CHAPTER 44
~
“Your majesties, horrid news from castle Sylph.” Cornelius bowed towards the king and queen.

“Horrid news, it’s so early, what now this morning.” The king sighed.

“Quick! What news?” The Queen asked, stepping towards Cornelius.
“It’s from the Royal spy your Highness. It’s here in the letter” Cornelius replied, handing the letter in his hand to the Queen.

The Queen wasted no time in almost ripping the letter just by trying to open it. And as her eyes slowly scanned the letter, reading every words that was inked down, she lets out a gasp and handed it to the king after reading it.

“My son is out of control?” The Queen scoffed.
“According to the royal spy, the castle will be destroyed soon if he doesn’t calm down soon, since last night he hasn’t been himself and he didn’t try to fall asleep, he just kept tearing down every thing in his way” Cornelius breathed.

“Why? Is it because we took the girl?” The Queen asked.
“Certainly… He also heard the crown prince call out her name, Rosanne, one time.” Cornelius stated.

“Well… I’ll be damned” The king laughed.
“And what is so funny..?” The Queen snapped.
“He is going crazy because of a girl” The king laughed.

“Yes and you should see this as a good thing… He is becoming possessive of something and that is a change, at least he isn’t selfish like you” The Queen scoffed.
“Adalind” The king sighed. “He is possessive towards a person, she is the daughter of Zackary who will be getting married soon.”

“At least, this shows his human side, he has affection, don’t you understand?” The Queen sighed.
“I understand… But..

“Why do you think I called for the Hayest festival?” The Queen interrupted. “It is because our son is getting more human, you should see how he converse with this girl and now wanting to see her so bad… I do not care if she’s getting married. I can stop that marriage right now if I want to, but I will not be selfish because of Hasting, I will wait and watch. Hasting might lose it before the Hayest festival, so we must send the girl back as early as possible and I say tomorrow”. The Queen breathed out.

“Tomorrow? Isn’t that too soon, her father was extremely glad she was back and in time for the Hayest festival” Cornelius spoke up.

“Ugh… Look do not confuse me Cornelius” The Queen sighed.

“And didn’t you also say she wouldn’t go back until her neck is healed?” Cornelius added, earning a glare from the queen.
“You know…” The Queen started, “Seeing her wrapped neck… I think that would make him regret his actions, anytime he looks at her, don’t you think?”

“I…i don’t think so your Highness… I am not very sure..” Cornelius shook his hair, his tremendous lashes batting against his eyes.

“I think it’s a perfect idea. I will need you to inform Zackary that his daughter will be leaving soon. And a little backhander for Zackary will please him” The Queen shrugged.
“I will pass your message” Cornelius bowed before walking away.
:

“Breakfast is ready…” Rosanne announced happily, placing the delicious meal she had just prepared on the table.

“I told you not to stress yourself out Rosanne, your neck is still clothed.” Zackary shook his head.

“I couldn’t help it” Rosanne beamed as she turned to Garam. “Sit” she ordered and he did as he was told.
“So nice of you to join us for breakfast Garam.” Zackary beamed.

“I couldn’t help it either.” Garam beamed, recalling how he couldn’t wait to wake up and get to see Rosanne.

“You know…” Rosanne started, filling her father’s plate with the meal. “I’m so used to waking up very early and preparing breakfast for the crown prince, looks like I brought the habit here.”
“Really? That’s hærd work.” Zackary smiled.
“It really is nothing father.” Rosanne shook her head, now filing Garam’s plate.

“How is the crown prince like?” Garam asked.
Rosanne looked up at him. “Well, you know… Normal.” she shrugged.

“Normal? How do you describe normal.” Garam smiled, grabbing his wooden spoon to start eating.

“Well… He is okay… He mostly gets mad at me but… He is very nice, even if he tries to hide the fact that he’s super nice. And before coming back here, he forced me to learn how to read and write, even when I told him I would get in trouble.” Rosanne smiled sitting down.

“That’s really nice of him.” Zackary smiled.
“Very nice.” Rosanne nodded.

“What does the crown prince looks like, is he good looking?” Garam asked.

“Of course he is.” Rosanne smiled. “He clearly looks like the queen, like both of their features are insanely identical, to say.. Uhm…”
Rosanne dropped her spoon to talk more and describe with her hand.
“He is… He looks a bit older to be eighteen, he looks twenty two at most, he is very tall, I’m barely up to his shoulders, he has emerald eyes like his Mother and he has awfully long hair that needs to be trimmed, and I shouldn’t get started on his voice, it’s as scary as it shouldn’t be” Rosanne expounded.

“I love how you’re so good at description.” Garam smiled.

“You know me.” Rosanne boasted.

“But has the crown prince been all nice and flowery? Tell me the truth!” Garam breathed out.
“To be honest… I don’t like him…” Rosanne sighed and Garam felt his chest puff at the statement. “Why?” He asked.

“Because… He is annoying and so mean and scary and he’s all there to dislike, really” Rosanne shook her head. “But I’ll try to clear the clouds and see his good side when I go back”.

“Now that’s lovely, I love how you think” Zackary smiled.

Rosanne moved the plates when everyone was done with breakfast, and just as she was getting an earful from her father to stop working and have sympathy for her neck, a knock came on the front wooden door of the cottage.
“Do not touch the dishes I’ll get the door.” Zackary snarled at his daughter before walking towards the door.

“Good morning sir Zackary, I am Hans, a Royal guard from the castle and I have come with a message from the queen herself.” Announced a guard, immediately Zackary opened the door.

“Let’s take this outside” Zackary smiled, as he shut the door, walking away with the guard.
:

“This isn’t fair…i can’t just sit and do nothing.” Rosanne gro-ned sitting down on a wooden stool beside the window.

“Just listen to your father, your neck needs to be healed.” Garam said, walking up to Rosanne.

“I wonder what he’s talking with the royal guard outside” Rosanne added.
“I wonder too”

The both of them said nothing and Rosanne breathed out a sigh and turned to look out the window.
Garam remained quiet and just kept staring at the lady in front of him.

Rosanne noticed his eyes and she darted her eyes from outside the window and to Garam.
“What?” she smiled at him.

“Nothing… You’re just really beautiful.” Garam shrugged.

“I can take in your compliments pretty well, it fazes me no more” Rosanne laughed.
“Typical” Garam laughed too.

“But thank you.” Rosanne smiled, taking his hand and pulling him close.
“When you’re done at castle Sylph… Can we just get married immediately?” Garam sighed.

“Of course, what else should we wait for?”

“Good… Because I just can’t wait, to start a life with you Rosanne.” Garam beamed.
“Me too…”
Garam suddenly took Rosanne’s face in his hand and k-ssed her.
Rosanne smiled when the k-ss ended and mouthed the word “more” to him.
Garam burst out laughing. “We’re not supposed to be this affectionate, we’re not married yet”

“I do not second that, and I don’t care” Rosanne tilt her head, k-ssing Garam.
Their k-ss ended when they heard the sound of the door being shut, and getting back to their position, Zackary walked up to them, looking sad.

“Rosanne.” he breathed out.
“Father… What’s wrong?” Rosanne asked getting on her feet.

“Just from the castle… You’ll be going back to castle Sylph tomorrow.”
