Chapter 45 Dimitri Intervenes…….Francois Confession to the Moon
Villa 8
The four knight just arrived from the market as they bought groceries for the foods that they will be cooking. The servants help them to gather all the items that they just bought, but they didn't allow Housekeeper Lee and the rest of the servants to do all the chores inside the kitchen for they are the ones who's going to prepare for their lunch. Housekeeper Lee wants to argue can't utter a word for all the knight told her that for today's schedule….she will be their queen mother… and the knights just told her also not to get involved for a meantime inside the kitchen. Dimitri chuckled as he watches how they tease and treat the old lady.
"My prince"! Dawn shouted as she run and saw Francois inside the kitchen. The other three knights chuckled as they watch the interaction of the two….. Dimitri also saw those scene "Dawn really likes Francois….. Francois scoops up the little girl as she gave him a kiss on his cheeks. "My prince are you going to cook something yummy for me" the little girl ask him….. "Yes my sweet pea, and you must be not here so that you will not accumulate the smell of the kitchen" Francois told the little girl. "Their little princess treats Francois as her father", Dimitri thought of this as he can also see that Francois treasures the twins so much. Dimitri walks beside them. Dimitri pats Francois shoulder, "Sweet pea, can I have a word to your prince for a while, I need to ask him something a little bit confidential is it okay with you"? Dimitri ask Dawn as he knows that he can't have Francois attention if Dawn is around, he knows that Francois's number 2 priority are the twins because Luna is his number 1. "Sure Handsome DJ, but be kind and gentle to him" Dawn replied; and before she gets down she gave Francois and Dimitri as kiss on their cheeks.
"I need your attention here four knights of HADES" Dimitri informed them with a cold and serious tone, as he finish his statement Ryder enters the kitchen and locks the door. The four knights knew that this will be a serious meeting and it looks like that they will be having a mission. Dimitri gestured for them to sit down and Ryder gave the four knights a 4 bottles of Peroni Nastro Azzurro Pale Lager. Dimitri and Ryder sat in front of the rectangular table indicating that they are the big boss of the HADES ORGANIZATION. In unison the four knight opened the bottle and drunk from it.
"As we all know that the four of you are rivals to Luna's heart. And for what I've learned that only three of you confess and propose to her. It's just that I also know the result of that confessions and proposal but each one of you didn't knew the results of each other's doing" Dimitri informed them. Ryder watches the reaction of each of them, as the four knights drunk the beer and can't utter any word from what Dimitri told them…..
"Alexei, Xavier and Marco already done the confession and the proposal thing" Dimitri's voice is so scary that they can feel hold serious he was; "Francois, we don't know what's running to your mind and even to your heart" he added. "But your actions speaks differently" Ryder added. Francois face turned pale like a sheet of a white paper, beads of sweats starts to form from his forehead. He maybe one of the strategist of HADES ORGANIZATION, a cruel, merciless, and heartless person but when it comes to Luna and the twins…. He was a sweet angel from above.
The three knights, Ryder and Dimitri look at Francois. "Do you like nor love Luna", Dimitri ask him. All eyes was on him; Francois felt that he was on the hot seat of hell, he can't deny it anymore he didn't realize that his actions betrayed him. Francois gulped the 2nd bottle of beer on his hand and gave a deep sigh.
"Yes, Yes I LOVE HER…. I LOVE Luna." Francois confess to the gentlemen around him….. He gave emphasis the word LOVE when he say it to them. "Finally!!!!" Xavier exclaimed. "I knew it", Alexei added "What you took so long to admit it and confess bro"? Marco told him. Dimitri and Ryder chuckled as they already knew Francois's feelings is just that he keeps on denying it when they ask him. Francois was surprise for the reaction of the three knights. He frown his brows for confusion. "Now that you confess to us, we don't need to torture you any more" Dimitri informed him. "What torture?" Francois told to himself.
"When are you going to confess to the Moon Francois" Xavier ask him. "Will it be fine with you guys if I confess and propose to her?" Francois ask them. "Yes" the three knight replied in unison. "Francois, we love Luna because she brightens our lives, and I love her wholeheartedly but whoever she choose among us is okay with me" Xavier informed him. "And when I told her my feelings with her 2 years ago…. She said that….. She can't accept it because she already have someone in her heart but that is not Louie Chen" Xavier added.
"Me too, she said that she treats me as her brother and mentor" Marco said to the group. Then everyone gazes to Alexei; "What!?..... Okay, When Luna gave birth to the twins and when I saw Francois so worried for her condition, I already knew that he have feelings for Luna. But I didn't ask everyone about her because I still need to deliver the twins. I can also see that time that Francois is deeply in love with her". Alexei informed them "I fell in love with Luna when she saves Pearl from Duke Lawrence wrath for the failed mission, that she took the blame for it for Pearl. I confess to her a month after that, but guessed what she told me that she already have someone she treasure the most in her heart. That person is the one who make her smile every time they meet. I really don't know who among us four knights she's specifying" Alexei added. The three knight already drank their 2nd bottle of beer and Francois drank his 3rd.
"You try to confess and propose to her today Francois, maybe the person she's telling to this three knights that she likes is you" said Ryder. "Because the only person that can make her smile and laugh is YOU" Dimitri told them as emphases the word "YOU". As he holds his 4th bottle of beer and drank it in one gulp and sigh deeply… "I'm afraid to confess to her, I can't ... no I don't know what to do if she rejects me". Francois explained to them.
"You must take the risk Francois, You'll never know what's inside her heart if you didn't try it" Ryder told him. It's better to take the risk and have the truth to be revealed rather than you're hanging for that certain feeling and didn't take the risk at all". Alexei added. "What I knew was, she is totally not IN LOVE with her ex…."Ryder added also. "Do you remember your song to Luna, the song you keep on humming and played on the piano, you play it in front of her and tell everything to her…. Tell her what's inside your heart and mind" Dimitri voiced him. "Then maybe she also feel the same way as you feel for her" Dimitri added as he winks his brows to Francois. Francois just sigh deeply for what Dimitri told him.
"Meeting adjourn knights, and Ryder and I will help you to cook as I can see that Francois is still at daze" Dimitri said as he laugh. Ryder pats Francois shoulder and whisper to him "why don't you plan for your confession after lunch as you play the song for her" after that Francois nods his head. "We must cook now and the hungry wolves will be arriving soon" said Marco.
Francois cook one of Luna's favorite dish Chicken Biryani, he wants it to be special. "I will do it today, it is now or never" Francois told to himself. "I'll confess to her…. And I hope I'm not too late and I won't regret it for not telling her as early as before" he keeps to telling himself.
