Sudden princess

Chapter 47: Cute together

Queen Delphine stood frozen after her scream, she was staring into space as what had happened a minute ago lingered in her head. It was driving her crazy.

Old Gytha walked into the room, her eyes widened seeing the fire.

"Your highness!" She exclaimed. Raising her hand, she immediately put of the fire using her power. She ran towards the Queen and held her hand.

"Are you hurt your highness? I told you to try control your anger." She asked holding her hand but Queen Delphine jerk her arm away.

"Yes, of course I'm hurt! In fact I feel like burning the whole fucking palace! How dare he Gytha?! How dare he?! The king just put Zameil over me!" The Queen yelled.

Old Gytha went speechless as she tried to digest the Queen's word.

"Your highness, we need to calm down.. Zameil might be having his victory at this moment but I can assure you that it won't last" Old Gytha said.

"How long do I have to wait? I want to rule. Just fasten up your plan Gytha. I'm losing my patient" The Queen said and head towards her the bathtub.

Galen sat before someone grave with a paled face and red swollen eyes. So this is how it feels when someone lost you love.. especially first love.

Saverina walked to sit beside him. "You're okay?" She asked.

"If I could bring someone back to life I would love to bring her back" Galen muttered.

"I'm sorry" Saverina said. She added "Sorry I came late"

"It's not your fault. You've reconciled with your sisters?" Galen asked, his eyes remaining on the Sarah's grave.

"Not really. I told them I'll go back home if they help me in fighting this war" Saverina replied. Galen took a deep breath and looked at her.

"I don't know what to do. I feel like I caused her death. She came to this war because me. I should've stopped her, I should've tell her to stay or maybe I shouldn't be in the palace..."

"Hey" Saverina cur him off. "This isn't your fault. You didn't cause her death, this was fate and no one can stop it. Instead, train hard to become strong so you can kill that bastard who did this to her"

Galen clinched his jaw and nodded. He look back at Sarah's grave.

"I'll kill him, myself" He muttered clinching his fist.

"You're not coming home?" One of Saverina's sisters asked. They were five of them. Saverina is the sixth and the third oldest.

"No, not yet" Saverina replied.

"What! You promised you'd come home once we help you fight this war. Are you going against your word?" Another one asked.

"I am not going against my word and of course I'll come home. Only after I help my friend" Saverina said.

"That was the same reason you left. Are you not concerned about us? Mother is really worried about you"

"She might have even get sick because of you"

"This nonsense has to stop"

"You can't be out here"

"Stop talking!!" Saverina snapped and the all froze. Taking a deep breath she speak again. "I'll be home soon, I promise okay? Beside don't use mother against me, she doesn't care like she use to"

"Mother cares for you Saverina, come home"

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Saverina shot the one who spoke a glare. "I'm leaving, see you guys soon"

Saverina turn to meet Galen waiting for her from a distance.

"Shouldn't we tell her about what mother saw about her?" One of the sister asked the oldest.

"We should wait a little longer. Elizabeth is not a stranger. Let's go home" The oldest said and vanished. Other sister vanished too.

"Are you okay?" Galen asked on their way back to the palace.

"Yeah. I'm fine, we should go check on Alice" She said and Galen nodded.

"So how should we celebrate it?" Phaedra asked. Derek, Zameil and Alice sat around her as they all are dinner.

"How about we get drunk at tomorrow feast?" Derek said.

"I'm definitely in, gosh it's being long I got wasted!" Alice exclaimed. Zameil shook his head in disbelief.

"I'm in too" Phaedra said.

"I'm out" Zameil said and Alice frowned at him.

"What? Why?" She asked.

"He's a bad drinker" Derek blurted and Zameil shot him a glare.

"Ha!" Alice began to laugh hard. "You're a bad drinker.. I can't believe this..."

"Keep quiet or I'll kiss you" He warn, Alice immediately stop laughing. She saw Phaedra and Derek smiling. She kicked Zameil under the table.

"Argh!" Zameil quickly covered his lips to prevent the scream. He gave Alice a look and she poke her tongue at him.

"They look so cute together" Pheadra whispered while looking at them.

"I know right. Let me see your face" Derek whispered too. Pheadra turn her head to him, and Derek pecked her lips at once. Blush crept onto Phaedra's cheek. She hiccupped and covered her lips, Derek smiled.

Zameil walked towards Derek standing while watching the sky. "Hey" He greeted standing beside him.

"Such a tough war" Derek spoke.

"But it was fun" Zameil added and the both chuckled. His face turn serious again. "I felt like there's a bigger one coming if we don't find Delilah fast"

"Speaking of Delilah, she look a lot like Ava" Derek said, recalling the scene.

"I thought so too. I wonder how Ava is doing? We'll need to find her to clear our curiosity. We'll go to her town after the feast" Zameil said, part of him was nervous about the answer.

"Alright Duchy of Ammon" Derek smiled.

"You can call me that after the feast" Zameil smiled.

"I'm proud of you my friend. I thought the king was drunk for a moment. It felt unreal" Derek said.

"Congratulations on Phaedra. I hope you'll have a wedding soon" Zameil said.

"Of course, I can't wait to have my little child running around me. He's going to call you uncle and you are going to kiss his forehead" Derek said with a serious look. His eyes met with Zameil. "Promise?"

"I promise" Zameil said. Remembering another thing Derek spoke again.

"Delilah said you made a deal with Baal so you could control him that night. She was saying nonsense right?" Derek asked. Zameil expression changed, but it disappeared immediately.

"Yes, it was nonsense" Zameil said. "I, I have to go" he turn to leave instantly.

Derek stood there with a frown. He hears Zameil's heart skip a beat. He was lying.
