Lillia rode with Aiden back to the castle, with many thoughts in her mind. She had merely left him and had wanted to avoid all the look and stares, she felt suffocated and needed air. She only left and was called back by a guard, she remembered how reluctant she was go back, the garden she was in was beautiful, fluttered with dozens of butterfly and flies.
She followed the guard back to the aisle only to see Aiden look stern while being aimed spears, his serious guard protecting him. The two big scary men faced him with a look of hatred.
Everyone was looking at him with different expression, she suddenly felt pity for him for a minute. He looked alone, facing the two big men who looked like they ganged up on him and he was left to face them alone. Looking at him now, he seemed to be the youngest among them all, so she could understand what was going wrong a little.
She peeked at him, taking in his calm features, he didn't look like someone who amongst got into a fight. But something changed in his face, he looked troubled.
"My mum use to say that if you say your troubles out it might reduce the Borden",she blurted out, it sounds some how coming from her mouth to him. She really wanted to hear his problems, she wanted to know him well, since he was her husband she might as well make the marriage work to her very best, even if he was in love with another woman, she could at least bare with it as long as both their heart didn't beat for each other, right?.
She heard him chuckle, turning to look at her. He was so tall that he had to look really down at her. Her lips straighten at his gaze,why was his gaze burning?.
"Don't tell me you are interested to know about me?",he smirked at her looking at her small face.
"I...I don't know. Forget I asked",she suddenly regretted her actions.
Aiden watched her pout like a little child who had been refused sweet. A low rumbling chuckle fell out from his mouth again.
"It looks like my wife really want to know me,why wouldn't I tell her",he said getting her attention, he watched her blue eyes turn to face him again, her dampen mood reduced.
"What your questions, things you would like to know?",he asked. He rarely allowed people to ask him what he was infact all his information was only known by one person in the entire world.
Lillia thought about the question she should ask him first but she had so many questions to ask.
"What your name ?",she asked, staring deep at his green forest eyes to read his mind.
A small smile lifted at the corner of his lips.
"My name is...Ai... lillia",he said. Lillia went furious, was he using her to play, what nonsense. She should have knowned that this suppose king was playing with her. She turned around sharply to face the other side, she wasn't going to talk to him again. How dare him use her to play?.
Aiden smiled seeing her act angry, her small fist that where on her lap turned white from the clenching.
"You look cute when you are angry",he blurted out. Lillia was shocked at this, her face turned to him, her anger increased, he wasn't even moved by her anger instead he was complimenting her. She really want to punch his handsome perfect face. She looked away, looking like a boiled bean.
"My name is Aiden",she heard his calm deep voice that sounded like music in her ears. She wasn't quite sure if he was saying the truth so she didn't look back at him again, refusing to let him play with her like he just did.
"Am serious this time, Aiden is my name",he reassured her, it was clear that he knew she wasn't trusting him. This time she turned to look at him, he was still facing her so her eyes locked with his. She really didn't know what his green eyes did to her, it reminded her of gardens, beautiful ones.
"Any other question?".
"Aiden',she whispered his name slowly, the name sounded okay, it suited him well. She didn't see how Aiden clenched his hands hard as his throat and brain tighten at the way she called his name. She called his name like a prayer, he felt his member harden a Little.
"F**k",he thought, turning away. Only God knows how he so wanted to grab her and pin her against the carriage, he wanted her full soft lips on his.
"Where are your parents?",she asked again, getting his attention. His eyes narrowed immediately when she asked the question, he looked down at her not saying anything. Lillia felt like she asked a wrong question and he didn't look like he was ready to answer her and that immediately heighten her curiosity about him.
"Whose peter to you?",she asked her other top question.
"My right hand man", he answered as if she just asked a stupid question.
Lillia didn't feel like peter was just his right hand man, they seemed more like friends.
"Now I want to know my wife",aiden said. Lillia cheeks went a little red on hearing him call her his wife, it was like a declaration.
"What....what do you ...want to... know?",she asked. It was only fair that she answered a question from him since he answered her's, well a little".
"Who do you like",he suddenly asked.
Her eyes looked at him in confusion.
What kind of question was that?. That was the last thing she thought he would ask. But the question was just too....cliche.
"Eh...my mom ",she answered.
"Apart from your mother?",he pressed on.
"Julius",she replied.
She suddenly saw Aiden eyes turned dark, his green eyes that shone with glimmers darken, turning to darkness.
"Julius is my best friend",she added wanting to reassure him but why?
Why was he acting like this ?, Was he jealous?,how was he jealous when he had a lover?.
Aiden went mad with jealousy when she said a man's name. Why wasn't he among people she liked, why wasn't he the second person she liked?.
And worst, why was he angry?.
But he cooled down when she said the Julius was her best friend and the way she looked when she revealed who Julius made him sure that he was just a friend to her.
Lillia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the brightness of his eyes return, a sigh that she didn't know she was holding out.
They talked for a little while, mostly lillia telling him about her life at her town, she suddenly felt sad remembering about her town and Aiden would give small jokes and she would immediately lighten up and laugh. Aiden really enjoyed the moments a little, he got to know her a little bit, and he felt intrigued about her world and how it was.
They finally got at the castle, the door was opened and they both came down hand in hand, with a touch of happiness. As they walked in to the Castle, they met with Rose.
An angry one.
