Chapter 43: The Artist

Jivan has finally recovered and like he said he was taking me out on a date. I couldn't help but think I should be with Tristan, to comfort him. But, after Ninurta reported to Sigmund, I wasn't allowed to go near him. We didn't even meet this morning for our morning classes.

I was now staring at myself in the mirror, checking if there was anything off about how I looked. Mother had helped me picked a dress when she heard that I was going on a date with Jivan.

A periwinkle laced dress that was above the knees. My hair was left in its natural waves, with just a simple daisy flower crown. I wore white flat shoes. It was a simple look and hopefully appropriate for whatever Jivan had planned.

I heard a knock on my balcony door, "Don't tell me he's coming from the balcony again," I shake my head walking towards the door.

As I opened the door, a pixie holding flowers is what greets me, "To Princess Elira, from Prince Jivan," he hands them to me and I smile.

"Thank you," he nodded and flew away, I watch towards the direction he went and looked back at the bouquet of pink carnations.

     There was a card between the flowers, I took it out to see handwritten words.

Today is the day of our date,

Please don't be late.

Because I can't wait,

Meet me at the gate.

     I giggle at how cute the short poem is, "Carnations huh? Prince Jivan are you saying thank you?" I smile as I placed the carnations in a vase, I placed the card down on my desk.

"Where are you off to?" Chad asks as I go out of my bedroom.

"To meet Jivan! Don't wait for me!" I skip in my steps doing a twirl and then walked towards the staircase, running down.

     I was fast walking going out of the castle heading to the gate. Each step I took, I felt like I was being drawn closer to him. I stop in my tracks when I saw his back he was talking to the guard at the gate, the guard then said something, making Jivan look at me.

Happy. That's what I felt as I saw him smile looking at me, he greeted the guard goodbye and walked towards me. We walked towards each other.

     "Hello," I said and he smiled.

"Hi," I stared at his azure eyes and they were bright and beautiful.

"You look pretty," he said and I blushed looking away, "Stop that," he said gently turning my face to face him.

"Sorry, I'm just a little nervous," I said playing with my fingers behind my back, looking at him.

"Just think of this as friends catching up?" he said and I nodded, "a friend you're getting married to."

I hit his arm, "Not helping!" he winced, "Oh, does it still hurt, I'm sorry-"

"I'm messing with you," he winked and walked ahead towards the gate.

"I hate you!" I said following him.

"Not for long," he said holding my left hand, "You like butterflies, right?"

"I love them!" I grinned and he smiled.

As we went out the gate, there was a carriage waiting for us outside, "Princess," Jivan opened the door for me and gestured it arm to walk inside.

"Why, thank you," I went in and I heard him chuckle.

"Are we going to Mariposa?" I asked as he got in and he shrugged, "Jivan!"
