Jade

Part the Eighth

Wolfram slowly sauntered up to Jade's side. Water was still running off of him, soaking into his pants. "I think they are considering letting you join the team." He put an arm around Jade's shoulders. "Of course you're guaranteed a position, Your Majesty."

"Please," Jade said, leaning into him, "Don't call me that." She looked at the Snowhill team. "If I am allowed to join, I wish it would be because of my skill, not my ranking in the Mozoku society. Besides," she looked up at Wolfram, "I don't want to join the team."

Wolfram looked surprised. "Why? You're a good player. You can easily make the team with your skills."

"I have duties as Queen," she explained. "I don't think Gwendal would like it anyway. I have to read all of the files about your history and laws, I don't have time to join the team."

"Gwendal is to bossy, he never has any fun." Wolfram muttered with a disgusted look.

Jade laughed. "Oh my," she started to walk to the castle.

"Wait, where are you heading off to?" Wolfram asked, following her.

"I'm sweating," she said, pulling her shirt from her chest. "I'm going to get washed off." Wolfram noticed that Gunter overheard her. Wolfram also noticed how Gunter smiled. Jade had noticed too. "Gunter," she said, "you need to rid your mind of those thoughts or—" too late. Wolfram had hit Gunter hard over the head with the bumpball.

"Don't even think about it," Wolfram said and hit Gunter again.

Jade's jaw dropped a half-inch. Every time Wolfram hit Gunter, Wolfram's chest muscles would flex. Jade noticed she was starring yet again. She quickly turned around and headed off to the castle. Her cheeks were beat red. Maybe he didn't notice me starring, she thought as she locked the bath's door and undressed, God I hope he didn't.

When she was finished washing off, she dried herself off with a clean towel and didn't feel like putting on the same clothes she were to play bumpball. She wrapped the towel tightly around her body and silently cursed how short the towel was. Her behind was barely covered. She grabbed her clothes and slowly opened the door, silently praying no one was out in the hall.

She walked out and wished she hadn't. Konrad and Gwendal came around a corner. They looked fresh out of the bath. They looked at her and she noticed their cheeks went a bit red. "I'm sorry," Jade said, "I didn't grab clean clothes to dress in."

Konrad shook his head. "No, it is we who should be sorry." He bowed and turned his back, leaving the same way he came. Gwendal bowed and left after Konrad.

Jade stood still in the hall for a moment before she hurried off to her room. She opened her bedroom door and thanked God that she didn't run into anyone else. She quickly closed the door behind her and locked it. She turned to walk to the bed but froze still before she took a step. She dropped her clothes to the floor and put her hands to her towel to make sure that wouldn't fall.

Wolfram was sitting on her bed; his shirt and armor were on the bed beside him. He raised an eyebrow when he saw her. He smiled slightly and slowly scanned her body. He moved his eyes from her slim ankles, up her long legs and smiled broader when his sight got a glimpse of exposed stomach where the towel had opened. He finally brought his gaze to rest on her face. Her mouth was slightly parted, her eyes were wide, but not totally surprised.

"Um…" Jade said uneasily.

Wolfram stood and slowly walked towards her. "I'm sorry. I'll leave to let you dress."

Jade stepped out of his way, making sure she faced him so he couldn't see her from behind. "Thank you…." Jade's cheeks turned a bit red.

Wolfram paused in front of her for a moment. He leaned towards her and kissed her softly on her check before continuing his way out of the room. He closed the door after himself and Jade locked it a moment later.

Jade quickly dressed and noticed Wolfram had left his shirt and armor on her bed. She thought about taking it to him, but doubted she could left the armor. She unlocked her door stepped into the hall.

It was a gorgeous day and dinner was still two hours away. She rocked on her heels as she thought about what to do. For once, she didn't have anyone telling her that she must go do this and that. She had two whole hours to herself. Her options were to go to her office and reorganize the mess she made and read more files, which she didn't really want to go do, or go out in the mid afternoon sun. If she were to go out, she could take a nice long walk, visit the town of Snowhill, take a horseback ride, or whatever she wanted.

She sighed and walked till she found herself in the large garden. She remembered most of the flowers names from when her and Konrad walked through when she first arrived to the Mozoku land. After several minutes, she decided on what she wanted to do.

She raced out of the garden and ran through the halls of the castle. She had almost run over at least six or seven servants along the way to the castle entrance. She slowed when she reached her destination, the stables.

"Hello?" Jade softly called out into the darkness of the stable.

"Yes Your Grace?" a short slim man said as he walked towards Jade, "would you like your horse ready for a ride?"

"Yes please." Jade smiled. The man smiled at her and disappeared back into the stable. He had friendly smile and looked to be in his 50's. After about 5 minutes, the stableman came back out of the stable with Mooneyes. Mooneyes was alert. Her ears were up and focused in Jade's direction. "Thank you!" Jade smiled and took the reins from the stableman.

"Your welcome Your Grace." He bowed. Another stableman came out with another horse ready to ride. "But I am truly sorry Your Majesty, but you must not go alone. Lord Wolfram will be here shortly to escort you on your ride." The other man let go of the reins of Wolfram's horse and both men disappeared into the stable.

Jade sighed and waited patiently fro Wolfram to arrive. She mounted her horse and grabbed the reins of the other horse. Mooneyes guided them to the front of the castle and as they stopped, Wolfram ran out of the castle and paused when he saw Jade waiting. They smiled to one another and Wolfram jumped onto his horse and took the reins from Jade.

"Where would you like to go?" Wolfram asked. They both headed towards the castle entrance.

"Just a ride…. Let's see where it will take us." Jade smiled.

And they went on there way towards the town and towards their destiny……
