Changing destiny ' White Rose '
CHAPTER 39
The atmosphere of the forest in the afternoon is very quiet, at this time the sun has sunk . The sky slowly darkened, we spurred the horse as fast as possible to get to the old house .
.
.
.
A while ago, we spent the whole day on the river until dusk . Curtis and I hurriedly returned to the place where the women of the village were, fortunately they had not left . We came back on time when they were cleaning up their equipment and were about to go home .
After saying thank you and giving some bronze coins to them, and stained with a bit of a pull-out scene that always ended in my victory . We immediately drove our horses back to the village, I looked back a little at the girl who had a crush on Curtis . From then on until the moment we left, he just lowered his head and stood quite far away from us . I am still curious about the story ...
While we were driving the horse towards the village, Curtis yelled at me .
" I'll go back to the villa myself, you wait at the village gate . To save time his "scream towards me
" Good "I shouted back
After hearing my answer, Curtis immediately spurred his horse as fast as lightning
. I looked up with my mouth open in shock, 'have I been mispronouncing, being arrogant by showing off the trivial abilities I have in front of him . It's a shame .. 'my mind is depressed . We also split in each direction . I put my horse towards the village gate .
I stopped in front of a simple village gate made only of weathered wood on some sides, I looked down bored . My fingers moved along the beautiful carving in the violin box hanging on the horse, then after getting tired I played black hair on Curtis's neck . I stroked her lightly .
" So obedient" I said praising
" Just like the owner, hihihi " muttered and then giggled happily
5 Minutes later Curtis came on horseback very quickly in the middle of a crowded village road, leaving people afraid of getting hit . He then stopped in front of me, his horse huddled hard and his front legs stood up . Then back on the tread hard, making the dust fly .
Curtis gave me the robe this morning that I was wearing, to put it back on . I saw Curtis controlling the horse with only one hand, while the other held my large picnic basket .
" His handsome brother, why is it speeding so fast ?? What if I hurt people "many of me
" It is impossible "to answer short
" Oh !! stubborn "I rattled hard
Curtis had gone first leaving me ready to nag him, I pouted and then followed behind him .
.
.
.
After breaking through the forest, we arrived in front of the old house . Curtis jumped down first and opened the rusted gate in front, I followed behind him while pulling the horses .
Curtis took the lead in front of entering the quiet courtyard, the sun had already set completely . This page also became pitch black no illumination . I clutched the horse rope tightly in my hand and followed right behind Curtis .
Curtis looked around carefully, and found nothing unusual . Then he tied the horse in the yard and carried the basket in his hand while the other side took me to the front door, Curtis grabbed a small twig tucked in the middle of the door . The twig remained intact as before .
" What is that for ?? " let me wonder
" As a sign, whether anyone comes in or not "the answer is flat
" Wah .. handsome brother, I didn't think you could be this smart" I said praising
Curtis just glanced at me a little and muttered, then he opened the fragile door slowly so as not to collapse again . The creak of the loud door tickled my ears and made my hair goosebumps . I immediately rushed over to Curtis' side and grabbed his arm with my hands free from carrying the violin box .
Curtis didn't respond to anything or make fun of me this time, maybe he knew I was scared like before .
" His handsome brother, when did you put that twig up ?? " many try to distract me
I started to get scared, when it was the second time I entered this old house . But it still feels as creepy as before .
Curtis walked towards the drawer at the side of the room, to pick up the little oil lantern left behind earlier, I followed closely each step of Curtis while holding his arm .
Curtis led me to the bedroom with the little lantern in front . After arriving at the door we were silent, Curtis turned to me and I looked at him with a look asking 'what is it ? '
" Open the door "he said flatly while nodding his chin towards the door
I turned to his two hands which were now holding baskets and lanterns, then called out to understand .
" Ah .. yes .. yes .. "my sahutku
Afterwards I removed my hook on Curtis's arm and rushed forward to open the door . The door creaked open, revealing a pitch-black room with a sinister white curtain silhouette behind it, I immediately went back to hiding behind Curtis and held his arm tightly .
Curtis led me into the room and stopped in the middle of the room . Then he placed the basket beside my feet, and he also handed the little lantern to me . I accepted it, Curtis came forward to move the dusty carpet that covered his secret passage .
Curtis's finger went down an invisible crack from the secret door, then his right hand reached for the dagger in his pocket . I who had seen the dagger before was not too surprised anymore, Curtis stuck the tip of the dagger in the crack of the secret door and then poked it a little .
Chequelek
The key sounds open, Curtis opens it wide . I advanced forward, and saw an iron ladder attached to the wall towards the underground .
" I'll go down first, bring your things" Curtis told me
" Okay, answer me
Curtis grabbed the violin box and picnic basket with one hand, then jumped down lightly without difficulty . I was quite surprised, seeing him who suddenly jumped without going down the stairs . As soon as his foot stepped on the ground floor, instantly the crystal lamp that was on the side of the wall lit up simultaneously illuminated the underground passage .
" Come down" cried Curtis from below
" Yes "my scream
I left the oil lantern on the side of the secret door then clung carefully to the iron staircase, and crawled down . Curtis watched closely from the bottom and when I was about to get to the bottom, he helped hold my waist to keep it from falling .
I jumped lightly from the last rung of stairs to the floor below, then threw a smile at Curtis .
" Hah .. until also "I said while sighing .
