The Bastard's Bride Book II Knight

CHAPTER 3

Ysabella frowned as she gets the letter that Xevy delivered, yes, she and Xevy become great friends and she was happy but they can't talk even for a while because the prince said so, and they don't even know what is the reason.

"Open that letter now and let me too read it," Xevy said and he was just so excited to see a letter, he did tell me that no one ever wrote a letter for him, not even his family and I feel sad about him but he was used to it because maybe it was his destiny to be in that situation and someday he will find his woman and not feel her the way he feels and their future children. Xevy is indeed a good man she can tell and that woman is so blessed to have this man.

"Where did it come from?" she asked as she slowly ripped the envelope and unfold the letter.

"It came from your family silly, read it now."

She was about to say something but because of her excitement, anxious and everything she can now feel at that moment come to burst, her family wrote a letter to her. She almost forgot that some of his men, Prince Hades, were in their house.

A tear escape from her eyes that she wipe it away using the back of her hand and Xevy just smiled at her reaction.

Our dearest daughter,

            Ysabella are you okay? How are you? We miss you so much, the house is too quiet without you here. Do not worry about us here okay? We are doing fine and were selling good cabbages here and making a good profit. Don't let yourself get sic for we are not by your side but if you're feeling ill just do what I have instructed you to do when you are here okay? I taught you about the herbal and herbal medicines are way better than drugs selling out there in the market okay? Eat a lot you're being skinny these days, a lot okay? and when we say a lot we mean it Ysabella, don't be hard-headed okay? And in any case, you are now living there for quite a few months because the King told us that they were amused by you and they will send you to a fine school or for you to have a better life, you know us very well with your father, we want the best for you Ysabella so please just do as we tell you okay? We love you and who knows maybe one of these days we will visit you there if the King permits us to do so. I and your papa are proud of you for saving that little boy but do not do that again okay? You give me a heart attack when I heard that please don't do that again if you see people who need saving call someone okay? We love you Ysabella, we always do.

                                                                                                                                        Your mama and papa

She didn't know that she was sobbing the whole time that she was reading the letter and Xevy was just sating at her didn't know what to do, but what can she expect from a soldier, they were trained to that emotionless but Xevy is different he might just see it awkward or he was just not used to it. She wants to laugh at his reaction, his eyes were glued on her and his hands were trembling.

"Are you okay Xevy?" she asked.

"In that case, I don't want to have a letter if it makes me cry, I don't want it," he said which makes her laugh.

"And in this case, I might seem to be living here for quiet months from now on and I don't know what I am going to do now," she sighed and folded again the letter and put it inside her coat pocket.

                                                                                      ***

'A beautiful woman feels beautiful within, from the love she gives to her ideas and the creative ways she expresses her soul. She is one who wraps her arms around the soul of the world, of all who love her and those who need to love. That is beauty and if you can see that too, you'll be smarter and wiser than most, lover her curves of softness. Age can't touch that kind of beauty, it's just there. Her emotions were not easily hidden on her innocent face. Her pain was evident in the crease of her lovely brow and the down-curve of her lips, But her eyes, her eyes showed her soul. They were a deep pool of restless gold, an ocean of hopeless grief. As I looked into her eyes I knew, all the beauty of the universe could not even hope to compete with this simple thing, passion. Passion turns her eyes into orbs of the brightest fire, and in them, I read clearly that she would fight to the very last tear for her life. She would not let the world break her. Sure she could cry, but she would never let them take her true self from her. She clung to it with passion. The passion that made her beautiful.'

Hades was reading a book near in his window and his eyes immediately landed on the woman that makes his mad insane for just thinking of her, it becomes an annoyance to him. It annoys him so much for he doesn't even know why. His eyes were set on her beautiful face but instantly darkened when his eyes landed to Xevy, they are already as close as friends and he must admit he doesn't like it and there is no reason at all to be given, he just doesn't like it, it was not a good image at all.

"Damn you," he gritted his teeth but it faded away when he realized that she was crying.

"Why is she crying damn," he clenched his fist and there he saw Xevy was just looking at her and smiling.

'You'll get what you want little young man,' he thought and his knuckles were turning white when suddenly it slowly fades, his anger fades away and changed into something he didn't expect, it was totally a slow motion. He didn't even know if he was just hallucinating things up or did he somewhat drink, it was a slow-motion indeed.

Her hair is liquid sunshine against a face so pale as to be striking, the strands down her back, stopping in a line around her hips. A smile flashes across her face from beneath reams of her hair. It created slight dimples. Even though it was gone quickly, it was still there. she dipped her head down and read again the letter she is holding. She glowed out of her near translucent skin. 

"What are you doing to me," he grunted and stands from his seat and walk away from the room he was at. He couldn't bear anymore sight of her... for now.
