The Castle grounds is shaking. Someone made the staff trembling down to thier knees.
Even Lord Lawford's' face was stiffer than ever. King Zess' expression was painted with disgust. The young Prime Minister pacing up to match his Kings pace begging for an approval to a certain thing. Much to the grumpy golden Kings strong reject.
=_=: NO! .... Deal with that yourself!
^_^: But your Majesty, this is with outmost importance we should do this as high nobles of this kingdom.
( Bickering continues* )
Both highnesses walking at fast pace in the hallway for quite a while. Zess who is irritated of the matter, finally got to escape on his Lord cousins' persistent begging. As he continued wandering a bit more, The grumpy King noticed the change that is happening in the castle. It seemingly became alive than the usual dull atmosphere.
There are livelier pastel colors hanging and being displayed, than the usual black motif. A sight of lush greens on the castle grounds can be seen than the plain landscape view as well. It has been years where Zess managed to picture out the once alive Castle.
That was when the previous King and Queen where alive. After the passing, The castle has been on the mourning phase and nobody was allowed to change the mourning set up in fear of facing the Kings wrath. Leaving it to a sad scenery.
Zess once again heard Hiuhs' voice and instinctively ran while looking for a place to hide. The very unusual him who clings on his Eldest cousin, shows that the request was absurd enough to make him stay away on his cousin. He ended himself hiding inside the green house.
He was surprised how on earth can someone make the sorroundings feel calm and different. Walking closer over the humming tune He saw his Private Aide tending to the plants.
The castle grounds are in the middle of panic. Busy arranging things.
While on the other hand, Mary is tending her little garden merrily prancing and dancing around watering her so called little angels.
An amusing sight being seen by Zess is Mary baby talking with the plants. Much to the Kings' astonishment, holding back his mouth for a smirk.
" This Woman surely does not know shame and changes everything to her liking. She doesn't even know things around her is panicking while delightfully talks with the plants. "
// Somehow I felt relieved recently, but I do not understand why did I even go out my way finding her when shes not around. I feel restless. //
- After a while, the amusement became an astonishment. His eyes widened for a slow mo like scene.
The droplets seemed like crystals falling around her, accompanied by the sweet humm, seems like a beautiful summer fairy.
She spins round and round, as she sings
"Unconditionally longing, A cold field snowing.
White dyed in red, Then black to fade
Beauty of the soul, Thy radiance no foul
Farewell to light, Or rise to might"
The song ceased when She saw her master in the corner silently staring. Throwing off her balance. Shockingly, she was grabbed by His Majesty saving her from the fall.
=_=: ( sighs ) Woman you are such a handful.
>.<: Truly I apologize Your Highness, I did not mean to....
=_=: ( stares ) Clumsy....but I guess you will do
>.<: Goodness!...Am I going to be fired?
=_=: Almost.....but with a payback you'll be safe.
In a big Lovely garden, its just the two of us. Being up close to King Zess with his breathtaking looks and emerald eyes, no wonder He is undeniably dubbed as the most handsome royalty. Today was the closest I am to him.
Suddenly, He pulled me closer, grabbed my waist then slowly slid his hands unto mine. Our face got closer, He held me tighter....next thing I knew
.....
We were dancing....
I.....was....expecting something else.
( What a wishful thinking )
//Mary Giggles*//
=_=: Why are you giggling? Listen this is real dance!
- Mary grow up as commoner, she may be under the famous Dammes' care, but she refused to take lessons as she enjoyed the common life. So noble dances are not part of her lessons.
Zess assumed though, that shes taking lessons and approaches a for a spinning routine part of the dance. Mary, smart enough to cope up but upon approaching the highlight of the dance, she's throwing off balance.
>.<: No....wait Your Majesty, I do not know this dance....We'll fall.
//slips//
kyaaaah....>.<
// falls //
>.<: ( panic ) I'm sorry your Highness, are you hurt?!
=_=: I remember Damme Anne Du Voir as a well respected dignified elegant flower of the high society before. However, her disciple is...
>.<: It's my fault I prioritized taking Standard classes than the Noble etiquette class.
=_=: How so? are you not adopted by the Damme?
>.<: Well.....It is because that I am adopted...., that I do not want to burden the Damme with my presence. ( smiles* )
// both sits on the floor //
Me just having a family to consider, a warm food to eat a and shelter from the cold rain will suffice. Yet the kind Damme gave me more. Knowledge, love and freedom.
=_=: What are you talking about?
>.<: Ah!!...
Anyways, does my King need me for something?
- Mary noticed that she almost blurted her past life but quickly changed the subject.
....
....
The awkward silence lasted for a while. Good thing Lord Hiuh's timing is superb!
^_^: This is perfect you two are here!
His Excellency is waiting at the room.....
( Appears behind )
(^^): Lively are we here?, Given that....This greenhouse is gorgeous.
=_=: And what gives you the right to disturb my time with my lover?
>.<: Huh.....???? I am....your.....??
( His what??!! )
The Emperor made a sudden appearance to the Sun Castle. What will this bring to the 3 leads.
