ACASHA (A Symbol of Eternity and Resurrection)
Chapter 23
...🦋 HAPPY READING 🦋...
Castela hastened the speed of his horse. The sun was about to set when he got home. He was very worried about the fate of his servant. Just now he got a letter from Ema saying that the crown prince will visit tonight.
Castela quickly put his horse into the stables without the knowledge of his subordinates. He then climbed a bedsheet that he deliberately hid that was bound on the balcony of his room.
"Damn it! That guy is fucking! His life just always makes me hard!" Bump Castela as her butt violently landed on the floor.
Castela immediately entered the bathroom to coincide with the door being opened.
Brak!!
"Your majesty you can't mas-"
Ema's words were cut off when she saw the figure that had become the root of the commotion at this time just came out of the bathroom with her bathrobe.
"What's this about? Ah, my God, what are you doing here, your majesty?!" Castela pretended to be surprised as she tightened her open chest.
Morgan who saw the scene in front of him suddenly turned his face that looked flushed in any direction.
"Ah, sorry lady, I thought you weren't inside. Then I go out first, I'll wait for you in the living room." Prince Morgan said, then walked out of Castela's room.
Ema immediately closed the room door. Coinciding with that, Castela ripped to the floor. Both of his legs felt exhausted at this moment. Castela breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the state of his service that looked not much different from him.
"Miss, are you okay?" Ema asked worriedly and helped Castela sit on the edge of the bed.
Castela nodded. "How did he get here?" Castela asked, looking at her servant who was taking a nightgown from the closet.
"Commander Karel sent me a letter. He said the crown prince had assigned a spy around the Duke's residence. And the spy saw you coming out of the residence hurriedly on a horse and reported it directly to the prince. Fortunately I still got to send you a letter." Said Ema who was currently helping Castela get dressed.
"Huh, that was almost. If I'm a little late, I can't guarantee your safety. You've worked hard today." Said Castela patting Ema's shoulder in reply to her sweet smile.
"I'm glad to be of use to you, miss. We must also thank Commander Karel. Because thanks to his dexterity, we can feel helped." Said Ema, who was taken by Castela.
Ema put on a robe as her final touch to Castela's body. The weather is pretty cold tonight. Evening dress in Castela certainly less warm if used out of the room.
"All right, Ema, let's go out." Castela then walked out followed by Ema
Castela saw Prince Morgan sitting on one of the chairs accompanied by Commander Karel behind him. He immediately smiled sweetly upon noticing Castela's presence.
"Honor to you, your majesty. What important business has caused you to come to my little hut these glorious nights?" Castela said in a polite tone as possible to cover up her frustration.
Castela took his place on one of the empty sofas. Staring at prince Morgan with a flat gaze.
Castela raised next to her eyebrows. Then back to neutralize the look of his face.
'Absolutely stupid wrong! For your absurd reason that my waist hurts from riding so fast!'
"Ah, certainly not your highness. How could I possibly blame you?" Castela
Of course, the words full of swear it only ended in his brain. He did not want to die before he knew what world he was in, and what fate had brought him to this place.
"Ah, okay, I think you're okay. I just don't want anything to happen to my future wife. As you know lady, I have many enemies. There must be someone who wants to ruin our marriage." Prince Morgan looked at Castela with a stare as if to say, 'I know you're planning to run away, and I won't let it.'
Castela set alarm alarm. That's what Marquis Steven and Brian said. Prince Morgan was not a fool who could be easily tricked. Well, in the end he was deceived by his wife.
"You take it easy, your majesty, I am not as weak as you might think. To protect myself, I still seem to be able to. Or maybe, you yourself are currently in danger." Castela said with a grin on her lips.
"You don't need to worry Lady, I have many great warriors willing to die at any time for my safety. That is why, I will send great soldiers from the palace to look after you until our wedding day arrives." Prince Morgan said with a grin no less creepy than Castela's 'Of course I have to do it, otherwise you will definitely plan to run away from our marriage.'
"You don't have to do it, your majesty. What do you mean the knights in my residence are not quite great and competent? What is the dubious tone of care at the residence of a Herli Duke?" Castela said with a look of disbelief.
"I don't mean to say it's lady. But, earth rats can infiltrate very easily, right? They just need to dig a hole, then hide their prey through the hole. Wouldn't it be better if we prevented the rats from digging the lady's hole? That way, we'll easily catch them. You just need to shut up, watch, torture, then kill." Prince Morgan said with a sweet smile on his face.
"But the earth rats are noble intelligent animals. I doubt, will those great soldiers of yours be able to catch rats in the ground?? Wouldn't it be better if you directly obliterated the king?" Castela asked as she sipped her tea leisurely.
"I could have done it, killing the King of the rats was not a difficult thing. But I'm not the one who likes to kill the lady right away. It would be better, to play with him a little, put him under my control, destroy the life around him, then torture him so much that he himself would beg to be better killed."
Castela laughed, her hands behind the dress clenched tightly. But with all his strength he controls so that his emotions do not explode right now. However, he did not want to endanger the lives of his family and the people involved with him.
Karel and Ema who witnessed their two masters debating about the mole rat were silent. They do not want to interfere in the conversation that hints at killing in it.
"Are you currently waving a glorious war flag? Shouldn't you plan your strategy first? Catching a rat is not an easy job. I'm afraid, you'll be disappointed because everything doesn't go your way." Castela looked down at Prince Morgan sipping his tea.
"You take it easy lady, we're just waiting for a little while. In a moment, it's only a moment before I finally catch the King of the rats." Prince Morgan said as he looked at Castela with a gaze that could not be interpreted.
"Maybe you'll catch him, the prince, from how sure you were to say that just now. But, regarding the game that you will do, I think the mouse will not easily fall into your control. You can make it fall, but to be in your control is certainly not an easy thing. That's why he can be king."
Prince Morgan appeared to clench both of his hands. His face suddenly changed withstanding the resentment after hearing Castela's words.
"Sure lady, to be King, you must be strong. If not, then you will be easily eliminated by your enemies."
"You are right prince, you are indeed very strong, but do not rule out the possibility if the King of rats is also strong, or even he has his plausible points, namely clever." Castela said with a slanted smile adorned her beautiful face like a Goddess.
