ARAGU

Quest

Xaeron opened her eyes and noticed that everything was familiar. She felt something heavy on her stomach and realized what happened last night.

She heard a very cute snore, it was from the Princess. She turned her head and saw the Princess' angelic face.

She smiled, she even caressed the soft silky hair out of the Princess' face. She stared at her then realized they were out for too long. The King might get worried sick.

She slowly moved, but the Princess moved her body closer to hers. Xaeron stiffened, no one's ever been this close to her before. Till Princess Frea

Princess Frea murmured though Xaeron can't understand her, she felt her body relaxed once again.

She couldn't believe that she let someone saw her in her weak state. And it was Princess Frea herself.

This time she slowly and gently moved out from the bed. She let out sigh of relief when she didn't wake up the Princess.

She walked out of the room, then proceed towards the living room. Then suddenly a knock was heard from the front door.

Xaeron walked towards it and opened the door, only to be surprised to see Trek standing there.

"Good morning Xaeron. The King wants your presence in the castle right now." Trek said with a smile.

Xaeron only nodded and she felt someone was standing behind there.

She saw Trek's reaction, "Oh, good morning too Princess Frea." Trek bowed.

"Good morning too." The Princess greeted back. Xaeron ignored both of them, "How did you know I was here?"

Trek felt a little nervous. "I...the King told me so, I didn't knew the Princess was here...too." Trek explained.

"Tss. I'll be there." Trek nodded and went back to the castle.

"What was that about?" Princess Frea asked.

"Let's go back and find out." Xaeron said, and she remembered last night.

"About last night..." The Princess cut her off.

"It's alright. Your secret is safe with me." Princess Frea smiled at her.

Xaeron just nodded instead of smiling.

*****

When they were at the City, the citizens were starting to fix their houses, stores and in any establishments.

The soldiers were scattered all around the City too. To give help and to guard the City as well.

Too many greetings here and there were heard too for the Princess and the Master of Fire.

They earned a lot of stares too. It's not because they were wandering the City this early, but because they were together with just one horse.

The Princess giggled. "What's so funny?" Xaeron asked.

"Nothing." Xaeron just hissed.

"Do you want me to unmount the horse and just walk?" Princess Frea held on to Xaeron's hand.

"Don't you dare. Besides, I like to be near you." The Princess said, until noticed what she just said.

Xaeron smirked, more like grinning. "Really huh?" Princess Frea just blushed.

"I mean..."

"Too late Princess. Can't take back what you said." Princess Frea just slapped Xaeron's hand in a playful way.
