BEGONIA FLOWERS

The queen couldn't help the big smile that crept on her face when she saw how happy Isabel was.

Immediately after they were done with their breakfast, she had asked Isabel to accompany her to the garden, to see the flowers she had planted, and also in order to excuse the men who seem to have a lot to talk about.

Isabel crouched down to touch the flowers, They were Begonia flowers, her favorite flowers, she had loved it ever since she was little. Her heart warmed seeing how bright and healthy they were.

"Do you like the flowers". The queen asked her.

Hearing the queens question, she looked up at the queen with a beaming smile and nodded her head happily. "It's my favorite flower, i love it".

"I know" The queen said with a satisfied smile.

Isabel looked at the queen with a questioning eyes.

"How did you know". she asked.

The queens lips formed a thin line, she started thinking of an excuse, before she could say anything,

isabel asked again. "Did my father tell you that".

Although it wasn't the truth, the queen nodded her head in confirmation. She could see the curiosity in her eyes.

"How did you know my father" Isabel cocked her head to the side, waiting for an explanation.

The queen felt cornered by her question, she had no idea how to answer her, it would only bring forth more questions, which she didn't think she was in the position to answer. She looked left and right trying to look for something to divert her attention, and like a savior, She saw her son who was walking towards them.

"Oh, Derrek" She called out her Son's name.

Isabel's ears perked up when she heard the prince name, she quickly got up from her crouching position, her heart palpitating.

She hated the way her body was responding, She felt happy to see him?. 'No, that can't be right' she thought, how could she be reacting like this to someone she knows literally nothing about. She clutched her dress and almost held her breath when he was just about five steps away from her.

His beauty still felt unreal to her.

"Son, you are here". The queen embraced her son.

Isabel could feel the motherly love, she was quite jealous at how The queen had embraced her son. She had no idea of who her Parents were, talk less of receiving a motherly hug or love. 'such a bummer'. she bit her lips.

She momentarily got surprised when the queen turned and hugged her too.

" I have to take my leave now, I came her purposely to see you, I couldn't wait till the time my Son brings you over, am so happy to see you, dear" The queen said with a big smile. She was truly happy to See her.

It would be a lie if she said she wasn't moved by the queens words, With a shy smile she could only bow her head and say thank you.

The queen then bid her farewell and left.

The one's left were only her and the prince, but he wasn't saying anything, he just kept staring at her.

It took all his will to stop himself from grabbing his wife then and there and doing what was on his mind, Seeing her in between rows of beautiful flowers was a sight to behold. he couldn't take his eyes off her beautiful face, he missed her dearly. He could only remind himself that the current Isabel in front of him knows nothing about him, or about them.

He could only take a deep breath and calm himself.

'Are we just going to stand here, and keep doing staring contest' Isabel thought inwardly, Cause the prince didn't seem to want to talk anytime soon.

Not knowing what to do, she just decided to say something, At least to make him stop staring at her like that, it was affecting her greatly.

"Your highness" she curtsied a bit.

Derrek frowned, Not liking the way she addressed him.

Isabel straightened her back when she saw the frown on his face, 'Did she say something wrong'.

"You know my name right?" The prince asked her.

She nodded her head to his question.

"You are my wife, you can call my name without the honorifics, Do you understand?".

Good lord, this will be the death of her. The prince deep voice was causing turmoil in her body and mind, it was just getting deeper every passing seconds, can it get anymore deeper than this?.

She gulped and nodded her head in understanding.

"Walk with me". The Prince stretched his hand for her to take. She looked at the hand and back at the Prince face, she wanted to take his hand, but stopped herself.

She realized that she was getting too touchy with the Prince, She bit her lips and shook her head.

Seeing her reluctance, he retracted his hand and gestured for her to follow him.
