Chapter 14

Endymion propped up on his elbows watching the sleeping girl beside him. Time to time he wondered how could this perfect beauty be his wife. She looked so peaceful as she was sleeping her face turned to him. Endymion had to collect all of his strength not to touch her, but he did not want to wake her up. Thinking about last night, he smiled. Yesterday was a tiring day, it was no wonder that the moment her head touched the pillow, she felt asleep. Of course, if it were up to him, they wouldn't have slept too much...again... But he had to admit, they needed the sleep. They didn't need to hurry. They had the whole life before them. Glancing at the clock, he sighed and got up of the bed and went to the bathroom. When he came back to the room Serenity sat already fully dressed before the mirror, combing her hair.

"Are you already awake?" Endymion asked from behind.

"I couldn't sleep." Seeing his raised eyebrows, Serenity flushed. "I got used to it, that you sleeps beside me. The moment you left the bed I woke up."

Endymion grinned. "Good to know it." He said, kissing her neck quickly but hotly.

"I have to meet with my father. I hope we will find out some new information about the rebels. Don't worry, I will be back soon. Anyway you will be busy with the tailor I guess." Endymion said dragging on his clothes.

"When will the tailor arrive?" Serenity asked standing up.

"I will send someone for him before breakfast." He answered. "Ready?"

"Yes."

The pair went to the lunchroom chatting.

"Good morning kids!" King Damian greeted them with the usual smile.

"Morning!" they said.

"It seems I am the last to arrive." The Queen said from the door. Serenity smiled at her while the Generals watched their Prince curiously.

"Good Morning!" Serenity said. Gaia looked a bit relived and smiled back at Serenity, and turned to his son. Endymion looked without blinking at his mother then sighed deeply.

"Good Morning, mother. I hope you slept well."

Hearing Endymion, everybody sighed. King Damian smiled at his wife proudly. The queen's eyes lit up and glanced at Endymion gratefully. This silent forgiveness meant a lot to her.

Serenity smiled brightly. She talked with Endymion last night. She asked him to forgive to his mother. Serenity was happy that he took his side, but she didn't want mother and son to stay angry at each other.

After breakfast, Serenity ran to their room. She wanted to talk with Molly about the tailor. Stepping in the room, she saw Molly putting the roses at the table.

"Molly! Molly!" She cried from the door excitedly.

"Whoa Serenity! Calm down!" Molly smiled at her friend.

"I hope you aren't busy this morning! I need new dresses and the tailor will be here in any moment. I need your help! I want Earth- dresses!"

"Oh. All right. I will help you."

Serenity smiled gratefully and glanced at the roses.

"Tell me Molly. What does red rose mean?"

Molly looked puzzled at her. "The red rose?"

"Yes. Yesterday Endymion took me around the garden. He said the colors of the roses have meaning. But he didn't tell me what the red roses mean."

"He gave it to you?" Molly looked excitedly at Serenity. The relationship between her friend and her Prince was more and more interesting.

"Yes."

"Oh Serenity! The red one means love!" Molly said happily while Serenity looked with wide eyes at the rose. After a while Molly frowned.

"Has he never said you that he is in love with you?"

"No." Serenity answered slowly taking the red rose in her hand.

"But he is right? I mean... I have never seen him like this before..."

"You know what Molly? I think he is!" Serenity turned around with a big smile.

There was a knock on the door.

"Princess Serenity? I am Mr. Wedd, the tailor."

"Yes, come in please." Serenity said putting back the rose.

The next hours they spent with discussion about colors and dresses. Molly couldn't stay long, so Serenity stayed alone with the tailor.

"So, that is all?" The tailor asked putting away the long list about the dresses he should make.

"Yes. Thank you!" Serenity smiled at Mr. Wedd, and looked around.

"What is this?" She asked curiously.

"This? This is a corset. It is the newest fashion." The tailor said then shook his head. "I don't think you will need it, Princess. With the corset your waist will look slimmer." He put the corset away when Serenity stopped him.

"It is the newest Earth fashion?" She asked not taking her eyes off the corset.

"Yes, but as I said before-"

"I need it!" Serenity said. "You have some with you, I see. Could you give me 2 or 3?"

Mr. Wedd ran his fingers through his hair nervously. He couldn't say no to the Princess. Prince Endymion told him, that whatever the Princess wants, she should have it. Therefore, he explained how the corset worked and stepped out the door.

