48 hours to fall in love

Part 41

The sun announced the beginning of a new day in the kingdom of Empress, today would take place the royal trial of German, his parents, and Koda, one of David's best friends and gang mate, who was not aware that Koda would be taken to the royal trial.

David, on the other hand, was really happy and grateful for the opportunity that life was giving him to change his path and find a new direction. Now his brother no longer had to work, as David would take care of all the basic needs of him and his mother.

-Good morning, wife, how did my queen wake up? -David whispered in Vilma's right ear.

-Wonderful, and you my love? -She said, and smiled at her husband.

-Wonderful," he said, as he stole a tender kiss from her.

-Well, my love, it's time to get up, don't go on, it's time to get up, today we have to go to several real trials, and I also want to go to see if my sister Greta woke up, will you come with me? -she asked.

-Of course, my love," he answered her.

Once they were ready, they both made their way to Princess Greta's room, Vilma made sure to leave her crown in her room, and make David leave it right there, she didn't want Greta to feel bad, she remembered perfectly what Greta had said at the end of her coronation yesterday. Entering her room, Vilma found a lying Greta, wrapped in the sheets, even though it was not a cold day. The queen asked the maid who was there to leave. Once she was gone, Vilma spoke to her sister, for the first time in twelve years, how strange it felt, Vilma thought, it was like speaking to a person who was dead, but came back to life.

-How are you, sister? -asked Vilma.

David looked at Greta, she didn't look much like her sister, but she did have an air that reminded him that she too belonged to royalty. Greta opened her eyes, they were a shade of navy blue. She looked at her sister, Vilma was undoubtedly beautiful, today she was wearing a yellow dress with a flower print that reached her knees.

-I'm... I'm a little tired," Greta whispered, her voice barely audible.

It's understandable, it's only a day since you got out of that horrible prison, -Greta, you don't have to worry about the culprits anymore, because German and his parents will pay for all the harm they did to you -Vilma told her.

-I... I would like to know why they did it, why they kidnapped me for all these years, what I did to them, what I did to them? -Greta wanted to know.

-I don't know that, sister, but I'm going to ask German as soon as I can," said her sister.

-Thank you, Vilma, you know... I missed you a lot," said Greta.

And it brought a tear to Vilma's cheek, it had been so long since she had heard Greta say her name, it was like a shot to the heart that made her react how much she loved her. Greta, being so weak, did not reciprocate, but she felt very impressed by Vilma's hug, she did not know how much she needed it until she gave it to her.

-I missed you so much too, Greta," said Vilma once she sat on the bed and took her sister's hand, "I... I want to introduce you to David, he is my husband.

David approached Greta and said:

-Nice to meet you, princess.

-Nice to meet you, David," she replied, and then turned to her sister.

-I married him yesterday," said Vilma.

-I'm very happy for you, sister, that... that you finally found the love of your life," said her sister.

-Do you remember when we used to play haunted castle when we were little, Greta? -asked the queen.

-Of course, I will never forget it, those were very funny moments of my childhood I spent with you, sister, do you remember when we stole those slices of cake from the refrigerator? -said Greta.

-Yes, it's a memory I have so vivid in my mind, that our mother had forbidden us to eat a second helping of cake, and yet we disobeyed her. They never discovered us," said Vilma, laughing.

-It's true, they never noticed, ha, ha," laughed Greta, with her sister.

-I loved playing pranks with you," said Vilma, the following she said with a melancholic tone of voice, "if I had known you would leave so quickly, I would have made the most of every second," she said, while a tear blurred her eye.

-But, Vilma, you did it, we enjoyed every second of our childhood, and now you can make up for it, and enjoy every second of our adulthood, life gives us a second chance, and we have to feel grateful for that," said Greta.

-It's true, we must always see the positive side of things, and.... here you are, you are real, you are here for me, I am here for you, and we have to make every moment together wonderful," said Vilma.

-Yes, you're, you're absolutely right, sister, but, we can't make every moment wonderful until the wretch who kidnapped me is dead," Greta exclaimed, and suddenly the whole atmosphere felt full of tension.

-Do you feel like some breakfast, Greta? -Vilma wanted to know, trying to ignore the palpable tension in the atmosphere.

-No, the truth is that I have no memory of what I like and what I dislike, but you know what I haven't been able to forget, the delicious waffles that cook Luisa used to make," exclaimed Princess Greta.

-Well, I have to say that it's been a couple of years since cook Luisa has been working at the castle, she retired, but in her place came Sonia, and let me tell you that the waffles she makes are even better than the ones Luisa used to make, really, they are delicious," said Queen Vilma.

-Well, if what you say is true, I would be delighted to have some for breakfast," asked Princess Greta.

-I'll tell Sonia right away, sister," said Vilma, who stood up and asked the maid to tell Sonia that she needed her to prepare some waffles and bring them to Princess Greta.

The maid went quickly, and within 15 minutes Sonia had brought the delicious waffles accompanied by maple syrup and orange juice. She placed them on Princess Greta's bed and left.

-Look sister, you'd better hurry up and devour them, because I'm starving and I can't resist the temptation," the queen amused.

-Take one, don't be ashamed," said her sister.

-No, I... I'd better go get breakfast in the dining room, I'll... I'll see you later, Greta, enjoy your breakfast.

-Thank you very much," Greta whispered softly.
