Lost Memories Of The Past

Chapter 14 : Day 3 and a half - The Real Truth

Was there a real truth? Did Mia and Colocks really tell me the truth? Was it a lie? Was it?

I questioned myself. Why did I? I didn't know. I was crying, crying my eyes out. For no apparent reasons.

I wonder why am I crying? Is something going to happen to me? Am I going to die?

" Miss Elise, please come down to the dining room." The noisy chicken woke me up, awakening me from my dream.

Yes, it was a dream. Yet, it actually seemed so real.

I sat up, looking at the door. Even if I stay in here, sooner or later I would have to go.

I stood up, going to the bathroom. Quick showers always make the best alarm clock in the morning for someone like me.

Shower, shower, shower!
Shower, shower, shower!

I sang as I shower. Nice, it is like a waterfall, flowing down peacefully.

" Miss Elise, the Queen wants you at the table now." Noisy chicken announced seriously.

This time he sounds serious. Better not get on the Queen's nerves. You never know when the ugly chicken would come out next and bite you.

I got out of the bathroom immediately, dressing. Looking at the table, I thought carefully.

Ponytail for the hair and a pink dress, that should totally do it.

I ran out of the room as soon as I am finish.

" What's with the sweat, Miss Elise? Come along, the Queen is waiting quite impatiently." Noisy chicken explained, walking down the same hallways again.

I looked at my dress, swiping the dust away and checking my hair. Good, hope nothing gets worse.

Noisy chicken calmly walked, with his usual "no expression" face. I wonder how can he be so calm.

He led me into the dining room. " Wait what! There is no one here and you led me here. I could have slept more!" I remarked, staring at him.

Noisy Chicken looked at me. " I brought early so that the Queen wouldn't be angry later. She is not like the princess. She hates latecomers. " Noisy chicken answered, walking away.

" You better be ready. Soon, they will be coming. "

I took his words, sitting down at my usual seat. Patting my dress, I stared around nervously. What if the Queen ban me from this country? What if she blamed Lonarin for everything? What if she give Colocks punishment for not looking after me properly.

Wild thoughts. You can never escape them when you are panicking.

" The Queen,King and Princess has arrived." Noisy chicken announced, alerting the staff to serve the food.

Noisy chicken winked at me. You will be fine. I could read it off his expression. Well, at least someone is trying to help.

I looked up. Staring straight at Lonarin. Her eyes seemed to be red and puffy. Looks like she got a tough scolding.

I feel bad.

The servers quickly arrived to the spot, bringing all kinds of food to the table.

Satay.

Sushi.

Cream puffs.

Pizza.
