Cold Stone Prince

Chapter 10 : The Royal Hut

VOTE PLEASE MY BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL READERS!!! 

"Only idiots go inside the forest on their own." Prince Danyon said as he approached me from behind the snow coated trees. Though I was relieved that I was not alone in this forest, I can't help myself but to wonder what on earth is he doing here? And I don't see no snowboard.

"And yet you're here." I said to him, as I also throw my infamous smirk at him. I walk deeper into the forest as I now have the courage to do so because Danyon is here. He's not afraid is he?

The little walk was filled with silence for 5 minuets as I didn't know where I was going nor what to talk about. I was nervous alright, I'm walking beside the 'prince' now that's something that doesn't occurred everyday.

"So what happened to your snowboard?" I began talking as he trailed not far behind me. 

"Same thing that happened to your ice skating shoes." How kind of him, giving it to some poor child who wanted to have fun a little. "Except this kid is a grown up man, who loves ice cream so much and lost his board when he turned around." I slapped my face with my palm as I know who he was referring to.

"Goddammit, I swear Isaac is too much of an ass to handle." I said while feeling sorry towards prince Danyon as I apologized on the behalf of my cousin.

I heard a faint laugh coming from his now already cold expression. "Did you just laugh at me? Or you were just agreeing to the statement I said?" I said as I am fascinated at how he maintained his stern expression.

"Little bit of both." He's really honest isn't he.

"So, you're getting married your highness. Does that makes you feel old?" I asked, I don't know why but it literally just slipped out of my mouth.

"Like I said, I am old enough to be your boyfriend." He playfully said as I remembered the second day we met and he had dinner with me. How precious. 

"My apologies your highness. Shouldn't have ask that so you wouldn't let out that cocky attitude on me." I joked back at him, I was afraid that it would sound offensive to him (then I could be sent to the jail) but to my relief he laugh it off.

I don't know how long I've been walking and talking with him, because now we're literally in the very middle of this utterly beautiful forest. I didn't even realized that it's getting colder and darker.

"We should head back, I'm sure your screaming fiance is looking around for you." It was meant to be a joke but when I look towards his face I honestly was expecting one of those charming smile of him. But he had this expression that seems offended maybe scared? When I look towards where he was looking I saw a thick cloud coming at us.

"We should hurry." He coldly said. Despite the cold weather he manages to be the coldest of them all. So fascinating, so exciting to tease. 

I was watching him closely from behind as he was in a hurry trying to get out of this forest. "Why are you in such a hurry, I honestly wouldn't mind a bit of snow." I said to him as I thought he took it seriously when I said I prefer the ice more than the snow. 

He stopped at his track and looked back and my dull brown eyes met his flaming grey eyes. "Tch- That is not just some 'bit of snow'. Those are the Nimbostratus cloud, that produce rain and snow storm for a very stable time." He was angry and mad at me. I get it he is trying to protect us not to get buried in the thick layer of snow. But he's not the only one who studies basic Nephology. 

"No, those are not Nimbostratus. Believe it or not, those are only thick stratus. Nothing to be worried about." I said to him feeling proud of my knowledge so far.
