1374 Words
After confirming his feelings for Shenaira.
He tried to explain what he really meant about the word "ugly".
But he does not know how to express and say it right.
He was scared that she might misunderstand it more.
So he defensively told her that it was not like that.
He wanted to tell her that she was not pretty but the most lovely.
So when he was about to continue what he was about to tell her.
He was cut by the angry Shenaira and said that it was just the same as ugly.
He felt that she was really angry this time.
He could see her face turning red.
She closed her eyes like she was controlling her emotions.
Finally, a smile appeared on her face.
He thought that she had already calmed down.
When she opened her mouth to speak.
She changed her tone.
Her voice became formal and serious.
Her jolly face and dimples were now gone.
She turned her head to face him.
She looked at him with a poker face.
All of a sudden she excused herself and headed to the other side of the garden.
He was frozen but still tried to defend himself to her.
"It is not like that Shenaira, you are not pretty because you are the prettiest" he whispered.
Only his father, brother and fairy king heard the last words he uttered.
He was still looking at the trail in the grass where Shenaira walked on.
He was still thinking about her beautiful face, her green twinkling eyes, her black hair and scent.
She smells so good.
Her fragrance was like a mixture of mint and citrus.
He loves her scent.
He wants to know all about her.
He wants to be with her.
He wants to get close to Shenaira.
he likes her.
His Shenaira.
His Shena.
Clerivan decided to be with Shenaira.
He began to think about their future.
He knew that if he told his father that he likes Shena more than a friend.
He will object and might even separate him from her.
Since their races are not allowed to be a couple.
If they go against it.
They will be stripped off their rights as their kingdoms citizens and will be chased out in their kingdom, leaving them without anything in their pocket to survive.
Only Derante would accept a couple like them.
Clerivan was aware of the prophecy and does not even care about it as long as Shena accepts him.
He started to make detailed plans for him and Shena.
He needed to make Shena fall for him.
When the right time comes.
He will ask her to go to Derante and live there.
He will be staying in the Beltranville for a couple of years.
He planned to be her friend for the meantime and when they reached the age of maturity.
He would confess to her.
King Cleron saw Clerivan thinking deeply about something.
While observing him.
He saw a mischievous smile on his lips.
H must be thinking about something to the Fairy Princess.
He already knew that Clerivan likes the Fairy Princess when he saw his red ears and nape when he came into his sons' room just an hour ago.
He saw Princess Shenaira in the garden through the window of his sons' room.
He thought that it was time to change the law and legalize the union of the wizards and fairies.
First of all, he needed to confirm the prophecy if it is real or not.
Hiis instincts told him that there was definitely something off about the priest and prophecy about its timing.
He needed to investigate the prophecy.
He told the Fairy King that it was time to change the law and made eye to eye contact to give him a signal.
They both looked at Clerivan's face.
The Fairy King immediately realized what the Wizard King meant and nods.
King Cleron requested the King Lapiro to allow his sons to stay there for a couple of years while he was in the war against the rebels.
As per his advisors told him that the war will take a little longer than it was predicted.
Since the rebels were expanding their territories.
He was now heading to his carriages to go back to his kingdom.
He gives Clerivan some instructions before he rides the carriage and leaves the Fairydom.
King Lapiro told them to look for Shenaira in the garden.
The maids told them that she was in the West Garden with her new friend.
The maids led them where Shenaira was.
Once again he was mesmerized by her lovely face.
They reached the area where they were.
Shenaira's POV
When Shenaira felt an intense gaze.
She turned her head to look for the owner of that gaze.
She saw the two brothers.
Again, he looked like someone caught him stealing.
He was caught off guard and defensively told her that it was her father who ordered them to play with her.
She examined his face to see if he was telling the truth.
She frowned.
Clerivan's POV
He felt conscious, so he avoided her gaze to hide his red ears and nape he felt hot just by her stare.
He defensively asked why she was staring at him.
Although deep inside him, he likes her giving him attention.
He cannot express it properly.
He saw her close her mouth.
He regretted his rude behavior.
Shenaira's POV
When she reached the West Garden and saw Loella.
She ran towards and hugged her.
She was happy that she managed to get there without any complications.
Loella confronts her with wide eyes and asks her why she did not tell her about herself being the Fairy Princess.
Loella squeezed her cheeks and said she forgive her because they were friends.
She led Loella to the Garden table where their breakfast was waiting.
Except for breakfast, the maids put some deserts like macarons, cakes and chocolates for them to eat.
When she suddenly hears some footsteps and when turns her head she sees Clerivan and his brother Justin walking towards them.
She suppressed her excitement and ignored her loud and fast heartbeat.
ashe reminded herself that just a while ago he called her "ugly".
So she put an invisible barrier around her and frowned at them.
She asked Clerivan what they were doing there.
She saw him froze and hesitated to answer but managed to explain why they were there in the garden.
He defensively told her that her father ordered them to be with her.
He turned his head but somehow she saw his reddened ears and nape but she didn't know why he looked like that.
Does he have a fever?
She was about to ask about his condition when she was interrupted by Loella and asked her if Clerivan and Justin could join them in their breakfast.
She took a peek at the two boys and nods.
She ordered to bring another set of food and two plates.
While waiting for the foods Shenaira introduced Loella to Clerivan and Justin.
She stretched her hand to shake with them.
Clerivan shook her hand but Justin just stared and turned his head and ignored her.
Loella was furious about Justin's attitude towards her.
She saw Justin politely asking Shenaira her hobbies what a double-faced boy!
As she looks at the older brother she saw Clerivan staring at Shenaira.
His eyes lit and twinkling, he looks at her like she is the only one and the prettiest girl in the world.
Heh, she discovered something that Shenaira did not notice.
She got out on her chair and walked in the garden to find something and she finally found it.
She headed back to the garden table but she walked behind Clerivan and put something in his hand.
When Clerivan looked at his hands she saw his face, ears and nape turned red, she chuckled.
She goes back to her chair to sit.
About the thing she put on Clerivan's hand that turned him red.
It was none other than a flower ring!
Thid means she knew his feelings for Shenaira and advises him to give the flower ring to her!
