Okay, let's go" she said after taking deep breaths and silently praying for her husband's safety, halsey led her out the room after helping her change into a better gown. Elaine strodded out of the room and walked along the hall but suddenly stopped realizing that someone was following her so she turned and finally took notice of one of her new reinstated elite. It was the red head 'micheal' and he was standing next to Halsey with a Knight's uniform
Elaine looked at him in confusion and came closer with a pirercing gaze fixed on him for answers
"Your highness, the three of us heard that the prince wanted a personal knight for you and we thought since we are your elites, one of us should protect you and not someone else, we all volunteered but the prince choosed me your highness" he quickly explained
"When was this?" She asked with sparkles in her eyes
"Four days ago your highness " he said with his head bowed low. Elaine felt her heart ache so badly on hearing that but gathered her emotions
"Did he make you battle with anyone?" She asked dryly
"No your highness, he just looked at me for a while and choosed me" he explained
'i don't want to take a guess but I think my husband is starting to get suspicious ' she thought and sighed
She didn't speak anymore and just headed straight for the crown prince's courtyard. On getting there she realized that his courtyard looked more luxurious than that of Alexander, but she had her mind set on one thing. The questions kept increasing and the only person that could answer them isn't even here to answer, she felt she would go crazy soon.
The crown prince had assigned maids to lead her into the garden and when she got there, the smell that welcomed here was overwhelming. The smell of the blue rose flower was something she couldn't get tired of. It calmed her senses, the smell completely similar to that of her husband. She took in a long throat full of the scent and calmly approached Kevin who was already awaiting her at the small gazebo in the middle of the garden. She sat at the gazebo with the prince and a smile appeared on her face as she noticed a bunch of blue rose flowers in the middle of the small table as though the flowers had calmed her down from her worries. To others she just loved the flowers for it's fragrance but to her she loved the way it reminded her of her husband who she missed dearly
" You seem to really like the blue rose flower that you didn't even hear my greetings" the crown prince said with a smile
"Oh am sorry crown prince, greetings to you" she said feeling embarrassed
"It's okay, I also love the blue rose, that's why I always take my afternoon tea here" he said with a bright smile. He was happy to see her smiling this way after days of trying to get her attention. 'ill always make you smile more in the future, by then you'd be all mine'he said to himself
Elaine finally drifted her attention off the flowers to Kevin and saw he was smiling triumphantly. She cleared her throat and spoke lightly
"Thank you for inviting me Kevin" she said while taking sips of tea.
"I guess the you knows my favorite tea is lemon tea" she decided to drop the formalities days back after his constant pestering
"I asked your personal maid and she helped me with that information and I should be thanking you for coming Elaine" he said and got up from his seat a walking closer to Elaine. He slowly bent downwards and grabbed a blue rose, sniffed in the scent and put it perfectly on the side of Elaine's hair
"Um- thank you " she was happy she could take this blue rose to her room. Blue roses are extremely rare and are treasures to the Alvanian kingdom
"That's a gift to show my gratitude" he simply said making her blush lightly. Kevin suddenly got closer and closer to her face but she didn't notice him because she felt sudden chills, chills that could only be given by her husband. Only his presence could give her goosebumps, and his aura would make her hold in her breath. She frantically got up from her seat and looked around the garden but found no one
"What are you looking for" he asked , she turned around and faced Kevin
"Thank you for the tea, it was really nice and the flowers are beautiful but I shall take my leave now" she tried to sound patient but she really couldn't hide it
"O-okay, let me send you back -"
"Bye" she said cutting him off and walking as fast as she could to her courtyard
Once she got back to her courtyard she met Halsey right outside her door and asked if her husband had gotten back yet but Halsey nodded negatively. Slowly and with a saddened expression Elaine entered her big and lonely bedroom quietly. She stood at the middle of the room with clenched fists and the tears she had been holding up and hiding began to fall like the damp that was supposed to be holding it had completely crumbled
"Stop hiding and come out. Please I can't take it anymore" she said to no one I'm particularly
"Please stop, please. This is so unfair, how could you do this to me. You love seeing me cry so much then just hurt me but be-" her words got caught off by a sudden kiss. Like a magic gust of wind she felt a soft warm wet lips pressed against her's from the first contact she already knew he was the one. Her beloved husband whom she missed and longed for was finally here kissing her lips.
She opened her mouth letting him devour the insides and she kissed him fiercely as if trying to make up for all the times he wasn't there, she was pouring out her anger and frustration into that kiss and so was Alexander.
