Crushing On Your Majesty;The girl he hated

Facing her past

Forgetting someone is a choice,
Remembering them an inescapable compulsion.

....................................................

"Welcome your majesty! Sir is waiting for you!"

A chauffeur said showing us the way.
Your majesty nodded while I was still lost in the beauty of this majestic palace know as the palace of Avanguard.

Following them, I looked around in nervousness.
To my surprise, I remember not much from when I last came here.

The ceilings were touching the sky and red carpet was laid everywhere.
Everything screamed wealth and its owner stood right in front of us.

"Welcome, Daniel!! You have grown to be a handsome boy!"

My body froze listening to his voice.
The warmness in his green eyes was still there, but it was directed towards your majesty.

His beard has grown and few white strands were visible.
But still, he looked handsome and elegant.

I lowered my eyes, staring at my feet.
Afraid of him recognising our resemblance.

"It's been long Sir Harold, finally we meet"

Your majesty said showing him his hand for a handshake, but Sir Harold pulled him for a hug.

Zeena merely nodded and he nodded in response.
Well for me, I was ignored as usual.

Zeena decides to rest and someone showed her the way.
While I followed your majesty and king Harold.

They entered a big hallway, with guards stationed at the entrance.
When I was going to enter, they blocked my way.

"It's personal Sir, you can't enter"

Why the hell can't I?
It's my duty!!
I wanted to call your majesty but I can't speak!!
What do I do!!

I was staring at his back in desperation, in hope that he realises that I was not following him.
But he looked too engrossed in the discussion with king Harold.

Pushing passed them I entered and they shouted at me to stop.
Getting the attention of your majesty.

He looked at me in irritation and confusion.
Not happy with the intrusion.

"Is this young man with you Daniel?"

Sir Harold asked making us have eye contact.
His stare remained a little longer than necessary and I gulped.
My hands sweating and mind-numbing.

Daniel simply stepped my way, angry at something I couldn't understand.

Pulling me to a side he passed king Harold an apologetic look and in contrast turning to look at me in pure anger.

"Just stay outside. Don't create a scene everywhere you go."

Why is he like this?
It is not like I am dying to follow him everywhere like a lost puppy.
It is my duty and I take my work damn seriously.

"No"
I spoke with my chin held high, staring back at him.
He narrowed his eyes on me.
My defiance not settling well with him.

"What did you say?"

His hand holding onto my forearm, trying to push me out of the threshold.

"It's my duty"

I spoke trying to make my voice heavy and accent natural.

"Don't fuc*** test my limits Lin! I decide your duty and you are staying out of that door. Do you get it?"

Why was he so adamant?
What are they going to discuss?
