail to accomplish your standards then consider me gone from you and Amadeus's lives forever. Deal?" I said to the queen. I said those words very confidently I can't back out now.
"Very well Miss Pennantia I accept your challenge"
After a few minutes of changing out of my clothes, I wore beautiful black pleated dress and tied up my hair with a big black bow to match my dress and pretty black shoes.
The queen was waiting for me in the music room and when I arrived there she was standing near the piano.
"First basic things you have to learn to be a princess, to learn how to play the piano" she immediately signals me to sit down and asks me to play her a musical piece.
"Play me a song darling, a good one" wow great emphasis on the good one I guess but fortunately luck is on my side and I played the piano since I was 5. I chose Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart and I played it perfectly.
After I played the song the queen was stunned and I was just enjoying her reaction. Regardless of that I kept these feelings to myself and we moved on to the next challenge. The next challenge was all about intelligence and it was a test to measure my IQ.
Well I guess this is where all my smartness will actually be applied to. I actually did an international math competition before and I have competed in several national competitions back in my day and I'm a wide book reader so I think I got this.
*2 hour later*
"We have concluded that she has as an IQ of 145 your majesty" the head teacher says to the queen
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! Elleine can't even get an IQ over 110! Hurry, give me the paper I will check it myself" After I saw her thoroughly scanning through my answers I could see the devastation in her eyes, it was satisfying to prove her wrong I smirked.
"NO!!! she must have cheated!" the queen revoked
"But my queen she was the only one in the room and we checked through her body before she even got in the room" the servant says
The queen stomps away in anger and the physical challenges start tomorrow. Well what a day.
I went into my room and changed into my brown bear onesie, what an exhausting day I sighed to myself. At this point I was just waiting for my happy pill to go in the door and hug me tight.
A few minutes later Amadeus went in the room. I happily squealed and hugged him.
"How was your day my love?" I asked him in curiousity, he looked very tired too.
"I was just at the border inspecting the carriages that go into our kingdom. You never know that someone might bring firearms or explosives so its very dangerous" he looked very tired but suddenly I came up with an idea.
"Want me to cook you dinner?" I offered to him
"Sure but let's go to my secret place instead so we can have a date there"
We immediately went into the stables to get a horse and we rode all the way to the beach when suddenly he asked me
"The moon is beautiful isn't it?"
"Yes it is beautiful my love"
We finally arrived and I started to cook steak for dinner and the whole time I was cooking he was hugging me from the back. He's such a clingy boy.
After cooking and eating all of our food we went outside and headed to the beach to lay on the sand and look at the night sky.
It was fun after talking for a while when suddenly he became serious and he suddenly told me "I'm going away Silva..."
I just chuckled and said "Oh thats fine I can wait for you"
"No Silva... I'm going away and I don't know when I'm gonna come back..."
"Nah you must be joking" I laughed nervously
"I'm serious. I don't know when I'm going to come back... I have to go somewhere in search for an antidote for my father who is in a coma"
I was speechless...
