Agememnom still worried. 'Was she really going to come?'. He kept on asking himself. And had faith that she would. He really wanted to get his revenge.
The day had finally come, and his thoughts would be concluded. He had tried to imagine how he would get his revenge on her. So many things came to his head, but when he sees her he would know how to get his revenge.
He was in his bath and some maids helped him. He didn't act mischievous this time and didn't flirt with any of them, because he had someone else in his mind. 'Elixia'.
He kept on imagining how grown she would be. They helped him dress and dressed his hair.
"Your thoughts would be concluded today, Agememnom". Run Ni Tama said as he excuses the maids. "Look how grown you look". He said and Agememnom gave him a dead stare. He laughed a little. Agememnom looked at his reflection in the mirror to see if everything was in place.
"You look like you are expecting someone. Who is she?". Run Ni Tama asked out of curiosity. "Who else if not Elixia. I have to appear nice to get my revenge, cause she appeared as someone interested in such things". Agememnom demonstrated.
"Material things? I don't think so". Run Ni Tama suggested. "So in what way do you want to get you revenge?". Run Ni Tama.
"I have so many ways in my head. Seeing her will determine how I get my revenge". He said and applied some lip balm. "Do you plan on kissing her today?". Run Ni Tama asked in confusion.
"Let's see how it goes". He said. "You don't even know her? What of she's a minor?". Run Ni Tama asked. "A kiss with a minor wouldn't harm". Agememnom answered nonchalantly and moved to apply the lip balm on Run Ni Tama's lips.
"You really are crazy. How did we manage to become best of friends?". Run Ni Tama asked as he ran from Agememnom. "That question should be directed to you". Agememnom said.
"Hold on". Agememnom tried to stop Run Ni Tama as he ran from him.
"Finally". Agememnom said as Run Ni Tama sat out of tiredness. He went and sat with him. Then applied it on his lips. Run Ni Tama didn't refuse, cause he knew Agememnom wouldn't stop untill he saw that thing on his lips.
"Let go for a walk round the palace. What do you say?". Agememnom suggested. "Your wish is my command for today your majesty". Run Ni Tama courtesied. And Agememnom chuckled.
They wore simply clothes as per Agememnom's instructions and snuck out the room.
The got to the palace gates where and Agememnom planned another mischief. He walked to the guards and whispered in their ears.
"The king ordered I collect the invitations. The guards looked at each other and wandered off. Run Ni Tama laughed at his act.
Then they both moved forward to the crowds. "Please do not rush we shall collect invitations now". Run Ni Tama spoke out with loud voice to the crowds. Each invitation his family.
None caught Agememnom to flirt with. And Run Ni Tama was starting to get tired. "Is any one of you the prince?". A lady asked. And Agememnom replied with a question.
"Why do you ask?". "Because". She hid her flushed face. "Because you are both handsome". She said shyly. A girl from spoke.
"You are causing a delay". Agememnom wanted to know where the voice spoke from but the girl covered from her nose to jaw with a piec of clothing.
"Yes please". The other lady beside the one who spoke complimented.
No other lady besides her wore a piece of clothing on the half the face.
"I'm so sorry". The lady who asked about the prince said and walked in. Then came forward the family of Johnbones. His wife and his daughters. He moved his daughters forward. One wearing a very beautiful ball gown and the other trousers with half her covered with a piece of clothing.
Agememnom squatted to look through her legs. To know of he saw clearly. And to his confirmation, she was.
He looked up at her and saw one of her eyebrow raised. He laughed nervously as he stood up. "I was just surprised to see a lady wear trousers and have to give off the posture of a queen". He said to her.
"It's her pattern. She does like to act like a queen and daunt everyone with her confidence". Vistuler said.
Agememnom turned to look at Run Ni Tama who at Vistuler.
"You look handsome to be a guard here. I'm sure you would look more handsome than the prince himself". Vistuler complimented and Agememnom rose an eyebrow. Then she stretched out her hand for a kiss on her knuckles.
