Chapter 10 Suspicion
1738 Words
Ruininki and I stand in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, he put down the box of medicine he's holding.
My heart is racing, Ruininki’s face with his dreamy look, he is so fascinating to look at.
I unconsciously held his face and came near him. I wanted to be close, my body desire to be close to him like it is inviting me,
Ruininki held me in my waist, I gulp in his touches, I’m sensitive when he closes the distance between me and him, he is almost breathing in my face.
“Calm down Princess, it is not yet the time, the ritual of claiming you will be on your 18th birthday when you're a full pledge fine lady” Ruininki whispers in my ear and breathing in my neck.
I don’t know but my body moves on her own, I held Ruinink’s head wanted him close, I like the feeling of sensation of his breathing in my neck, my veins I feel I’m alive.
“Princess Mia” Ruininki growls in my neck seems like he is controlling himself,
“What?” I ask irritated,
“You need to go back in the palace” Ruininki lips brushing in my neck as he speaks,
My eyes widen as I heard the word “palace”, “you’re right. I need to go” I said as I’m blushing furiously and I can’t look directly at him.
I hid my face and about to run when Ruininki turns me over and kiss me, It is my first time kissing although I read a lot of novels and it said it feels good but experiencing it my own feels different. It’s a touch of his lips and my lips at first but my body desire is high I open my mouth and Ruininki’s tongue plays inside my mouth cavern as our tongue tangle and we taste each other in those kisses. I feel Ruininki’s hunger, he kisses me passionately and deep. His hands in my waist while my hand is grabbing his hair to kiss me deeper and my other hand grabbing him close. I don’t know what happens to me but I feel I’m in need. I moan when Ruininiki stops kissing me and lets go of my lips which makes Ruininki laugh.
“Don’t worry Princess, I kiss you every day when you become mine” Ruininki's words are promising.
“What are you saying” I’m catching my breath as I’m blushing, hiding my face from him.
“Go back to the palace” Ruininki reminds me and that moment hit me, I run but the feelings of my heart racing and my excitement I can’t hide it.
I'm rushing back to the palace, I run fast. The sun is settling down and I knew Arruis and my twin sister Siana is waiting for me
As I expected Siana is there, she looks at me with squinted eyes and crosses her arm.
“Where have you been, Mia?” Siana's voice is clear that she is upset and mad.
“I’m” I’m trying to think of things I can reason out with Siana but I can’t think of anything,
“Princess Mia” Arruis booming voice makes me shiver
I’m trying to hide that I’m nervous, I stare straight in his eyes, I compose myself.
“I get so consumed in training, I didn’t notice that it is dawn” I’m trying to calm my nerves.
“The direction where you came from?” Arruis eyeing me
“What?” I ask defensively
“You know where you came from?” Arruis asks
“Inside the Forest” I answer casually,
“You know I used to train in the stream” I continue saying
“without your sword?” Arruis continue in his way of asking as if persecuting me,
“what are you trying to say Arruis; why you asking me that way?” I ask bewildered.
“I go to the stream and even in the falls to check on you Princess Mia” Arruis voice with the hint of suspicion.
“Why are you acting like that Arruis? In case you forget, I’m a Princess and your way of talking disrespects me” I pinpoint to him
Arruis clears his throat and bows his head “I’m sorry Princess Mia” He kneels and give me his sincerest apology,
“Princess Mia” I know that voice when I turn to look it is Helene, our nanny.
“Oh my, what will I do? Queen Rianne is worried, we were going around to find you. You know you can’t go around deep inside the forest when the dawn has come. It is dangerous Princess Mia” Helene voice trembles due to nervousness cause of her panic.
“I’m fine Lady Helene. I get consumed in training and didn’t notice the sun is setting, I quickly run when I notice I don’t want to worry anyone” I explain
Helene come to hugs me “I’m glad that you come home to us safe” she is almost crying
“I don’t know what to do if you didn’t come back to us. I don’t have any face to show to the King and Queen” Helene continues crying.
I rub Helene’s back “I’m sorry Lady Helene, I will not do it again” I felt guilty to her burst of emotions.
We ride each of our horses to go back to the palace, my father King is there looking fiercely, his dominant scary look sends me shivers.
