Legend of the Moon Crystal
Chapter 120 "The King's Promise and the Princess' Jealousy"
A few days passed since breakfast time, which Christopher told him to serve him. Not only did he get there, the man aggressively approached him and did not hide his interest in Lova, which almost made Lova experience the problems caused by Veronica.
Like one day Christopher came to Lova who was arranging flowers in the garden. “Need my help?”
Lova turned her head and let out a small jolt when she found the tyrant king already crouched beside her, taking a rose in her hand and turning to look at her with a bead of cold green, she looked at him with a trace of tenderness that would make all women tremble under that gaze. Lova's heart rippled, she lowered her head and in a half-vibrating voice asked. “Ya-Your Majesty? W-Why can you be here?”
“Can't I be here?” The question that led to the statement made Lova want to open her lips to say something, but in an instant, she again silenced her lips and shook her head. “Surely you can go anywhere Your Majesty wants.”
“Why did you answer my question with such an annoying answer? I asked why you approached a little guy like me in the middle of a 2-acre park, this, huh.”
Christopher looked at Lova and said something, “It seems you are upset.”
Yep! I'm upset because of you!!
Lova wanted to say something like that, but she still loved life of course. The girl only commented on the smile but the smile did not reach her eyes and awkwardly said, “Why am I upset Your Majesty? I am facing beautiful flowers, and I should not be upset to keep them blooming beautifully.”
“Can it work?” The question invited a nod from Lova. “Of course! Does Your Majesty not know?”
Christopher shakes. Lova raised her voice, “The people of my village believe that every flower has a soul connected to the human who plants and cares for it. If humans fall in love or are timid, they will become buds, the plants will wither and wither. If man laughs cheerfully, plants will bloom perfectly, and if man cries or is sad, plants will wither and die.”
Christopher seems to listen carefully and not once seen to have the desire to interrupt the words of Lova who is telling a story. When Lova finished saying, Christopher opened his voice. “Can they understand me too? If I want to plant too, what flowers are suitable for me?”
Lova was dumbfounded and asked in an almost incredulous tone, “A-Do you believe?!”
“Not Yes?”
Lova held her lips, but an arch she could not hide after a while. Lova grinned and laughed with a stifled voice that made Christopher frown in confusion, but it slightly added to the cold impression on his face. “Why are you laughing?”
“Pftt! Ma-I'm sorry, I just, pft! Haha!” His voice was laughing for two seconds. “Because you believe in what I just said. Though it was a lie, how could you possibly believe it?”
Seeing Lova laughing cheerfully, Christopher snorted softly and subconsciously pulled the corner of his lips, just as Lova was watching him. Lova was stunned with that smile, and subconsciously launched a single word that made her face flushed overwhelmingly. Just when he noticed it, his feet had taken him running away from Christopher who was blocking him with his widened lip-smile.
“Did she never glass?” His inner.
“Your Majesty, how can you be so beautiful?”
But what they didn't realize was that there was someone there, hiding behind a pillar. Staring with a flat gaze and filled with hatred.
...***...
“I can't do it!”
He complained to Cecena. As a person who can be included in the group of close friends, Cecena listened to Lova's complaints that he almost never heard from the lips of the girl during his time knowing her. “That girl is a demon! He actually told the madam to cut my rations and wages! Even I am not allowed to use the facilities in the kingdom. I feel like my position is really lower than that of a captive slave, Ce. Two glorious weeks of Christopher here, and two weeks of my life as a real prisoner!”
Cecena sighed heavily and shook her head. “That's because she just envies you, Lova. He was envious because His Majesty King Tir—em, I mean, His Majesty Christopher prefers you over him. No need to be discouraged, I will happily share my meal for you. I can go on a diet with it.”
Lova opened her arms, displaying a faint red mark. “Look! I'm really still lucky that he just hit my arm with a bat, not with a whip, or my hand will completely crumble.”
“Listen, Va. He really is just envious because His Majesty likes you. You have to be more confident and someday, you have to try to fight it.” Cecena gives his opinion”
“The bottom line is, if His Majesty Christopher likes you even to the point where he loves you, he will not give up on keeping you and he will do anything for you. Anyway, please distinguish between the other king and him. Other kings always had hundreds of concubines even before marrying the queen, yet she did not. And you, I guess became her first love.”
Lova looked at Cecena, unable to hold the pink hue on her face. “Se-Actually what nonsense are you talking about, Ce! Don't tease me.”
“However pretend. Jesus, Your Majesty really has to be patient with this girl.” Inner Cecena.
“Oh yes, by the way it has been two days Your Majesty left, have you started to miss him?” The seductive question made Lova frown and ask in a half annoyed tone. “What are you talking about!!”
“Come, no need to be ashamed.”
Lova's mind wandered back a second day ago. Indeed, how he was not ashamed when the King said goodbye to him, saying he would return as soon as possible and would pick him up after settling the matter with the neighboring kingdom.
...***...
“I'll leave this kingdom, tonight.” That statement somehow made Lova's heart throb pain. A feeling that made him subconsciously put on a sad and confused face, which made Christopher look at him with a faint gaze before rolling a smile.
“Emm, then please be careful on Your Majesty's journey. May safety be with—”<TAG1> Lova's words cease. He looked up when he felt the half-rough hand raise his face, gently rubbing his wet cheek.
Uh? Why is she crying?
Lova pulled her face and was about to wipe her tears when the King's pair of hands pulled her and dropped a kiss on her lips. Like a dragonfly touching water, calm and soft. When Christopher pulled her face, Lova's pair of beautiful beads looked at her in shock and confusion. There was a trace of water in his eyes and a faint line of water on his white cheeks.
“After all my business is done, I will pick you up and take you with me. I will greet you my queen, and I will make you happy.” Christopher did not bother to hide his undeniable seriousness, his gaze in looking at Lova.
“Will you wait a minute?” That direct question made Lova who was still in confusion and her daze nodded her head involuntarily. It made Christopher roll up a smile before landing a light kiss with Lova as a form of affection and sincerity of heart and love.
Christopher grabbed Lova into his arms and promised solemnity. “I'll be right back, because I love you.”
...***...
“Burn him!! Burn that witch!! Kill that seductress!”
“Basic fox! How dare to tease His Majesty Christopher.”
“He is obviously also a traitor! Disgusting garbage seems to be worthy to be finished.”
