Chapter -4

___________________________________

It was time for dinner and the rain started

Hairaeth loved the voice of the rain singing. They all ate food and returned to their rooms

She wanted to go outside but she remembered the warning lord of blades gave her "Don't go without telling me or I will make sure I slash you " his voice echoed in her head

But she thought * bruh how bad can it be.... I am sure there won't be monsters waiting to eat me..... Ufff till now he would have slept I can't even tell him... Wait let me disguise myself in the clothes of a knight but where will I get it? Uhmm Should I peek at his wardrobe? Nah nah. Stupid idea let me just see this wardrobe and find something which won't make me look like a dark kingdom princess..hmm*

She only found different kinds of beautiful gowns, Heavy brocade, stockings, tight-fitting doublets, long billowing dresses embellished with pearls and jewels, knee-length trousers, stiff linen collars or ruffs, magical colour-changing gowns, and feathered hats and capes. Oh yes, capes!.. At last, she found a black cape which was hooded and a mask which can help her hide her face

She tied her hair and wore it.

It was the most normal dress she could have found.

She found a long scarf and used it as a rope to jump down

When she looked outside the balcony

She saw the clear stars which come after rain and that fragrance of wet soil

She found a magic carpet awake. That horse-like magic carpet started making sound

It was embodied with red thread

"Shhh, please I am not your enemy... I am your friend... Please "

The magic carpet became calm like he was understanding her voice

She took the magic carpet and rode a few miles away and the carpet indicated a sign that he is tired.

They stopped at a small village where people were singing and dancing, some of them drunk and offering her drink, she drank some and then danced in with the beats of the song

Soon she saw a weird kind of shadow swallowing people present there

For god forbid she had knives in her hooded cape but when she threw knives at that shadow nothing happened instead that shadow swallowed it too

She freaked out and did her best to protect other people out there

People started to scream for help ... Her magical carpet also flew alone...

*aaaahhh someone save my child!! * screamed a women

Hairaeth ran to save that child... Shadow was going to sallow her but there came the lord of blades who threw his magical blades and then the shadow vanished

That lady thanked Hairaeth "Bless you, child!! May you always be happy and get the best husband!"

Hairaeth " showed her sign to say in a low voice as she knew now she was stuck. .. When Hairaeth turned back and their lord Of Blades was giving her a death stare and he grabbed her wrist as gently as he could keep her still and pushed her back saying "Didn't I tell you to not come outside the palace without my permission? Princess? "

She tried to move but failed and said "Who do you think you are to ask for permission ?" Said she in a drunk voice "

*Wait are you drunk? * Asked prince lawliet

"Yes, who are you to me that I have to ask for your permission before going? Are you, my husband? "

" wa what you are drunk badly," he said while blushing a bit but stopped his emotion afterwards saying "If I ever think of making you my wife then surely I won't turn back from it and I will make sure I make you mine" whispered he

She blushed and replied, "Then make me yours..."

Surprised for a while then tried to say but failed she continued

"Make me yours... Take my breath away....show your power in bed... You will lose there... You said you will finish me? Huh, then do it ... Do it... Make me tremble in your blanket .... Make me shiver... Do it "

He gazed into her eyes and said " I will, I promise and if it's like this I will make you mine from head to toe... No other person can touch you other than me and I will protect you, princess. A warrior is all you need when other knights will keep swords at your neck... I will finish them... I did it in my last life and I will do that in this too "

His eyes glowed in the dark giving her eye contact

"Haha funny" answered Hairaeth

"Let's go princess you are not safe here " said he while smirking

" I am not going with you ..... You need to try smarter next time "answered she

"I won't need another time... I will do it right now " * he lifted her in his arms saying "Let's go if you won't, you would be left here to be eaten by shadows "* he placed her on the horse and sat back... His hands touched her waist aside and then took the bridle of the horse in his hands.

asked him "What are you doing right now in the middle of the night? "

"It's none of your business " replied he... She said "Ugh this is wrong. Won't you tell to your future wife? "

* this girl Is fully different when she is drunk anyway I guess I should tell her what if she knows as she is the princess of the dark Fana kingdom *

"ok, there are shadow suckers nowadays which are gazing over our kingdom and we have no idea from where it has originated... Hm it has killed lakhs of people "

He got no answer * hm seems like she has slept....in his brain he said 'anyway I will make sure I shout at you in the morning so you never go without telling me "

She mumbled in a sleepy voice "I thought you were sleeping and I guess there was a case of shadow sucker in our kingdom but "

She slept while saying that last word

"But what, hairaith? " asked he

They reached the palace he put the horse back to the yard and took Hairaeth in his arms

Thinking * about how a person looks so innocent while sleeping but so different while being drunk and awake *

Soldiers at the door were confused about what happened

" lord, what happened! * exclaimed a knight

Knight freaked out seeing both of them in black hooded capes

" Shhh nothing " answered Lawliet

They entered the room. he placed her in bed and kissed her cheek saying "Good night, princess "

And he opened her shoes *even though he was still angry with her for running to explore like this without telling anyone

He was surely going to give her a lecture in the morning and for right something fun was going to happen

He reached his room and thought about what she was going to say after but * ugh this girl faints or sleeps at the wrong time... Anyway was she serious about what she said I have heard that people say more truth when they are drunk... Eh so indifferent well maybe this life could be a little different from that one. I guess I should sleep rather than overthink this it's going to be 3 am anyway.....*

He took out evidence which could help him connect the dots from his hooded cape, washed his hands and got ready to sleep
