When i got there, i sat. All i could stare at was that vanilla, that i swore i would taste tonight.
"Well, Rose. Am not really in the mood to say anything much. I need my bed, but i...i..i don't know why i can't sleep alone." The Prince said, and i felt cold shivers down my spine.
"I..i wanted to ask if...if you would like to sleep here with me." I was so thrilled, i couldn't laugh nor cry. I couldn't imagine he would have said that.
"Yeah sure." I nodded, and he gave a short smile. He asked me to get changed, and return to his chambers immediately. He was half Korean, so i decided to dress in the Korean style to please him.
Vivian directed me to a room, one even better than the last, and i saw some maids with the pillows, and sheets.
As i opened the closet, i wasn't surprised when i saw tons of Korean dresses. I picked out a blue and pink Korean dress, which had a pink knot. The maids sat me down, tied my hair into a bun, with the binyeo and decorated it with a flower and pearl hairpin, with a rose around my bun. It looked so pretty and traditional.
"You know what Princess Rose? Tonight is the night of Dancing Mistresses." One maid said.
"Now what's Dancing Mistresses?" I asked her.
"Its one of the challenges for TLW. All of you will dance for the Prince in two different teams." She replied and i smiled. So that's why she was dressing me up.
I stood up, as Vivian came in with a list. She explained to me that we were gonna be five in a team.
"You are the leader of the second team; and your team members are Kanya, Kylie,Princess Angelina, and Bella." Vivian told me.
"May i know the first team members?" I asked her.
'Their leader is Princess Sapphira. The members are, Song Daiyu, Jenner, Stella and Scarlett." She revealed.
Wasn't Sapphira arrested? Thank Goodness. Leader to Leader. I smirked as i went out of the chamber. The Prince wasn't in the mood as he said. So he wasn't planning to show up. But surprisingly, he showed up.
"Prince, i thought you'd be resting." I whispered. He sat on his throne as i went to see my team members. We screamed on seeing each other. They were so gorgeous. Kanya was wearing the traditional golden Thai dress, with so many decorations in her hair. Kylie and Bella were wearing ball gowns, while Princess Angelina wore a beautiful short kilt and a black top.
We went off to the chamber given to us for rehearsals. Vivian was standing there with us, watching them twist and dance, and she was shocked when she saw me just sitting.
"What happened Rose?" She asked and i grinned.
"Am sorry i can't dance...." Vivian gasped and her face turned paper white.
"Then...then...then how are you supposed to win points for the TLW??" She whispered.
"I...i think i should just give up." I sighed.
"Try to do something. Even if its a comic dance." She convinced me and got up. Everyone gasped as soon as i started dancing. Kylie and Kanya were clapping while Bella and Princess Angelina were staring at me.
Soon, i finished dancing, and the girls couldn't help but clap. A few minutes later, the huge palace bells started ringing, as we rushed downstairs. The palace was empty, but Vivian came and let us out. There was a beautiful garden filled with lights, and then my eyes caught a brighter light.
I turned around and i saw no one but Sapphira. She wore a off-the-shoulder pink puff gown, with a sapphire headband in her hair. She wore glass slippers, and looked gorgeous anyway.
I went towards her, as she plucked some flowers.
"You used to love these flowers. Why the heck did you leave me and..." She turned around and burst into tears, crying on my shoulders.
Seriously?
I slowly pushed her away, and she looked away, a little bit uncomfortable. I wiped her tears, and her makeup was already smudged.
"Am sorry...May i know what...what happened?" I asked her but she ran off.
"Sapphira?"
"Its nothing to worry about." She said and entered the palace. Song Daiyu and Jenner came running. I stared at them in awe.
Song Daiyu was wearing the most beautiful, and the heaviest red traditional Chinese dress, her hair was tied in a bun and golden headdresses which i had no idea about. Jenner was wearing an off-the-shoulder blue puff gown, and she had braids.
"You look cool girls." I complimented.
"You're not looking bad either.' They smiled.
"Now where's our psycho leader?" Jenner asked and we chuckled.
"She just ran off crying. It looks like she's mourning someone." I told them and they laughed.
"Do you mean someone that love white roses?" Song Daiyu asked.
"Yeah."
"Queen Jennie." They said and scurried off.
"WHAT? QUEEN JENNIE??" I yelled but they just went to join the rest on the queue.
"My pleasant courtiers, it is a pleasure to see you are here. I also had to come, leaving my mother in the doctor's care. Unfortunately, we won't be needing the mistresses to dance for us, for today. These girls will showcase their talent, here. You see, i love very talented dancers...." They didn't wait for the Prince to finish as music started. The girls rushed inside and started doing a comic dance! Everyone burst into laughter as they showcased their funny moves in the grass, under the moon and the twinkling stars.
In a blink of an eye, Sapphira flew in out of nowhere and just burst out crying. Everyone gasped and the Prince stood from his throne.
"Wait...what if.." I rushed into the palace, checked the court, dining and darted upstairs to Queen Leah's room. I saw her alone in the room, unconscious. I ran towards her to check if she was alive. Thankfully, she was breathing. As i ran towards the door, someone locked the door from behind.
"What????!!!" I nearly cried as i realized it didn't budge when i pulled it.
This must have been Sapphira's doing.
I cried hard as i realized, the team couldn't do it without me. I turned back to look at Queen Leah. She was opening her eyes. I ran towards her bed, and rubbed her palm.
"My Queen...."
"Rosalia....is that you??" The Queen asked weakly and i chuckled.
"Am not Rosalia. Its just Rose."
"Permit me to call you anything i seem fit.
