Bad news

In the chambers...

Lunar was already back in her chamber, she stayed at the sofa for sometime killing time with reading. with each time passed, she kept on glancing at the large double doors, and still, no silver head emerge from them.

she ate her food brought by Leen and Raya, and still he wasn't here. she already had her dinner, changed her outfit to a nightgown and still, no one came.

Now she was getting worried. she went to the doors with her night gown and opened them, only to find Dean already at his favorite post.

"Is he still not back yet?"

she asked the first thing that came. in. her mind the moment she saw Dean.

Dean turned to her.

"Am afraid not my lady"

She sigh at the news she heard, Dean could see how disappointed she was in this, if only she knew what was going on outside of these very chambers.

she turned back and shut the doors. She leaned back the doors, her head raised as she looked at the ceiling before she asked herself.....

"Where are you Reine?"

...

It was already past mid night when Lunar woke up from her slumber.earlier back, she decided to wait for Reine on the coach before she slept there. and now it was already past midnight, she looked around, and he was no where to be seen. she sigh, now getting really worried.

she stood and went to the door..

"Dean..."

"Mi lady, please go back and rest"

"He's not back"

"His highness is caught up in a meeting with his magesty, once he's done, he'll be back here... so please my lady, go and rest."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes mi lady"

Dean looked at her outfit and looked away... before he added "And beside, if his highness sees you in an attire like this one talking to me, my head will be hanging at the courtyard early in the morning as my eyes are poked out"

and that's when Lunar woke up, she was in her nightgown, with out the robe. she quickly turned and went back in.

she calmed her heart first and then her mind. and the first thing that popped in her head was the fact that Reine was back. she smiled at herself, knowing that she'll see him soon. she went to the dressing table and did her messy hair, she still couldn't quite believe that she went to Dean looking like this, she shook her head, to hell with shame, and focused on herself.

she combed her dark wavy hair and put light fragrance on herself and smiled. she went to the bed and waited for him.

...

Dean outside, was losing his sanity now, he couldn't so this anymore, this lady, was making him think of things which would cause him his very own life one day, but thank God, she was the prince's woman, so he was safe... but apart from all of that, he heard what happened to his highness, God knows what will happen to Lunar if she hears anything about this, he feared how she might feel with this situation.. he only hoped for the best and that his highness might be released soon.

...

it has been way too long since lunar waited for him, and now she was past asleep. she fell asleep waiting for him, again. and when she woke up the next day, she found her chamber, empty, again. she stood once more and went to the door, but before she could open them. Raya and Leen emerge and asked her.. "Mi lady, where..."

"his highness..."

Raya and Leen got shocked for moment when they heard their lady calling out to his highness... "Please tell me he's not gone again"

the two looked at each other before looking at her. "or wait..... did he even come back last night."

"He did mi lady"

"He came?"

the two nodded, lunar got shocked as she went backwards towards to the end til she sat... "And still I didn't see him... he must have saw me a sleep and didn't want to wake me up, yes, that must be it..... and this morning, he also left without seeing me, without me seeing him"

Leen and Raya looked at each other, from how the lady was reacting, they had a guess that she must have not found out what was happening to his highness, that he's been locked up since last night.

Raya and Leen went to her and called out.. softly

"Mi lady?"

Lunar smiled as she cleared her face and told them..

"Oh don't worry, am fine, am sure once he come back later, I'll be even more fine, I guess that Dean guy was right... I do miss him.. a lot since yesterday"

Lunar got up, she sigh and told them with her bright blue dark eyes.." Well, I'll go and take a bath then... "

she smiled and by pass them.

The two looked at her as she walked to the bathroom.

As soon as she entered the bathroom, Leen told. Raya...

" I think the lady doesn't know about his highness's situation"

" Me too Leen"

" Should we tell her? because she might say that she's okay but we both know she's not"

" She even said she'll see him today when she comes back, when we nor he is even sure if he'll back today"

" So what should we do? Should we tell her? "

" Well.. we can't keep her in the dark forever, let's just tell her, but right after she take her breakfast. "

" Okay"

the two looked at the closed doors as they couldn't see nor hear the silent cries that's going on in the bathroom.

...

when she came out, the two helped her out with her outfit and served her breakfast, she ate quietly as the two looked at each other trying to find the right words to say to her before she could collapse in tears.

when she was done, and everything was put away, the two followed her to the couch where she sat and bow to he a little.

"What is it?"

she asked them, without looking them in the eyes, as she was lost in her own thoughts..

"Mi lady, we have something to tell you"

"What is it?"

the two looked at each other, before they turned to her and finally telling her the truth about Reine's where abouts..
