When morning came Ephraim looked at the sleeping girl in his arms and he sighed because he doesn't have the heart to wake her up.He decided to leave the bed and prepare for the day because they have to get back home before his work pile up to the extent that he will have to do over nights,which he doesn't want because he enjoy the feeling of his beauty in his arms.By the time he finished using the bathroom and came out dressed he shook his head at the still sleeping fairy,it seems i will have to ask her hand maid to wake her up and prepare her for the journey.With that thought in mind he went straight down the receiving room to find his father in-law loading something in a jar.
"What is that father in-law?"
'This? (Charles pointed at the jar on the floor).Nothing much i'm just preparing my daughter's wedding gift I hope that you take care of her when she gets to your kingdom.As you can see she is a very silent girl who wouldn't speak out even when she was bullied by the villagers,she has been like that ever since her tenth year birthday,from the night that her mother left' Charles said to him in a guilty voice.
"Don't worry father i will protect her at all cost.As from now on she would never be treated as a scum" Ephraim reassured his father in-law who nodded at him.
'Let us go and help your aide out he has been outside trying to pack my daughter stuffs' Charles said before carrying the jar to the carriage and he was blocked on his way by Epharaim who collected the jar from him without saying anything.Charles then smiled at his behavior and then said 'you don't really have to be so respectful towards me,you are still a prince'.
"I will try me best not to but i can't promise you because i want to have a good reputation with your daughter" Ephraim said to him and Charles opened the door for him so that they could go outside to where the royal carriage and the load carriage was packed.
'Good morning your highness,Mr.Charles' Damon greeted immediately he saw them and they nooded at him.Ephraim then looked at Kayla who was helping his aide and signaled for her to go and prepare her lady for their journey and she left to do as ordered,then Damon,Ephraim and Charles continued with the task at hand.
At Euphorial's room,
'My lady i'm here should i come in?' Kayla asked but she was answered by the grunting of Euphorial who didn't want to stay out of bed.Kayla immediately opened the door to take care of her.
'It is time to wake up or else Mr.Ephraim will abandon you' Kayla tried to threaten her but she was suprised to see her threat work.The sleeping Euphorial immediately wake up from her slumber when she heard her female friend's words.
"Ephraim is leaving? Tell me you are joking Kayla" she jumped out of bed when she saw her shrug as if it is possible and Kayla laughed out loud when she saw how her lady was behaving.
'Relax i'm just joking you yourself know that he will never leave you so what are you scared of?' Kayla asked as she began to prepare her bath.
"I don't know maybe i'm just afraid because i thought he has heard about the rumours,you know of me being a witch".
'Don't think like that.I know Mr.Ephraim likes you he just haven't known it yet that is why he is so obsesssive,even if he heard something from the market i don't think he will abandon you because of that.You are too beautiful to let go'.Kayla reminded her which boosted her self confidence a bit.
"Do you need help with the bath? I can help out Kayla"
'No i don't i'm almost done so undress yourself' Kayla said as she put the last ingredient in the bath water.
"Do you mind going along with me to my soon to be husband's house? Or you will like to stay here to take care of the mansion and your family?" Euphorial asked her as she sat in the bath.
'I'm an orphan my lady.I haven't thought about going with you but i think i will accept your offer since i have nothing to do here.When i go with you at least i will be able to help you out and scare off those maids who will try to oppose the new lady of the house' Kayla said before winking at her.
"I'm so happy with you coming with me.The place would have been boring without my new friend (she raised up her right finger to show her friend her wedding ring).Ephraim got me a ring yesterday since he wouldn't be able to get me one after we get home."
'Hunnnn,i'm so happy for you my lady.It is beautiful just like you,i guess he bought it with your pretty face in mind' Kayla teased her as she wash her back and she blushed.
"Since we are friends don't you think you should call me by my name instead whenever we are alone like this.It sounds awkward when my friend calls me 'my lady' (she rolled her eyes)".
'Okay Euphorial' Kayla said and Euphorial smiled.She liked Kayla because she is a straight forward person.She is not like those hypocrite which made her a very loyal person.
'I think you are okay like this' she heard her friend and she stood up to wear the only dress that Kayla left for her since she had packed the rest into the load carriage.
