"Well, I was planning on showering him with flowers." That did it, the sisters burst out laughing at Shimpi's plan. She always had the wildest ideas.
Now if her bold sisters were feeling that way, what would a timid Shinja do? She did not know how all of it had happened. Her heart was drawn to the prince the moment his gray eyes pierced her brown ones.
Blue transparent butterflies were flying everywhere. The scent of the roses hit her nose. A tiny colorless drop hit her nose waking her out of her reverie. Where was the prince? She would drop the fruit basket then get back to the book she had been reading before dosing off while in her room. She had been going over the words she was to say on meeting the prince.'Your majesty, here is the fruit basket that you sent for.' After that she would turn and leave. Simple, easy, nothing to worry about. However, the prince
"What I am about to tell you may seem a little bit crazy," he picked her up and they both stood facing each other. "You have to promise me that you will not to be afraid. Do you promise to stay firm as I say what I have to say next?"She watched him as though he had lost his mind. She was not going to let him off easy for hiding and making her worry.
Come in already! She urged the figure with her mind but that was a hopeless endeavor.As if he heard her, her father came in suddenly and shut the door behind him. When she saw that it was Pink-White, her father at the door, her heart fell back in its right place. It had been strung up her throat this entire time. She let out a breath that she had not realized she had been holding back. Thank heavens!
On opening the door, Silver had walked to the end of the room hiding behind the makeshift dressing room where Shinja could not go uninvited. When she called out to him so he could come and eat, he pretended not to hear a thing she was saying."Don't you like the food I brought you? But you have not checked what it is at all. Or are you not hungry?" she cried out pensively.
A green glassy layer covered the Green Lake. When any of the Greens passed via or through it, the water turned colorless. It became as clear as crystals and only granted access to the royals of Green kingdom and to rest only if a member of the Green royal family was with them.She reached where the lake was and bent over it to take a sip of its water. Each second she spent by the lake brought deeper nightfall closer. It was a long journey even on horseback. She was exhausted and fear started creeping in.
Pink-White had not mentioned whether the visiting families were to engage in the search for the princess so Silver came forward to confront him about it. He was not going to sit back and watch other men fight for the woman he loved while he stayed back enjoying guest privileges at the palace. He was determined to come with the search team."Please king tell me where I and my horsemen are going to pass. Thank you."
Pink-White rode ahead of the crew so that he could make the water in the Green Lake disappear before others got closer and discovered it. He did not want anybody to see the camouflage of the waters that happened when a royal Green family member passed over it. When the rest reached where the Green Lake should have been, they continued riding their horses for in the lake's place dry ground had surfaced. As soon as they had passed by it, the lake re-appeared.On their way into the forest on one of the rugged pa
The king used the junction that linked to the Middle Forest. Even when he had done that, he did not leave before having his mother's Secret Garden. He sent his men to search it dry and they came back with nothing helpful. The place was deserted as though no one had ever occupied it before. Terese had disappeared immediately after Shinja left.The princes, Brown and Silver, watched the king instruct his men to search the flower garden because that is how it appeared to them. Terese had put a charm over it that no one expe
Shimi struggled enough to hit her captor in the groin with bare foot. Pain shot through his entire body, he dropped her on the ground and scrunched up on the floor right next to her. She started running but was stopped midway.A strong hand caught both her feet, the action sent her hitting the floor both hands flailing helplessly in the air looking for what to hold onto. Her captor had regained composure faster than she had presumed. His grip became rougher to halt her struggling attempts to escape bruising the ten
Yellow was playing the harmonica for Shimpi. Violet and Shinka were messing around in the stables. That is why the gong sounding agitated the living color out of each one of them.Word went out that they were to converge in Evalene's room (the girl's late mother).In there, displayed were colorful gowns that Evalene had made for her daughters in case their weddings ever came.
It had given him a hard time to prepare but he brushed it off as though it had been the easiest thing he had ever done.To answer her, he hummed a familiar tune. He put her down and picked up. They danced to the tune. "I am happy that soon after this we get to be together forever. Husband and wife for the rest of our lives."He let her off his back and touched the tip of her nose. There and then Silver got on bended knee, pulled out from his left pocket a blood
Silver was checking out the boots that lay discarded in the left corner opposite the bed. Shinja shifted her attention to him with a smile across her face."Umm... Shinja, you promised to tell me what the rose touching meant." He said while balancing himself on one leg trying on one boot on his left foot."Oh, I almost forgot. The flowers are something grandma taught father who passed it on to me before we came out here. It's like a little quiz used to prove the type of lo
"If you mean it then look into my eyes and say it." With tears welling up in her eyes, Silver felt sympathy and too much love for the her at the same time. Wordless, he drew closer to himself and kissed her. Her insides turned to liquid. Actions speak louder than words, Silver had expressed this more than anyone had patience for."Thank you," she sighed and hugged him.She leaned her head on his and they all went silent for a while.
"Yeah, yeah, its all good. He knows we are going on a date. I asked that for no reason." She lightened up immediately. "Let's go to that date now."She looked up at him blinking her eyes adoringly. He held out his hand for hers to loop into. She did."Shall we?""Of course!" She picked up her sha
"You know what Silver. I can't believe you are here with me. Together like this. The fight had got me so worried so I could not come to you for days. I feared that you must be angry at me. I came here today expecting you to be mad at me.I did not have it in mind that you would be waiting for me that never occurred to me. It is as if you knew I was coming. You even prepared this rose as a surprise for me," she turned from her reflection to face him.
Shimi slept in Brown's room that night. The following day both of them were not guilt-faced when Shimi was seen walking out of Brown's room, she smiled to herself as she closed his door behind her and continued on her way.Brown discovered he could not wipe off the satisfied grin on his face. Shimi made him happy. She was beautiful, witty and brutally honest.Her honesty was so plain, the way she said it could not keep him from laughing. The night they had together played on in his mind the entire day.
The princes' ego was a little hurt because it did not matter how long they fought. They had been willing to fight for as long as it took to prove to each other who was better.Shinja's sisters had nursed a crush for Silver since childhood but they did not want to show her. She knew this and thought it was still so. She felt the need to apologize to them for the trouble caused so she did.
