I wrapped my legs around his waist and we spent a few minutes more under the moon kissing.

Mina Point of View

To get up the same morning was no easy task. I was behind schedule but I just couldn't get rid of the smile on my face.

Mama looked happy as well but I didn't know for what reason. I had left the phone at home with Mama and Ash was getting ready to head out so he had to leave his tablet as well.

I didn't want anyone to see him with it or for him to mention it to anyone. If something like that got out we would be in so much trouble. They would know Mark was the one who gave it to me because I doubt anyone in the whole castle except the royal family had such devices as well as things would not end good.

I pushed through the kitchen door and found Ms. Fatima making breakfast. Her back was towards me though. "Tis' beautiful."

"What's beautiful?" I asked grabbing my apron.

"Ye' light Child," She laughed. "Me assuming ye' had fun."

I knew it wasn't much of a question but more of a statement. "It was very fun." I could hear the smile in my voice.

Fatima laughed. "Good times ar' coming."

I went over to the bread that was freshly baked and began slicing. "Good times indeed."

I stood by the side of the table while the royal family and Mark had there breakfast.

There wasn't much conversation though. Princess Farrah was in a pissy mood, the King, Adabe, was in unusually quite mood. He looked worried about something while Queen Alyana was quite happy except for the fact that kept giving me certain looks.

Mark has his eyes in me ever since he came to breakfast but I doubt anyone actually knew or could catch him doing it. He was so good at hiding it. If I didn't feel the chills that would run up and down my spine whenever he looked at me I wouldn't know.

"Commander?" Alyana called.

"Yes Queen Alyana," He answered while continuing to have his breakfast. Which he has been all along while subtly staring at me.

I'll ask him how he does it later when we are in the library. "Did your guest Agalia make it safely home?" It sounded as if she was trying to make light conversation but I knew better. She was digging for information.

I could tell Annabelle was listening keenly as well while she could beside me. She wasn't one for gossip to everyone. She only spoke to me and Ms. Fatima from the palace.

She would most likely ask me about whatever is about to be said when we were back in the kitchen.

I wouldn't give information like that out easily though well, only if Ms. Fatima though it was a good idea. She always gave good advice and had good hunches.
