In the alternate world

In the evening, after many matters had been resolved in the castle, Philip went to Isabelle room, as she had requested ، He was hesitant, but wanted to know what had happened to her in that world.
He was wearing  pants and a light white shirt ، He walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
He looked around and saw Isabelle getting up from a chair in front of a mirror after she had finished styling her hair ، She was wearing a long blue nightgown, and she looked charming in it.

He didn't remember the last time he saw her like that ،  he swallowed When she approached from him. Isabelle stood and looked at him and frowned when she looked at what he was holding in his hand .
"Don't worry, it's a low-alcohol beer."
She sighed and nodded for him to sit on the sofa .
Philip sat down and placed the bottle on the table, while Isabel brought two glasses and sat next to him ، And she started pouring a drink and gave philip a glass .

He take  the glass And he drank a little of it and started moving it with his hand, he had a lot of things to talk about but he didn't know how to start .
"  My mom told me James left , Are you ok?"
Her voice pulled him out of his thoughts and smiled at her, she always knew what he was thinking and what he was worried about  .
"I'm fine, but I don't know what I would do without him, I depended on him a lot, he did not want to let his mother go alone after she was exiled to a southern castle ،"
Philip sighed as he leaned back and leaned against the back of the sofa .

" I'm sure he'll come back when you become king, he won't leave you alone" Isabelle replied And she approached Philip, placing her hand on his shoulder.
“Better he does so I don’t ruin it all.” He replied laughing .
"Don't say that, you'll be a good king,"
Isabelle replied, puffing her cheek in displeasure.
"I'm glad you're back ، I don't know what I would do if I lost you forever,"  Philip whispered .
Isabelle cheeks turned red and stammered,as she grabbed a strand of her hair and started playing with it  .
Philip smiled at the memory and  without this movement he would not have discovered the truth of what happened and that she is stuck in another world ، And his sense of guilt increased ، he get off the sofa and And request permission to leave  .

Isabelle looked at him, surprised She did not understand why he acted like this and moved away from her,  he was always chasing her despite her repelling him  .
So she got up and caught up with him and grabbed his arm before he got away any further .
"What's going on Philip, why are you running away?" She asked insistently.

"I don't deserve to be with you, maybe you were right to refus me , I should have understood this sooner" He answered and refused to look at her
" What are you talking about,You helped me get back here" ,
"I didn't do anything, I couldn't know that girl wasn't you until it was too late" Philip answered,  Bitterness and remorse were evident in his voice.

Isabelle stood in front of Philip and  held his face in her hands, And looked at him ،
"what happened has happened , and you knew in the end she's not me, if it wasn't for what you did, I'd still be stuck there ، So don't blame yourself ".
Philip looked at her and smiled, he's always fallen in love with that smile , But she is right, what happened has happened, and he must make sure to compensate and protect her forever.

"I think you're right" he whisper
Isabelle realized that she was still holding his face, so she let go and looked away.
He caressed her cheek, Which made her look at him shyly, their eyes said a lot of things they were hiding about love, Which encouraged Philip to  leaning down And kisses her ، She closed her eyes and enjoyed in the kiss and kissed him back
It was a quiet kiss ، But it turned into a  passionate kiss , And showed them how much they are Missing each other.

Isabelle put her hands  on his chest and pushed him to walk backwards until he hit in the edge of the bed, And they Fell on it .
Isabelle fell over Philip who stroked her hair  and whispered
"Are you sure you want this? " .
"Yes, shut up and take off your shirt,Before I change my mind"  Isabelle replied, getting up from him and sitting on the bed, trying to untie the threads that bind her nightgown from front .
Philip took off his shoes and his shirt and threw it away and approached her, since she had given him permission, he don't need someone  to tell him what to do.
