Celine was in the garden watching the clouds. The crown prince Alexandro was doing the court meeting .
What if she should join Mellitus and the others and drink? They would gladly accept because she was their boss in someways.
Then a thought came to her. Today was her sister, Amaya's birthday. She was living a luxurious life in the palace and forgot her sister . That her birthday was today and she was far away from her, in another kingdom.
She needed to tell the crown prince Alexandro that today was the birthday of someone special.
She needed to tell him.
***
The court room was noisy because of a suggestion made by the crown prince Alexandro. "Why do we need to open an elite event hall when we have two large ones. It's not making any sense ", the crown prince Alexandro said.
"Your highness, the crown prince ", it was the minister of defense. "This project will go a long way in helping us, your highness. It could raise revenue and very effective for tourism", he said and bowed. He went to his normal position _ at the front.
The queen sighed. "I should sign it ", she said and the crown prince Alexandro mopped his brows. " The budget. Don't tell me you'll have tax animals also", he said.
"We do ", assured the minister of finance.
Just as the queen wanted to say something, the door opened. Everyone stared at the intruder.
It was Celine.
" What is the lady Celine doing here?" The queen asked.
Shit which kind of trouble is this.
"I'm sorry ", she said trying to go back. "Stop there, you miscreant ", she said and Celine stopped abruptly.
What kind of mess did I get myself into.
" What are you doing here?" She asked again. Celine just stood staring at the queen's forever blue eyes.
" I wanted to see the crown prince. I thought the meeting was over ", she said knowing fully well that it would anger the queen... And it did.
Murmurs decorated the well lit room that it suddenly became hard to breathe or think. They all knew the lady Celine, but didn't know a reason why she was kept in the palace.
" You have altered and sinned against God and the symbol of authority by coming to this sacred heart of Xavier", she said standing.
Really what's she saying.
The heart of Xavier to everyone is the bedroom at night...
But that means I'm going to die soon... Shit.
"I, queen Thalia of the rising sun of Cilia, Xavier, will behead you"
I'm really going to die.
The queen made to walk towards Celine when the crown prince Alexandro spoke. "Don't you hurt her, mother!" He said in a dignified way looking all cool and dangerous.
"She deserves death", the queen said.
Yeah right ,what do you deserve , huh, hell.
"If you lay a hand on her hair_" he stood and took a sword from it's sheet hanging on the wall.
The crown prince Alexandro played with the sword in the most dangerous of ways, then his dark eyes turned darker than death. He cut himself with the sword and smiled. "_it would be your throat next", he said and she gulped holding her throat.
All eyes were no longer on the two but on Celine. She was the evil villianess who made mother and son fight.
But they hadn't been in good terms since he came out of the day he was brought into the world.
"I'll go", she said but the queen was quick, she turned and left the room.the meeting was not closed, but looking at it,it seemed as if it was... No it was closed.
They all bowed and left stealing glances not at the crown prince Alexandro but at she, the villianess of the day. The despise and hatred in their eyes made her feel...
Like my old self.
"You did cause a lot of problems sweetheart", he said and she smiled. "Sorry, I thought the meeting was over", she said in the most innocent way.
"So, why did you come?" He asked moving away from her. "Today is the birthday of someone special", she said.
He said nothing at first, then she saw the face green with jealousy, it was thrilling. How could being jealous make someone thrilled.
"It's a girl, your highness", she said and he smiled. "I didn't say a thing, Cel", he said and she laughed. That music she made with her lips, he loved hearing it. It was like oil on the athletes flank.
"Who's she?" He asked and she smiled at him. She walked over to him and patted him. "My friend", she said.
My sister.
"So I need to celebrate her", she said and he nodded.
They walked to the garden where some maids were sitting gossipping. When they sighted the crown prince Alexandro, they stood to their feet and bowed low still blushing.
They left them alone and Celine made him sit. "You know, I really like the way you stood up to your mother", she said and he laughed. "I couldn't watch getting my sweetheart die", he said and she laughed. "Me die? "
Me sweetheart?
" Thats a sour joke, don't you know I'm a disaster", she said and he nodded.
"I'm like a working disaster, your highness. Like virus and bacteria, I cause trouble wherever I go", she said and he raised her head so she could look at him.
"You should always cause trouble", he said and she chuckled.
"Why?" She asked and he laughed then turned serious. " Because, I will always be there to save you", he said and she laughed.
How did she escape this, running into the queen, meeting the officials during their meeting hour, being thrown in the pool twice and having a near death experience... It was him.
He had been saving her since she entered the palace. She owed him big time. "What are you thinking of?" He asked and she laughed. "Me I was thinking of the lord Alec", she said and he frowned.
Celine laughed. "Just kidding "
He said nothing. "I can see jealousy written all over your face, your highness ", she said and he kissed her surprising her.
"You're disaster, sweetheart ".
