Taste of ecstasy

Chapter 1

" your majesty!! " one of the servants knocks the door third time, but there was no answer from other side of the door.

" what is happening? " Isabell asked,

" your highness,.....his majesty is not answering, he has to be at the cabinet meeting before afternoon starts, he is yet to freshen up, this is the first time he is sleeping till past dawn " anxious servant said.

Isabell's brows gathered together concern risen, she replied to the servant " when did he come yesterday after the hunting? did he had any other events to attend? "

The servant nodded " yes your highness, he had dinner meet with the....(he stuttered, not sure how Isabell will take the news) ......with the prince of vallahan " (he inclined his neck down in panic)

Again, Isabell wore same expressions but now she is fierce, fierce with her mother who is keep pushing her brother to find suitable match and marry him, not like the queen has any bad intentions she just want his son to have a good partner and worthy prince who will co-rule the kingdom by her son's side.

"Did he attended the dinner?" Isabell asked sharply

" your highness, I....i...." He stuttered again, Isabell was sure her brother made sure that this news shouldn't reach her and his younger brother.

"Did he or did he not?" She took the spare keys of king's personal chember's door from her bag.

" he didn't, he asked me to buy bottle of 12 year old whiskey to gift the prince of vallahan as he couldn't attend the dinner, his majesty strictly told me not to disturb him till today dawn, he didn't eat anything, didn't visit his music chamber, he is not even out still " the servant move aside, Isabell unlocked the door.

" bring warm lemon water and 10 almonds, and prepare his bath chamber quick " if there is anyone who can boss around the king is princess Isabell.

She stormed inside the chamber and found her brother on his bed sleeping on his stomach face buried in the cushions, the room was dark, candles were burning still, she shook her head while smiling took the jar of water from the side stand and threw it on her beloved brothers resting body.

" by the angel!!!! Who the hell.........." He woke up yelling loudly. But immediately stopped when he saw her with the jar in her hand.

" language brother! " she kept the jar back in the place when the king annoyingly got off the bed, hairs messy, his night robe is open, his walk is unsteady.

" you need to learn not to invade your elder brother's privacy isa " he knocked in her head and kissed her forehead. She kissed him back on his cheeks.

" the whole palace is worried, their only beloved king is not graced the courtroom yet and besides, you have a meeting early afternoon, did you forget? "

" i didn't forget anything, I couldn't sleep last night, the whole night,.....why are you here anyway? " Alexander gulped the warm lemon water which the servant left in the side table. It is his daily morning routine to take a glass of warm lemon water and some almonds. Alec's day to day rituals were pretty unusual but only because of them he is the great warrior in 12 continents.

" forget about it, tell how was your dinner yesterday? I heard you accompanied someone special? " she is testing her brother, wanting to know if he can be honest with her?

" prince of Vallahan, same brat as usual, only interested in my treasury, consuming only designer food and to wear? Thinnest fabric he can find to seduce me? I mean me?? People take me lightly sometimes" he rolled his eyes and threw 2 almonds at Isabell who caught them and started to chew he continued "though I didn't meet the gentleman, I came straight in my chamber, so now you have your information please tell me sister why are you here? "

Isabell had a concern on her face she went near her brother put her hand on his shoulder " you will find the soul binding love Alec, you deserve all the happiness in the world, you don't need to marry anyone out of duty alright? Ignore mother, focus on what you want "

He smiled lightly knowingly it is so overwhelming sometimes how much love he gets from people around him from his kingdom but still he is chasing the one can contain his heart consume him in a way no one will able to take it away from him, " it's already been 5 years isa since i taken over the throne, according to royal coronation law i should have been married within a year, i should marry someone really soon. Already chances are rare of me giving heir to the throne, this? All of this is just....." , he couldn't talk more now whenever this topic is out.

Isabell sighed defeated, Alec? Alec's thought were automatically went in the forest the pond, the golden skinned man, his delicious thighs, and god the mole above his eyes, that man was 100% Alec's type where he never found all of these qualities in one person and the hut, swans floating in the small pond, birds chirping, and the passion fruit, sandalwood smell, he closed his eyes, smile appeared on his face.