Run Ni Tama did as she pleased. And Gruticent pulled Vistuler's ear. "You are still a minor. Don't try to fall into the trap of boys". "But he is handsome and he should get to know that". She stated her point.
Agememnom got bored and looked at the girl who stood in front of him with a pair of trousers.
Behind Elixia stood Johnbones and behind Vistuler stood Lady Miss Gruticent.
"Well, you would have to remove this cloth on your face". Agememnom said and tried to remove it but Elixia was quick to ceased his hand and twisted it to his back. "You should wait for your permission to be granted before you touch something". She whispered into his ear.
"Vistuler". Lady miss Gruticent called and Elixia left his hand.
"My apologies". She said and pulled her ear with her in. The girl didn't flinch but she showed sign of being in pain by dimming her eyes.
"Let's meet again". Vistuler said as she was dragged in by her father.
Agememnom stretched his hand and looked at the girl and her family. Some kept intriguing him to know more about her. Her eyes were beautiful and they looked exactly like that of Elixia. Or did she close half her face because of the scar? His eyes widened at the thought that came to his head.
He looked back at Run Ni Tama who still stared at the place where they followed. "Hey. Hey ". He shook Run Ni Tama to reality. "Looks like one has gotten your attention". He said as he held his neck. Run Ni Tama smirked and turned to face him.
"Didn't anyone get hold your attention?". "Of course". "Let me guess?". Run Ni Tama looked thoughtfully."The one with trousers". He suggested. "Of course". The guards returned to their normal position as Agememnom gestured them to.
Then they went to get ready for the celebration.
They snuck back into the palace and into his room only to be met by the king. They were startled to see him but Agememnom waved it off with an uneasy laughter. Then the king looked at him and he stopped and bowed his head along with Run Ni Tama.
"Where were you two?". Anawmim asked as he paced in front of both of them.
The both of them gave him silence as their reply.
"You both dare to give me silence as a reply?". "We went to the gates to assist the guards in receiving invitations". Run Ni Tama answered.
"Get dressed. The celebration is about to start". The king said and left.
The king had a soft spot for Run Ni Tama. So he felt safe anytime he was with Agememnom.
They got dressed and ran out the room. Run Ni Tama was being chased by Agememnom as he tried to apply the lip balm on his lips again. They ran into the hall where people were seated.
Run Ni Tama stoped when he noticed the crowd. Agememnom didn't and went ahead to rub the lip balm on his lips.
"I won again, Run Ni...". Agememnom paused a he turned to see the crowd staring at them wide eyed. The king and queen weren't disappointed as they like the scence they created.
Everyone kept their eyes fixed at them. Some even whispered.
********
"Aren't those the boys who stood as guards?". Vistuler whispered to Elixia and she turned to see them. "What were they doing here and why were they dressed like that?". She subconsciously asked out.
*******
"Agememnom looked at the crowd and caught sight of the girl who covered her face. And she looked away immediately their eyes locked. A smirk climbed his face. And he whispered something into Run Ni Tama's ear.
Then Run Ni Tama lead the movement.
*******
"He is the prince. He is the prince!". Vistuler shook Elixia and shouted the last sentence, stealing everyone's attention.
She turned to look at everyone and caught sight of Run Ni Tama staring at her. She shyly smiled and he also smiled.
Agememnom couldn't help but laugh at their reaction. Then he pushed him to move him forward.
"Elixia silently stole glances at Agememnom. She couldn't deny they were both handsome but the guy behind was much more handsome only and he emitted pride like he was a prince.
Elixia lost in her thought kept staring at Agememnom and didn't know when he started to stare at her. When she noticed she looked down and looked back at him.
Agememnom on the other hand didn't know but she really looked like Elixia. And their first meeting she pinned him. So did this one. He would get a better view of her when she come to show forth her skill or talent.
WHAT WOULD HER TALENT OR SKILL BE?
He questioned internally and went to sit.
