My Knight & My Lady
Chapter 9: She's too stubborn to Confess
After an hour or so of showing Musa the castle, we decided to have some lemonade in the garden right now that seems to be her favorite place. A few minutes passed, and detective Mark shows up.
"Sorry for coming without a warning"
"It's ok, do you have any news?"
"Yes I do and Musa's medical results"
"Well?" I ask while looking at my princess, right now she does not want to know anything about this.
"It came back positive that she was raped, the team is in her castle looking for anything else that might serve as evidence"
"What happens now detective?"
"Well princess, once we gather a few more evidence I'll talk to the judge for a prosecution date"
"So once that's over, my father goes to jail, right?"
"Yes but there's more"
"What do you mean?"
"If your father goes to jail, you'll have six months to be wed or your cousin takes the throne"
"Great, form a year it goes down to six months"
"I'm afraid so, that's all I have for you guys, I'll come back if anything else happens"
"Thank you detective"
"Have a nice day"
He walks out of the garden, once I lost sight of him I turn my head only to find my princess missing. As I'm trying to guess where she is, I remembered that she tried to find the center of the maze where the water fountain is, once I take a few turns in the maze I find my princess in a dead end.
"Lost my lady?"
"Yeah and I told you that you can stop calling me that"
"I know, but I got used to it, plus it suits you"
She blushes and smiles at me "Now are you going to stand there or help me find the center of this maze?"
"Right this way princess"
We got to the center of the maze, and Musa's eyes widen once she sees the fountain.
"Riven, it's beautiful"
"Not as much as you"
"Thanks" her smile suddenly fades away
"Is there something wrong my princess?"
"No… ok yes"
"What is it?"
"I just don't know if we should continue"
"With your father's prosecution?"
"No I mean continue about us"
"You're not happy?"
"It's not that is just I'm just… scared"
"Why would you be scared princess? Love is natural"
"I know but I've never fell in love before, and I'm scared of… well everything"
"So you don't want us to be together?"
"Of cores I do Riven, I'm just scared… I really don't know how this love thing works and that scares me"
Her eyes start to water up, I lifted up her chin so I could get a good look at her.
"Princess, love is complicated, it has its ups and downs, but as long as you believe in yourself and in the person you love, nothing seems impossible… hard but not impossible"
She finally smiled and planted a small light kiss and gave me a hug. We went back to the garden and relaxed a little. We didn't realize that we were out in the garden for hours until I realized that Ally got back from school.
"So there you guys are I've been looking for you guys everywhere!"
"Hey Ally, how was school?" Musa asked with a surprised look on her face.
"It was great! We went on a field trip to Magix's forest to go into 3 groups of 5 to find a rare flower, and my team won, so get got extra credit for it!"
"Sound like fun"
"Ah no kidding Riven, hey where's dad?"
"Paper work"
"So practical of him, he needs to relax and spend time with us" She pouted
"Now Ally dad has a big job and you know how hard it is to be king and taking care of his people"
"I know, but I just wish we could go to the beach, we haven't done that in ages!"
"Let me see what I can do ok kiddo?"
"Ok, hey Musa can I sleep with you again?"
"Sure why not?"
"Yey more movies… oh I better tell nana to go make snacks, be back in a few!"
"Is she always this energetic?"
"You have no idea"
Musa giggled at the expression on my face. A few minutes later Ally came back with nana who's actually a maid but she's like a grandmother to us, since none of ours are alive.
"What's this nana?"
"A few finger foods Prince, besides both of ye have out here in the blazing sun with nothing to eat for hours, not to mentions that ye ran out of lemonade, so I brought some things for hungry bellies"
"Yum, nana you make the best finger food, look little sandwiches, mini cupcakes, cookies and ooh nana's iced tea!"
"Glad I make ye happy little princess, now do ye homework and eat, don't want none of ye to faint on this hot day now do we?"
"No nana and thank you"
"Ye welcome miss"
We sat and helped Ally with her homework; we ate and laughed for a few more hours, after we ran out of food the sun started to set, so we decided to head inside. It was getting late so Musa and Ally headed up to the guest room, I said my good nights and went to my room to take a nice bath and then hit the bed.
DARCY'S POV
"Damn it Jared took you long enough, so what news do you bring me?"
"Well not so good"
"Why? Is it bad enough that she left the castle leaving me not doing the damn spell?"
"Well she kind of told the prince that she kind of loves him"
"WHAT?"
"Look they were in the garden in the maze and she sort of confessed to him"
"No impossible, she's too stubborn to confess"
"Well she sort of did, and by the looks of it they might end up telling people"
"No, this can't happen; if they do I won't get the throne"
"Well as the 'royal gardener' in the prince's castle that's all I could get babe, I can't enter the castle without being a quire or a royal guard"
"No stay in your position, I know what I must do once my darling cousin come back from her little trip to the Princes castle… and she'll have no choice but to hand over the crown"
"What are you talking about babe?"
"Oh you'll see!"
AN: Thank you guys SO much for the reviews, I don't know how many of you guys read my other story 'Island Love' but as I mentioned in the other story I'm thinking of another idea for another story… Musa is a small country girl with talents and Riven is a single father who's a Record Producer who lost complete faith in love except the love he gets from his daughter… what do you guys think? Please review and let me know what you think about the idea, I'm planning on doing it after I'm done with these 2 stories first!