Serenity looked for a while at the corset then she went to find Molly. She really wanted to try it on. After 10 minutes she still couldn't find her friend, so she grabbed the first servant she met and led her in her room.

The poor girl stood nervously behind the Princess.

"Your Highness, are you sure, you want to wear the corset? I don't think you will need it," she murmured.

"Yes-yes! Just do it."

Something was wrong. They did everything as Mr. Wedd told them, still the corset wasn't firm as it should have been.

"Because your waist is already so slim. We could make it more tightly, but-" She said, but Serenity interrupted her.

"Okay, then do it! I just want to try it on!"

After a few minutes the corset was tight enough and Serenity's waist was unnaturally slim. Serenity had some trouble with the breathing, but she was happy. The tailor said it should be like this. The servant girl blinked nervously and left the room. Serenity stood before the mirror for a while. It was... odd. Well, maybe she just had to get used to it. As the minutes pasted she was more and more uneasy. She really hoped that Endymion will be back soon and she can show him the corset then she can get rid of it as fast as she could. Actually, she could take it off right now, but if she went through so much trouble, she wanted to show him at least. 'Oh-ho. Since when was it so difficult to breath? And since when did the room spin around?' Something was very wrong. 'It is because this stupid corset.' Serenity thought. She tried to go to the door to ask for help, but suddenly everything went black and she collapsed.

Queen Gaia and Molly hurried to Endymion and Serenity's room. Karin, the young servant girl knocked on the Queen's door not so long ago. She said that Serenity tried on a corset and it was so tight on her that it couldn't be healthy. Gaia met with Molly on her way to his son's room and after telling her what happened they went together on.

Opening the door Gaia went white with fear. On the floor laid Serenity motionless. Molly cried out and shook the unconscious Princess.

"Serenity!!"

"Molly, go get my son! Hurry! And take some water too!" The Queen ordered.

Molly ran out crying while Gaia began to loosen up the corset on Serenity's back. As it gave away from its wring, she slapped Serenity's face lightly. The Princess took a big breath and coughed.

"Thank Goodness!" Gaia sighed. "Relax, take a deep breath."

"Wha-What happened?" Serenity said, her throat went dry, her voice husky.

"You almost choked yourself with the corset."

Serenity looked with wide eyes at the loosened up corset. Suddenly the door flew open and Endymion ran in the room. He kneeled beside Serenity and took her hand worriedly.

"Serenity! Are you all right?" Saying that he was scared was nothing in compared to what he felt at the moment. When he finally understood what the crying Molly said he ran to their room immediately. Seeing Serenity's white face, he thought he would faint.

"What the hell were you doing damn it! Were you trying to kill yourself?" He shouted now he was angrier than scared.

"Endymion! It is not the right time for screaming!" Gaia said sternly. Meanwhile Molly arrived with the water. Serenity accepted the water gratefully and took a big gulp. After a few minutes, Serenity got better and Molly and the Queen left quietly.

"God, Serenity! You could have died!" Endymion shouted.

"I didn't know. Mr. Wedd said, that it is the new Earth-fashion. He told me how to use the corset, but when we tight it, it wasn't as it should have been."

"Of course not! Your waist is much smaller than the waist of an Earth-girl! Didn't he tell you, you don't need to use it?!

"He did. Sorry! I just thought if I wear it, your people would accept me. I know that there will be many politicians who will cause you and your father trouble just because I am from the Moon." Serenity sniffled. Why did she do everything wrong?

"I don't care how many people cause trouble to me! I care only for you. If anything happens to you..." Endymion hugged her close to him.

"I... I am selfish. I wanted to wear the corset because I thought you would... like me more if I do." Serenity cried quietly. Endymion felt like screaming. It was his fault entirely. If he did tell her how he felt earlier, it wouldn't have happened.

"I don't want you to change. I want you as you are now. I love you." Endymion whispered.

"You lo- love me?" Serenity looked at him hopefully.

"I do. I don't know how you did it, but I think my heart was yours the moment I saw you in that ball." Serenity wrapped her arms around his neck happily.

"I love you too! I love you too!" She said over and over again. Endymion stroked her back smiling. When his fingers found the corset, he ripped it off angrily.

"Did you buy more of it?"

"Yes. 2 more."

"I don't want to see you wear it ever again." Endymion said then took her in his arms and laid her on the bed.

"Now go to sleep. I have to go back to the meeting, but I will send Molly up. It seems you can get in trouble in no time." Endymion smiled and kissed her forehead gently.
