Why so embarrassed?

"Thank you My Queen, King" I said bowing deeply.

Magnus came from behind me and stood beside me. "You have arrived. I hope the journey was pleasant" he asked his parents.

"Very. Especially because we have come home with Rokha's New Queen" Louis said. The maids stopped working and stood erect, staring and taking in the appearance of me. I feel kinda odd with their stares.

"Do you mind getting back to work?" It's Magnus.

The maids and servants didn't hesitate to continue working.

He is a terror huh? All kings should be that way.

It's like red is the general color of Rokha. It actually fits the name of the Empire anyway. All the maids have red on, even Anastasia and Louis have an all red outfit. Only I and Magnus are standing with green and blue outfits. It sucks really.

"Madeline and Kahn will have you both dressed up in no time. Make your way to the throne room after" Anastasia said and I nod respectfully.

A maid and a servant walked towards us and bowed deeply.

"Welcome Madam, my name is Madeline and I am your personal maid"

A very respectful and beautiful maid. Too good to be true.

"Thank you, Madeline. You can call me Lyla" I say with a smile. She stands erect and nod slightly.

"I am Kahn your highness, the head of the personal servants of his Majesty. You're Welcome" Kahn said and I don't miss Magnus rolling his eyes.

"Thank you, Kahn. I'm Lyla, a pleasure to meet you"

"The Pleasure is mine, Your Majesty" Kahn said and I smiled. I love this people already. The respect they give to people that they don't even know is outrageous!

"Take her to get a bath and dress her up. Be back in ten minutes" Magnus ordered and Madeline immediately led me off to the room.

I looked back at Magnus as he talked to Kahn. He looks more... More handsome in this red palace of the Rokha Dynasty.

The room Madeline leads me to is all red and just a pinch of orange. But I guess the orange is not that visible so I will say everything is red. Totally Red.

"Please turn around My lady. I need to have this dress off you now"

I turned and allowed her to do the work. She slipped the dress off me and I immediately feel a pang of embarrassment engulf me. It isn't my Castle nor the Castle I grew up in, so I have to feel embarrassed standing in front of this beautiful maid with only my inner wears. I hold up my dress to cover my body and she chuckled out loud.

"We are both females, Madam. Besides, the body of yours is too good in the eyes of men" I blush at this statement. If she can only say that again.

I nod in appreciation and she carries out her duty on me. I had a hot bubble bath and she dressed me up in an all red dress, flays everywhere and the red looks like it's made out of feathers. Huh, it looks nice on me anyway.

And another thing is that, it seems the women of Rokha loves short things.

The dress is not that lengthy to my knee. It is above my knees, but it is one fabulous dress. The accessories like the necklace, ankle bangles, earrings and others are matching to the dress and the person wearing it.

"Do you need a make up to keep you active?" Madeline asks.

"No. My appearance should be the first thing they see now that I am in a new Kingdom" I reply briefly

Madeline nodded. "You are already one wise and beautiful Queen and wife. I see Rokha not regretting anything accepting you to be their Queen"

My face lighten up at this and I thank her casually. "Thank you"

The doors leading to the throne room split open and the guards guarding it bowed deeply. I smile a little and nod to them as they both rise with smiles on their faces.

"I am telling you, Louis. Magnus should not be this confrontive about his wife. We cannot make what he likes our priority... "

I listen carefully to this when I enter the throne room. I am causing an argument between them. I thought this was settled before I came here, what else brought this up?

The door opens again and this time, both the Queen and King takes notice of it and that's when they realized that I have been in their presence, hearing their little argument.

Magnus entered with a red suit on his body. His white hair slipped down his shoulders. He didn't even pack it but it's nicely gelled. He have a weird style made on it, but it fits him actually.

We both stared up at the King and Queen and they felt ashamed immediately.

I don't think Magnus heard anything, so why are they so embarrassed?

"What is this all about?" Magnus asked and I look at him by my side.

"What is it son?"

"Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about" Magnus snapped.

Or maybe he heard what they said. Oh... I can see their reason for such embarrassment.

"Why will you be talking behind us when you don't even like the person you brought into this palace? That's the exact thing you did to Stella three years ago"

Stella? Who's Stella?

Like he heard my thoughts again, he turned and looked at me. Our eyes got locked up again and I break the eye contact to look up at his parents on the thrones.

"Don't... Don't you like me?" I ask with squinted eyes.

Louis stares at Anastasia with a bit of confidence that probably she can answer my question, because she was the one I caught talking about me to her husband, so...

"We do dear it's just... We don't want Magnus to hurt anyone"

How dare you talk about him to me like that?!

"He won't hurt anyone! He is your son! Why don't you trust his abilities?!" I ask angry now.

Louis nodded calmly, like in his thoughts and I shake my head to get rid of stupid thoughts in my damn ass brain.

"If you don't want him to be King, why bring me?" I ask silently but it echoed round the hall.

I feel sick with all these Kingdom lifestyle nowadays. It makes me to remember my father, some King of Barune.

I made an attempt to walk out of the throne room, ordering Madeline to lead me out to my room.

But my legs keep steady. My right arm being held back and I remember the main reason why I am here.

To marry this Prince and become Queen of Barune and Rokha. To know more about this Prince. And his family.

I stop in my tracks due to the hold of Magnus and turned around.

They should say what they want to say and they should say it fast.

"My apologies for such act, Lyla" Louis voice rang in my ears and for some reason, I also apologized.

"I also... Apologize" I say with my head bent down lowly and I feel my heart speed up extraordinarily.

"We called both of you here to let you know that your wedding will be held on the third night of the third Saturday of this month"

He should stop talking in parables and just hit the nail on the head. The third Saturday is this Saturday so what's with the long grammar?

I will be getting married to Magnus by Saturday. For some reason I feel like the day is too long.

"So for the next three days, you both will have some time together. A day or two should be okay to know a lot about each other, while the third days should be enough for preparation, understood?" Louis asked and I nod.

I turn to him and Magnus said nothing but stared down at the ground. I feel nervousness wash over him, I know it cause I feel it too.

I feel it. So much, But...

I feel happy. Happy to marry Magnus.
