CHAPTER 17

Quinn slurpssss....

Darcy: Hmm.. I knew that. How will you handle the kingdom if you can't remember simple plans?

Quinn: Simple? Dance is not my cup of tea. It's difficult than learning Kaipoche

Darcy: Ouff..

Quinn: What happened?

Darcy: Just thinking...about the consequences after our marriage

Alina: Don't worry, Darcy. I promise that my son will take utmost care of you

Quinn: Thank you mom

Alina: If you think he is bad, his father was worse than him

Quelin(keeping down his forks): Please don't make me remember those days

Quinn: Mom, why don't you tell us about that?

Alina: Your dad would be very upset and annoyed if I do so

Darcy: But the dance?

Alina: Don't worry my daughter, he will learn it soon

Quelin: Soon? My son? Never

Quelin: Dad!!

Darcy laughs as she completes her fish

Mak, Empephus's best friend walks into his lab with a plate full of chips and fries. Seeing Empephus, he drops the plate.

Empephus(stunned): What was that?

Mak: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you at all but it wasn't my mistake

Empephus: What?

Mak: You are eating

Empephus(about to eat his sausages): Of course I do. What happened?

Mak: I meant 'only eating'

Empephus: There's nothing to be shocked of. You don't have to overreact and overact

Mak(putting his chips in his plate): Yesss

Empephus: Hey yuck. I'm not bringing you with me

Mak: Bringing where?

Empephus: To the prince's birthday...

Mak: No it can't be

Empephus: Yes, he invited me

Mak: No..oh ho ho. Finally you are going to come out this lab because this lab stinks like you

Empephus: Ohk better you finish off this food and throw it.

Mak: What are you going to do?

Empephus: Get myself a good suit

Darcy's parent, Lyra and Kaiphos come to their dining hall.

Lyra: Sorry sorryyy..we are late. We just finished all the arrangements.

Kaiphos: Just had to check the final list...

Alina: I'm still angry on both of you

Kaiphos, pulling her the chair to take seat and kisses her. He then pulls his chair and sits. Alina looks at them

Kaiphos: No we love to do that

Alina: You both could have spent time with us and handed the job to someone else.

Lyra: Well it could be but we had fun, meeting new people and managing all the

ornamentation, tinsels and the decor

Alina: I believe you have avoided gewgaws

Kaiphos: Lets stop talking.12 is going to strike very soon

Lyra: We better not be late

Alina(baulky): Hmm

Quinn: Late for what?

Quelin: To sleep, my son. You should have a good sleep so that we are enjoy nicely tomorrow

After he had finished eating and brushing, we went to his room and slept. The room had beautiful painting, trophies and animal skulls. His childhood photos and achievements were kept beautifully in the showcase.

At 11:58, his door opened up slightly and few people sneaked in and woke him up.

EVERYBODY: Happy Birthday!!

Quinn: So this what you both were talking about..

Lyra: We thought of giving you a small surprise

Quelin: Happy birthday, my son. Wish you a successful life ahead

Alina: I hope you never forget that with me, you have everything you could ever hope for my son, as your mother I love you always.

Quinn(hugging her): Thank you mom

Alina: Come and cut your cake

A servant brings in a cheesecake and candles right on the top it.

Quelin: As like how you love it

Alina: Strawberries,chocolate sauce, nuts, cherries and lots of cream

Darcy: It really looks good and delicious

Quinn: Doesn't matter even if it's a plain cake, it's all your love and genuinely, it's heart-touching

Everybody sings or him as he cuts the cake and then gives it to everyone.

Quinn says Darcy to open her mouth and she has her bite.

Darcy(tries to hug him): Happy birthday

Quinn: Ahheha..not a hug...

He kisses her

Lyra: Dear, where's the camera?

Kaiphos: Oh wait a minute....I had it..

They stop kissing and he then hugs her

Kaiphos: I wish the kiss could last a bit more longer...

Quinn: You can get it tomorrow. Maybe longer....

Quelin: That's my boy

Darcy blushes

After having the fun together and enjoying, they went to their respective rooms while the prince was having a walk in the hallway.

Empephus: Yes I got it...here it was

Mak(yawning and rubbing his eyes): Don't tell me that it's one of your lab coats

Empephus takes a water bottle and pours water on his face.

Mak: Agh bruu...uuhh..why did you do that?

Empephus: What do you see now?

Mak: Man....its really awesome

Empephus: Well now you can sleep. Good night

Mak: You ruined my sleep. What are you going to do now?

Empephus: I thought of going to the garden

Mak: At night?

Empephus: I need fresh air for good sleep

Mak: As you wish....I'm leaving

At Darcy's room

Maid: Princess, your wine..

Darcy: Keep it on the table and call her

Maid: Ok ma'am
