Romancing An Era

Part 7

We took every luxurious clothes from the shop and me constantly reminding him to keep everything in budget, I just can't get my mind wrapped around how he got so much money. He seems like a theif to me judging on how muscular he is it won't surprise me if he has killed someone for money. I hate to say this but I like these types of guys who have cute innocent looking face with muscular bodies - perfect description for him.

I was wandering in my own thoughts when I hear Alonzo calling my name from front
" Are you gonna come or not?"

" Ofc I will when did I said no ?"
We moved forward as Alonzo paid bill to shopkeeper. We got out from the busy road.

" Alonzo, are you sure the queen is gonna like these clothes or hell if she even allows us to stay at  the palace"I questioned.

" Don't worry even if clothes will not work my charming smile will" he said smiling sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at him. Though he was not lying entirely.

From walking two miles finally we saw a big palace , it's just look like the one I have seen in my fictional books that I was reading. But it's more beautiful in real it seem , the tower is kissing the blue clear sky and the the Ruby at the top of the lion's head is watching and securing the whole country. It's magnificent.

We were stopped by gatekeepers.
" Hey!! Where do you think you two are going?" One of the buff looking and moustache guard said.

" We are here to show queen some of the clothes which we have brought from persia."

Both guards looked at each other in amazement. I kicked him in the foot and he squeaked looking at me in confusion.

" These are from local streets, why are you lying?"

" Maybe if that friend of your had given more scents to you than maybe we would have bought from persia " he said sarcastically. I glared at him in annoyance.

" So are we allowed or not ?" Alonzo asked the guard nonchalantly.

" Of course, our queen will be very happy "
They opened the door and great long hallway came in front of us . He guided us to the courts room where the king and queen are sitting and having discussion.

" Guard who are these people? " king asked.

"  Your honour, they are from persia and has brought some clothes to show "
Queen suddenly stood up and her brown big eyes were filled with happiness.

" Yes we want them " she spoke in happines.

" Haha , ok then so sweetheart so you see the clothes I am actually going for military meeting " he stood up and we bowed to him while he exit from the big door.

" Ok gentlemen! What you have for me " she looked curiously at the piles of clothes that I was arranging.

" Yes my queen , sure ." He turned to me and said " come on show our best piece of clothes to queen " he said assertively and I glared at him and was about to yell but he pleaded with his eyes as want to play along with him. I nodded annoyed.

" Why her young man ? You seems to have good choice , I want everything from your own hands only " she said in a husky and flirty voice. I groaned silently and stood up and motioned my hands for him to take the lead. I just looked at them flirting with each other. I don't know why the hell I was feeling annoyed and jealous no I am not jelaous or something I am just shocked to see how cheap that queen can act, I mean seriously flirting with a damm trader.

" Girl!! If your are done standing here pick up these messes " she shouted at me and I bowed to her while I continued to pick up the pile of clothes from the floor.

" And you gentlemen please help me to pull up the chain" she pouted , innocently looking at him. He got behind her back and helped her through while I stared disgusted.

My eyes mets his and he shifted her hair to one side exposing her neck and keeping an direct cold eye contact with me as he is doing this to annoy me even more. I looked away and did my work and he did his work quickly and packed the things she has purchased.

" Aww, see how fast time gone with you Alonzo" she grazed her finger on his arms .

" It was quite an honour ma'am that you like our clothes but I have to make one request actually"

" Anything for you"

" We actually wanted to stay here for a few days as our nation minister will come at the recent festival and then we will go "

" Of course you can stay" she looked at me disgusted " and you too , young and handsome men's needs a maid who can do their chore"

I silently cursed her .
" Come I will guide both of you to the guest room" she said and we followed her from behind

" See, it was not that hard all you need is a sharp brain and beautiful face and you are fortunate I have both of these" he smiled at me. Only I know how I managed myself to not punch him on the his stupid face.

He closed the door from behind. And came in front of me " so are you not gonna thank me for today"

" Oh yes majesty! How can I forget your favour I need to thank you in some way " I looked innocently up at him and crossed both my arm on his shoulder. He couldn't meet my eyes and I can see a tint pink blush on his cheeks.

" L-lisa i ...... " I putted my fingers on his lips before he can say something else .

" You have done such a good work today, flirting like a whore with queen, treating me like your slave , bringing me here as your servant how can I not thank you ENOUGH!" i kicked him with my knee between his legs. He fell on ground and groaned in pain.

" L-lisa how can you do this?"

" Just the way you did earlier " I dropped myself on the sofa and began eating apple that was kept in front of me.

He stood up " yeah yeah, but you could never do this without me" he said pointing his finger at me.

" And .."he took apple from me and took a bite of it " I am the boss and your are my slave from now on" he walked towards the door while I yelled at him " that's never gonna happen "

" That was queen order" he yelled back while I punched in the air . God he is annoying!!!!
