IN MY FORMER LIFE chapter eleven

 Celine lay on the bed in her room, she wondered why crown prince Logan had not said anything and who the hell was taking her place as his insider. Well, she could do nothing because she was still not allowed to leave for whatsoever. Staying in the palace was boring; eat, sleep, and work if you wanted. There was nothing exciting. She decided to go around the palace, there must be someplace she hadn't been to before. 

 The sun was shining brighter than ever, it meant good luck. Then she saw a door.

I knew it. She thought. But why were guards there. She walked forward only for the guards to block the way. "Can't I come in?", she asked and they said nothing. Then the youngest which she later learnt was Mellitus said," The crown prince Alexandro is having his quiet time". Celine rolled her eyes." Doing what?". "Painting". He had said he would've been a painter if not for his Prince title. 

Celine made to enter but the guards blocked her way. Using a skill she has learnt during her days as a gangster, she threw the guard who blocked her way down and pushed open the door. Crown prince Alexandro turned to see her and the guard on the ground. "I heard you have your quiet time here, so I came to join you", she said grinning. He said nothing. After staring at her for sometime, he turned back to his work. Celine shrugged. She took in the sight of the room, it was colourful, the paintings were unique and held emotions in contrast to how this prince was. "Is this an art gallery or something?", She asked no one in particular but he answered,"It is". She nodded thoughtfully. Taking in the sights once more, she saw an unfinished drawing. It was the drawing of a woman. 

I thought the crown prince knew no woman. Ha. She thought. "This is a drawing of a woman", she said and he said nothing,but kept drawing. She reached out to feel it. "Don't touch it". It was a command and so she withdrew her hand, not also wanting this prince's bad side. "Well, they are drawings worth completing while others should be left incomplete"

"Why do you say so?", he asked and she thought for sometime before speaking. "When you let things go, only then will you find new things. By the way, it should be finer incomplete ". He shook his head at her and continued. He was drawing the market place. "Have you ever been to the market place?", She asked. "No, why?"

"Well, this looks like the future market place of Xavier;happy and all satisfying ". He stopped painting and turned to her with interest. "How is it then?". Celine sighed. "It's moody and usually filled with pickpockets and thieves and rotten veggies. That's a typical xavian market place ". He nodded slowly. 

Suddenly, Celine said just to brighten the mood, "In my former life, you could describe me as Michael Angelo the second"

 Crown prince Alexandro looked pitifully at her, then scoffed. He handed her a brush and a clean sheet of paper. "Huh?" She looked at his hand. "Paint so we can both have peace of mind". Celine smiled. "As I said that was my former life"

"You talk like you're reliving your former life, I bet you could do this". Celine laughed . " You're kidding". There was silence. The silence lasted for about three to five minutes before the crown prince Alexandro spoke. " I don't believe in people gloating about their past achievements, I believe in the present and the future. That's what you should gloat about". Celine was sure he felt so cool saying this then she said,"You don't know your future, but you know your past, even if your future is all lined up for you, you still don't know it". Crown prince Alexandro dropped the things on the floor andmade to walk out, then Celine said,"I can help you get the throne from your mother ". The prince nodded. "I don't need your help" . And he left. Celine sat on the floor and sighed. This mission was going to take long to achieve.
