Knight in Shining Armour

For a Change !!

Chapter - 10

Amber was sitting alone in the garden, with her head down and blankly staring at the grass. Castor tried to approach her but got no excuse and suddenly saw a servant going towards her with tea, he stopped him and took the tray. He got the excuse to talk to her.

"Someone is looking upset. What happened?", he asked with a concerned tone but got no reaction. He again tries, "Hmm...it's rare for someone to look beautiful even while being ideal", but this time too she didn't reply and turned away. He stands and sits in front of her, "Why don't you have some tea, maybe your mood gets better". She denied his offer and told him to go as she needed to be alone.

"You can tell me if something is bothering you. Something about work or.... Ray?" She looked up and he saw her moist eyes.

"I think Prince Ray doesn't like me anymore", she said with a sad tone, he asked her if they fought over something. She told him that she felt that Prince Ray was getting away from her.

"What makes you think so?"

"I took him to show my new jewellery as usual but this time he was changed"

"How?"

"Earlier when I show him designs he barely showed any interest but today he was especially showing interest in one kind of jewellery"

"Isn't that good? He shows interest in your designs"

"But the designs he was interested in were all related to dinosaurs!", she cried. He was speechless as now he couldn't even console her nor did he know about his brother's changed behaviour. "It's all Sera's fault! Affecting my brother's mind", thought Castor and assured Amber that he would find some way to help her. At night, Ray and Sera come back to the palace and go back to their rooms, In between Castor comes to her and tells her that he needs to talk to her regarding something.

"Can we talk tomorrow? Today I'm in a great mood, I don't want to get spoiled"

"What do you mean by spoil? And what I want to discuss is not only for me but also for you"

"For me? You are thinking about me? Strange"

"I just think about my brother's changed behaviour"

"Then go and talk to him"

"You know what Amber told me today? She told me that my brother took an interest in jewellery designs.."

"So what? Can't he change his taste for a while ?"

"Do you know what designs he was interested in? Dinosaurs! Now you get it, what do I mean?"

"Yes, that shows his taste is getting better"

"No! That means he is getting into you!"

"What!", she laughed and said, "I think you didn't take your medicines yet"

"I'm not kidding. Can't you see he is following you everywhere and then he takes care of you and takes you to Earth-0.2?"

"So what? Can't we normally go there?"

"That planet is not supposed to be exposed, especially to earthlings but he broke that rule just for you. Can't you see this?"

"That is only for his powers. He wants to keep me safe and send me back safely. Got it! Now go, I need to sleep" and she left.

"I will show you that things are not that simple", muttered Castor and left from there. Sera's sleep is already gone because of his words as her feelings are not stable to one emotion. She feels happy that he takes care of her, then gets sad thinking that all this is just for the next 4 days and then she will go back. Thoughts were hindering her mind and couldn't let her sleep, she got up and came into the garden to walk. She was sitting under the tree and suddenly saw Ray going somewhere. She followed him and saw him talking to his Left-Right guards. She went close to hear.
