Legacy Of The Moon Goddess

Chapter 11

I wondered why the thought or sight of Douglas shot electricity through my spines. It has come way too much often in me that I have to remind myself of my original status and mission.

"Well, you know I'm not here to crush on him but I have my own feelings towards him."

"I knew you've something cooking up in your mind towards that handsome prince." Eva teased, rolling her eyes.

"Shhhh!" I gestured with my index finger placed across my lips. "Who tells you that?"

"I know that." Her voice was so confident even though she was smiling sweetly like I had achieved a fortune she really admired and cherished, even more than myself.

"Eva, I'm here to help Douglas out of the prison and nothing more. Don't you pity seeing your prince and the rightful king in prison, that you're here talking about love?"

Eva seemed not to be bothered by my statement, the mindset that I was crushing on the prince had so soaked her mind to ponder on reality. I wasn't into Douglas that way, the way she thought although I admired him. He was too handsome to have every girl doing the same, I wondered how angelic he'd look if out of the prison and in his princely state. We continued our chat right into the evening which we had scheduled for our exclusive girls-date. It was to feature only two of us.

"Do you have any good clothes to wear?" I asked Eva as we started preparing for our outing.

"No," She snapped.

"Be free to borrow anyone you like from my wardrobe." I pointed to the long shelves of dresses at the extreme corner of another section of the room. My dresses stood nicely, in the transparent glass wardrobe. One of them or more would certainly fit her as we're both slender and almost of equal height and body size except for the fact that I'm a few inches above her.

"I wonder who we will pay up with tonight!" I sighed, wishing I had at least a temporary boyfriend whom I can satisfy my romantic urges with. I laughed at myself for quickly putting on the human nature inside me and craving for its needs.

"I thought it was gonna be both of us?"

"Yeah!" I sighed again. "It's both of us but I wish it wasn't."

Eva must have let her mind travel somewhere from the way she stared amusingly at me. I already knew what she had inside it right now. I looked away for a moment trying to evade the real statement from her mouth.

She extended her hands to pick out the fitting long royal blue gown from the wardrobe. It was one of my favorites, I liked it most especially because of the color. The royal blue depicted my royalty, both as a goddess and a wolf queen. After she put it on, she was waxing in my grace. Here I knew clothes can really enhance a person's appearance. Eva looked like a royalty herself, with the gown hugging her body tightly, her shape came out really well. The slit in front exposed her pretty lab and she stood in a modelish style that I couldn't help but applaud her.

"You look so beautiful in my gown!" I complimented her.

"Thanks much," Eva smiled sweetly, we were accustomed to smiling. I think she's similar in character to me at this. She glanced down at her body looking satisfied with her appearance.

"This date would be extremely good if we'd our boyfriends by our side."

"Sure, yours is not a problem. You have one already. I haven't found my mate till now." I smirked at her words. Who was she referring to? I smiled to myself but I truly wished I had him. Eva hasn't found a mate? My eyes widened, I think I've been too concerned with Douglas to take concern in her and pair some cool guy with her as a mate. I feel sorry for her right now, I didn't know she'd be so close to me.

"You haven't found a mate?" I asked her with sorrowful eyes to which she nodded. "Don't worry, you'll have one soon. A great guy is coming your way, perhaps Prince Douglas after he's released from prison."

"You must be temptng me? How would I get to have your mate?" She laughed to herself. In a playful protest, I punched her shoulders.

"What do you mean? Did I tell you Douglas is my mate?"

"Not so, but he's or would be. Right?" She steadied her eyes into mine like she was very serious, then got into a fit of laughter and looked away. I was puzzled and at the same time amazed.

I personally assessed the red gown I was putting on to make sure it fitted me perfectly. I moved to the giant mirror on the wall and took a look at myself. My gown was the same style as Eva's, just that they were two different colors. "You look prettier than me." Eva's comment broke me into a fit of laughter. Though I knew she was telling the truth, I laughed to make her seem not less-pretty. My wish was to make her feel good about herself despite the great difference between us in beauty, wealth and status.

We chose McDonald's Recreation Centre with the initials MRC boldly placed on top of the building for our date venue. It was a giant building with five components, a bar, lounge, cinema, kids playground and dance hall. Their dishes were deemed most excellent in the southern part of the continent which we were. Vienna was really blessed to have such a prestigious restaurant in it. I think it had about eight branches in the country aside from the one in the capital which we are currently in.

Inside was filled with people, individuals and couples with the most elegant dresses. Sure, it was no place for the lowly or average class. We stood out in the crowd like two pretty damsels, of course we are. My golden crown really attracted me to the crowd as everyone stared at me awed and glad I was in their midst. As my personal bodyguard and buddy on this date, Eva wore a little gold tiara. She can't look any less grand. Normally, I wouldn't want to put on my crown on an unofficial occasion like this but I had to since I was bound by the law of the pageantry which instructed so.

"Look! I see someone like Douglas." Eva pointed at the crowd of people standing by the counter to order for drinks, they were many there so I couldn't clearly see the man Eva was referring to. I wondered if she was just kidding to take my mind to Douglas or if she really meant it.
