Chapter 6: Wedding ?
"We're late, let's leave ?" I told Aimer as soon as I opened my eyes, but, what shocked me more was that I was laying on his damn lap ! Ok honestly it's going to be awkward after crying for about hours and then falling asleep on the lap of the Prince I just met. I-I can't believe I ranted my emotions out without being drunk, how the hell. I wouldn't have done this stupidity even after being drunk, and I was sober.
"No need to feel uncomfortable. I told you, yours secrets are safe with me, I won't benefot by leaking them too right ? Chill. We're friends now, don't hide anything." He spoke with a smile on his face. And it was so cute. His dimples were clearly visible, making that smile brighter. Difficult to get it, but yeah I appreciated a guy.
"Let's leave yeah ?" He repeated my words as he proceeded to get up and hop on Staycy once again. Both the horses were standing together. And to my surprise Wynn wasn't even making sounds anymore. Both of them felt quite comfortable with each other now.
"You like her ?" I whispered to Wynn's ears and caressed his head, and he responded by snuggling into my touch, I knew what it meant. Giving out a laugh I hopped on his back. But there were two pairs curious eyes staring at us.
"Secret haha." I spoke without looking at them. We followed the same path we came from. After exiting the forest, as soon as we entered the Kingdom, we put on our masks once again, the roads weren't empty as earlier, markets had already opened up and people had now started their day. Soon we reached the palace, heading to the horse stable I jumped off from Wynn and led him inside, placing his food in front of him, I left the place.
Both of us went to our rooms to get changed, since, we got to know that we had to attend a meeting with both- The Mortelle and The Luchadores, in the courtroom. After sometime I dressed up, picked up my sword and left for the meet.
Entering the room, I could feel a lot of eyes on me. I bowed in respect to both the Kings and the Queens and sat beside the Princes of Luchadore Kingdom.
"Hey !" I heard Aimer whispering, without facing me.
"Hm ?" Humming a response I leaned a bit towards his chair.
"What's with this sudden summit ?" He asked while tapping his foot.
"If I knew I wouldn't be here, I don't like wasting my time on useless conferences." I replied back and settled myself properly.
"Good morning everyone ! I'm not gonna take long and get to the point. It might be a bit shocking for a lot of people present here, including Winter." My father aka King Raven spoke in with a serious voice, making me wonder about the topic he is going to discuss about.
"Please welcome my eldest daughter Milan Mortel !" As soon as he declared about another daughter, I just flinched for a moment, but went back to normal once again. I knew about her already. As I earlier said, there are some secrets I wasn't supposed to know, but I can't help it if, they themselves clatter on my door. Soon a girl entered the room, wearing a silver gown, with gloves on and crown on top. I may not like luxurious clothes, but I still have a better recognition of clothes for sure. Her dress was surely not something, which could be wore in a formal meeting. Her face was enough to make me realize that she was a brat, but, I know it would be impossible to control me, if that's what her plans are.
"Good morning to the respected Kings and the Queen my beloved Princess and Princes, and all the respected members present here. I am Milan Mortel, the eldest daughter of King Raven. Due to some issues, I had to stay unidentified. But now, that everything is back to normal, I'm here. Thank you !" Milan gave her very boring speech and came and sat beside Aimer. What the hell.
"What the hell ? When was she born ? You knew about her ?" Both Aimer and his brother Lubert bombarded me with their questions.
"You can say I was aware of her existence. And of course, she can't just drop in suddenly right." I replied while rolling my eyes.
"We need to talk later." Aimer had a really deep and serious voice, it truly sent shivers down my spine.
"I, King Albert Luchador, took a very beneficial decision and maybe this is the right time to announce it. The Mortelle and The Luchadore Kingdom, want to turn our friendship into a relationship by getting my eldest son, Prince Aimer Luchador married with the eldest daughter of Mortelle Kingdom, Princess Milan Mortel." As soon as King Albert, completed his lines, mine along with Aimer's eyes popped out, as if going to fall off from our sockets. Maybe,we both didn't see this coming.
"I WON'T BE AGREEING TO A DECISION, I WAS INVOLVED IN AND WASN'T ASKED ABOUT !" Aimer's sudden outburst was something which made everyone startle in the room.
"AIMER ! Is that how you behave ?" Queen Veronica aka Aimer's mother shouted, which made him sit back on his seat with a sigh of disagreement.
"Daughter Milan, do you have any issue with this proposal ?" My mother aka Queen Aurella Mortel asked with such an annoying tone, made me puke right there.
"Of course no mother. I am totally fine, after all it's your decision." Milan replied with the most fake obedient voice, I ever heard, only if she wasn't my sister, I would have punched that plastic face of hers. Observing Milan's tone filled with excitement, I knew something was wrong, all this, the party, the invite of the Luchadors and the meet was either planned or it had a real big intention, that I can't yet get to.
"Then why do you have an issue Aimer ? Do you love someone ?" King Raven asked, raising his eyebrows while being suspicious.
"Help me." Aimer whispered as gently as possible, to avoid any misconception. Looking at his expressions and his outburst, I was aware that either he didn't want to marry my plastic sister or didn't want to marry yet.
"Go with the flow for now." I whispered back. Right now, all I had in my mind was, Milan and her secrets. For revealing this I needed a big help from Aimer, except him, it would be possible for me to reveal all those restricted information about her and my parents. Something was definitely wrong. Aimer glanced at me in confusion, but then continued to my instructions.
"Alright. I'm fine with this decision." He declared and looked at me, with confusion, sadness and a lot of emotions I couldn't understand. I just blinked my eyes, assuring him that everything would become normal and I would make sure of it.
