18 Demise And Vicissitude (1/2)
Pardon my mistakes...
i was so lost in my thoughts sitting out in the lawn chair in cool breeze the wind blowing my hair wasps to the right side of my face i wasn't even bothered about removing them, how was my life once how had it become now so painful and worthless fresh tears formed in my eyes on remembrance of Remus words 'i hate you', his words are stabbing my heart silent tears rolled down my cheeks.
abruptly a knights body fell in front of me with the thud on the ground, just a feet before me i got up from the lawn chair terrified he was dead his body was totally drained his body looked so pale and there were two holes on side of his neck, the blood was smeared all over his neck, i felt like i lost my voice i wanted to scream out in agony by the scene before my eyes ,but nothing was coming out of my mouth, i stood there in complete whammy disable to scream, i felt a hand on my shoulder turning me around and engulfing me into hug ”Zeri are you hurt” father asked in dread, i looked at him i was unable to answer him i was appalled he shrugged me holding my arms ”Zeri, answer me” i was out of my consternation and answered ”no” panicking my whole body was shaking father engulfed me into embrace and took me away from the scene inside the castle.
He took me to his chamber holding me close to him wrapping an arm around my shoulder and holding my other hand, he sat me down on his bed and sat beside me he took my hands into his tears formed in my eyes.
”Zeri what happened out there, who killed the knight have you seen” he asked.
”n-n-no. father” i replied still shaking, tears slipping down .
”it's alright Zeri i'm here” father said by pulling me into his chest, i wrapped my arms around him and silently sobbed in his chest, he caressed my hair cooing me he pulled away and wiped my tears cupping my face, the death of knight gave me a reason to cry my heart out in my father's arms, which i wanted do from the couples of weeks the tears which i cried in my solitude, in my pillow, in my lonely nights, i was in a situation where my father who loves me so much who will do anything to make me happy and who had done so much for my happiness, is in front of me but i can't tell him my pain, there was no one to share my pain with even Laura was gone her son was queasy and needed her, i can't be so selfish to keep a mother away from her son, she denied to go leaving me all alone in such dreadful situation, but i promised her that i will be fine and i won't cry i forced her to go i feel so alone without her ......,
father was so worried about the incident i saw the knight falling on the ground with my eyes, how could that happen his whole body was drained it was an horrible thing to ever encounter, i can't imagine what might his family must be going through.
i was walking back to my chamber wondering about what kind of animal would do that, though father said it was an animal attack but i don't think so it was any animal who did that perhaps it was an animal.
i left father chamber when he was talking about attack with Lord vettori and other knights he was being so desperate about the security of the castle i don't know what was making father so apprehensive that he was increasing knights in the castle, as i opened my chamber's door cold air hit my face, why always my balcony door is open i think i should lock it from tonight, i swiftly closed the door behind me and walked to close the balcony door when i was closing the door i saw something red glimmering at the edge of the gardens i walked out and tried to look at it the bright blood red eyes looking at me through the hood, in the blink of an eye it was gone, i was astounded i think it's happening due to stress and lack of sleep, i got inside and locked the door my chamber was so cold even my bed was cool, i laid on my bed and covered my self with the quilt.
i thought about the ball which is after three days, it can't be cancelled at this stage invitations were send to all the kingdoms, it was our time to held the ball for our new relation with Villintine kingdom, the part of me was happy to see Remus he won't talk to me but i could see him and that's fine for me, my heart will find bit of ease after seeing him, i hope that he will come.....

Ball Night
father has ordered this dark sea green color gown for me to wear in the ball, it was so magnificent, it was full sleeved and had aquamarine color parallel slanting line of stones on my sleeves circling them from shoulder to wrist, the gown from my stomach was covered with light sea green color net cloth which had some peace color spark-lings covered all over my stomach line, the drizzles of spark-lings reaching the end of the gown.
after long time i was kinda feeling good, i wore the gown Ela and Nina helped me getting ready, i was missing Laura she was the one always who helped me in getting ready and arranged things according to me, they two did their best in making me look presentable and they worked wonders on me, they literally made me look so enthralling my hair was braided into the side braid, leaving some curly wasps at the side of my face and some out of braid, i was wearing sapphire sea green necklace and matching earrings, i put on my brooch which was mended by my love, every time i remember him tears start pooling in my eyes, i sniffed and controlled my tears in front of them.
”you look so beautiful, Princess ”
”you look so magnificent, Princess ” they both said in unison looking at me through mirror, i smiled looking back at them and said ”thank you Ela and Nina, you both made me look pretty”
