Blossoms on fire

Chapter 31

EDITED

'Jim!' shouts Jonah.

'Yes.' shouts back Jim.

'The revolutionaries are here and our money too!' says Jonah.

'Finally.' says Jim.

'I am going.' says Jim.

I am still in the same room. I am lying on the floor. Next change is coming now. I do not know who the ones called revolutionaries exactly are but I hope that they are not worse people than Jim and Jonah.

All the time here they were hitting me and be rude to me still mentioning that I am a worthless princess and I did not do anything to push Micao forward. They said that I should die instead of my whole family and the last king was better and he would never agree to let marry a prince of Rouka into the royal family which rules to Micao.

Yes, I am a worthless princess who should not be bear-like a princess at all but destiny wanted me to be bear into this family and even me do not know why.

I do not even know why did I survive the attack like only one.

Why? This question I asked so many times.

I wish only one thing from my childhood. And this wish was and still is to live in a city or a village and let the world let forget me like a princess and let me live a normal life like lives everyone else.

The door is opened by Jonah and two for me unknown men. I am a bit scared but I try to look like I am.

Jonah comes to me and lifts me from the floor. I am standing on my feet and I am looking on the floor instead of on the two men in front of the door.

Jonah touches my chin and makes me look at them. They look so strong, how I will run away if they are so strong?

'It is a princess.' says one of the two men.

'I cannot believe it.' says the another one of the duo.

'Me too.' says Jonah.

'My stupid brother took some girl and he showed me this girl and I did not know what to say when I recognize that he took the princess. I asked him how he took this girl because I was afraid that he visited the royal palace and took her from that place but instead of that, he said that she was on the meadow. And without anyone to protect her. He said that she was there alone.' says Jonah.

'That is a piece of big luck!' says one of the man.

'But alone how this can happen. Is it a trap or something like that?' asks another man.

'We can ask her anyway so why discuss it just us three.' says another one of the duo.

'I will.' answers the other one of the duo.

'Go for it, Mij.' says his companion.

'Ohhh yes. Mik.' says Mij.

Mik? Mij? Both of them have a name which starts with M. These names are not their true names. They changed them surely.

Mij comes to me. He is standing in front of me. He is taller so he gets down a bit so our eyes are in one line.

He winks at me.

'Why were you on the meadow? 'Mij asks.

I am quiet.

'I asked you a question, little girl.' he says.

Lea, let them be confused and not so assured.

'I can be wherever I want to be.' I say.

'Why were you alone?' asks Mij again.

I wanted to. I answer for myself.

'The king sent me there. And said to the guards to be hidden.' I answer.

My answers are lies I try to let them appear so truthfully.

Jonah looks scared.

Jim is just entering the room.

'Guards? They were looking after you when Jim took you?' asks Jonah.

'Yes.' I say.

This word I said to my father so many times even if I did not want to and thank you, dad. It comes to be handy now.

'Jim, you are an idiot!' shouts Jonah and runs at him.

They start to fight.

'Even if we know this information I want to buy her.' says Mik.

Jonah stops beating Jim and he turns around his head to look at Mik.

'Really? Why?' asks Jonah.

'Yes.' says Mij.

Mik is taking of his pocket the money they agreed on.

Jonah takes it then he and Jim go away.

'Jim, pack our things. We are moving.' says Jonah.

Mij and Mik are looking at me.

I wanted to use the situation for my escape but Mij is not stupid at all and after my last answer he is standing close and now he is holding my hand. His grip is strong I cannot get out of it.

Mij with me comes to Mik. They blindfolded me.

'We know that you lied.' whispers Mik.

After that, we leave Jim and Jonah 's house.

They found out that I was lying. I felt so bad. They know the answer I did not want to tell anyone.

And why did Mij wink at me?

What does it mean?

I trapped myself in my trap.

Lea...

I thought that I can do something right but I cannot. I cannot lie. Yes, Jonah and Jim believe that the words I said are true but both of them are idiots and bad people. They fought against each other and called themselves brothers.

I am walking on my own. Mij is holding my hand the same as Mik.

They are careful. It passed maybe twenty minutes. We stopped and both of them sit and they help me to sit.

'Drink.' says Mik and gives some bottle to my lips.

I want to take the bottle but he did not let me.

'You drink I am holding the bottle.' Mik says.

I nod and start to drink.

I was okay with not much water but he is still holding the bottle and makes me drink more.

I got thirsty that is right but I do not want to ask for the water. I did not want to risk.

'Thank you.' I say.

He caresses my head.

Maybe they bought me but I cannot be upset at them I do not know their reasons. I do not know why they are the revolutionaries and why they want to take Noor down. Did they hate me like Jim and Jonah for marrying Noor?

I do not think that Noor is a bad king. And before and after the marriage he showed me that he cares for this kingdom. He decreased the tax and changed all laws to better.

I do not regret marrying him at all. But why was he so bad at me before I got caught by Jim and Jonah? This thing is something I will never know. Maybe.

But those thoughts are unnecessary this time. I must find out their reasons and plan and then decide what to do.
