Twin star exorcists Fantasy

Part 5

"H-huh?" I woke up and saw Rokuro's crimson eyes staring at me. He was fully dressed for some reason. He had a full sleeve shirt, and a woolen cape wrapped around his shoulders. His pants were white, but his black boots were knee high. His crimson shirt had little jewels sown into them. He must have noticed me staring at his clothes, so he quickly replied.

"Sorry about waking you up, but it's really cold today. It's snowing!" he had a huge grin on his face. And looked as excited as a four year old who just got a mountain of candy.

I tried to sit up straight, but mistakenly applied pressure on my broken right arm.

"AHH!"

"B-b-benio! Take it easy......" he looked worried, and reached out to support my back so that I could sit up straight.

"Thank you." I flashed him a grateful smile. I don't know if these are the words to describe this feeling in my stomach...... butterflies in my stomach? Did that mean that I am falling in love with him? "I'm sorry that I'm being a handful right now."

"It's okay really." he scratched the back of his head nervously.

A cold icy breeze came in through the window, and I shivered violently.

"Benio? Are you feeling cold?"

"Yes....." I whispered still trembling.

"Here, let me get you to the dining hall,it's warmer there." he got a woolen sweater from my closet, and helped me get into it.

"Alright, let's go!" he cheered up again and gave me his beautiful smile which melted my heart.

He slowly guided me through the huge palace, into the dining hall. He was right to call it a hall. A huge long table waited at the center. Silver plates were lined up neatly on both sides, while a golden plate rested magnificently on a slightly elevated head of the table. The red tapestried wall glowed in contrast to the blue marble floor and ceiling.

"Shall we sit?" Rokuro's voice snapped me out of my observations.

He pulled out a chair and told me to sit while the servants brought in the food.

"Um......"

"What is it?" Rokuro looked at me.

"My hand. I can't eat." I whispered weakly.

He noticed the strain in my voice.

"Get a glass of water for Benio please." he said to the nearest waitress.

"Of course your majesty." I could swear that the waitress shot me a nasty look before departing.

Rokuro stood up, and picked up my spoon, and stood behind me. He took the rice and slowly fed me.

"Say aah." And I swallowed it. After checking that I was all done, he ate his own breakfast.

I had often heard the villagers talk about how kind their prince is, but I never knew he was this kind. The forest where I lived, was full of animals who lived together as a family despite being different species. But the hunters who were usually princes, and kings, always attacked us which forced us to live in hiding.

"Benio?" Rokuro stared at me.

"Huh?"

"Let's go!" he dragged me by the hand.

"Where?"

"The place where we met. But you need to change out of your night gown."

I chose the most decent dress that I could find in the huge closet literally filled with undergarments, and the world's most indecent clothes.

I ran through the forest with him, while my knee-length peach gown with an open neck flew wildly behind me. My sweater was probably the only thing that made me look like a not-so-much-pervert-trying-to-flatter-the-world's-most-handsome-prince-by-her-sexiness. I looked around, and saw Rokuro face so close that our lips almost touched........
