Cherreads

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Kathy with the little courage she had, ignoring the voices she heard, use her hands to block her ears and started walking as fast as her leg could carry her while muttering these words {Kathy: It's okay, don't be scared, this probably a nightmare which will soon be over. I'm dreaming and I'll soon wake up}. She continued to repeat those words severally as she moved on. Surprise, a man appeared directly in her front with a roar which out of being frightened, she screamed and when she turned her back to try ad run, about three young people surrounded her, she turned left, a set of two young people surrounded her, she still turned right thinking she can still escapade but when she turned, her gaze met another set of two young people.

Kathy: If this is still a dream, then I'm ready to wake up now.

They all drew near her, surrounding her.

*****

The queen is seen going through the preparation for the wedding that she didn't notice when His Highness (her husband) came in or how long he has been standing. After watching her for a while without her knowing, he called out her name "Marissa". The queen was startled hearing her name but when she turned and saw his Highness, She stood up and paid her respect to him as the custom demanded (The custom is that of Japanese custom where the people joined their hands while bowing their face).

As the queen her face, unknown to her, His Highness walked toward her, so, as she rose her face, her eyes met in contact with his. They stood in the same position for a while, as their eyes were still in contact with one another, none of them were ready to let go of the stare… UNTIL a sound from outside snapped them both, back to their sense.

"You're quite early" She muttered

"Aren't you happy that I'm back?" He asked

"Umm… Yes… Well actually… It's just that…" She said, trying to come up with what next to say when his Highness used his hand and rose her chin up so that her eyes met with his. His dark blue long hair, charming face, tempting smile on his face could drive any girl crazy for him.

"Is he trying to tempt me or what cuz if he is, then it's working" She murmured to herself.

"What did you say?" He asked her

"Nothing" She said and quickly free herself from him and gave herself space from him.

"Oh no! I hope he didn't hear what I said" She murmured again.

His Highness walked toward her; one inches gap away from the queen, still with a charming smile on his face.

"I did" He said

"Uh?" she asked, not understanding what he said but before she could even blink twice, His Highness lifted her up in his arm. His action surprised the queen.

"Hey! What are doing? Put me down!" She said

"Why?" He asked playfully

"Evan, this is childish. Put me down before someone sees us"

"And why should I care. You are my wife after all, and also the queen of this kingdom. So let them all come and see how a husband is gently carrying his beloved wife" He said smiling while the queen use her palm to cover her face.

"This is so embarasssssssing" She said

"I'm hungry" He said

"What" she said, removing her palm that covered her face as she looked up at him?

"You heard me right" He said smiling.

"So why are you telling me? Do I look like food to you?" She asked in an annoying tone.

"Well yes" He replied. "You are the food that I'm hungry for"

The queen after hearing those words, became speechless, instead she bowed her face, her eyes looking down out of feeling embarrassed even if there's nothing to feel embarrassed.

"Why the shy look on your face?" He asked. "Didn't you not say my look is tempting you" He teased her.

"You heard that" She said in a low tone, her cheek turned red a little.

"I have a lot of appetite so let's get started" he said smiling and walked out of the place they have been with the Queen in his hand trying to free herself.

Mavin and Evie were sitted inside the gazebo; an area in the garden, behind the back of the palace.

Mavin: This place is so peaceful and quiet

Evie: Yah! It's a place where I come to escape every one... and mostly the dramas that happens in the house. Seriously, I have a crazy family with lots of stuff happening

Mavin: What kind of Stuff?

Evie: You do not want to know

Mavin: Okay

(For a moment, they both were silent before… Mavin broke it)

Mavin: And the site is pretty amazing. You can receive the cool breeze and the view is so wow, it's even better than my palace.

Evie (correcting): You mean your dad palace

Mavin: I'm his son so technically it's also mine and very soon I'll be the one ruling, taking charge from wherever my dad stopped

Evie: That's sound boring

(Then they both laugh)

Mavin: You got me there. But seriously the site here is terrific. 1oo% honest

(Evie laughed)

Evie: I know. I don't want to brag but this place is the best place in the kingdom. It's also very much a nice place to clear the mind and also a place where my family doesn't know exist in the palace

Mavin: So it's kind of a secret

Evie: Yah!

Mavin: Now I understand why we pass a secret passage.

Evie: This is a secret garden. It's like the secret garden is inside the normal main non suspicious garden…. It's complicated okay.
