Deepest Part of You

The Prince's Day

Chapter 13. 

      “Happy Birthday Seth… Are you happy?” The most beautiful voice whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes, not remembering that my bedroom is this bright. Is this because of her glows?

     Violet is in my arm, with her white sensual dress, just lying beside me so close. Her beautiful face is in front of me, and she’s smiling. Is this a dream? I flip my body over- to be on top of her, and just rain her with my lustful kisses, the way I’ve been desiring it for so long. I can feel the bloods inside me boiling, and I’m still craving for more. I just have to make her mine!

    Seth’s wake up in the middle of the night-- aroused by his dream about Violet. He ruffled his hair, annoyed by the fact that his dream felt so real, and the way he wanted to be with her-- is like very addicting-he almost lost his mind. Seth dropped his body back to the bed before decided to take the cold-water bath, neutralised all the sensation from his dream.

     Today is the prince’s birthday and engagement day.  Around the castle, the people of Gryffin kingdom are preparing decorations, tables set, and every thing about the prince’s events.

    All its people are invited to celebrate tonight. For one full day, Gryffin castle is going to looks beautiful and elegant. Magic floating lights for night time, flowers, ribbons, small and big fountains, every thing just looks perfect.

    Violet was tortured all night by her thoughts, her curiosity, but most of all by her emotions regarding Prince Seth. The feelings that she can’t shake off even though how much she tried to deny.

    She realised too, that it’s useless to feed her up with these feelings she felt, for she knows that his feeling toward her is not mutual. Let alone to think about the unanswered mysteries between their kingdoms, and now she can’t talk with Navy anymore. She sighed, still sitting by the window while looking listlessly at the people who’s working on the preparation.

    “Hei Vi..” Elena suddenly showed up.

    “Hi…” she answered weakly.

    “How are you doing?”

    “.. I’m fine… just- - still confused, I guess..” “Thank you for trying to let me escaped, yesterday..” Violet added.

    “I think you help me first, yesterday..So.. thank you too..” Elena said with warm smile.

    “Why are you nice to me..? I meant you still thinks good of me, and do good to me regardless.. the situation.. Unlike- -“

    “Prince Seth?”

    “I was gonna say some other sorcerers.” Said Violet.

    “I’m sure Gryffin Kingdom’s intention is to avoiding any potential wars too..” Elena looked down for a second, “Prince Seth is just doing what he thought best for his kingdom—he always is.. I’m hoping it’ll be the best way for you too Vi..”

    .. I hope so too..said Violet inside.

    “Speaking of Prince Seth, he asked me to transferred you to another room, and make sure you are eating well..”

    “Why..?”

    “I don’t know exactly why, but… the room is bigger, and have better view. So let’s go!” Said Elena with optimism.

    The whole sorcerers in town will come to this party, from that room I can supervise her more, and it’s further from the sorcerers crowd.—That’s the exact words that Seth told Elena.

    Elena as in purposed-- take her to her new room on foot, so Violet can take the chance of looking around of the castle out of her boredom. Elena take her to a different hall with the last time she almost escaped.

    This hall is bigger, its ceiling is so high as if twice their usual height ceiling. Its stage is like an indoor rail-less balcony in between of two large elegant stairs, decorated with lights and flowers. Bellow the stage-balcony—hall’s ground level-- is for the royalty orchestra.

    On both sides of the stage, there’re rooms that circled the entire hall and has the same level heights as the stage. These room’s functioning in particular for waiting, changing, resting before events. Its doors are made from thick glass that looks like a diamond reflection. Inside, the ‘royalty-lounge-room’ is filled with elegant-royalty-furniture. This is the room where Violet will be placed, for she would be easily seen from the room’s windows clear glass.

    Elena and Violet are climbing up the stairs to the lounge, when they got there it turns out that Seth is in the middle of his final measurement royal tux, only him, Phillip, and his tailor. Seth’s royal tux is white with high collar shirt, slim styled vest, all in white with a little bit of gold lists on the tux.

    It was like seeing something that melts Violet’s heart, make her want to deep-sighed, looking at Seth in his tux. As the same look for a kid who’s sees something they really wants—big round eyes and all. But Violet looked away immediately.

    “Oh, sorry,--” Elena said.

    “It’s okay Elena, we’re done here.” Seth cleared his throat, avoiding eye contact—or looking at Violet. 

    It is good though—for Violet, if Seth did look her in the eye, he will know the hurt she’s feeling through her eyes. Violet too, looking sideways-- or anywhere but him, even though the pain inside makes her want to cry for cannot have him. And he’s gonna be someone else’s soon.

    All three of them walks out from the room, passing by Elena and Violet. Phillip stroke Elena’s hand while passing her by, with the warmest smile that shows his love to her.

    As for Seth, he just walk out the door with his clenched jaw and without looking at Violet at all. Not that he doesn’t want to.. After this night, he definitely have to decide what he’s going to do about Violet. Even though he still hasn’t figure out whether to let Violet go, or play it safe for his kingdom.

    After they’re gone, Violet is looking around the room, admiring the room, the whole grand hall—that she can see from the room’s windows, especially the stage.

     Pretty sure not agreed with what Elena’s said about better view, because the last thing she want to see is her Prince Seth being engaged with.. -- Maybe she’ll just look at another windows—as in outside-the-castle’s view windows.

    “I hope you’re not planning on escaping through that window..” Elena said while noticing Violet’s interest at the outside view windows. “Because it’s a long way down…” She said with smile, teasing Violet.

    Violet chuckled a bit, “..Hm--If I have my wings, probably I will.. But I don’t plan to do another foolish things ahead..”

    “What do you mean? What foolish thing have you done before?”

    Like falling in love with the Prince. Violet paused for a while looking for answer. “.. I don’t know.. a lot I guess.. like not knowing about anything, don’t know what to do—despite the situations..”

    Before Elena speak, suddenly Seth came back into the room, and for a moment the room is silent.

    “I forgot my tux.” He said. Accidentally his eyes meet Violet’s.

    Elena and Violet both look at the tux on the couch, they’re both thinking the same thing, does he heard their conversation? They were just speaking theoretically, and that was just a jokes too.

    After grabbing his tux, Seth walk out the door while at the same time putting roots-bars from the tree outside the window with his power, prevented her from her-possible-foolish-plan. Oh yeah he did heard their conversation.

    Violet looked down, suddenly felt caged even though she’s not even chained with the silver chain anymore. Is he hates her that much, blaming her for his father’s missing, and want her to responsible this much too?

    Reading the sadness on her face, Elena solaced her. “You know..? I’m never seen Prince Seth ever be as possessive as he’d been right now with you Vi.. “

    “He’s just don’t want me to escape.”

    Elena replied with her i-know-better-smile and an up down shoulders. If only Violet knows him the way she knew his brother in law……
