The Enchantress

66.

Princess Mina.

I woke up feeling refreshed. I stood and went to the table to comb my hair. I went to the bathroom and smiled as my bath is ready. I stripped my clothes and went in the tub. Tomorrow, we'll be heading home. This place has lots of memories but mostly happy ones.

Then suddenly I remember last night. His face appeared in my mind's eye. He's getting closer and closer til he touched my lips with his. I could feel the same sensation it brought last night.

He kissed me. His kiss made me feel something new to me and that scared me prompting me to ran. And he also said he love me... Uggh! The warm uneasy shock spread through my body.

I quickly shut my eyes and shook my head trying to shake him on my mind. I looked at the mirror shocked to see how red I was.

I put my face in my hands... How could I ever face him? Should I skip breakfast? No, I can't. The King would wonder specially now that it's our last day here.

I gave a deep sigh, knowing I don't have a choice but to face him.

At breakfast...

He arrived last and there's something different on the way he greeted me. I think, based on how his brothers reacted, they have caught on to it as well.

I felt stupid how my voice was when I greeted him back. Ugghh Mina! What's with you!? I feel so embarrassed that I'm sure my face is red by now.

The King wanted to host a feast tonight which is so unexpected. I am not usually fond of feast, parties... The introvert me just want to stay all day and night inside my room with a good book to read.

But it's the King who wanted it to express their thanks to Chaeyoung and his brothers. So we have no choice though Momo seems to loving it.

The King sent a tailor to my room. Like what he said, she's really kind. She listened to my suggestions to incorporate the two dresses I chose and she enthusiastically do it. She even love it specially seeing the outcome. She even said I have an eye for design which is a dream for any tailor to work with.

Another team came to help me with the preparations. Then the tailor helped me dress up.

After everything that needs to be done, the staff and the tailor gasped as they looked at me. It made me curious so I walked towards the full length mirror.

I was surprised how great the dress looked. How it perfectly molds on my body and how light it felt. I smiled seeing my reflection which made the staff smile.

"Princess, why don't you give it a twirl." The tailor said.

I twirled and was stunned on how the fabric easily moves along with me. The tailor clapped as she saw me smiling. She even started to tear up. She apologized saying that it's been a while since she made a wonderful dress and have her creation worn by a beautiful and kind princess.

She's so thankful that she insisted for me to bring the remaining 6 dresses back home.

I was on my way to the party. I followed what the tailor said it's better to go there later.

When the royal guards opened the door to the banquet hall, the whole crowd stopped and looked at my direction.

Oh no. This is not what I want. So this is why the tailor want me to go a little later, so everyone could notice me. Why didn't I think of that.

The crowd were all staring at me but all smiling then they all bowed. When they bowed, I could now clearly see where the Princes were as well as the Kings and their Queens. Three long tables on a pedestal was located at the center and on both sides. That's were all the Kings were. King Dero was at the center table.
