SO I WROTE THIS SPICY CHAPTER AS AN APOLOGY TO READERS. PLUS I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU GUYS GAVE ME SUCH A GOOD RESPONSE THANKIO SO MUCH EVERY ONE FOR YOU SUGGESTION AND COMMENTS, IT REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART.
CHAPTER# 4: 7 GIANTS
~EMA'S POV:
Light hit my face and i blinked several times before my vision cleared, the place was too exposed to light and warm too but where was i?
when my vision cleared completely i say a young princely boy with silver hair, his eyes close and rise and fall of his chest was steady which means he was soundly asleep.
"so handsome guy" i murmured.
WAIT! did i just said a guy and currently i am using his lap as a pillow.
"GAH" the thought made me panic and i bolted up.
the princely boy jumped at my outburst and at the same time he bowed his head to check me but it was too late our forehead crash.
"OUCH"
"OH"
we screamed at he same time, i was so embarrassed on my actions that i plastered my forehead on floor and started throughing apologies at him.
"GOMEN, GOMESAI, GOMEN"
I repeated it over and over again until i felt firm hands gripping my shoulders making me look up to meet sad grey eyes.
"it's ok...there's no harm done you don't need you feel guilt" he assured me in soft soothing voice.
"Um... how did i end up here? and what is this place... all those alley's?" i asked confused.
as now i observed that i was in some mysterious place which held number of alley's like a maze and most weird thing that all the walls were made up of mirror.
"this place is called MIRROR WORLD, you fainted in the cottage and i took you in here, how are you feeling now?"
i can he was still hesitant but i don't know why all i know is that he is a gentle person.
"i am fine thank you" i replied in small voice feeling shy under his gaze.
"i am lori, i have been living here since 80 years" he introduced.
"80?" did he just said 80? is he that old?... i frowned and he chuckled at my expression.
"you don't have to worry about age in my world, the time stops here" he explained sensing my weird frown.
"Oh..." was all i could reply being dumb.
"That's unique... Wait are you alone in this world by all those years?" i asked with my eyes getting wide.
His eyes grew bigger too.
"You are tapped here as a prisoner" i stated confidently because i know i am right.
His expression went grim and his lips pressed hard in a thin line. how horrible it is to prison someone in this lifeless world for 80 years.
"Who are you?" my thoughts were interrupted by his question.
"I...I am ema white" i replied not knowing to add my title or not.
"you are the princess? ema rintaru the royal highness?" he asked.
"y...yes! i am" i hesitated because no one considered me the princess after my father died, the queen's servant treat me as raw meat while other are my allie's so i don't let them treat me like a royal piece.
"you are more beautiful then i thought of you to be" lori commented immediately and then he blushed realizing his outburst and our cheek color matched.
"T...thank you, you are pretty handsome yourself" i shuttered.
"But you are more beautiful especially your eyes"
"No its you, your hair are really nice i love grey"
we were complimenting each other for the rest of 10 minutes when we realized at last two comments that things are getting awkward and out of hands.
"you have nice lein build of you body i personally don't prefer bulky men"
"No you have zero size that's an ideal figure to every girl" lori replied.
we both shut our mouth up and blushed madly that we were making things more awkward in nervousness.
"GOMESAI" we apologized in unison.
it was a long awkward pause until...
"Ema?... Where are you? lori?" it was azusa's voice.
the awkward couple heard his voice behind the mirror door. lori stood up, offering his hand to ema who took it gratefully.
Soon the eight mirror's surrounded azusa and one of them revealed lori and ema.
"Hello azusa-san it's been a while" lori greeted warmly.
"i can say the same" azusa replied casually.
"Ema are you alright? i was so worried about you... i mean we were so worried about you" azusa tried poorly to hide his outburst.
"I am perfectly fine don't worry azusa-san" ema beamed.
"we should head back to castle it is almost mid-night" azusa suggested.
"YES! it's already too late you should go" lori replied.
"Can we meet again?, you are a kind friend" ema asked blinking her big brown eyes.
"I like your company but i wish we never meet again because this world is cursed and i can't leave this place" lori explained.
"So we will never meet again? you are the first friend i made out from castle" ema got sad tears threatening to escape.
lori brows met for a fraction of second then his face slipped in ease expression.
"how about we talk every at mid-night?" lori asked.
"is it possible? how?" ema jumped in excitement.
"yes! it is, I can transport myself to any mirror present on this globe so i can definitely visit through the one in your room...only if you want..." lori smiled.
