Chapter- 4
"If I am here then what will happen on earth, like a human is not supposed to disappear suddenly and my family will be so tensed if they didn't find me.", flora realized with a tense expression all over her face. "Don't worry about that because the time you spend in the galaxy as in return the time of earth will be stopped which means no one will get to know about your absence or presence and whenever you get back to earth, the time will be continued from the moment you disappeared.", replied chief to ease her tension. "You should have told me earlier about it. Now am relieved and all ready to take action.", she replied. "There are two conditions for this mission that you need to keep in mind: firstly, you can't let the kings know about this mission, and secondly, most important you cant fall in love with any person of the galaxies and especially the kings.", explained the chief. "Gosh!! You surprised me. Why would I fall in love here? I mean there are enough humans on earth so why would I need an alien.", replied Flora in a surprised reaction as it was something very unexpected for her. Chief responds that it was his duty to warn you so that in future you won't suffer. Soon their talks finish and now Flora is back in the room of the royal aircraft. At that moment, she patiently waited to reach the bright galaxy and begins to think about how to solve her mission. After an hour, someone opened the door and greeted her, "your highness, we are landed in a bright galaxy. King Leo ordered you to come out". She followed the soldier. Leo looked at her and said, "I hope you get your thoughts together after spending some alone time in the room." "And I hope you only speak when it's required. Thank you.", countered Flora, annoying him but he manage to hold as the gate of aircraft opens and they both get down. "Welcome greetings to King Leo and Your Highness to Bright planet ...", everyone cheered. A man wearing a suit looking like a sort of butler comes forward and greeted Flora and introduced himself as Mr. John, the main assistant of King Leo. They entered the royal palace and it was just magical for flora as it was something which is shown in fairytales, she can't believe her eyes and her face is full of enchanted expressions. Such a big lawn and servants all over bowing to the king and the magnificent palace which can't be seen fully in just one glance and all of that under the peachy sky making it more heavenly. For once she thought "Am I dead and being escorted to heaven?". To which King Leo said softly, "Relaxed you are not dead yet". She looked at him and he smirked at her. They both get into the palace."I have some work to do so Mr. John will help you to be familiar with the palace and if you need anything ask him. No need to disturb me.", said King Leo and walked away. Flora murmured, "What an ill-mannered person he is". "Did you say something, highness?", asked Mr. John."No, no. Actually yes I have a question. You might be very close to king Leo and he might respect you as well.", questioned Flora. "And what made you think so, highness", asked Mr. John. "Isn't he use Mr. before your name?", said Flora."Highness, actually that's my name. Mr. is not a title but my name is Mr. John.", cleared Mr. John."Oh, I see. I might doubt for a second about the manners of King Leo..", replied Flora with a playful smile.Mr. John guided her to the main rest area of the palace, the kitchen and dining area, the garden, and the terrace which has a big swimming pool. All these things were unreal to her as she only saw them in movies. He then escorts her to her room. It was a big room with a queen-sized bed and a sofa, there was an attached washroom with a big bathtub and a cupboard full of necessities. There was a study table under the window. "May I ask how many people will share the room with me?", questioned amazed Flora as on earth the room she shared with Riya was ⅓ of this giant room. Mr. John replied "No one dares to step in this room even in your absence highness let alone share it. You are the great Highness, the ruler of the Andromeda galaxy and this is how you are supposed to be treated." these words make flora more excited and satisfied as till now there is someone who is treating her well. She was looking around, Mr. John asked her to freshen up meanwhile he arranged some food for her and leaves. As soon as he leaves Flora started to jump on the bed and dance all over the room as she was full of excitement. She lay on her bed and said "My god! If this is a dream then I will kill the person who tries to wake me. I just want to live in this a little more after all such things don't happen every day." she takes a bath and comes out in bath towel and was about to wear her clothes and suddenly someone knocks on her door " highness, can I come in? I brought you some new clothes to wear", said a lady from outside. Flora opened the door and a middle-aged lady with some female servants greets her and gives her new clothes to wear. Flora gets changed into her new clothes which was like a western dress that people wore on earth but with a royal touch to it. She thought "This dress is quite elegant to wear just like that without any special occasion. But then I guess it's the way rich people live." The lady asked her if she liked the dress to which Flora nodded with a smile. Then the servants escort her to the dining area where King Leo was already waiting for her. She sits and everyone was looking at her. She was getting a little confused and thought "I know I am beautiful but still this much attention is way too much. Maybe they saw an earthling first time in their life." "Arnt you going to greet me?", said king leo while adjusting his cutleries."Didn't you tell me not to disturb you and now you want greetings? Okay then. Hello!", shoot Flora while imitating him.He is annoyed and breathes to control his anger and asked her "It's better if you keep quiet." Flora quickly nodded her head showing her consent.Now the table is set and Mr. John order to serve the food. One by one servants serve the food and from starters to dessert, the table is full of a variety of food which amazed the flora. Servants starts to serve the food on their plates and Leo started to eat. Flora was a little hesitant as she don't even know what this food is made up of. So she asked Mr. John "Can I know what is this food made up of. I mean I just want to know whether it is veg or non-veg because I am a vegetarian so...". Before Mr. John can respond, King Leo breaks in and said "Just eat it. All this food is veg and made of plants we grow on our planet." "Okay then", she started to eat as she was really hungry. They finished their food and last, for dessert there was a cake piece for them. She took a bite and the flavours just took her to another world. With a cute face she asked for one more piece and who can deny her? When they get full she took his hands, he looked at her with amazement as it was the first time someone ever pulled him like this. She drag him to the living area and he shook her hand and sits on the sofa. She sits next to him to which he gets up and said "Sit somewhere else." Flora gets up and sits in front of him and replied "Listen I don't know how much time I need to spend here with you on this planet so I think it's better to know each other. Hello myself Flora." she moved her hand forward for handshake. He looked at her and was about to shake hands but suddenly Flora started to feel uneasy and hard to breathe. She keeps her hand on her chest as if she can't breathe. Leo quickly gets up and holds her. He asked her "What happened? Are you okay? "She can't speak properly because of her breathing. He checked her nerves and it seems dropping. " did you eat something wrong? Ar-are you allergic to something?", questioned King Leo. She nodded her head. He called all the servants and ask them what are the ingredients of today's dishes. To which the main chef replied, "K-king today we made everything out of organic vegetables and the cake with royal peanuts." "Pea-peanuts...It's peanuts...", responded Flora and she fainted.
