Chapter 14: After Years
I was about to go to bed when I
heard a knocked on my door. I
stood up and saw Gaile and Faye
standing gazing at me. They
breathe too fast.
“You two. You okey?” I asked
then.
“You’re really her..” they said in
chorus. Then they hugged me so
tight. I smiled at them and offer
them to enter in my room.
“Did you both run away?” I
asked.
“Yeah! We run just to confirm
that you’re really still her in
the Palace.” Faye answered
while drinking a glass of water.
“Right, Aunt Elisa told us that
the King let you stay. And just
punished you. We’re so happy
that you’d be join us for the
next training.” Faye added.
“But..Sad to say that you lose
the chance to talked to Prince
Dale personally.” Gaile said,
and lay down into my bed.
“It’s okey, one of day maybe I
could.” I just simply answered.
Gaile and Faye tell me what
happen this day. They told me
that three ladies been quit this
morning and decided to go back
home. There are only nine of us
left for the competition. I was
wondering what will be the
next training do we have to do
the next day. It’s always a
question.
“Anyway, Chloe. We have to go
back to our rooms now. See you
tomorrow on the ground.” Gaile
said, she stood up and handed
Faye out of the room. I just
smile and go to the terrace when
I see a familiar face on the
garden. Is that Prince Dale. And
who is he talking to. I couldn’t
see the face of the guy standing
in front of him. The moon is
too dark tonight and the palace
light is the only one who gives
brightness to the surrounding.
They looked so serious and feels
like that they we’re so close to
each other. I knew it because
of the way they talk to each other.
I also heard a laugh from Prince
Dale. Oh, my... is that Prince
David? I asked my self. Maybe,
he is. Aunt Elisa told me that
the school term is about to end.
And it’s not possible that he
arrived already. I felt the
excitement. I need to see his
face, so I decided to go out and
use the backstairs so that I could
hide from the trees. But, im
late. I can no longer see them
from where they are standing.
I take a deep breathe and lean
on my back of the wall.
“You look pale..you’re looking
for someone or something?”
I heard someone’s voice from
nowhere. I’m almost fall off
because of it. I can’t see
anything, it’s more darker in
here.
“Hahaha.. You should not drink
too much coffee.” he said. I
know what he mean. My heart
is beating so fast. Who is this
man? Is he the Prince? I felt
more nervous. What if he really
the Prince? I’m not ready to
see him.
“Your still the same girl I meet
a years ago.” he said,
“Huh? Who are you?” I asked
him. Then I saw a shadow
coming from the other side of
the wall. I was so shocked when
I saw Prince Dale smiling at me.
He looked more handsome than
before. Even if years passed.
“A-ahh...” I can’t find a right
words to say. I looked down.
“Hey, young lady.. why you’re
not speaking?” he asked me.
Why your here?
“I’m sorry your highness..” I
said. I can’t tell him the reason
why I am here hiding.
“You lied again..” he answered.
Your not a good actress young
lady... I still remember that
lines back then. I’m so
embarrassed that night and
it happen again.
“Don’t worry, I still don’t punish
you. But you owe two times.
Follow me.” he added then
walk so I followed him like
what he said.
I stopped from walking when
I saw a familiar place. “Did
you remember this place?” he
asked me at seat on a bench.
“Yes, I answered.
“It’s been a years since the
coronation night and the place
is still the same isn’t it?” I
occupied the seat next to him.
“Yeah, it looks like the same.”
“I know that this day will come.
And I’m right. Your lucky to be
here.”
Gaile and Faye will be envious,
if I tell this to them. Aunt Elisa
is right of describing Prince
Dale. His so nice and smart. He
told me how happy he is being
with Princess Kaitlyn. And told
me that the Princess is bearing
there child in her tummy. They
will soon be a happy complete
family. It’s a big surprised to
the palace. And I’m lucky that
Prince Dale he told me a secret.
I go back to my room with a
big smile. I wasn’t expected that
he still remember me.
“I hope you’d win this
competition..Prince David will
be happy if you do. So please,
win this battle for him. I’m
looking forward to see you
around not being in a
competition but being a part
of the family. His excited to
see you.
What does Prince Dale mean
about his last world? His
excited to see you. Why me?
We don’t even meet yet. Maybe,
Prince Dale told him about
me. It’s been in a middle of
night but I’m still awake. I
can’t sleep. Oh, not now. I have
to rest tonight and be ready for
the next challenge.
