Broken Souls

Breaking of walls

The Izna Daily

Our royal couple is off to the south on a long vacation. I will be collaborating with our southern correspondence for their news while they are there. After all the disasters they have been through nobody deserves a peaceful vacation more than Hilal & Leon. I hope this journey in the south brings lots of romance to their relationship. But we just hope this vacation is due to they both want to refresh their minds and not due to a conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as we have been previously heard.

It's so warm and cosy here. But why is it so warm and cosy all of a sudden? Hilal tried to make out of the condition she is in. Then she remembered last night. How she was scared of the thunder and how Leon tried to comfort her. In the end, she ended up in his embrace and then cuddled with him to get some peace during the storm. But somehow during the night that innocent cuddle turned into something more and now Hilal found herself practically all over Leon. Her head is laying on his chest and his arms are holding her quite snugly to him. Their legs were also all tangled up with each other. Blushing profusely Hilal slowly peaked out to see if Leon is asleep or not and thanked God a thousand times when she saw Leon was sleeping quite peacefully.

She then very carefully untangled herself from Leon and thanked God a thousand times more when he didn't wake up. After a while, Leon woke up and saw Hilal in front of the dressing table.

"Good Morning, Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, did you?" Hilal said to Leon while blushing a little. 

"I had the best sleep in my life last night I think. South really suits me," Leon said to Hilal with a wink and making her blush more.

A week passed by peacefully in the south. Leon always wondered what it would be like to live as normal people. Walking along the street as he wishes and spending his time wherever he wishes. Thanks to this vacation in the south he has a little taste of that. Hilal was not kidding when she said people really don't care about the family status here. They spent quite a lot of time outside visiting several places together and only a few people came up to them to talk. And those are also people who already know Hilal somehow. 

This afternoon they were spending their time on the beach. The south was famous for its sea and beaches and he always wanted to visit here. Now sitting on a mat over the sand and looking towards the ocean waves he felt so tranquil. He always feared if he was gonna miss the hectic celebrity type life of the North if he could ever get away from all that. But now he knew that he wouldn't miss it one beat. This quiet life has its own charm. 

They both brought books to read at the beach and Hilal fell asleep beside him while reading. Leon looked at the sleeping Hilal and smiled gently. When he first saw her, he was enchanted and curious. She was a challenge and mission set by his father. Then somewhere along the way things changed. At first, he was so confused over his feelings because everything he was feeling with her was something new. Admiration, protectiveness, jealousy all those feelings were new to him. He can't deny himself that he vehemently fought to accept his feelings but every day he spent with her those feelings grew and grew and now he can't deny himself anymore.

A loose strand of her golden hair was on her face. Leon tenderly brushed it away with his hand. Then he gently caressed Hilal's cheek to wake her up. Hilal slowly opened her eyes and when she saw Leon her face automatically lit up with a smile. Leon adored this moment cause this is when she is without her inhibition to him. He can see it in her eyes the moment reality set in her and she tried to hide her smile.
