Chapter 51
POSSIBILITY
Since the day King Fire asked me on a date, I have not seen him. Seryo said he was so busy about something so I respected it. He was a king after all. Hali brought me the dress to use for the preparation of the night, it was simple white that only reached my knee. It was the V neckline that showed my upper portion of cleavage.
“Your majesty, I think-” I looked away from Hali’s face.
“You don’t want the dress, do you?” Hali crossed his arms below the chest. “It’s sexy and attractive. Pyro will like that.”
“Ahm.” I scratched my nose and stared at the fitted dress.
Even if I do not like the dress, I have no choice. It is King Water who is giving me this and I think it is the most expensive. I am sure that whoever makes this, it is composed of difficulties and aching hands.
“I’ll use this. Thank you.” I gave him a smile before I went out of his room.
Tonight would be the night and I could not understand why I felt nervous. Cass said that she would help me to fix my hair and make up and everything that I need.
I can’t believe that I am having a date with King Fire! Crap! Should I brush my teeth plenty of times? For sure he will ask me to dance with him and come closer and then-crap!
What was I thinking?
I did not tell it to my sister Eira because she was frustrated when I saw her in the morning. I thought she had a problem with the task that was given to her by the royals. I was asking, but she did not spill the tea. So I let her think peacefully.
When the evening came, Cass dragged me to her room. “I have make ups here! When I went to the city, I used to buy these things! I love it… it makes me so beautiful.” She was so happy getting the brush and moving it left and right to her palm.
“Just a light makeup. I don’t want to look like a clown.”
“Oh, Girl! Trust me! I learned how to use these because I was watching in the parlor in the city.” She grabbed a foundation and put it on my face.
“Do you go there often?”
“Yes. When I have time. I’m lucky, I’ve never been caught.” She laughed while imagining things in her mind. “Sometimes I am with King Wind.”
“Seriously? Are you two-”
“We had s*x.”
“Crap! Your mouth!” I covered my lips as I blushed. She was so vulgar like King Wind and King Water.
“Fira, you’re old enough. You should sometimes try that thing. But you know even if me and King Wind are s*xmates, he didn’t love me.”
“Why?” I stared at her with the spark of confusion in my eyes. “You love him?”
“Yes. I think so. But he likes someone down the city.”
“What? Crap! You mean a human being? As in full human?” My eyes were widening as the curiosity filled me. If I wanted to know something I would not hesitate to ask it. My mouth would just itch if I did not burst it out.
“Yes. Maybe. He often goes into the city, escaping from the kingdom because he is seeing somebody. I forgot the name, but he said that she’s a college student.” She held a maskara, circled it to my eyelashes and pinched it with the curler.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Ouch!” I blinked three times as the tears condensed to my eyes. The eyelashes stung my eyes. Crap.
“Oh, sorry, Girl.”
“If the girl is human and a college student, what did Zephyrus do?”
“Just roaming around her, following her. Even if he doesn’t spell out to me, his actions tell what he feels. Actually, King Wind didn’t tell me his royal name.”
I looked up at her face. I saw the spark of sadness. There was something in her face that was hidden emotion for the King Wind.
“You mean?”
“His name is Zephyrus. All I know is King Wind at first, if this was not because of you I won’t know. We had s*x. I was telling you that when he summoned me, we would do that. I am bringing all, Fira…”
I saw the drop of the liquid in her eyes. She sniffed three times. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to ruin your night, Fira. But I just-don’t know what to do.” She held a pink lipstick, traced my lips with it and wiped the mess on my lower lips.
“But even if I bring all that I can… I have. He will not like me. I’m just a f*cking s*x slaves. Lately, he was refusing my seduction. I know that because of that woman! I hate her so much!”
“Hey, hey!” I held her hands and pinched it. I blew a loud sigh and cupped her cheek. “You’re beautiful. If Zephyrus doesn’t like you. I am pretty sure that there is a guy who is destined to be with you.”
“I like King Wind, Fira. I never believed that I would like someone in the future, the way I like him.”
“Like.” I emphasized that word and stroked her hair. “You said like, not love. It’s different.”
“How can you say that when you have no experience with love?” She rolled her eyes, continued putting makeup on my face while chatting.
“I don’t know…” I bit the inside of my mouth and then bit my lips. “I think I like or maybe love someone.”
“Oh, Girl! Spill the tea! Is it King Fire? That’s why you are having a date with him?” She was almost jumping in so much happiness. Her voice was as loud as the microphone.
I looked down and then gazed up at her face. She was so happy to cut the feeling.
“No.” I shook my head, intertwined my hand and bit again the inside portion of my mouth.
“No? Then who?”
“I think it’s Janus.”
Her eyes widened in shock. The mouth was forming a letter O. “The miner?”
“Yup.”
“Good for you. You can have a happy ending if he likes you back. Omega and Miner can marry each other. That’s better than liking one of the kings, they are royals. They will be forever dreams.”
“Yes. And I can’t see myself liking one of them although Pyro is my friend. Yeah, I like him as a good companion.”
Cass did the final touch. When her mouth opened to say a word. I was startled with the question. “What if you love him someday? Would you fight for your love if he loves you, too?”
Honestly, in my mind I never saw myself loving him, but the possibility is always a possibility. It can happen.
So I answered. “Yes.” The bravery was written on my face. “I was born in a world seeing how my parents love each other and fight for their relationship every single day.”
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw the beauty in it. “I want to marry a man I love even if it means fighting to survive.”
My eyebrows went up as I gazed at Cass. “But that’s just a possibility, it won’t happen anyway.”
