"-My lady." The white-haired gentleman said pulling the chair for Mal who smiled at his elegant gesture.
"-thank you sir." She looked at the table filled with mouth-watering dishes, specifically her favorite dishes and drinks.
"-you really thought about everything." He just hummed in response while taking a small piece of his meat.
"-how did you managed to prepare for everything yourself and most important…how did you know everything about me?" she said firmly and he just smiled widely before putting down his cutlery and look back at her.
"-I will tell you a secret but you promise you won't get mad.
-go on, I won't get mad at you.
-Maybe not at me…But at someone else." He smirked and her eyes just narrowed tilted her head to the side waiting for him to explain.
Last night, once the bedroom door is closed;
"-you look horrible!
-no need to worry Ellie, I know an old recipe that could help with that kind of fever." The two girls burst in laughter while Mal got redder from anger this time.
She held a pillow and started to run behind them till they all fell on the bed catching their breaths with giggles escaping from time to time. The room was upside down, Mal looked around her before she said
"-I will go to the bathroom while you clean that mess." The curly-haired girl her arms lazily while the other two shouted in union:
"-what?
-I said clean this mess while I am going to the bathroom, do I really have to repeat myself girls?
-I am not your servant.
-and I am the princess.
-and your injured poor friend is tired and need to rest." She said pouting then stood up straight to finish with her hand on her waist and a sassy hair flip:
"- but first…she have to do her bedtime routine.
-you are lucky we love you Mal." Ayana said sarcastically
"-Who doesn't?" With that she entered the royal big bathroom.
In Kieran's room, the prince was standing in the balcony with his hands inside his pockets glancing at the moon reflection on the water of the fountain and the beauty of the moon lights on the different flowers.
Ray and Howin was standing waiting for the white-haired boy to tell them where they are going to sleep, but he was zoning out.
Howin cleared his throat, earning a glare from Kieran turning around lazily, waiting for the dark haired boy to speak.
"-Where are we going to sleep?; Kier…I mean your highness.
-you can share the bed?
-what about you?
-I have something to do now.
-At this hour!" Ray exclaimed after jumping on the comfy king sized bed.
"-you have a problem.
-no…suit yourself.
-thank you." Kieran said sarcastically with a fake smile on his face which turned blank quickly. He went outside leaving Ray and his personal assistant fighting over the sheet.
Kieran open the door slowly only to be met with a two pair of curious eyes.
"-Mal is in…" Ellie was about to yell but Kieran covered her mouth quickly.
"-why are you here you still want to sleep on her bed? ...pervert." Ayana asked shout-whispering with a smirk on but Kieran rolled his eyes and Ellie chuckled.
"-I need your help with something girls and you shouldn't tell Malin." They looked at each other confused; he smiled brightly when they both nodded at him.
"-you don't have enough time so hurry up?" Ayana commented but Ellie pulled him outside but before she was outside she told Ayana to find any lie if Mal asked about her.
"-now tell me.
-I want to make a surprise for Mal but I have a little problem…I don't know what she loves and what she hates. And you know her the best so I thought I could ask you.
-you came to the right person my friend. What are going to prepare?
-when Rosaline died, her trauma get triggered and she couldn't sleep and she told me about her parents…It happened because of me and I have been thinking if I can make something to help her forgot or create a better memory instead." Ellie smiled bitterly before she added:
"-her parents story is a very sensitive topic for her, I am glad that she trusted you enough to tell you…me and Ray we only knew three years later…she would cry every night and we felt sorry that we didn't know how to help…she grow up out of it and made herself stronger but she couldn't forget…I really appreciate your concern Kieran…
-Hey…is he going to propose?" Ayana interfered in their conversation looking back from time to time.
"-no I wasn't…I…
-then why your dumbass is here for?
-he wants to create a sweet memory for Mal since she has been through a lot because of him."Ellie explained then the princess added:
"-propose to her then. She accepted it this stupid plan to play as your wife and you didn't even made the bare minimum and put a damn finger around her finger.
-First watch your language and second she hates jewelry.
-not all jewelry though." Ellie commented and Kieran already lost it.
"-girls I am not going to propose. Is it clear?
-shut up Nox! You will propose tomorrow like it or not.
-hey! I came here asking for help and now I regret thinking about it.
-yeah! As if, you have anything in mind to do?
-well…I…ohh…I hate you Ayana." The princess smiled widely and then pulled Ellie with her.
"-don't worry big brother…we will take care of this for you and we will tell you tomorrow what you should do…Goodnight."
The girls planned for everything for the whole night while Mal was sleeping. Ellie was very hesitant at first but she finally told Ayana about Mal's childhood and she felt sorry for her.
Kieran went back to his room to find the other two hugging each other sleeping not leaving a single space on the bed. He spent the night in the balcony watching the moon.
"-so it was their idea since the beginning from letters to…
-no…no…no. it was MY idea. I may be clueless but not that helpless. They helped with the decoration and the ring and…forcing me to propose.
-I should thank them for that.
-you are really having fun.
-making a joke out of you then yes prince charming.
-you think I can't make fun of you brave huntress?"Kieran gave her a wicked smile but she just mocked him:
"-try your best then…I am waiting."…
