Mia left Ava to ponder on her thoughts. 'You are his highnesses personal maid.' Mia's voice echoed in her head, and like she realized something, she springed up running outside. She ran through the dark corridor like she was looking for someone or something.
When she was in front of a room she halted.
She retraced her way back to where Enzo had taken her to when she was caught.
The black haired man's room.
She was surprised there was no guard at the gate of his house. She had plan to scream of they held her back. Nevertheless she entered.
She hesitated to knock on the door not because she scared but something seems off about the place, or the atmosphere rather. it colder than before. Earlier when she was here, it wasn't this cold. it's like a frost land now. She found herself shivering and she wrapped her hands around her arms, and her teeth chattered together. the pressure of the cold seem to Increase every second.
After countless contemplations matched with the freezing atmosphere, she raised her shaky hand to knock if the door, but the door opened before her knockles could touch the door. and she completely froze with eye wild open.
He-he..he is covered with sweat all over his face dropping down like he had just poured water in his face. she would have thought the same but the look on his face made her believe that wasn't the case.
Little ice flakes settled on his brows, his body Was so pale like a paper sheet, and his lips white. His trembling hands clinged on the door for support. "Leave.." came his husky voice, bringing Ava back to reality.
The....the cold...it was actually coming form him..
but why??
Her eyes landed on his trembling hands which were covered in small beads of cold sweats. She could do nothing but stare at him. the atmosphere in the room seems to be colder to the one outside.
He's going to freeze to death..
Ava thought and opened her mouth to speak when she suddenly felt something drag her backwards, and instinctively she stretched her arms to Keliel. She felt as though her energy was drained from her. her kneels weakened but she did her best to keep standing as she struggled to free herself from the invisible hand dragging her.
Not again!!
She's feeling dizzy... She'll pass out..She must be awake.. but it was all futile because she was embraced by the darkness which overpowered her.
back in the room...
"Highness.." Enzo hissed as he held Keliel by his arm guilding him to the bed. "Why would you..haaa.." he sighed after a long stare at Keliel.. "Lord Zephyr would be here soon, hang on..." he said then laid Keliel gently on the bed. He is really freezing, the ice flakes have increased and spread throughout almost every part of his body. Enzo rushed to the kitchen to get fire to at least warm him a little.. "I'll go get some fire.." He said then hastily walked out. "Where is she??" he asked man who was standing at the gate of the house. "Raven took her, isn't that eat you asked him to do?" The man raised a brow... Enzo sighed before speaking.. "And Alda?" he asked after scanning the environment and seeing only the person speaking to him the only person present.. "Frozen." the man said casually. "that guy.." Enzo sighed... "Make sure he erases her memory." He said firmly to the young lad. "Sure, he'ld remember.." the man grinned.. Enzo nodded then walked away..
Enzo took a basin of charcaol fire from the kitchen then walked back to Keliel's room. He halted when he was few meters from the room. He heaved a sigh of relief then turned back walking to the kitchen...
Next morning..
Ava woke up with a slight headache.."Shhhh..." she hissed as she sat up slowly.. "Good morning.." A familiar voice spoke entering the room. "Good morning.." came Ava's haggered voice.. "Here.."Mia handed her a cup of water.."thanks.." She quickly gulped the water untill not a drop of water remained in the cup.. "woah, that was fast.."Mia chuckled at Ava's impatience.. "haaaa... more.." Ava pointed the cup at Mia to refill it.. "hey you need to prepare for you're day, you have some trannings to do." Mia said uncovering the duvet from Ava's body.."Trannings??" Ava frowned confused.."You've forgotten so quick.." Mia sighed.. "You need to go through some trannings before you can serve his highness." Mia said. And instatly Ava's eyes widened, what!! am I??? then she remembered something..she went to his chamber yesterday, she was planning on persuading him... "....!!" She gasped, Sher eyes wild opened and she quickly turned to Mia.. "What happened to him??" Ava asked, and Mia went still..
D..did she remembered?? Mia thought..
"He..he was freezing least night..what was that??" Ava asked again.."y..y..you..re-member?? Mia choked out.
"w.. what do you mean??" Ava asked confusedly. "w..i.." Mia was short of words and she quickly rose up. "I..uhmm...I need to do something.." she smiled faintly to cover the shocked expression plastered on her face. "...??" Ava looked at Mia confused as she walked out of the room..
"S..s..she what!?" Alda's eyes widened. He had the same reaction Mia had when Ava asked her about the prince. "H..how.. or.." His gaze slowly turned to look at Raven who was staring into space.. "Raven.. don't tell me.." he ate the rest of his words when he got a cold hard glare from Raven. "What do we do now??' Mia interrupted her face slightly panicked.. "haaaa...." Alda sighed.. "by the way where is Enzo and Orion??" Mia looked at Alda.. "hum?" Alda shrugged showing he has no idea.. "Raven??" Mia called atleast to hear something from him.. "I..I don't know how she..I erased her memories of last night..so.." Raven said still looking into space though wearing a confused expression. 'We must Inform his highness." Mia declared. "No! not yet.." Alda objected asked rose up. "why?" Mia asked confusedly. "he still have six more days to go, let not bother him with that, instead let report to Lord Zephyr." He explained.. Mia looked at Raven as if asking for his opinion, but he nodded in agreement with Alda. "okay let go, we have no time." She said and walked out Immediately..
"Greetings you're highness." Three of them chorused. "hum..." Zephyr said. He was in the garden when they came to him, bit try are currently in his room, since he sensed they had something important to say. "Highness.." Mia started. "last night, uhmm..someone saw his highness.." Mia paused to see the expression on Zephyr's face but she found none. he face was expressionless, but she felt the aura around him changed and she gulped air before she proceeded. " Luckily Enzo arrived on time, and Raven was to make her unciousness and then erase her memories, but this morning when she woke up she actually remembered, she asked about his highness and why... why he was like that " Mia managed to complete the last line. Raven, And Alda just stood beside her with their heads down. Zephyr didn't say anything till Mia finished narrating. He seems to be in thought but then he spoke up. "Who is she?" his sharp voice sounded. "uhm... I..his highness actually saved her and planned on making her his maid " Mia quickly said.. "Am sorry you're highness it's my fault, please punish me." Raven said, causing Zephyr to look at him. "No need for that, train her on how to serve as a maid.." a short tin line curved on his lips..
