Queen of Benevento

Search

It was the other Autumn morning... Felix thoughts are filled with this mysterious grey-haired man... A weak princess his words were repeatedly playing in her little head... Why did that man say she is weak?... Is the question she wants an answer for... It hurt her pride.....

Next time if she sees him... She wanted to prove her strength... She wanted him to know that she is not an ordinary princess.. she is a queen.. A queen likes her mother....

A silly thought popped into her brain... What if she goes in search of the man...

~~~~~~~~~

Josephine, Felix, and Zade are walking in the forest for this mysterious grey-haired man....

"Why do you want to prove to him, Sister... He will know himself when you take the throne....." Speaks Zade in exhaustion... He is too irritated and annoyed to search for a stranger...

"No Zade it's about my pride... I Bianca Felix doesn't need a throne to be strong... " Spoke Felix...

"Why are you so Stubborn," asks Josephine settling herself on a stump of a tree... That made Felix frown at her cousins who are weak and sensitive...

"Felix.. today I heard something interesting in the kitchen," says Josephine out of nowhere ...

Felix settle on the other stump next to Josephine.. while Zade sit on the opposite one to them

"I heard when we find ' the one'... We have butterflies dancing in our stomachs... It feels like the whole world is singing and pushing us towards each other" says Josephine.. imagining the one that comes for her on a Lusitano ...

"Do you mean about your future sirs and my future lady?" Asks Zade curiously while blushing

"Don't you think that's too early for you to think about it?" Asks Felix pointing her index finger to Zade

"No..." Says Zade.. shaking his head No

"Do you know what Felix.. they told that.. when we kiss our man then the whole world stop at once and there will be sparking everywhere around.." says Josephine with excitement

"Josephine stop dreaming... That's just a poetic way of expressing the feeling... There will be nothing happening like that... And love is not about butterflies... It's about Warmth.." Explains Felix to her younger cousins

"They even told that this man of mine will protect me from Damons," says Josephine.. looking at Felix with innocence

"No..." Stands Felix opposing to what Josephine just spoke

"Why should some man protect you, Josephine... If you want protection then stand up and learn to protect yourself... You are too capable of protecting yourself" says Felix in anger... She didn't like her sister say that she need a man to protect her... The way she is feeling so dependent making Felix sick

"Felix, if we marry someone our life gets completed... We get the titles and we will be blessed with Motherhood" says Josephine in defense of her argument

Zade is enjoying this drama sitting on his stump comfortably ... He likes the way they are entertaining him...

"Marriage is for weak Josephine... I don't need a king to be queen.. because I am a queen by birth and I don't need a man for protection cause I am capable of protecting myself and my family... I don't need a stranger for giving me warmth.. because my mother, aunt Anna, uncle Apollo, grandfather, grandmother, you, and zade give it to me... I feel free to argue, to yell, to shout and to laugh with you and I doesn't need a stranger for all of these..." says Felix Angrily and walks away...

"Not everyone is you, Felix... You are born to be queen and we are not like you we were born to be wife.. a good wife" says Josephine with a frown.. she doesn't want to lose the argument...

"That's not true... If you want the title then prove yourself... You could be the first woman duchess and rule on your own... You don't need a man for that" shouts Felix as she walks past them

Zade and Josephine followed her silently... Till they saw the familiar face which they were actually searching for...This mysterious guy sitting under a tree with a white deer on his lap.. he is petting it with so affection... And love

"Grey-haired man" shouted Felix with excitement and joy... Grabbing his attention

"Don't you know a woman shouldn't come deep into the woods without an escort?" asks the stranger... Looking at her

"Why do I need an Escort... If they are with me I should protect them too.. I am already having two of them to protect" says Felix pointing her cousins and walking towards him

Her words made the stranger laugh with amusement... she kneeled in front of him and joined him in petting.. he continued looking at her with 'why is she feeling so familiar' look

"How pretty " exclaims Felix petting white deer sensitively

"Did you like it?" Asks the man

"Who don't like these pretty souls," she says Sitting beside him.. while Josephine and Zade stand a little far from them not bothering to involve in their conversation.....
