WORDS OF THE HEART
***Chapter 7***
GLORIA
I don't know how Patrice knew I was having affairs with Sylvain but I don't care. And after all it's my body and I do what I want with it. So if he's here, it's to blackmail me into giving up my body to him but he's fooling himself because you don't play these things with me.
Me: I still don't know what you are talking about Patrice.
Him (imitating my words): yes bla bla bla I am impatient to see how you will react when madam the queen will be informed.
Me: informed of what.
Him: that you sleep with Sylvain.
Me: um tell me what you want?
Him: Well, now you're getting to the heart of the matter. How would you like to have sex with me?
Me: No way.
Him: Don't forget that the Queen can kick you out as soon as I inform her.
Me: Just for that?
Him: yes because you have a body and a shape that is out of the ordinary.
Me: hahahaha!
Him(amazed): But what makes you laugh?
Me: I knew you were an idiot but not at this point.
Him: ah well!
Imagine that from the moment he was talking about my body I took the trouble to record everything he said in my phone that I played to him.
Him: no but...tell me what you plan to do with it.
Me: use it in front of the queen if you don't get out of here soon.
And without saying anything more, he left when I locked the door against which I leaned, wiping the sweat off my forehead. Then some time later, I went to bed

FERNANDO
I saw Belvida packing up her things and told me she was getting married to someone else.
Me: but darling don't do that to me please.
Her: no forget about me and make your life with the one who is destined to you.
Me: but you are my destiny. How can I live without you? Please don't go away.
She stood there watching me as I approached her and then her face changed to Luna's.
Me: So it was you?
Her: of course it was me.
Me: you can go away it's not you I want.
Her: yet you just begged me to stay!
Me: no, it wasn't you I was talking to.
I left her to want to leave when she took me by the arm and her face becomes Belvida's again.
She: so what is your decision?
Me: I want you to stay.
Then she took off my shirt and started to caress my chest when everything becomes dark all of a sudden. Oh it was a dream! I now open my eyes after scratching them to meet the eyes of Princess Luna sitting next to me on the bed and lightly caressing my chest. As soon as I saw her, I jumped up and pushed her away impetuously.
Me: What are you doing here?
She (smiling at me)...
Me: And who told you to come to my house?
She: but darling you are not happy to see me?
Me: I am not your darling...
I barely held her hands that kept traveling on my chest with mine that I have not left yet when the door opens on Belvida. I assure you that as soon as she saw me half-naked on the bed and holding Luna's hands, she let out a tear that ran down her cheek. Meanwhile, I quickly abandoned Luna's hands and then quickly covered myself with the sheet of my bed when my heart was pounding.
Belvida: Oh no, not that!
Me: honey wait until I explain. It's not what you think.
Her: no don't bother. I shouldn't have come here.
She left like a flash, sobbing, while Luna was stunned and astonished as if she had just seen a ghost. As for me, I got up quickly from the bed and before running after Belvida, I told Luna to leave before I came back. Once in the courtyard, I saw one of Luna's guards standing next to her carriage talking to a girl wearing the uniform of my father's maids.
Then I saw Andrea, my cleaning lady, cleaning the windows. I ignored them all by opening my gate and then I saw Belvida from afar who was stopping a cab behind which I started to run with all my strength shouting his name but it was a lost cause. I then turned back to the house all furious.
Me (addressing my father's servant): Hey you!
She(bowing): hello my prince.
Me: I guess it was you who brought Luna here. It wasn't my father's idea by any chance?
The guard: you mean princess Luna?
Me: What do I have to do with you? In fact, get out of my house.
Him: I'm the princess' guard and I won't move from here without her.
Me: How? Would you dare to defy me?
So Luna appeared and ordered her dog to follow her so they could leave. I watched them go away then I returned to my room to dress and I went out again to enter in car ordering to Andrea to open me the portal.
She: but my prince you leave?
Me: I don't have time for the questions now.
She: but my prince, the breakfast is ready.
Me: later there I don't have time now.
She opened the gate to me when I started my car like a rocket to find myself after a few minutes in front of the palace of my father when I see there the servant of a moment ago to leave the car of Luna that started and went away. So I entered and gave a point to a guard who seemed to forget my principles and he leaned against the wall to regain his balance.
Me: where are you father?
Him: Going out to the courtyard with a crown on his head and a cane in his hand.
Him: What is it, my son? First of all, is this a good way to greet a king?
Me: Spare me from your lousy royalty.
Mother (appears): my son I forbid you to address your father in this way.
Me: Mother I am very disappointed in you. It is not good at all, you know?
Father: my son, come and sit inside so we can talk about it.
Me: I will not come. How dare you show Luna my home?
Mother: isn't she your fiancée?
Me: in the register of forced marriage, isn't she? Tell me why you threatened Belvida's parents to tell me to leave their daughter alone.
Father: calm down or you will regret it.
Me: I prefer to get out of here as soon as possible.

