My Way to Get To You (MxM)

Chapter 6

The sun seems not friendly at all today. It feels really hot like hell comes down to earth, the heat take all my strength remains. I'm still too tired from the parade, then there's other things with the prince's held that won't let me go until morning. I really wants to sleep, my head feel so light, my body feel so weak, I can feel my lips getting colder and my sight get blurrier.

"You gotta rest" said Easton "This place is near your house, get rest there, I'm gonna continue to inspect this area. You don't look very good."

"It's Ok, beside, what will I say to the troops ? That i'm their commander want to lying around in his house ? I can't make that impression that i'm not disciplines myself."

"They're gonna understand once they saw your face. You look so pale !"

"Don't you believe my strength ? Come on, I'm one of the best soldier here, this kind of situation I can handle it."

And I made it, I can continue my duty and manage to get back to the palace to report my inspection.

But, my body finally has it's limit, by the time I entering the palace's gate, I feel too weak to even sit in my horse, my head feels so heavy, my vision blurred really bad, next thing I know, I'm lying down in the ground, many people around me, in my bridge of counsiousness, I saw Easton came to me looks so woried, but then he pushed away by someone.

Who is he ? Prince Shelton ? Am I so worn out that I saw his face became so pale like the cloud has ? He was chased away all the people around me, I heard he forbid the people to touch me, then carryme inside the palace. Yeah, I must be really delirious, I feel so weak I wanna close my eyes and rest in this very comfort held.

****

I wake up in my own bedroom with Easton looking at me. "Why were you never listen to me ?" He said "If something happened to you, you know I can't handle thw troops alone ! I need your help, and you need my help, isn't that what we used to do ?"

I let him say all his anger to me. I know he's upset, but I know he's so worried for me. "I'm sorry. I'm over estimated myself, turn out I really is so tired."

Easton look at me, I know his anger has disappeared.
"Next time, id I told you to rest, you rest, Ok !"

"Yes, sir !" I replied

"Princess Natalie come here earlier, she's worried about you, you're so lucky to have her as your fiancee, a lot of prince and nobleman aiming for her ! Well, as your friend and her friend, I know you'll take care of her better."

I remember again, that problem that I haven't solved, what must I do to that proposal. Easton look through my troubled face.
"Now what's with that face ? Are you hestitate to marry her ?"

"What ?" I said
"Oh, come on, I know you since 20 years ago, we struggle together, I know that look, it's your doubt look. Why are you doubting this marriage ? It's you opportunity to get a higher position, we can achieve what we're dream of."

A long silence between us
"Is it because his highness prince Shelton ?"

I shock a little, then look at him, what was he has already know about me and the prince " Busted !" He said calmly "I know something going on between you and the prince

"He is our prince, that what he is to me, as he is to you." But I can't look at Easton's eyes as I speak right now

"It's clearly different isn't it ? For me, he is our crown prince, son of the man who's save us, the strongest soldier in our army. I respect him for what he did and his achievement. But for you it's different."

Yes he is different, I have some strange feeling for him. How do I say it to Easton. This feeling is too absurd, heaven can punish me for it, but I just can't help it to feel this way.

"From that reaction of yours and his highness reaction, I know something's going on." Said Easton again

"What do you mean ?" I replied

"You always wants to achieve what he's achieve, you have a different reaction when he is around, and don't you think I don't know you always avoid prince's wedding." Easton now have that investigation look on me
"And everytime you colaps, prince Shelton always be the first to help you, he is always so worried when you fall to the ground. Although I just noticed it today, but he always has this lioness protecting its cub aura, when it happens, I can feel he's gonna kill whoever touch or help you first. He even brought you back home, and maybe if princess Natalie hadn't come, he'd be still here."

Is he ? Are those blurry vision is not only a delirious sight ? Is it really happened ?
"I think you just over guess it. He's just taking care of me for his sister."

"He said he's gonna coming back to see you later this night after he escorted princess Natalir home." Easton said as we're hearing a horse steo coming to my house
"See, it's the prince, I'll let you think about what I said, about the consequences for what we have acvieved. Now I gotta go, or else Prince Shelton's gonna kill me."

As Easton getting out of my house, I still can hearing some conversation between him and the prince, but not long after, I hear another horse step getting further away.

Prince Shelton come to my house and set some food in my table.

"Now you take longer time to awake ?" He said sarcastically

"I'm sorry for my late recovery." I replied

"Don't think too much about that, I think I might be over did it to you."

I blushed

"My father said your marriage is in 2 months, do you still wants to do it ?"
He said while sit in a big part of my bed
"Are you really gonna marry my sister ? You know she's wants something as easy as she bored at something."

"Like I said, I can't refused it. Your highness you know how the king have helped me until now. He's like a God to me, so whatever he wants me to do, I'd do it."

"So, it's caused of a debt ?" He said while some smile creeped at his beautiful lips

"I don't know, maybe some of that, and some of protecting princess's honor. I can't just refused the princess, can I ?"

Prince Shelton's smile getting bigger and clearer, but it confused me what that smile means.

"For now just have a rest, I'll be here if you need anything." He said while caressing my hair.
It feels so weird, but it's a good weird, that kind that give you sense of protection and affection, and it get me questioning, What's the meaning of it ?

Can I have a little bit of hope, or it will jist disappear when I wake up in the morning

Just please, do as rough as you did if it's just mean nothing. Don't be so nice to me, or I would have my hopes up.
Stupid Easton you make me over think it !
