Chapter 20
Well, that was wired. What is his problem? And why was he hurt? What for? Ill find out. Christian and Lissa left to do whatever and it got really wired with the king. He showed me a little more and then I just got so tired. I told him I wanted to go to my room.
He told Guard Anton to escort me back to my room because he has some business to attend. By the time we came back it was past lunch hour and I was hungry. I told Alina to get some food for me. I sat on the sofa and leaned my head back. Trying to think what happened today.
The King talked about his mom with adoration and yet when he talked about her again it was with pure venom. But how could one have two sides for one person. Maybe Queen Tatiana was a better mother then a Queen. Maybe when she gave the King the love of a mother he loved it when she was in her Queen form he hated.
But he was just like his mother. Then how could he not like her? Even when she was the in her Queen form. There are so many secrets that lay in this palace. When I first met King Adrian all I thought he was a womanizer. Got every women in his bed and never respected them but today changed that. I saw something else. Maybe he was not the person he showed.
Alina brought food for me and I finished it all off. I yawned and going to bed sounded really good. As I got up there was a knock on the door. Vera opened it up and walked in Guard Anton. "Your Majesty, sorry to disturb you, Lady Victoria and Lady Sydney would like to meet you." He said. Why do they want to see me?
"I don't wish to see them." I said to him he nodded and just left closing the door behind. I don't think I want to see them anytime soon. I was just to mad right now. I will talk to them but not right now. I just went to bed and to my surprise sleep came to me ass soon as I hit the pillow.
I was in the palace Church. It was nice here. A lot of people sat in the chairs, it was full. I was wearing a white wedding dress. Zoya, my flower girl made her entry and then followed my ladies Sydney and Viktoria and then Lissa walked in. It was my turn to walk down. There was a big smile on my face as I walked down the aisle.
There stood at the altar was Dimitri. He smiled at me when our eyes met and at that time everything vanished from there. And it was only Dimitri and I. When I was there he held his hand out for me and brought me up. I wish this moment could just freeze right now. It was just perfect.
The priest did his thing until it was time for us to say the words I have been waiting. "I do" Dimitri said and it was turn again the priest said something and all I said, "I do." And the priest said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride." And Dimitri lowered his face to mine and kissed me.
I woke up, and reality hit me. It was just a dream. But I wish it could have been real. A tear slipped down my cheek. I missed him. "Dimitri come back." I whispered to my self. I just sat there thinking about Dimitri. I wonder where is he? Is he going to come back for my rescue?
I wiped my tear of and got up and went to the bathroom to fresh up. I washed my face with a cold water to just get the pain away. I walked out and went straight to my wardrobe. I looked through the dresses to wear something comfortable. I got a navy blue gown out. It had nice beading down on it. There was a white gown under and the cape was in navy blue. I changed and sat down in front of the mirror. Vera started doing my hair for me.
She combed it out very gently and breaded my hair leaving some hair out on the sides. I wore a nice sapphire earrings with a matching pendant. I got up and walked out of the room. Guard Anton was standing out. He walked ahead of me and I followed with Alina and Vera trailing behind me.
It was time for dinner now. Everyone was already seated. I went and took my seat next to Lissa who sat next to Christian. And waited for the food be laid on the table. I was feeling low, with the dream and missing Dimitri. I looked up and saw prince Asim sitting across from me and looking at me.
Our eyes met and I just could not look away. It was if I could melt into those beautiful eyes. There were so many emotions going on in those eyes, as if they were pleading to me. They said so much to me. But there was also a barrier up. I took my eyes from his and looked at Lissa who was calling my name.
"Are you ok?" She asked. Am I ok? No!
"Yes," I said. And I noticed the food was now on the table. Everyone ate in silence. I steeled some glances at Asim and saw him looking at me more then paying attention to his food. He did not even touch his plate. What was up with him?
Soon we all finished and we all said our good beys and started to leave but I made the king stop again.
"Your Majesty can you go on a walk with me in the gardens?" I asked him and the look on his face said he was annoyed.
"I have to attend other things." He said.
"Please only for a bit." I batted my eyes at him. He signed and said,
"Ok," And we walked off. The walk to the garden was silent. As if we both didn't enjoy each others company.
