Nessy wanted to sleep in my room that night and I let her. I think she is more frightened of the curse than I should be. I don't feel scared. Not yet at least. I think the news needs time to marinade first.
The next day went by like any other. Nessy decided to stay in the castle for a while just until the due date is reached.
You know until the time that my spirit can literally be pulled from my body and be placed in another, has passed. I wonder if I will still be me inside them and, if they could like explode as I already have 2 thirds of a soul and they are half that is like 1.16666666667 souls in one body, wow my brain hurts. And then he meets his soulmate but there is no place for her so he will be lonely all his life. That is so sad. Why am I empathizing with something or someone that wants to destroy me? There is seriously something wrong with me
It is nice having my sister here I just wish she did not have to hang her calendar on her bedroom door, redlining as the days approach. Why not make it obvious? Drikust had been hanging around the castle a lot. I think dad has posted the guys around here as he mentioned he would. I just did not think they would be under our noses the entire time.
Anthonieos and I have been getting very much acquainted with each other. I told you that I knew all the dark spots in the castle to hide. Let's just say he knows a few of them two now.
His soft lips know more than just my cheeks. Tomorrow night is the festival and I have already decided what I want to wear. It is very seldom that we actually get to dress up like princesses. Within a budget though. The fun thing about it is that everyone does. It is a grand occasion where everyone gets to dress like royalty. My sister and I even get to judge the best dress contest amongst the junior elves. I have always had an eye for fashion, the only problem is that not many people share my view on what is beautiful.
I have my soft princessy side but underneath I am quite the rebel. Even when wearing my favorite purple and white cloak it always gets dressed up in my boots. For this occasion, I find buying material and making my own dress gives me much more flexibility with my budget.
My sister will undoubtedly buy something made by Pixies, covered in sparkles, and then borrow some of mom's shoes because she just passed the budget set up by dad. She will undoubtedly use her own money on makeup, or perhaps get the modeling agency to do hers again.
No thank you! I am good with dark eyeliner to bring out my pretty grey eyes. As if they need bringing out. They already cover a third of my face, lol. Some blue mascara always helps.
I really have no idea how Nessy does those stick-on eyelash things, they are terribly uncomfortable.
Some red lips or purple depending on what color I decide on for my dress. I was thinking red or like a deep purple two-piece.
If you have it, flaunt it, but in a sophisticated way of course. I do not want my mom to bow her head in shame. I might even polish my leather lace-ups to go with it.
The top part will have long sleeves hanging loosely on my side. The top itself will stop about two fingers above my belly. From there it has a drop-down to my waist made from black fishnets, with a split in front.
I'd like to do some embroidery on the ends of the sleeves in black and maybe a slit in the skirt showing some black material underneath. I have been working on this for a while but with the festival of stars being tomorrow night it does not give me the time I need to do all this. Well maybe if I go to the material shop now. Maybe if I ask a certain handsome man to take me. He might just ask me to accompany him. Then the race is over, and I win.
It's been so hard dealing with all our family's drama lately that this might be fun. Shut myself off from reality for a night. I am not scared about this reaper story. No one knows I have the curse and because of this, no one is coming for me.
I walk down the corridor and see Drikust talking to Nessy. They seem rather comfortable in each other's company. She always did have a thing for the odd. She loves me for one and according to many, I am pretty much as odd as it gets.
I decide to leave in the opposite direction as to not disturb them. If something happens there it might soften the blow she is about to get. I can only imagine her face when she realizes, she lost, and to me of all people. This never happens.
I look to the floor with a smirk on my face just thinking about it, when all of a sudden, I bump my head into something hard. It's him, again!
Anthonieos: "You are making a habit out of this. You should really look where you are going."
"Well, maybe your biceps have a magnetic pull towards me."
Anthonieos: "Maybe it is more than just my biceps, are you headed out?"
"As a matter a fact I am. I need to get the last pieces of material for my dress tomorrow evening. Care to join me?"
Anthony: "Maybe but where two, the material shop or the festival?"
"As if I would ever ask a man on a date with suiters coming from all over the planet falling at my feet begging me to go with them. I need you to take me to the shop. I might just be ambushed by the hordes at the door. If you haven't realized it yet I am quite a hot commodity around here."
Anthony: "Well we best not keep them waiting to behold you. How dare we be so rude. If all they want is to witness your presence. You should maybe stop hiding with the pets all the time. It is extremely rude of you to keep such beauty all for yourself. Sharing is caring you know.
He looks at me in the eyes staring me down as if he still wants to say something but is too shy to do so. I think I know what it is, I think you do too.
Anthony: "I will tell my biceps to back off if that is what you want. If you rather want to spend some time with one of these as you call them, suiters."
He actually seems sincerely sad.
"I am quite happy with being your princess. Who else would be able to intimidate them as much? You know they only want me because they can't have me. It is a male ego thing. As soon as you leave me, they might go after Nessy again.
Anthony: "So let's act like we broke up. Then at least they will leave you alone and you can be all mine for once."
"I did not know you could break up if you are not dating."
Anthony: "Then best be correct that instantly, if only to fake break up."
Anthony bowed down to one knee, his over jacket touching the castle floor, he looks up to me with his pup eyes as if lost in love.
Anthony: "Will you Casoritania Jouberten be my date to the festival of stars and every day thereafter. Will you be my girl? I would marry you in 2.5 seconds you know that. This is not a proposal. Not yet at least. I would need to talk to your dad first, but this is me promising to love you forever. If you will have me?
I am speechless. For once in my life. I only nod my head yes and he gets up, picks me up from the ground, and hugs me so hard it hurts.
Oh, my word!
Just look at that Nessy and Drikust is standing behind me applauding us.
Nessy looks at me nods her head and walks closer.
Nessy whispering in my pointy ears: "You did it. You won. Congratulations!"
She turns around and grabs Dirk as she calls him into a kiss he never expected. I honestly thought he was going to faint. I literally saw his ears turning red. That must be a human thing because I have never seen an elf's ears changing color. Eyes yes mine and hers but ears, never!
It is official he is mine and I am his. The Lepidoptera I thought I had in my belly just multiplied, no triplefied I have no idea if that is the correct way of saying it, but they are certainly a lot more than they were.
