Moving On
With the Queen

Emelie fell asleep on the queen's lap. Since waking up from his sleep, he had already found the queen's face before his eyes. His lips smiled happily, when now he could hug the woman with the status of his mother freely. No more distance like last night.

“Mother .. forgive Emelie. Emelie never thought that the King would leave so soon.” Emelie's tears wet the clothes the queen was wearing at the time.

“Emelie, what happens let happen. If I may know, where have you been all this time? why did you run away at the wedding? I'm so worried about you.” The queen gently rubbed Emelie's hair with a smile full of bitterness.

“Mother, forgive Emelie. Emelie is not ready to get married so soon.” Emelie buried her face in the arms of her mother.

“Before leaving, His Majesty the King advised mom. To perform the wedding after you are ready to get married. Emelie, we're not going to force you to get married anytime soon. We want, you guys know each other first.”

Emelie closed her eyes. His heart was hurt and disappointed when he remembered Damian's name. He hated and was sick of hearing Damian. He wanted to reject Damian's name from the list of potential husbands prepared for him. However, he could not do anything at that time.

At least there's still time to think of ways this marriage never happened.

Emelie carved out a small smile as she said that sentence inwardly.

“Emelie, while in Hong Kong, I heard you were helped by someone. Who is he?”

The Queen's question again reminded her of the name Zeroun Zein. His lips were stiff as he had to lie over Zeroun Zein's current true identity.

“Emelie in please by an old man, Mom. The man was very kind, he considered Emelie like his own daughter when Emelie was in Hongkong.”

“Really? I'll send her a gift. As a thank you for taking good care of my daughter in Hongkong.”

“Do not!” emelie shouted before sitting down looking at the Queen's face with a worried face.

“Why, Nak?” The queen tucked Emelie's messy hair away.

“Someday Emelie wants to go to that place again. Emelie doesn't want Emelie's friends at the place to know Emelie's real identity.” Emelie put on a face full of longing for her rented house.

“They don't know, if you're the King's daughter?” The Queen's face was shocked.

Emelie shook her head, “Although they thought of Emelie like a common woman. But, they treat Emelie so well.”

The little smiling queen, “Alright, it's all up to you, son. I won't ruin all the good plans you've made.” Pinched Emelie's nose with a small laugh.

“Thank you, Mother.” Emelie hugged the Queen's body with a radiant face.

There's one more guy Emelie can't tell Mom. Forgive Emelie, Mother. Emelie doesn't want Mom to misunderstand and ends up hurting Zeroun. What else is that guy here. It would be very easy for Mom to catch him. Wait-wait. Zeroun is still here? Yes, after last night. I haven't seen him again.

“Mother, Emelie wants to take a shower. There are important things Emelie should do.” Emelie kisses the Queen's cheek before running towards the bathroom.

“Be careful, Emelie,” shouted the Queen with a head that shook her head.

“I never thought. Now my little girl has grown into a very beautiful and adorable Princess like this.”

Moments later, Emelie was out of the room. When Emelie finished her bath, the Queen had already left her room. Now Emelie is seen coming down the stairs accompanied by several maids. Examine every corner of the magnificent house carefully. His move was fixed on the man who accepted the responsibility of leading all the royal guards.

“Good Morning, Princess. Can I help you?” The head of the royal guard bowed respectfully.

“You need not bother to meet them, Princess. Let me give the order to them to meet the Princess here.” The man keeps Emelie's degree as Princess.

Emelie was silent for a moment. All the words of this man are true. It would be inappropriate for a Royal Princess to visit the gathering place of the Royal Guards.

I'm not sure Zeroun is still at the location of this Palace. They must have left the palace.

“Princess,” greet one of the maids who just arrived in front of Emelie.

“What's up?” Emelie looked at the servant's face carefully.

“Prince Damian has arrived, The Queen asks the Princess to meet the Prince in the Queen's Room.” The waiter still bent his head.

“I'll be there soon,” replied Emelie with a lackluster expression.

“Daughter, do you want me to give the guards orders to meet you?” ask the man again.

“No, forget it.” Emelie turned her body.

Hearing Damian's name alone had already made his mood turn bad. What's more when he has to deal directly with the man. With heavy steps, Emelie walked slowly towards the Queen's private room. Several servants seemed to follow Emelie from behind.

In a very large room. Damian and the Queen sat face to face at a medium-sized table. There were two cups of tea that had just been served on the table. The Queen and Prince Damian were seen conversing so intimately.

Since the first time I saw Prince Damian, the Queen has been very fond of Prince Damian. Her heart felt very happy, if Princess Emelie and Prince Damian married to form a happy family.

Emelie appeared inside the room with one sweet smile on her face. His body bowed before greeting the Queen that morning.

“Good Morning, Your Excellency ...” Emelie didn't want to say hello to Prince Damian that morning.

His heart was still irritated when it got a slap that came from Damian's hand back then. Plus, Damian didn't help himself when some assassins attacked him.

The Queen glanced at the Prince's face as Emelie simply greeted her. Not yet had the Queen to say, Prince Damian had already moved from his seat.

“Good Morning, Princess Emelie. It's nice to see you again. Forgive me for not being able to protect you last night. Are you okay, Princess?” Prince Damian put on a worried face.

Emelie gave a small smile looking at Damian's face.

This guy is really fit to be an artist. He could have acted so well. I wish I could reply to him this second.

Emelie tightly clenched her hands to hold the anger in her heart.

“I have some business to do. You better have a chat together.” The queen moved from her seat.

“Thank you, Your Majesty ...” replied Emelie and Damian simultaneously.

The queen brought all the servants and bodyguards in the room to come out. Only Emelie and Damian remained in that luxurious room.

Emelie walked towards the chair with a dislike face. Sitting on one of the chairs while turning her back to Damian back then.

“Emelie, you're finally back at this palace. If you finally come home, why did I have to bother picking you up to Hongkong.” Damian standing in smaping Emelie's chair. There was a small laugh etched on his lips.

Like don't forget.😊
