Queen of Benevento

Roasted potatoes

It's been a long walk for them... unfortunately they didn't reach any village before it is dark... So Aaron lit the firewoods .... Felix collected few potatoes on the way...so She is roasting the potatoes

"You know how to Roast potatoes?" Asked Aaron in disbelief

"This is the only one I know... That to I never did it but saw Josephine doing... So don't expect it to be good" says Felix concentrating on the potatoes...

"Felix... Why don't you have any single quality of a woman?  Asks Aaron in wonder... He never saw any woman like Felix...

"What do you mean by that?" Ask Felix while smiling at his wondered tone

"You tie your hair differently... You don't Dance or sing... You don't Cook or do decoration.." he says to which she nods her head in accepting

"Maybe I am not meant to do them... Do you know My grandmother says that my mother Bianca is exactly like me... Even she doesn't behave like a woman" says Felix

"I heard so much about queen Bianca... My father use to say that.. when she walks into the court... Her Aura itself make the people in the court sweat and shiver" says Aaron

"My mother said that my father is always afraid of her when she is angry," says Felix laughing...

"My father is also afraid of my mother when she is angry," says Aaron... To which both of them laugh...

"By the way, I can dance," says Felix giving him half of the roasted potatoes...

"Really?" Asks Aaron... In shock

"I don't know why... I like dancing..  I learned sword dance..." Says Felix

"That is the difficult one," says Aaron to which Felix nod yes..

" I think they should Roast a little more," says Felix while eating her potatoes.. and Aaron nods his head

~~~~~~~~

It was the longest night for both of them... Neither of them slept the whole night.... It's a new experience for them to stay the whole night in the forest without a roof....

They spent their whole night counting the stars and playing with fire... They found that fire doesn't have a shadow... They don't know the reason behind it but felt exciting to know something on their own...

With the sun waking in the East they started their journey towards the sun... In the hope to find a place to eat... Both of them spent the whole day With few roasted potatoes...

"Aaron My legs are hurting," says Felix sitting on the stump... Aaron kneels in front of her and gives her a massage for a while... That relaxed her pain...

"Thanks," she said to him to which he laughed...

"Always in your service my grace," says Aaron Dramatically making Felix laugh ...

They again start their journey..

"We should have bought our horses," says Aaron

"My mother said that we should walk for a while and then buy new horses," says Felix

"Why does queen want us to suffer," asks Aaron with a frown

"My mother said that walking makes us feel our surroundings and we can predict what's happening around... " Says Felix to which he nods... Still walking...
