4 Dream 3: Chosen One (2/2)

”So, you've got a reason why you acted like that right?” The Queen infallibly asked.

In an instance, silence occurred. Fai bowed her head and did not answer.

Genrou placed his hands across at the back of his neck. He looked at her *whistles* and averred, ”Oh well, I guess it's the end of conver-----

He had not finished what he was about to say for a sudden answer interrupted him…

”Yes, I had a reason, but now (*Fai raised her head and smiled cheerfully*) it's not necessary anymore, I think.”

”I suppose, not many things are to be shared with someone you just met right? I will just ask your history some other time then.” The queen understandingly stated as she smiled sincerely.

Fai smiled and nodded ”Um!”

Then a messenger came and informed the Queen about the party. He bowed and greeted. ”Your highness, the king has conveyed the decree about the banquet tomorrow. I would like to know what you want it to be so that we will design according to your perception.”

”Sure, go now and make this banquet one of a kind. That's what I want.” The queen said.

”I understand your majesty. I shall now go and prepare it with the others.” The messenger said as he bows and then, he left.

”He understood? What!? The queen didn't say anything about what she likes. She just said to make it a one of a kind. Heh! What a talent.” Fai can't believe the capability of the messenger in her mind.

She then again pondered, ”This strange world, strange people and strange castle, strange…why are everything so strange? I have this nostalgia that I can't explain. It's as if I have been to this place before. Is this real or is it just a dream?”

Genrou called her over and over but she did not respond. So he goes near her and pinched her cheeks and asked. ”What are you spacing out for? I called your name many times but you did not even respond. It's like your head is in the clouds.”

Fai stared at him while in her mind, ”He is so close. Why his skin looks so dazzling? He is not that fair but he got a good clear skin. He has this beautiful eyes, sharp nose, and attractive lips. He's gorgeous! I've never seen such a handsome man before. If I look at him this close, I might have a nosebleed. He's so charming…are all prince like this?”

”Hey! I'm talking to you, what are you staring at? Why wouldn't you answer? have you gone deaf?” Genrou shouted for she keeps spacing out.

Fai got startled and got back to her senses, later she replied, ”I'm sorry, I was just fascinated.”

”FASCINATED? *scoffs* Fascinated of what? Don't tell me, you got fascinated by my looks huh?” Genrou sarcastically said while he stares at her with a teasing look in his eyes.

Her face suddenly blushed and she defended as she moves her face away from him, ”I am not! OK. Stop with your narcissistic acts.”

Genrou laugh so hard while placing his hands on his tummy. ”HA-HA-HA! Your easy to read HA-HA-HA, I was just joking you know, you're so defensive.”

”Stop laughing will you!” She loudly said shyly.

”Hey, come on KIDS, let's get ready for the banquet tomorrow, and stop playing already.” The queen amusingly asserted.

Upon hearing that, both Genrou and Fai started sulking in their thoughts. ”KIDS!? We're not KIDS anymore.”

The Queen later called out for the maids and told them. ”Go, clean the room at the southern part of the palace. Then afterwards, bring this lady there so that she can rest and get changed and also attend to her needs. By way, prepare her a dress for the banquet tomorrow too.”

”Are you talking about the 'Hall of Fate' your majesty?” The chamberlain asked.

”Yes, now you can go and call the King for me, I have something to say to him.”

”Oh great! Tends your wounds too and wear feet protection ok? I won't be able to visit you for I have an important business to go.” Genrou reminded Fai.

”Ok, I will. Thanks. (*Faces the queen and bowed*) Thank you too, your highness. I'll leave with them now then.” She replied.

The palace maids went their way along with Fai and told the officers to call the King.

”Mom, I have to go too, I need to pay a visit at the Phoenix Clan today.” Genrou notified her mom.

”Now? It was a long journey, and you haven't had a rest yet. You just got back from the North and now you're going away again? We haven't seen each other for almost a month you unfilially child.” The queen pouted as if she's sulking to her son.

Genrou smiled and insisted, ”Mom, I really need to go. You know the reason right? And besides, after I pay a visit there, I'm gonna go straight home. I'm tagging along with them tomorrow when they attend the banquet.”

”Alright I understand, so you're just going to leave the girl behind then?”

”Of course mom, why would I bring her to my future wife's' territory? They'll gonna eat me alive if I do that *laughs* you just take care of her for me ok? I will go after I greet Dad.”

The queen chuckled and agreed. ”Ok, you may go now, do not forget to bring a gift. You know Queen Emerald loves gifts.”

Genrou nodded and smiled as he goes. He went to see his Father, but as he walks toward where the King is, he met him at the hallway in her mother's room. The king is about to go see the queen. A little while, he saw Genrou approaching.
