Matters on lilies
After the party... Melissa walked straight to her fairy like room...there were beautiful star lights on the walls twinkling...it created the feeling like one was in space...it was cool and welcoming.....in the ceiling held a chandelier...it looked like the lights were spinning... like party light...she had stayed quiet for the remaining session of the party held to welcome her back...she walked straight to the window and looked through it ....all the guests were already leaving... following a path like soldier ants ....most of them were dressed in beautiful shades of the lilies and she was beginning to see them as moving lilies...she turned her gaze back into her room...her princess like bed was beautiful... king size...the bed spread and pillow covers were all white...that it reminded her of her tail... and with the white ball gown she was wearing now...if she lays on the bed...no one would know she was there...she smiled inwardly... feeling a little relieved and free from the hurtful thoughts that had recently bugged her.....
she held her gown up and walked slowly... catwalking like she was heading to the alter to take her wedding vows...the feeling of peace the room gave her reminded her of something strange... something she really couldn't see clearly...but this was a part of her lost memory...she halted
coming to think of it...she realized she couldn't remember anything else except for the lord... Allen! how come everything about him was intact and not a strand of nothing else?...a deep line formed in her head. she turned back taking off her shoes...she kicked them to a corner and the shoes lifted up like a spell was controlling them and they were immediately sucked into the closet...she smiled...but soon the line on her forehead resurfaced and she pulled up her sleeves...took off her white gloves ... she held her gown up and headed for the door...but a knock made her halt
"damsel Melissa...."the soft voice echoed...it reached her ears and she could easily decipher who it belonged to... melody!
"you can come in!"she responded almost immediately and turned her back... dropping her gown that she pulled up...she tried to compose herself...but the door immediately flushed open and the girl already saw it
"my damsel...the lord wishes to dine with you... there's an important matter he wishes to discuss... matters concerning lilies and the three lands."melody explained...with her head slightly bowed... Melissa was going to reject the offer but she had to act as the ruler she is rather than take such fights from a decade ago into present day...she only looked at melody and that was enough to set the girl off...she turned and took off her dress ...changed into something more comfortable... though screaming out prestige... and walked straight to the extra large dinning room
All sorts of delicacies were beautifully and uniquely spread on the table...the long dinning table looked like it was made for twenty...there where nine royal chairs on each side of the table.. and on the head and tail ...one chair each...the food was so delicious and smelt so nice that she wondered why the servants standing around ...a little distance away from the table .....weren't digging in already...she was already salivating but took her time and resolve to behave and walked slowly to the table... melody pulled a seat ...at the other end of the table...the other head and Melissa sank into it...lord Allen was already sitting at the other end.
"so tell me.. Allen!"she started.. looking at him straight in the eye.....her glares were sharp.....full off curiosity but what was more evident was the anger she gave out through those looks...looks that said 'please don't waste my time...spill whatever you have to say' .. Allen's looks where rather soft and graceful. ...he stared across the table at her...a smirk crawled on the side of his lips ...not tearing his gaze from her...he took up his cutlery and began to eat.... melody walked closer and asked Melissa what she wanted. ... Melissa told her and in no time she too began to eat .The duo ate quietly staring at each other ones In a while..... Melissa was a little angered with her looks but the food made her cover it up....the taste ...the peace and satisfaction it gave her. ...being angry while eating such good food would definitely be unfair to the food.
After they were done eating...lord Allen straighten up and the table was cleared in no time...he looked up and cleared his throat... Melissa only looked up at him and frowned... finally...the conversation she'd long being waiting for
"so what is it?..."Melissa spoke first... Allen only smiled at her
"curious little fish... wouldn't you let your food properly digest?" he responded...the frown on Melissa's face intensified...what made him think he could call her that? what made him think they were just shit chatting? who told him they were on good terms? hum!! he'd definitely get it back with no mercy or tamed tone applied...but before she could respond he spoke again...
"I know who bares your ring?" he was saying...his expression was no longer playful but serious...he looked at her intensely to see her response...but Melissa only froze... finally! she could get her ring...but how was she going to come down from her hill of pride to ask this lord for help...? would he agree? why was he even telling her now? what does he want? does he sudden care? and does he want to win her friendship back? ...her gaze slowly dropped as the puzzling questions overwhelmed her...this was supposed to be a news bringing joy to her but why?... why does it feel like she hated this news ? why does it feel like she never wanted such a day to come? how should she respond to this?
