22 Chapter

Espen and his guard slash boyfriend sat next to each other. Arthur and Celestia came in and looked at the guard and a red Espen. I can't stop laughing. I have tears from laughing so hard. Arthur came to me and checked me a bit worried. I shook my head letting him know that I'm fine. I stopped laughing after some time and wiped my tears away. 'So what was so funny?' Arthur asked me. I looked at him 'I saw Espen and his BOYFRIEND make out of the table.' I told him cracking a bit up again. Espen and his boyfriend got even redder on their faces. Arthur and Celestia looked at each other. 'Pay up!' Said Celestia while laughing. Arthur groaned and gave her 25 dollars. Espen, his boyfriend, and i looked at them confused. 'Oh I bet with Arthur that Espen is gay and he bet that he is straight.' She said laughing. We looked at each other, and then we all started to laugh. The maids came with food into the dining room looking confused as to why we all were laughing. They placed the food and drinks on the table walking out still confused. After some time we all calmed down and started to eat. Espen's boyfriend joined us with breakfast too. We asked him all kinds of questions like 'What is his name? How old he is ect.' His name is Jackson and he is 23 years old. We all can see that they love each other. I wonder... 'How long are you together?' I asked them. 'Not longer than a week maybe two?' Jackson answered. 

Espen leans against Jackson's chest. He closed his eyes and smiled. I smiled looking at him and his boyfriend. 'I'm happy for them.' I thought taking a bite of the food. Arthur kissed Celestia's head. She giggled and returned the favor. When we finished eating Marcel came in the room half asleep. He looked at all of us and greeted us all. We greeted him back. He sat down and he started to eat too. When i was done i excused myself and went out of the room. I went to the stables and went to my horse. I sat down next to my horse and she lay next to me. I petted her and leaned against her. I closed my eyes enjoying her company. I believe i fell asleep because i woke up by people screaming my name. I sat up and stretched out before i got up. 'I'm here!' I screamed back. I heard someone running towards me. I rubbed my eyes, but before i could open them I was pulled into a hug. I looked up to see Arthur with red eyes and cheeks. He looked like he was crying. 'I FOUND HER GUYS!' He screamed at the top of his lungs. He looked a bit mad at me, I felt guilty that he was crying because of me....once again. 'You can't just disappear! We were so worried about you!' He shouted at me. I looked down knowing that i caused him so much worry. Espen, Celestia, and Jackson joined us in a hug after finding us. They all scolded me before snuggling. After we all pulled away Arthur picked me up and placed me on his shoulder as a sack of potatoes! 'Hey! Put me downnnnn!' I demanded. He chuckled 'I won't. This is your punishment for making us so worried about you.' He said carrying me back to the castle. The rest followed us, they all holding their laughs back. 

We got inside the castle and he placed me down on the floor. I looked at him and he looked at me before hugging Celestia. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer, he kissed her head and she giggled. I looked around bit bored. I heard someone running toward us and i looked up to see who was running. It was Marcel. He pulled me into a tight hug when he could reach out for me. I looked at him shocked and froze for some seconds. He pulled away and i saw the worried expression on his face. 'Thank god! Your okay!?' He asked me and started to check for any wounds. I chuckled before answering him. 'I'm fine. I fell asleep next to my horse.' He again pulled me into the hug. 'Ahem. Can you let her go please?' Asked Espen in an overprotective brotherly tone. Marcel let me go with a soft chuckle. I chuckled and shook my head. I could feel Marcel's eyes on me, so i looked up and our eyes met each other. We looked into each other eyes for a bit too long. It wasn't awkward but....more peaceful?
