Chapter Seven
"Skyla have you noticed the way Prince Rosario has been looking at you? It is so obvious how he feels about you." Luna gushed, both twins sitting on their queen-sized bed. Skyla blushed a deep red. She had noticed the way he had looked at her. She pretended she did not see it, but she could feel the intensity of his stare on her. " Yes, I have Luna. It's not that hard to notice. He isn't embarrassed about it." Skyla stated. Luna had seen the way Prince Rosario looked at her sister. It was honestly entertaining, seeing how jealous the Prince was when Skyla was laughing with King Ambrosio or any man that came up to her. He would glare at the person until they looked to him and found him glaring saying with his eyes," that girl is mine" and continue to glare at them until they excused themselves, of course it did not reach his father who happily chatted and laughed away. It was even more so, when his younger brother, Prince Aurelio got to sit on her lap and got smothered in kisses, which he happily accepted,giggled and kissed her on her cheeks. Prince Rosario pouted and refused to look at them so he looked to Luna and asked all sorts of questions on the topic of Skyla. Luna, thought that Skyla and Prince Rosario would make a good match. It seemed to Luna that Prince Rosario liked tough girls better than the easy ones. He found it more challenging. It was clear that the Prince enjoyed challenges. "Skyla, keep up the "hard to get" act. It seems his royal highness likes it." Luna informed her sister, who nodded in agreement.
Luna then asked Skyla what she liked about him. Which unexpectedly, unfused an unknown tap that Skyla had kept on tight control. Skyla started gushing about Prince Rosario's very tight, toned muscles which was very obvious, because you could see his muscles protruding from his long shirts. She even liked the way he walked, as graceful as a cat, and how she appreciated a man with good looks and a brain to boot. Skyla always liked a guy with brains, and a wicked tongue at that. Who wouldn't like a man with guts and a brain? I'll tell you.... No one. Every girl likes a guy with intellect and is brave. Who would want a coward of a man? Someone who is afraid even of his own mother? Exactly. My point. Anyway, we all know that men such as those are hard to come by, and Luna knew that. Although her lovestruck sister, Skyla had no clue of it. It was probably better that way. However, Luna noticed, Skyla was very good at making Prince Rosario jealous. He kept wanting more and more of her attention. To which she seldom gave.
Perhaps though, she might like to give the Prince some encouragement. Or else he would quickly lose interest in her. Either way, Skyla knew how to play, really well.
Skyla, after waking from her day dream then rained Luna with questions, asking her if she liked Rafael or Prince Ignazio. Luna though told her that she looked at them as acquaintances, not yet on a personal level. With that kind of answer, the older sister knew she might have to urge the boys to be more obvious. But to be honest, Skyla would probably urge Rafael, since she thought he suited her younger and extremely careful sister. Luna was beautiful. Not just her appearance but also her soul. She was wise, compassionate and many more but her weakness was not being able to trust someone easily. After all that had happened to them, Skyla knew that her sister, Luna had sheltered her from the worst things imaginable. She knew exactly how much Luna loved her. To the extent of sacrificing herself for her. But for the very same reason, she became unapproachable to others. Although nobody could see it, but if you were to try to get closer to her, you could feel her wall come up and you would instantly know that the relationship would not go far like you want it to. That was exactly why, Skyla was convinced that she had to help her sister, even if she did not understand why. Skyla loved her little sister with all her heart, and she knew that her sister was caged. Even Skyla knew that. Luna was caged in her own cage that kept herself locked up. It was as though, there were chains and a lock on her heart to care for anyone else except her sister. Skyla was determined to set her free. Free her of her own inprisonment. But of course, that would have to happen tomorrow. For she knew that the King had something to say, and so did Luna. The twins said good night to each other and fell asleep on their bed.
The next day, about five minutes to 9am...
The twins woke up from the birds near their window, who were chirping their morning songs. Skyla of course, in her element, sang her song to them in return. Today was a big day, the twins could feel it. Something important was going to happen today, and they were involved. The twins hurriedly took their clothes and went to the Royal Baths. Of course, my readers, they are gender seperated. One for males and the other for females. Once they finished grooming themselves up to look presentable, they headed to the Royal Dining Room for breakfast. Luckily enough, they had arrived on time as the Princes and Rafael entered ceremoniously. The boys meaning the two princes grinned at the girls, giving the two a once over. From head to toe. To which Skyla had the grace to blush. Both sisters seated themselves at the table. But the boys weren't done yet. They knew that they would get their chance to continue so as to get another blush or rather a blush in return soon. After breakfast, the Kings and Queens asked for an audience with the boys and the magic users. To which of course they all attended. Once in the Royal Library, they followed the King Ambrosio's suit and discovered a secret path to another room. It looked like a throne room but filled with books and other sorts of things. Like unusual animals and potions and charms and things collected in the years. He then lead them to an unused room and there they found themselves in a room with an oval table with chairs at the perimeter. They seated themselves, and listened to what the King said.
