HOLD MY HAND THROUGH THE WAVES

CHAPTER 14

WHERE YELLOW ROSE TURNS RED....

"Just asking...Why do you hate brother Arthur so much" Asked Kai sitting next to Fox. "Cause I just do and hey why not?" She winked at him offering him more food. "I didn't know that you were such a fun person Noona (Older sister)." Just Kai and his sparkling eyes, Fluffy hair reminded her of someone. She wanted to protect Kai for some reason that even she don't know herself, "And you are one of a kind master piece Kai.." She played with his hair. "I seriously have a question Noona...How can I get a hair like yours..?" Wolf and Fox choked on their drink. "I don't think a royal kid like you needs a hair cut like this.." Fox opined with a warm smile. "I just thought then I could be brave like you.." "I think you are brave as yourself.." Fox noticed his sudden dull eyes and continued, "I have something for you."

                                     
"Well....where have you been huh?" Arthur placed her back on ground. "You know to Miriana, to see my sister." "Did you go alone?" "No..I was with Derek.." "Derek? He's back?" "Well Ahoy there Amigo..Missed me?" "Sure did.." Arthur hugged Derek, "Heyoo.. what about Wolf and Fox did you guys get along?" "Surprisingly yes.." "You can't be serious like really??" Derek seemed so happy as Derek was the missing piece in the iconic foursome. Derek from the village of Lorelei, "You didn't change your hair didn't you?" Arthur asked looking at his fluffy black hair. Derek just rolled his blue eyes and asked, "You changed it don't you?" He pulled Arthur's hair and continued, "yours is long.." Arthur slapped his hand. "Woah..woah pretty boys...Gotta get moving before mister moustache come here and says, Whattt in the lordssss are theseee beggaaarsss doinggg in my palace? Slauuughterrr them Arrrthurr..." Agnes moked Walter's voice which made them laugh hard. "Agnes take him to Kai's home...You know him, Miriana's Minister's son." "Yes, Why there?" "Mother is there with Rainier.." "We gotta keep moving then.." Derek stepped out first, Agnes waited him to leave. "I really missed you Arthur.." "Glad to hear." Arthur suddenly kissed her cheek. "...What- Arthur!!" "Why?" Arthur asked as if nothing happened. "Forget it.." She left to catch up with Derek.



"God! I missed you." Rainier get down from his Hercules and tied him where he was tied before. "Ahem.." Rainier could feel someone pinching his ears. "Ouch that hurts.." He turned to see his mother, "Mother? How-When did you come here?" "Yesterday when Fox told me you were too busy carrying your girl to her room..Well I heard she is pretty.." "Mother...it's not like that.." "Well your loss, where have you been?" "In the forest." "Better talk with Veronica she was walking around like someone possessed her.." "Mother!!........I missed you and your silliness.." "He hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Better get going before someone goes mad then but what are you doing out here alone?" "She is not alone you know..." Adam jumped out of nowhere. "You- Ugh you need a bell around your neck more than Momo." "I was in the bushes picking strawberries for your mother and I love strawberries so we get along pretty well..Right mother?" "Yes yes Adam..You are my boy.." "I don't like the way you swaying so many hearts of woman in Lorelei." "Aren't I just charming.." Adam flipped his hair and received a face of disgust.

"Thinking hard are you?" Veronica jumped out of her bed recognising that deep voice. "I'm not thinking I was just reading can't you see?" "I can see....that you are holding your book upside down." Rainier pulled the book from her. "Ced!! Give me that back. He just ignored her and sat right in front her on the bed. "You wanna know what happened last night?" He asked looking at her eyes, She just ignored eye contact and nodded. "Well...You were asleep when I woke up and your hair looked like an octopus so I tied it up and took you home." "That's it??" "Why do you look so disappointed? You expected something else?" "N- No...Not at all....Uh- why would I ? She tried to get up and leave but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "What are you doing?" "Just stay like that." He stood up and held her head close to his chest, "I'm glad Adam is your brother..So he won't sway your heart too." "You wanted to say this? Oh my god Ced Unbelievable." She tried to pull her head but he stopped her. "No I wanted to say that no I wanted to like you know ask you if you liked me the way I like you." "What is the way that you like me?" "Like more than friendship..? You know..?" He waited for her to say something, ....Uhm..June...don't mind me holding your head close to my chest I just can't face you.." Veronica pulled back and said, "Sorry Ced...I don't know If I can like you because I'm already in love with the second prince of Lorelei you know..Some guy named Rainier Cedrick Edric. "Oh I'm so- Uh? What?" "You dummy you really fell for that don't you? She smiled at him and walked out.


"I can't believe you don't recognise your own name..."  "She was right about you..The dummy thing.." "Don't say you still have no idea.." Rainier turned around and saw Regina, Fox and Wolf standing on the other side of the window. "Mother...I think you nearly torn my ears off while teaching about eavesdropping..?" "Well in this case honey...It's exceptional." "You are not gonna stand here like this right?" Wolf asked placing his fist on his mouth. "What am I supposed to do?" Rainier was entirely clueless. "Man she just confessed to you...? Don't you read books?" "Oh well hold on sister..You know what reality hits hard things in books won't really happen in real life." Rainier replied to Fox. "This guy is hopeless.." Wolf was about to walk away, "Wolf where is Adam?" Rainier asked. "He said he's going to sneak into the palace." "Nothing new, that creeper climbs everywhere.."

"You going somewhere?" Ezra almost dropped her glass. "Are you a ghost? How are you doing this? Well never mind I am not going anywhere.." "But you are dressed up." "Yes It's Walter, he ordered me to dress like the royals since I'm living in the palace." "Because of that monster at least you look beautiful." "Really?" "No, I'm just joking." "That's really rude.." "Did you eat?" "No actually.." She hid her hand inside her gown. "What happened to your hand?" "Nothing..." "You are a bad liar Ezra.." He grabbed her arm and saw a deep cut on her palm. "No wonder you didn't eat, What happened?" "Walter- He asked me about Rainier and Aunt Regina as he was highly disappointed with my answer-" "That bastard- Are you okay? Did you apply medicines?" "Yes I did." "Then come sit here I'll feed you.." He tapped his palm on the bed beside him. "But I don't have any foo-" She stopped as he pulled out a box of cheese cake from his bag. "Oh my god Cheese cake!!" She sat beside before he could know "I know I know.." He rolled his eyes and offered her a piece.

"You really mean it?" "Mean what?" "About what you said earlier." Rainier pulled the chair beside her and sat on it. Veronica choked on her soup, "Momo..come to mother.." Veronica tapped on her lap looking at Momo and she jumped to Veronica's lap. "Good girl.." Veronica kissed on Momo's head and continued with her soup. Rainier felt like he was invisible. Momo tilted her head and looked at Rainier wagging her tail, "At least you can see me." He patted Momo and was about to leave. He felt a grip on his shirt, He turned, "Do you want some soup? I heard you were out all night.." They both stared blankly at each other for some time. "ARE YOU REALLY GONNA PRETEND LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED??"

"Mother!!" "Agnes?" Agnes came running towards Regina. "Is someone with you?" "DEREK!??" Wolf and Fox came running and hugged Derek. "It's you Derek it's been long since I saw you..." Regina caressed his cheeks. "I missed you too mother." Derek hugged Regina, "You guys look....wild." "You look the same.." Fox said teasing him.

"HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DEREK?"