“Princess Mia where have you been that your Mother Queen urge me to come to the palace to attend important matters” King Omar voice echoes in the halls of the palace.
“Father I’m sorry that I worry everyone” I’m trying to look pitiful,
My father King's expressions soften as he sees me bow my head, I raise my head and my tears fall freely which melts my father King's heart.
I heard him cough and compose himself before speaking,
“Princess Mia we are all worried for you. I hope you understand.” King Omar's voice is dignified.
“Yes father, I understand. I will not do it again” I said weeping.
“I hope we have an agreement, Princess Mia, and also you Princess Siana go to your room and rest.” Our father King ordered.
Siana timidly says “Yes father”,
“I’m sorry Father” my voice shivering
I come near my mother Queen and hug her “I’m sorry mother” I stare at her, waiting for her reaction.
“As long as you’re safe Mia” My mother Queen smile at me.
I give my bow of respect and goes in my room, my feet are both heavy.
I keep saying “sorry” to my mother but I’m feeling guilty either.
I know what I did and how what I’m doing will shock my family and affects our Kingdom; I keep on telling myself Ruininki is bad and I have to be away from him.
Ruininki explaining we are connected and we link, I can’t help to think that it is the reason.
Our connections make everything hard for me, I touch my lips and still feel the sensation that Ruininki’s lips made me feel.
“Why did he kiss me?” My mind is messy and I can’t gather my thoughts,
I growl out of frustration as I reminisce my body is drawing close to him and I think I provoke him as a man.
I hid my face when I get startled “What’s the matter, Mia?” Siana staring at me strangely,
“Siana” I blurted out
Siana's eyes squint and she scans me from head to toe and back again until our eyes met.
“What?” I ask her to confuse
“Your serotonin is high” Siana looking at me blankly
“So?” I ask
“Our father King and mother Queen are mad and upset but look at you, you react the opposite. What is happening Mia?” Siana asks me with her arm crossed.
“What do you want me to do Siana; be depress about it?” I know I’m being unreasonable but my twin sister Siana coming at me, questioning me, irritates me.
“There is something wrong Mia, you know that” Siana voice is full of conviction.
“Siana I’m tired” I want to leave the topic
“Are you seeing someone?” Siana raise her right eyebrows
I’m thankful her voice is not that loud and my door is closed,
“Siana” I hush her, my face is blushing hard. I can’t look straight in her eyes,
“I knew it,” Siana said in finality.
“You can’t lie to me Mia, you are my twin. We are connected” Siana voice back in a sweet tone.
“connected”, that word ring in my ear.
“I don’t know what is the meaning of the word anymore” my thoughts continue to ravel
“Ruininki said we are link and connected and I’m naturally gravitating to him” my mind, I can’t stop thinking
“Siana is my twins, we naturally feel each other. I feel Siana is upset that I never said things I suppose to let her know” I’m looking at her while my thoughts consuming me,
Siana is my twins and between the two of us, I’m the stronger. I have an image I made for her, I’ am someone she looks up too and she admires for my skills as a fighter.
I don’t want to ruin my image to Siana as her admirable, brave twin sister.
I hug her and she hugs back, “Mia what’s the matter?” she is confused
“Believe me, I don’t want to worry you and our parents, It is not that serious.” I don’t know what comes out in my mouth,
Siana stare at me quizzical “you can tell me who is the guy, I will keep it as a secret” Siana whispers
Deep inside tells me that I don’t have to involve Siana in my issues and I have to protect her.
“Siana it is no one, not a Royalty. A simple villager who is kind to me. It is nothing, you know the Elder’s rule for us choosing our man. I can handle this, all of this is infatuation.” I’m convincing Siana and I know I have to succeed.
Siana gasp, she bowed, seems thinking, she breathes deeply;
“Mia I trust you” Siana words touch me, I feel the sincerity.
I can’t help but hug her, Siana is my best friend; we grew up together, I feel what she feels and we are connected for we are a twin. I grew up that my main purpose is to protect her.
I know we are different there is something that Siana have that I don’t have, Siana is pure and untainted, her eyes reflect that purest care and compassion.
Siana’s hugs are comforting, her compassion has an impact, her concern is real.
No matter what I choose; the path that Ruininki’s telling me, I will make sure one thing, I will protect Siana as her older twin sister that is my duty and I take that it in my heart.
