Chapter: Five – Marriage Plans!
When Serena had met back up with Leah, the nanny had looked at her with concern and commented on how she looked flushed, and was she feeling alright?
"I'm fine," Serena mumbled, refusing to meet Leah's eyes as they made the short journey back to King Arutha's castle.
Once they made it back to the castle, Leah left Serena alone in her room. Serena sat on her bed, shoulders slumped, with a far-off expression on her face. She touched her lips lightly. Rhys had kissed her… he'd actually KISSED her! And she'd ENJOYED it! A faint blush came back across her face at the memory.
This meant he cared for her as she cared for him, right? She couldn't believe it… she'd always thought he'd looked at her like a little sister, and nothing more…
What was this warm, glowing feeling inside her… was this love?
A knock at her door interrupted her thoughts.
"Yes? What is it?" she called out, her voice weak-sounding for some reason.
A messenger's voice sounded out. "Your highness, your mother the Queen has summoned you to her chambers… she says for you to come immediately, that it is highly important."
"Alright… please tell my mother that I shall be right there in a moment." After hearing the messenger's footsteps fade away, Serena looked at her reflection in the mirror, then rubbed at her face and adjusted her hair, trying to get herself under control and stop the blushing.
What could her mother want her for that was so important? Oh no! She couldn't know somehow of Rhys kissing her, could she?
She shook her head. No, she couldn't… could she?
Satisfied that she looked mostly normal once more, Serena stood and left her room, heading for her mother's chambers.
When she arrived, she found her mother brushing her long, silky hair in front of mirror at her dresser. Her mother looked up when she entered, smiling regally at her daughter's reflection.
"Yes, Mother? You wished to see me?"
The queen set down her brush and stood, turning around to greet her daughter. "Yes, Serena. I have some wonderful news for you… news that will change your life from this day forward!"
What the heck was her mother talking about? What was it that could be so big? For some reason, Serena felt a growing sense of dread.
"What news is that, Mother?"
"You are now engaged to be married!"
QS: Married? To who?
SG: Probably someone ugly…
QS: Read on to find out! BTW, sorry it took so long to update…
QS: Hey, everyone. Been a while since I updated, huh? Since January. Man, it feels like time is going by so fast. Anyway, I still have a buttload of writer's block, and I'm forcing this out, so sorry if it's not up-to-par.
