Rose Of The World

Chapter 5

Jonathan puts my left hand on his right shoulder and takes my right hand with his left before putting his right hand on my waist. We start a slow waltz.

"Prince Jonathan. Pleasure to meet you. Its nice to know the guy who went to the Black City with Alanna." I say, hinting that I know Alannas true identity. He looks at me shocked.

"You- you know her real identity. Did she tell you?"

"No. My magic permits me to see the genders of everyone. Its blue for boys and green for girls."

"Ah. Okay. Say. Do you know the tango?"

"I was born in it."

"Good because lets just say things are about get heated." Jonathan says winking at me. I chuckle and let him lead me into a tango.

As we do the tango we speak about Alanna and her duties, swordsmanship extra.

"Say Rose? Will you follow me? I want to show you something I've never shown anyone."

"Of course Jon." I say and he grabs my hand leading me out of the room and onto a spiral of stairs going upwards. As we get to a door he pulls out a very small silver key and inserts it into a big lock. It clicks open and Jon holds the door open for me.

"My lady?"

"Thank you kind sir." I say giggling slightly.

I walk in and a fresh breeze welcomes me. I take a deep breath and sigh happily.

"The night is so beautiful tonight Jon. Thank you for showing me this." I say turning to him smiling gratefully before turning back and running around Jons secret garden, smelling the roses. I can hear the music even from here. Its a slow dance song. I smile sway slightly. Its a night for lovers. All of a sudden someone pulls me onto their chest and I panic a little before smelling Jons strong cologne and I relax into his arms swaying to the music.

"Jon! What are you doing here?!" A deep voice yells as the person is jogging towards us.

"And who the hell is SHE?" He says.

Jonathan lets me go but holds my hand and turns, me with him.

"Oh. Uncle Roger! This is the queen of Majesta, Queen Rose 'an Carolyn the Temptress. She is the most wanted girl in the seven kingdoms hence the name Temptress. Rose is the most talented sorceress besides you and the undeafeted swordswoman and in handcombat. Rose, this is my uncle Duke Roger the most talented sorcerer ever to exist alongside you." Jon says with pride clear in his voice.

"Shit. So sorry my lady. I couldn't recognise you there." Duke Roger says bowing deeply before kissing my hand as I curtisy. His lips linger 3 seconds to long.

"Its okay Duke Roger. And please. Call me Rose." I say taking my hand away.

"Then Rose. Call me Roger."

"Okay."

"Jon?" Roger says.

"Yeah?"

"Can you wait out in the corridor? I wish to speak to the queen alone." Roger asks.

"Sure uncle. If its okay with Rose?" Jon says I nod. And he leaves my hand and he goes out the door, me missing him already and wanting his warm hand in mine. I shiver slightly. Roger then turns back to me. Adoration, love and lust in his eyes. His bulge pressing against his pants. I freeze. Dang. Shit has hit the fan.
