Princess and I

13: Digging the Past

Xete's POV

"Don't sneak up on me!" I said as I was giggling so hard. I missed this, waking up in the morning and seeing her beautiful face even though we didn't sleep together. I didn't quite understand the whole blushing thing as my cheeks always turn red with no apparent reason but why do they feel so warm right now.

"I'm not sneaking on you.. I'm just here to say that I'm doing your dare. See you later." She kissed me on the cheek and left.

"Am I dreaming?" I asked myself while smiling. Then I remembered that we were going to see that girl. Why did I even choose that dare.. I could have just asked her to marry me.

I heard knocking on my door.

"Come in," I said.

"My lady, the Princess is waiting for you at the stable," Iag said while Nëy stood beside her.

"Tell her I'll be there in a minute and Nëy can you stay for a minute."

They both look at each other and nodded. Iag left and Nëy stayed.

"Nëy, Ive heard that you're good on making people pretty. Is that true?" I smiled.

"Kind of. Why my lady?" She said shyly and curiously.

"You see, we're going to meet someone and I want to look good," I smiled at her and continued, "So, can you do it?"

"I'll try but aren't you in a hurry?" she asked politely.

I smiled at her and sat on the chair that is in front of the mirror. I wore a simple and slim gown that she has chosen for me that will compliment my hair and make up. She removed the elastic from my hair and my hair fell down like waves. She started to braid it and put a clothe in it. I didn't quite understand it at first but at the end, it was really beautiful with the floral clothe that looked like a head band but it was inside the braid instead. It took us 15 minutes to do it all. But I must say, it was simple and yet so elegant.

"May I ask something?"

"Of course Nëy after all of this. What is it?" I said.

"Why do you need to look extra gorgeous for today? No lies." She asked curiously.

"Aha. No lies, okay. Just please, can you keep this between us? I like Sena, like you know, and we are going to see this girl that she likes, I think. I just don't want her to look more beautiful than me. Do you understand? Or am I just mumbling."

"Oh, so you're worrying that she might look more elegant than you and you'll get jealous if Princess Sena started to stare at her more than you?" She giggled.

"I know, its lame," I admitted.

"No, its not. She'll fall for you. No one can resist this beauty," she smiled proudly.

Iag knocked and asked, "My lady, the Princess has been waiting for you for 15 minutes, she's wondering if you'll need more time."

"No, Im done. Im coming there now."

I opened the door, and saw Iag's mouth open and said, "Is she real?"

"She is," Nëy smirked and suddenly smacked Iag.

I was dying. It was working.

I walked to the stables, anxious if she approves of it or not. Then I started sweating and kept telling myself that I can't sweat now.

"Introducing!" Iag shouted.

Sena turned around and immediately laid her eyes on me. My heart stopped and I looked at Iag and raised my eyebrow. She smiled at me and mouthed her sorry.