I handed the robe over to Curtis and then took off the robe I was wearing . I went forward and on my tiptoes to put it on Curtis, Curtis lowered his head to make it easier for me to tie a rope around his neck . The sight we met, there was a highlight of a reluctance to part within his eyes .
(Note: originally the autor wanted to restore his robe in chapter 29 but forgot until now, wkwkwk )
I smiled gently as I patted the ribbon I tied .
" Don't miss it again "I said flatly
" Uhm" he murmured as he lowered his gaze
I saw him holding back his feelings again, sighing inwardly then tiptoe higher and resting on both shoulders . I tilted my head then .. 'cup' I kissed gently on his left cheek .
" Till see you next month "my whisper in her ear
Then I immediately turned to grab the basket on the ground and ran into the secret passageway . I ran hard without looking back or seeing how Curtis reacted . I just ran to escape, because right now my face feels hot .
' Akh ...... Cleo, are you now in the 2nd puberty' my inner cry is frustrated
On the other hand Curtis was left behind, still sculpting unconsciously . He stood in the same position, unchanged after Cleo kissed him and ran away . Curtis is still trying to digest what just happened, his brain is heating up while processing the incident .
Curtis lowered his head and covered his face with his palms, a crimson face radiating to his neck and both ears .
" Aaaahhh .. "the cry is muffled
He tightly covered his mouth as well so that the voice would not echo along the passageway and reach the ears of his little girl, it would make him very embarrassed when they met again .
Meet again ... yes, they will meet again ... . Really this time Curtis could not control his overflowing emotions, his heart pounding fast . All the expressions he felt at this moment were clearly reflected in his countenance .
Not even Curtis knew how he got out of the old house and back to the Colombain residence, he seemed to be drifting with his intoxicating feelings at this time .
.
.
.
" Huh .. hah .. hah ..... "
My breath falters, I run very fast along the secret passage . My heart skipped a beat and my face flushed red, either because of Curtis or lack of oxygen from running long enough just now . I didn't think much of it anymore, I wiped away all the sweat that was pouring down my forehead
Now that I was standing before the entrance of the secret passageway behind the bookshelf, I grabbed the dim crystal lamp on the wall and pulled it slowly .
Chequelek
Lock open, small gap seen between stone wall secret door . The crystal light automatically turned off when I opened the lock, I looked back at the dark secret passageway .
' What a handsome big brother, has gone ' wide-eyed in my mind
I shook my head hard, getting rid of the thought for a moment . Then I pulled the door of the wall, emblazoned with a magnificent and classic royal library . The light of the large crystal lamp that was in the library entered into the passageway, illuminating a hint of darkness within it .
I immediately raised my feet walking out of the secret passageway, and pushed closed the wall shelf that acted as the door .
I looked to my right and left, feeling like nothing had changed since I left this morning . Means no one forcibly entered the library, I looked at the big clock in the corner . My eyes glared wide, seeing what time it was .
" Akh .... !!! shit ... stay another 15 minutes, I'm late !!! " i shouted as I ran towards the library door .
I hurried to unlock the giant iron door, then walked out of the royal library . The nighttime atmosphere in the familiar palace environment, immediately greeted my sight . But I did not have time to reminisce or complain because time was too fast, I immediately ran back to my palace carrying a basket in hand .
The palace soldiers on patrol were astonished because I ran like I was after something . On the way back, I met Alice and Blance who were walking hastily towards the library, maybe they were intending to catch up with me .
" Daughter !!! " they cried out simultaneously when they saw me
They immediately rushed to my side, I stopped on the road and gasped out of breath .
" Daughter, why are you back so late ?? " summer Alice
" Right Princess, we are all worried about you never coming back" said Blance
I was too tired to run and still bored, did not have the energy to serve them . So I crammed the picnic baskets on them and continued my run .
" Huh . hah .. hahhh .... Take this, come on .. we're late .. "I said stammering
They also remember returning to their destination of coming to the library to pick up Princess Clea so as not to be late at a regular dinner together at the main palace .
" Ah ... true "excited Alice remembered
" Daughter ... don't run !! it will fall !! " cried Blance to me who was far ahead
They also rushed to run after me who was a little far away . The three of us were running around so fast that it only took 5 minutes to arrive at the palace where I lived .
Deenna was pacing back and forth in the palace's living room, while Chacha she was waiting anxiously beside the sofa . My feet ran into the palace and shocked them . My appearance was a little messy from running along the road, sweaty streaks hanging on my reddened face . My breath was interrupted when I opened my mouth to speak to them .
" Ha .. hah .. ha .. don't .. ask .. now, let's get ready first" I said
Deenna and Chacha soon realized after hearing my weak voice, they then made me walk into my bedroom . Alice and Blance were following running behind me, just arrived . Deenna glanced sharply at those whose appearance fell apart as well .
" Where have you been, quickly help the Princess get ready "deenna said to the two
They could only bow and answer slowly "Good "
Blance rushed to the palace kitchen to put the picnic basket back in his hand, and kept the Princess's violin box back in the musical instrument room .
While Alice walked ahead to prepare the hot tub first, just as Alice finished preparing it, me and Chacha walked in . They both bathed me in lightning and then returned to the dressing room where Deenna was ready .
I was groomed as quickly as possible by 4 of my servants at once, after 15 minutes later I was ready to attend dinner with King Damien and Queen Carissa who may have been waiting for my arrival .
Me and Deenna walked quickly to the main palace, I always saw time along the way to the main palace . I realized it was 10 minutes late, my brain started to spin around to find a reason to be used on the King and Queen later .
