His Queen From Two Worlds

CHAPTER 6: LUNCH

Sunshine continued falling through the large windows of the room where the couple were sleeping peacefully without any care for the world, lying horizontally on the bed. They spoke about their feelings. Zelda had to calm him every time he thought of what had happened until they both fell asleep.

The room was a royal bedroom but was modernized according to the crown prince’s wish. The room was huge with every possible thing that a bedroom should have. Staring from the bed at the smallest furniture in the room. The room was a mix of grey and white schemes. No one would think that a room in the palace, that too, the crown prince’s room, would be a modern design.

Knock! Knock!

Ray moved a bit, pulling Zelda closer to him, who was already sleeping, half lying on his body. Her face was on his chest.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Ray’s brow furrowed a little, his sleep was getting disturbed by the knocks again. He didn’t open his eyes, pulling Zelda tighter into his embrace.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Again, that noise. Ray felt irritated by the noise and wanted to ask who it was before the person who was knocking on the door said, “Highness, It is Butler Albert”.

Ray twitched his electric blue eyes open slowly. Yeah, the knocks, right? He slowly sat up, carefully placing Zelda on the bed so as not to disturb her sleep. She moved around missing his touch. He didn’t know how long they slept, but that was some quality sleep he needed.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Ray looked at the door. His room was soundproof from the inside, meaning people from outside couldn’t hear what was happening from inside. Ray stood up from his bed and went to open the door. He opened only one door of the double doors, standing in between the doorways. He was neither inside nor outside. His sleepy eyes saw his grandmother’s butler waiting for him to open the door.

“Butler Albert?” he asked, his voice still tired and drowsy from his half-sleep.

“Sorry to disturb you, Your Highness”, Butler Albert felt guilty for disturbing the crown prince’s sleep. He knew how hard the crown prince had been working the past few days, but the order came from someone whom he couldn’t refuse.

Ray waved his hand, a sign telling the old butler not to worry, yawning a bit.

“Your Highness, it’s time for lunch. Her Majesty is waiting for you and Lady Barclay. Her Majesty also asked me to remind you of Lady Barclay's itinerary."

Ray let out another yawn. Damn! He was exhausted. “Alright, Butler Albert. Please inform Grandmother that we will be there”

Butler Albert bowed a little and said, “That is all, your highness.”

Ray nodded his head, stepping back into his room, and closing the door behind him. He knew Albert wouldn’t leave until he went back into the room.

Outside the room, as expected, Albert only left after Ray went into his room.
