Chapter 4
That night, Keili sat at her vanity, brushing her long, dark, silky hair. She stared at her beautiful reflection and smiled at the thought of Mykel's face smiling back at her.
"I know all about your little secret." Keili jumped at the sound of the familiar voice.
"Cherish, what are you doing in here?" Keili demanded, standing up quickly.
"I know about you," Cherish said smirking, "and Mykel."
"You are crazy. I do not know any one by that name," Keili said nervously.
"Deny it all you want, Cousin," Cherish said walking over to Keili's side. "I was in the bath house this afternoon. I saw everything."
"What were you doing in my private bath house?" Keili demanded furiously.
"Do not raise your voice to me," Cherish said calmly.
"Why should I not? I am the princess of this country! I could have your head on a silver platter if I wished it so," Keili said raising her hand.
"You will not be the princess much longer if your father finds out about your steamy little love affair," Cherish said coolly. "Do you want your father to find out about it, Cousin dear? You had better do what I tell you or I will tell him."
"Of course not. You will not tell him! And it will not get out, unless your cherish your life," Keili said. "I can have you killed right now if you wish?"
"Empty threats, Keili," Cherish said. "That's all they are. Empty threats."
"We will see about that, won't we?" Keili said walking over to her large bedroom door and pushing it open.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Cherish said walking over to Keili's window and pulling it opened.
"Do not open my window!" Keili said walking over to Cherish and pushing her away.
"Why? Do you have something to hide?" Cherish asked slyly.
"No, of course not. It's just chilly outside, Cherish," Keilie said pulling the window shut.
"Are you sure Mykel is not out there?" Cherish asked sitting down on the edge of Keili large bed.
"I am very sure," Keilie replied confidently.
"Guards!" Cherish yelled. "He just went out the window!"
"Cherish be quiet now!" Keili said trying to quieten Cherish up. "You had better be quite or else!"
The guards pushed up Keili's bedroom door and ran over to the window. Outside, was Mykel.
