Her Voice

chapter 4

Dainaih was so happy , i mean who would'nt be ????she was going to see the love of her life  .... i was so happy for her because i know she deserves the world and so does Prince Carl ,the poor boy lost his parents at a very young age ..... we went downstairs to meet the guests but on our way downstairs i felt eyes on me i know that we have alarge audience downstairs but there was something different today... i mean my heart was drumming like crazy and my legs were shaking and i was nervous and mind you i am not the nervous type, i was taught how to behave in public but something tells me that i am going to screw up today...

we finally made it downstairs and thank God i didnt fall , uncle came our way and ... took Danaih's hand and went to where Carl was... i was still observing the room and decorations when Mike came to my side and whispered" you look amazing today, you are even glowing princess.... does this have anything to do with the forbidden lake????" he said that while raising his perfect eyesbrows and i could'nt stop the chuckle that came out ..... and with that he took my hand and we went to the dance floor  , when i am with mike i never get bored and he understands me more than anyone ...

after 2 hours of dancing and listening to  Mike's silly stories we went to uncle and Daniah , "hy dad wont you introduce us to our future in laws???'' Mike said in a playful tone and i was still not over his last joke so i couldnt stop myself from smilling.. '' KING KAIDEN meet my son Mike and my beautiful nephew Athena"' my uncle said and even thou i was facing down i can still hear the smile in his face when he said those words ... i looked up to greet King Kaiden when i saw the most beautiful man and truth be told i was speechless , he looked kind but  cold , strong but soft , rough but gentle and i still cant believe it ... i have heard rumours that he is hanhdsome but i had no idea that he was a greek God ''no no Athena hold yourself together" ... i looked up and shook his hand thats when i felt sparks all over my body and i felt a shiver run down my spine... after the handshake i looked down because if i look at those beautiful eyes again i will lose myself .... 

Dinner was torture  , i couldnt stop thinking about the man sitting next to me ...... sometimes my thighs will touch his accidentally of course , i mean you all know me i could never do such a thing.... ''so athena what did you think about Pricess Rose's silly attempts to WOW Prince Margo???'' Mike said without thinking and for that i elbowed him .. ''ouch Athena but we all saw it i just have the guts to voice it and we all know that Margo has a thing for you... i mean the guy is obsessed with you...do you remeber when he tried woowing you with a snake but you are terrified of snakes????'' with that everyone besides Kaiden burst out laughing '' how can i forget she slept in my room for weeks '' said Dainah ... ''the only thing i remember is that long letter you sent him telling him to leave you alone'' my uncle said in a mocking tone.... yes it is true that i wrote a letter to him telling him to leave me alone in 7 languages..

after dinner Kaiden asked my uncle if they could talk in private .... "of course we can talk in private , Athena , Mike lead King Kaiden to my office i will be right behind you'' and with that we led the way .. after 2 minutes my uncle joined . ''I SAID CAN WE SPEAK ALONE PLEASE'' said Kaiden in more like a  command way... '' its okay King Kaiden as you know Mike is a future King and as for Athena she is my advisor and bodyguard so she has to be here''  my uncle said in a proud voice... '' how can she be your advisor??? isn't she mute and you have a girl for a bodyguard????'' said one of  Kaiden's guards ...'' Rufus , knowledge and strength are the only voices she needs ... because knowledge is power... so lets begin shall we???'' .... everyone nodded '' so as you know my brother was due to marry this week but the wedding was scheduled due to the fact that his intended suddenly disappered ....'' Carl said in a monotone voice that showed that he meant business....''my brother thought that what if the same happens to Dainah , so we are here asking if its alright that she comes to our kingdom and stays there until the wedding.. no offence i know that you can take care of your daughter but i dont want to take any risks with the love of my life'' said Carl and you could see the worry and sincerety in his voice when he said that.... '' we believe that if she is in our kingdom no one can harm her'' said Kaiden...  I looked at Mike in a way that tells him that i have a question i took a note pad and wrote down my question and gave it to Mike who had no problem reading it '' so Athena wants to know that what if the person who is doing this is right under your noses and do you have any leads or suspect to the case , because as far as we know maybe your fiance had cold feet and went off without telling anyone ''  after he read the note pad everyone went quite until Kaiden spoke ''that is a good question Athena but i have known Felicia all my life , she would never run away... she has wanted to be queen for as long as i can remember so trust me she wouldn't run'' ... he really did sound so sure , so they obviously know each other well and anyways what was i thinking  when i thought that people like him could love a person like me (mute)....

i hear what you are saying and i dont havea [problem with Dainaih staying with you just dont tell her whats really going on, and i want Mike to go with her and protect her'' my uncle said with finality and with that we all nodded until; Mike spoke''father i dont have a problem with going with Dainah but can i take Athena with me????/''     Mike said sounding desperate and looking at Kaiden and uncle for permission... '' i dont have a problem with it at all as long as King Kaiden and Athena agree'' my uncle said and both Mike and I looked at Kaiden waiting for his response... '' i am good with it as long as Athena  is good with it'' ..... ''what do you say Athena ???? one last adventure for the summer???'' Mike said making his eyebrows dance, i took out my note pad and wrote "one last adventure for the summer''.......