" Leonardo Leocadio, I demand that you let your girls follow the Princes' s and Rafael's quest. So as to assist them in their journey if they were to stumble into any unkown area of which they are not able to help defend themselves. Do you have any objections? Oh and by the way, you will be staying in the castle for as long as they are gone. Until they all return." King Ambrosio boomed with a voice that held authority. "I have none, My Majesty. Except for the boys to take good care of my girls while they travel with them." Leo answered clearly and did not shake at all. " Good. Then i request Skyla and Luna, that you pack for your trip and travel safely with my son, Prince Ignazio and Rafael." The King requested of the two young ladies who were smiling at the King and answered," Rest assured, King Ambrosio. We shall see to it immediately, with your leave." To which he dismissed them all happy that it had ended for truthfully, he did not enjoy asking the girls in that sort of manner. But that does not matter now. The young ones were set to leave by noon and the Kings and Queens would see to it that they saw them off.
To be continued in Chapter Eight... :)
I am so super duper sorry that i havent uploaded sooner :( i went to Jakarta recently and came back sick with food poisoning. To all those out there!!! Be careful what you eat when you go to Indonesia!!! It is definitely not safe. Anyway as i said in Chapter 6 i will be interviewing the Queens in this chapter :)
Luz761: Well hello ladies! How do you think the book is going so far?
Queen Adrastea: Excellent! Absolutely perfect! I love the way Skyla ignores Rosario. I mean who wouldn't? It is absolutely hilarious seeing him get all jealous even of his own adorable little brother who is getting more attention than he is.
Queen Iris: Yes! Yes! I quite agree. It is rather entertaining when you see your son trying to woo a girl who doesn't fall for it. In fact i quite like the fact that Skyla is as such. Its fresh. Rather than the other girls who just melt for him and do his bidding. I do hope i hear wedding bells in the future!
Queen Adrastea: Oh yes! And of course, who else but us to design and decorate the whole wedding! Just imagine it!
Luz761: Woah, slow your horses ladies! I think you looking to far into it... Let the relationship breathe... Lets see how they progress. Anyway how do you feel about Rafael?
Queen Iris: Oh that boy, if only i was thirty years younger...
Queen Adrastea: My feelings exactly. He is such a gentleman. He has perfect manners, and an absolutely sinful body and face and yet a peculiar innocence about him. You have to admit, he is rather charming and mysterious.
Queen Iris: Yes he is and also very interesting. Just think... If he was a Prince. We would definitely want him in our castle to stay. He is great company and easy on the eyes.
Queen Adrastea: Indeed he is. I must say even ladies at our age need something to look at. And may i dare say, Rafael is certified a dreamboat and most certainly eyecandy.
Queen Iris: I dare say I agree with you there!
Luz761: So i take it that you like him a lot then?
Queen Adrastea: A lot is an understatement.
Queen Iris: Yes an understatement of the century! WE
Queen Adrastea: LOVE
Queen Iris: HIM!!!
Luz761: (Chuckles) Alright, alright ladies! i get the message. By the way i was wondering... How long have you known each other?
Queen Iris: Oh for the longest time.
Queen Adrastea: Yes we were raised like sisters. We would visit each other every summer and winter.
Queen Iris: And do every single thing together. Oh Drast do you remember when we scared Luca with our ghost that we made with a white sheet?
Queen Adrastea: Yes! Yes! Do you remember when we teased Ambrosio that he liked you?
Queen Iris: Of course i do!Who would have thought i would marry him? Everybody thought it was never going to happen, seeing we always teased him in the past.
Queen Adrastea: Yes.. Oh the good old days when we were younger and were the ones doing all the teasing and tricks and all sorts of suff.
Luz761: Sorry to cut you both short, My Majesties. But i am afraid we have to end the interview. Perhaps we could talk another time, in the other chapters to come.
Queen Adrastea and Queen Iris: Not at all, besides we have some Queen stuff to do. Goodbye Luz! Rest well and recover soon!
Luz761: Thank you my Queens.
STAY TUNED FOR CHAPTER EIGHT WE WILL BE INTERVIEWING PRINCE AURELIO AND PRINCESS SIERRA!!!
Yours truly,
Luz :)