Ema was so excited that she didn't let lori finish and jumped on him tangling him in warm embrace. lori was startled but smiled at her childish outburst.
meanwhile azusa was tapping his foot on hard wooden floor, watching the embraced scene being unfolded in front of him, irritation was written all over his face and he was almost at the point of losing his calm composure when ema spoke
"let's go azusa-san,bye lori-kun see you tomorrow night" she greeted stepping out of mirror world.
she grabbed azusa's arm, making his eyes go wide and dragged him out of cottage/hut.
they were now a bit away from castle entrance when azusa stopped and it took few seconds for ema to realize that he had stopped walking.
"azusa-san are you alright?" ema asked innocently.
azusa didn't replied and he was looking at his feet, his eyes full of unknown determination.
"azusa-san?" ema called again putting her hand on one of his shoulder.
he looked up.
"you should try be more careful" azusa stated with concerned expression.
"i don't because there are so many people to do that for me, you too are there for me azusa-san" ema replied in sweat tone.
azusa heart skipped a beat and he used every ounce of energy present in his body to stop himself from throughing his arms over ema and to never let her go.
'stop it you BAKA, you will scare her' he mentally scolded himself. he started walking straight to the castle without another word ema followed him too.
they were now in front of ema's room. azusa held the door for princess and stood their waiting for her to speak.
"sorry for giving you so much trouble today azusa-san and thank you"
"it's OK" was all he replied to ema.
"can i call you azu-ni? when we are alone because you too are my friend from now on" ema asked looking straight in his eyes.
azusa lips twitched into a heart breaking smile making ema go dazzled that was his way of saying YES.
"you should smile more, you honestly look nice with that on" ema commented.
azusa mouth few open for a fraction of second but soon he overcome it and walked away murmuring a good night greeting in bored tone.
azusa was now at terrace of castle under twinkling star of bright night, his glasses shinning under moon light and his hairs ruffled by wind make him look ever more younger as he was just 21 now.
'how can you consider me a friend? after all those times when you were tortured by the queen, calling for help and i was standing right next to you never dared to save you, never dared to speak up for you'
'i have fought for you from shadows but that isn't enough never did it whole heartily'
'how can you forgive me before even letting me apologize?'
'and how can i overcome the disgust if fell for myself when i think of loving you because i have no right to do so'
'my world was shaken when i heard your scream in the woods today, i thought it is the end of you which is the end of me, there is no one left for me to live for except you as my parents were killed long gone and i have no siblings'
'i feel something has changed today, i me, by you, i will fight for you from now on, i will keep you safe I SWEAR snow white i will be by your side till my last breath'
~deep into the woods
Royal carriage was passing through woods surrounded by 16 guards with their arms full of weapons. the carriage contained a financial adviser, personal adviser and a brown head with matching brown eyes 'THE KING'. a cheeky smiled playing on his lips and arrogance was dripping from his features despite all that he was handsome.
the scene was so peaceful until
'BANG'
'BOOM'
'BOO'
'GOTCHA'
'EHHH'
The carriage stopped at the start of 12 differently mixed defensive and offensive voices and the peace returned.
the trio in carriage exchanged curious and frightened looks with each other when number of hands grabbed both the adviser's out of carriage.
the king peeked his head out to see the source of commotion and he screamed like a girl who had seen a spider. the sight before him was horrible 7 GIANT BANDIT'S with masks covering their faces were surrounded by unconscious bodies of his guards and advisers. he shivered.
"hello! king-chan come to daddy" teased a cheeky voice of white head.
the color from king's face drained and he got even paler if possible but he did something which he should have done.
"you ugly giant's how dare you attack me, i will kick you out from these woods" bellowed the king as his temper got the best of him.
After 2 minutes he found himself robbed and his cloths were all gone leaving his body fully naked except for his boxer that had strawberries printed on it.
"hey i like strawberries can i eat 'em up" asked the same white head.
the king sweat dropped and raced towards the only possible hiding he could see 'THE CASTLE OF CHELSEA' in front of him.
the wold masked guys roared with laughter.
"you really pushed his buttons tsubaki" hikaru stated hitting tsubaki playfully.
"who said i was joking?" tsubaki replied.
everyone sweat dropped (the 7 dwarfs)
"mind if i join you in it" kaname asked raising his hand.
subaru the grumpy one hit kaname hard on head
"SHUT UP pervert we can't afford you to get rejected by men too" subaru growled.
so how was it? was it cool? bad? or average?
