Secret Meeting In The Backyard

The letter from their own master made all the elders approve the visit of Emmy to the Acasta Palace. The other elders got ready to visit the goddaughter of their master at that moment itself to which elder Begontrix opposed.

" She had a very long journey, let her rest for today and I have made arrangements for them to stay in the Rose Plum courtyard for the next few days. Be patient elders, she is not any simpleton."

Elder Begontrix left the Peach Gardens with a knowing smile on his face. On his way, the Senechal who he had assigned to take care of the special guests was standing awaiting him.

" Lord, the guests requested 3 rooms, and two of them got settled in each room but….!!!"

" But what? who is sharing the room with the precious one ?"

" Lord, it is…. it is the crown prince. The third prince and another girl as well as the prince's friend and the last girl are in two other rooms. From the looks of it, they all are couples. "

" Alright, I will look at it. Please let them know that they will be having their supper with all the elders."

Although Elder Begontrix had waved this matter off, deep inside his mind, doubts started to arise. How has the crown prince changed in such a short amount of time? Three years before he created havoc in the royal family and even the king had to take strict actions against his own son. Now that fellow became so docile. The elder thought of clearing all his doubts tonight itself.

At the Rose Plum courtyard, Alex after getting freshened up now was nervously looking at the single large cot inside their room, even if he had shared a room with Emmy multiple times but this kind of situation never came before. In the big room, the scent of sandalwood joss sticks aromatized the whole room. As Alex was plucking his hairs thinking what to do, Emmy entered the room after freshening up. Her skin was flushed white due to the warm bath and lips were looking supple red just like a plum.

Alex got himself blown away looking at this attractiveness and a certain part of his body started to get excited unexpectedly. He swallowed his saliva and wanted to hit his own head for getting out of control. Emmy, who hasn't yet noticed Alex's abnormal actions was combing her damped hair.

" It feels really hot here, I will go and take a stroll in the backyard garden. " saying his piece, Alex rushed outside the room. He looked at a certain part of his body and sighed.

" This is the last time Alex, take a hold on yourself. Have you stepped down to such a level of an animal?" his breathing was really high and he felt as if he was panting out. Alex closed his eyes to think about his lover to calm down his mind but even his brain was playing with him. Just as he closed his eyes, the images he could imagine were of Emmy… only Emmy.

" Ahhhhhhhh, god! what is happening with me?"

" Have you gone insane Alex???? why are you shouting, standing in the middle of the shrubberies."

Alex turned back to see Emmy standing there with a puzzled expression, the emotions which he was trying to control, popped out again. He smiled like a lunatic, scratching his head and in the next second, held on to his robe tightly.

" Alex, why are you acting weird? Come back to the room, it is getting cold outside."

Emmy pushed Alex to their room and closed the door. Alex started to sweat profusely by now, he would kill himself if he lost his control over his beastly needs and force Emmy. Alex couldn't meet Emmy's eyes straightly and he shifted his line of sight, finally, Emmy understood his problem as he was staring at the bed and clutching on his clothes tightly.

As a man, Alex was fighting a war with his inner demons and Emmy, at last, laughed out loud. She couldn't control her laughter after seeing Alex nervously grabbing his clothes as if she was going to pounce on him and have her way with him.

A part of her mind wanted to try such an instance, but she pushed away that thought completely and in order to make Alex relax, she came up with a plan to wander around the Palace till supper time.

After walking for a while, Alex won the fight over his desires and he happily showed Emmy his favorite places. They went across the river, near the mountain valley, and thought of resting a bit near the riverbed. The cool breeze made Emmy shiver but still, she was the beauty of this place. Alex went in search of his favorite plums found in these parts of the mountains and Emmy was asked to rest till he comes back.

Sitting for quite some time, Emmy thought of walking a bit into the orchard of trees behind her. As she walked, she found this place a little familiar, and then she fastened her steps unknowingly changing directions swiftly as if these routes were common for her. Finally, she stopped near a huge tree, a sudden pain shot up in her mind and everything became clear.

It was the same place she had seen in her memories, where Alex and his lover met. She was discovered by Alex at a point in time and he even asked her not to misunderstand him. This was the same place but now the wild bushes had grown making it not welcoming as in her memory.

Emmy's brain was running a marathon, so those memories were true, but how come she knew Alex beforehand, and if that was the case, then Alex would be able to recognize her. Only her memories were lost right! Hacking her brain for long, Emmy concluded the memories as a possibility of the future. In the future, after finding his love, Alex would not be spending time with her, so, such a scene can be possible.

That thought itself was like putting a heavy stone on Emmy's heart, somewhere she wanted to find his lover and sometimes, she wanted to live with Alex for the rest of the time. She then started to explore the secret meeting place of the lovers in the backyard of the Acasta Palace.

" Hey, pretty lass. I never thought of seeing you alone here. Sure, luck is always on my side... ha..ha...ha"