"We haven't had time to talk about it but I was wondering how many kids do you want?" I asked him and looked at his face. The look was just priceless.
"Um I already have enough kids." He said.
"But I want kids." I said.
"I don't know maybe we can have one." He said.
"But I want more then one." I said. He just stared at me with horror.
"I don't think I would want more then one." He said.
"I can compromise on that I think. This is what you do when you are in love with someone. You comprise things for them." I said and pretended I was sad.
"But if you love someone you don't have to compromise." I turned around to see who it was. And it was Prince Asim again giving the king and me a glare.
"Prince Asim, so nice of you to join us." Adrian said. He walked up to us.
"It's not nice listening to someone's personal conversation." I said.
"Personal conversations happen behind closed doors not in the open." He said and gave me a sharp look.
"At least have some-" "Prince Asim how is your stay at the palace going? I hope you are enjoying your stay." I was cut of by Adrian.
"Its great, Russia not something that I had heard about." He said. I just glared at him. He is talking about Russia but yet he is something that he does not look like. I just get the vibe from him that he is so mysterious and has a lot of secrets.
"I was wondering if we could talk somewhere private?" Prince Asim said to King Adrian.
Adrian turned to look at me and asked,
"If you don't mind can I?"
"Sure we can spend some more time together tomorrow." I said and faked smile. I could feel someone getting really pissed. And I don't care! He has some great issues and he should just go and solve them.
I gave my hand out to Adrian to kiss it and then go. He use to love doing that but what happened now? He hesitated but took my hand and kissed it and left. I just stared at both of them as they left. I signed. What was I doing? This was not right. It felt like I was cheating on Dimitri.
No one came with us. So now I was standing alone in this lonely dark garden. The fresh air was hitting on my skin sending chills down my spine. It was cold but not to cold to freeze me. As I took a breath in, I could smell the flowers, making me just want to melt.
It was kind of relaxing. The moon was shinning down covered with some clouds. Stars made the sky look beautiful. It looked like the sky had some nice diamonds in it. Everything was so calm and relaxing. It was so quite as if no one existed. Everything was just beautiful.
I wish I could just stay here in this moment forever. It made me calm and made me forget about everything and let me just enjoy this moment. All I thought about was happy memories, memories of my childhood.
When Mason and I always use to fight and bicker. When he use to play with me, letting me dress him up in princess dresses and how he always use to protect me. Memories of my dad floated in my head.
How he always use to teach us how to respect others and believe in your heart. He was always there protecting us yet let us out to learn on our own how to fight with this cruel world.
Memories of Zoya came to me. When I first held her in my arms. She looked a lot like me. How she made me smile every day and how much I loved her.
I remembered all the time spent with my ladies talking about all the good looking guards and how they use to tease me about Dimitri. His face flashed in my head making me remember his dazzling smile that you only got to see if you got lucky that day.
His worries for everyone and how he always put him self in front of danger. How he use to kiss me with so much love that I would have butterflies in stomach. We always use to sneak out and would spend time together without anyone noticing.
All the memories brought a smile to my face. I was doing this for them, for their sacrifice. I stayed like this here, I didn't want to go back in. It was all evil. Here it was just so good. Being alone out in this beautiful night made me forget everything and just think about happy stuff.
Which made me feel like I was free, free like a bird, who could just do whatever she wanted, fly high with no worries and let air hit her making her want to fly even higher. How life be this beautiful and yet be this cruel? I don't know how long I stood here but it felt like just five minutes.
I took a last deep breath in and walked in to the palace with a smile plaster on my face. I was not looking where I was going until I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw the queen bitch giving me a hard glare. Her eyes were so devil.
"Rosemarie what are you doing here?" She asked me with a strict voice.
"His Majesty and I were walking in the garden but he had to go for some business so I am returning back to my room. Your Highness," I said to her.
"Its good to see you have accepted defeat against us. Either way you would have never won." She said. I wish I could just rip her head of.
"It's not about wining or loosing. Its about your people who have faith in you and fight to protect you. It not about you or I. Its about our people." I said. She gave me an evil smile and said,
"Ah you are just like your father." And with that she walked of with her ladies trailing behind her like a lost puppy. She didn't even know my father let alone know I am just like him.