LUNA
The prince quickly looked for a blanket and then followed this slut who is supposed to be no longer of this world.
Him: you I don't want to see you here when I return.
I remained a few moments more on the bed before getting up and once on the court I see him scolding Patrice my guard when I told this last one to start the car so that we go away. We first went to drop off the maid that King Oscar had entrusted to us before taking the road to my palace when Fernando showed up with his car covering us with a swirl of dust. Um we left anyway without shooting back and then my car stopped at the palace when I see my father sitting there with my mother under the straw hut talking. And as soon as they saw me in this state, my father knew immediately the reasons of my fury.
He: my daughter, what's wrong?
Me: father everything is fine but I will return later because I have things to settle with Sylvain.
Mother: do you have a problem with him?
Me: no, nothing serious.
So I left them and went to ask my servants where Sylvain was. And Gloria gave me his place where I went to find him in conversation with other guards, so much so that they didn't even feel my presence.
One guard: I'm not good with girls.
Another: I can't resist any girl.
The first: tell me how you do it.
Sylvain: It's very simple, brother. You just have to know how to talk.
The second: exactly and that's not all.
The first one: oh well! What else?
Sylvain: You have to be good in bed.
The first one: oh well!
Me (furious): Because you, Sylvain, you know how to handle yourself when you are given a task, perhaps?
The other two (straightening up): Hello princess.
I didn't even answer them when I signaled Sylvain to follow me. He followed me when Gloria, the maid doing the laundry, abandoned everything to observe us. We barely entered my room when I slapped Sylvain with all my strength that I concentrated in my hands.
Me: you idiot.
Him (holding the cheek): but what have I done my princess?
Me: you lied to me
Him: lied? About what?
So I told him everything I had lived this morning.
Him (thoughtful): that cook would have changed Belvida's dish. It is the only explanation that can exist.
Me: you are a fool.
He was in the process of explaining himself briefly to try to console me when they knock at my door.
Me: yes, enter!
A servant (entering): excuse me my princess.
Me: what do you want?
She(bowing): you have a visitor.
Me: visit?
Her: yes my princess.
Me: and who is this?
Her: he is a man that I have never seen before.
Me: well tell him that I arrive.
She: right away your highness.
Me (speaking to Sylvain): and then you! What did you say?
Him: Well, I was saying that I will have to use the big means.
Me: by what?
Him: as she goes out late, I will wait for her in a corner to cut her throat with a knife.
Me: Perfect. But this time don't disappoint me anymore.
Him: I promise, princess.
We left my room, Sylvain and I, to go to the courtyard when I saw a young man dressed in white, looking like a submarine on a mission. He must have been in his thirties, and as soon as he saw me, he broke away from my parents to come and meet me with a package in hand.
Him (bowing): my respects your highness.
Me: Yes, what do you wish?
Him: I am Gildas of the restaurant Peace and Love.
Me: ah I hope that you brought me what I asked you.
Him (handing me the package): yes and here it is.
I open the package and taste the meal I ordered, it was unmistakable. So I gave him an envelope then I asked him to bring me crepe au suzette for the next day then he went away.

GILDAS
I prepared the fish dumpling ordered by the princess and waited for Thomas or someone else to come so I could go to the royal palace to make the delivery because I was here alone all night watching a young man who had been drinking excessively and couldn't touch the wheel of his car. And he slept all night here at the restaurant when his friends abandoned him. Then he looks like he's not from here because of his accent. Finally a waitress arrived and I gave her instructions before going to the princess's palace after a fifteen minute drive. I then knocked at the gate when one of the guards poked his head in to ask me what I wanted.
Me: Hello sir, I come to make a delivery to the princess.
Him: what kind of delivery?
Me: pastry.
He opens the door and I enter the huge palace, looking around. I see then a man so charismatic it is undoubtedly the king. I approached him in the middle of a discussion with his wife.
Him: do you have any idea where Alexis would be now?
She: no, but I'm worried
Him: I'll have to ask the guards to go and get him.
She: but he is not a kid after all. He....
Me (bowing): my respects your majesty
Him: yes stranger! What do you want?
Me: I am a cook. And the princess ordered some food that I brought to her.
So the king ordered a princess to inform the princess of my presence and after five minutes I saw the princess coming out of a room followed by a guard whose face looks familiar. But I remember now. He was the one who tried to poison Belvida. So if I understand correctly this impostor would have received orders from the princess to murder Belvida because according to what Belvida had told me, the princess was lusting after the prince. Now I understand everything. So I must inform Belvida of this discovery.
Me: my respects my princess.
She: yes, who are you?
Me: I'm Gildas from Peace and Love restaurant.
Her: ah okay you brought me my lunch?
Me (handing her the package): yes, here it is.
She took it and started tasting it right away and ordered another one for tomorrow, paying me in cash. So I thanked her and then my eyes met the poisoner's as I was heading out and I bet he recognized me too. I barely made it to the gate when a car I recognize honked its horn and then the guards opened the gate for it. The driver then rolled down the windows of the car to show me maybe his face. But him? What is he doing here?
