Fleeting

Chapter 4

King, in this time has just have arrived from a gathering of Royalties of this country for days, tired but yet in good mood. As usual Simon was there to greet and assist him with his needs.

The afternoon was set, the surroundings of orange, pink and gold shades was vastly dispersed as the sun of gold, orange and red was there slowly drifting off sleep. The sky was also clear in colours of yellow, orange, red and pink as Simon guided King to a hallway at the far South of the Manor, because of Simon said there is an urgent matter concerning Lyra and King needed to be personally in present at the room in the far end of the South Wing hallway.

' Lyra, what trouble you have done this time? '

King had thought in his mind and heaving a deep sigh as they continue to  pace through the dark hallway. After a ten minutes strode across the hallway they have finally halted when they reached the end of the hallway which was an oak wood crafted doors.

Simon guided the doors to open slowly revealing an elegant, beautiful and yet simple faint yellow shaded hair female who was simply standing there besides a black wooden grand piano and smiling at the caramel elbow length shaded haired male who has now entered and completely stunned by her simple but elegant beauty that was also enhanced by the fading sun set.

" Lyra. "

King have finally regained from his stun state and blurted out.

" Welcome back my Lord, Simon told me once that you like hearing piano music, so as to show my gratitude for saving my life and allowing me to stay here even though I wanted to repay you with helping in the household chores, but they all kept on insisting that don't needed me to help although I seen they needed my assistance. "

Lyra uttered and childishly pouted.

' It's for our own and the Manor's safety. '
King thought upon hearing of what Lyra had said.

" A piano music? "

" Yes my Lord, you want to hear it? I also add something to make it good. "

Lyra smiled.

" Yes, go ahead then Lyra. "

Lyra pace infront of the piano and sit down infront of the keyboard and started to play elegantly, majestically, enchantingly and gracefully as if her hands were dancing on top of the keyboard flawlessly as soon as she heard King's reply.

~ If i could just be a star
Maybe i can be with my moon
Shinning so brightly like a thousands of diamonds
" will he like me then ? "

I will sing a song
An endless harmony of my love
Feeling my heart longing for his attention
" will he notice me ? "

But then... I realize

I maybe in the same world as he is
Trying to be on top to reach him
But i can never be with him
For i am just another star
That will sure come to an end ~

While watching Lyra playing the piano and started to sing, King suddenly went into a trance as if the whole room have disappeared and there were only Lyra with the grand piano and him standing on a scenic view of the sun's setting down in the vast and clear sky and the cherry blossom' s petals were drifting freely as the breeze gently pass by them.

When Lyra was finished playing and singing, she just silently smiled at King who have unknowingly smiled back as a silent response.
