Chapter 7: A moments lose
Two wonderful hours had passed since Hitomi and Van made their grand entrance and the party was rolling. Kings and Queens, princesses and princes were dancing. The music was flowing. The nightly air was warm. Everyone was having the time of their lives.
"Hitomi! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Melody and a tall man with short blond hair rushed forward to meet the very surprised Hitomi.
"So you have finally decided to join your friends, Melody. What have you been up to?" The very amused king of Fanelia asked from beside Hitomi.
Melody went red in understanding. But she didn't shy away like a normal girl would do. "Why, the great pig-headed king of Fanelia has asked me where have I been, well the answer is very simple: Non of your bloody business."
Everyone started laughing. All except the kings advisors who were hiding behind the bushes in the gardens, listening to the kings conversation with Lady Merle and Lady Hitomi, and his supposably fiancé. "Well she had the nerve." Said Lord Henrry, one of Van's most trusted advisors.
"Shut-up you imbecile! We are supposed to be QUIET!" Whispered Sir Lavion, while stomping on Henrry's foot.
"OUCH! That hurt!" He whined
"Oh boohoo, are you going to start crying now? Like a little girl?" Lord Vlad who was visibly irritated , mockingly asked.
"Oh be quiet, Vladdy." Henrry shot back as if he was nine years old.
"Okay all of you childish idiots SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! Were going to announce the engagement to them soon so keep your bloody mouths shut!" Sir Lavion ordered them and continued his spying.
Meanwhile...............
"Van, Hitomi, Merle this is Derrick my boyfriend." Melody nervously introduced her boyfriend to them, hoping that Van wouldn't ................... 'Oh no he has that evil grin on his face! NO I'm dead! He's gonna say something really embarrassing. God please HELP ME NOW of all moments!' Melody screamed in her mind fearing Van's incompetent behaviour.
"Hello everyone." Derrick said while giving all of them a dashing smile.
'Hehe this is going to be so much fun! Operation Get Melody Back is underway.' Van had planned this moment in his mind over and over again, he just had to get Melody back.
"So you are the lucky man, a pleasure to finally meet you." Van had one of his evil smirks on as he shook Derricks hand. 'This is going to be a LONG night' Everyone thought at the same time.
To be continued....
