CHAPTER#7: GLAMOROUS BALL
Silence was creeping walls high at thrown room of Chelsea it seems that the palace residents and servants has gone to mount Caucasus. Every single person was bewailed by the situation although each of them had their own reasons. The prince and his faithful masaomi were blushing madly as they were still almost naked while the queen was bewailed to see young and handsome prince not to forget a naked one too.
"So you are from... venice?" said queen eyeing the prince from head to toe with expression of hunger.
Natsume flinched under her gaze.
"It's valencia your highness" masaomi managed to correct.
"Sorry for our condition we were robbed by bandits, giant bandits... we fought with courage but they out numbered us" reasoned the prince with a wisp of pride.
"How interesting" stated miwa absent minded because she was trailing her gaze over his six abs.
"WHAT?" natsumi asked confused to his faithful.
"what?" masaomi asked from queen.
"what?" miwa asked azusa while frowning.
"what?" asked azusa back from her.
The situation was so stupid.
"your highness It would be convenient if I get a shirt" requested natsumi feeling uncomfortable under miwa's gaze.
"A... Azusa prince seem to be shy by nature, give him some covering" miwa stammered.
"We welcome you people do enjoy your stay, tonight here will be a ball don't be late... Azusa you know what to do" rushed the queen before disappearing towards her room.
Natsumi was still feeling humiliated while azusa sighed because he know what she meant was to collect more tax from public to settle the biggest ball ever because this prince was sure rich and now she will meet the both ends to make her wedding possible with him.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ema was gazing at night stars out from her window when a pair of warm hands wrapped themselves around her small frame. She didn't move an inch because she knew it was Iori like every night who come and stay by her sight the whole time till dawn. Iori's warm lips found their way to her neck and kissed it softly. Ema smiled under his fragile touch and turned around to see his princely face.
"Missing me?" ema teased.
Iori just nodded before embracing her protectively. Ema had been like this with him since fortnight as once she heard him screaming for some girl in his sleep, it seem like he was going through hell of a pain and ema wanted to help him, sooth him so she was going with the flow with hope in her heart that she will learn the truth of Iori's past one day.
"You should go to today's ball and talk to that prince I told you earlier." Iori whispered.
"What can he do about my problem?" asked ema confused.
"He have an army, he-can-help-you-to-get-your-thrown" stated Iori frowning at her innocence.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ema was on edge of panic as she was late for the ball, it took her more time to find a right dress then she had expected. She have ran towards the ball when some funny noise from third corridor the forbidden one caught her attention. It was someone cursing his/her life with passion as the words being used were too colorful, as she got close she sensed to know that voice one right turn and she was facing the owner.
Ema's jaw hit the floor as standing against her was non other then the handsome lad with signature beauty mark, his presence was no surprise but his state totally blow-ed the word 'surprise'. Azusa was in his boxers with nothing but a tie on.
(A/N: this could be the fashion trend in 2030, well I will be looking forward to it)
"A...azusa-san" ema stammered with her eyes still wide.
Ema was the last person on earth azusa want to confront in his current state, he was blushing madly his eyes close and his body shaking in rage as he never wanted to be a piece of crap in front of the only girl he like. He was waiting for the worse, for ema to burst out laughing and run away to spread the hit but it never happened. Instead he felt a warm hand on his cheek to which he opened his eye slowly.
"Azusa what happened to you? did you get hurt?" ema asked with loads of concern in her voice.
"Bandits" azusa couldn't say more then this as he was deeply touched by this kind girl if he tried he would have cried right there.
"Come with me" with that ema took him to her room and after that every thing was a blur for azusa as he collapsed on her bed's foot.
~natsumi's pov:
This ball was so boring dipped in air of official royalties with old hag like queen and kings, the ladies giving me the way were all old enough to be my mother or rather grand mother and I was about to leave when I saw her.
A girl in white dress looking like an angle, she looked pretty much like the girl from forest, No... Wait she is that girl from forest. I made my way through crowd towards her.
"Hello Miss snow white" I greeted her.
She turned, startled by my sudden appearance. An unknown frown was on her face to which I frowned inconfusion.
"How do you know my pet name?" she asked sensing my frown.
Oh! so that was the case I thought something else.
"A pretty guess" I know it was the worst way of flirting.
"Um... I am ema white, the princess of this castle" she introduced herself bowing respectfully.
Ema is a nice name, ema natsumi they are made for each other I was calculating in my head when WAIT... did she just said princess?
"I am natsumi, the prince of valencia" I quickly introduced.
"You are the prince? Why didn't you say so back their in forest?" ema asked curiously.
"Do you really think a prince can be introduced in such condition" I blushed remembering my state at forest but to my surprise she giggled.
Aww... her laugh is cute I have to dance with her tonight.
"Would you like to have walk out in the garden?" snow asked hesitating.
walk? garden? even a better option. I nodded enthusiastically to which she beamed.
We were out under night sky with thousands of stars. The scene was too beautiful to describe a fountain, garden full of rose and two of us all alone. I think I am felling for this girl as my heart did the funny thing inside my chest.
We were out since an hour or two the time flew so fast it was the ending beats of music that reminded me that the party was over. I was so into her conversation that were about her childhood, her favorite food, her wishes, her friends that I lost track of time.
"Do you love someone?" the question blurted out from my mouth on its own.
She stared right in my eyes and we were sitting quite close.
"No!" she said too loud and covering her mouth with her hand she blushed.
I smiled softly and her answering smile was dazzling. Then I don't know what gotten into me that leaning close I put my hand on her cheek, she closed her eye as I was eyeing her lips with uneven breath. I leaned closer and our lips were an inch away when...
She pulled away too fast that every thing seemed almost a blur.
"I have to go" she panicked.
The next minute she was gone leaving a ring behind that slid out of her finger as her hand was in mine few seconds ago. I felt a twig of pain in my chest, a disappointment and sighing I stalked of towards the guest room.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
-Ema's pov:
I am sure I am dead meat today as miwa has seen me with prince, she must be bursting with rage right now what should I do my mind isn't working. What punishment is she gonna give me this time?
I was running towards my tower when pair of hands pulled me from behind and then every thing went black, I was caught in some sack and I could hear men voices.
"Quick you idiot bring her here, queen is getting furious" said one man to other.
My heart leaped as with each second I was getting closer to miwa but I have to speak for myself, for my people and for country. I was brutally dragged out of sack and thrown in miwa's feet.
"SNOW WHITE" miwa burst in raged.
I was planning to stand up today but at the sight of miwa my spirits dropped like air rapidly draw-ed out of some balloon. It was too quick and my mind could still not accept what she said with in few seconds of my arrival.
"TAKE HER TO FORBIDDEN FOREST AND FEED HER TO THE BEAST"
