Cherreads

Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

Jedi enters her room in the secondary hall, hall for employees to rest in the tower. This tower has three different buildings: the secondary, primary and the court hall which is the main hall. She takes out a pair of top and jeans and a hair brush.

She puts in her pouch and leaves her room.

"I must send in the branch", She turns to the primary hall where the sorcerer does his projects and other works. She reaches his study which was wide open for her to see him focused reading whatever he's reading.

She stands for a while then decides to knock. Felix lifts his head from the book

"Come in", he says and for a second we see warmth in his eyes which disappeared as soon as it came for his nonchalance to appear. Jedi enters and bows in respect. "How was the trip to the forest?" He asks motioning for her to sit. "I've got it." She says as she removes the branch from the pouch and hands it to Felix. "How about you?" "What?" Jedi questions confuse. "I mean how are you. Not everyone can stay that long in the forest. Let me help you with your essence"

He touches her hand and retracts again fast. Jedi also felt the tension and stood up checking her hand. "What happened just now", she asks Felix. Felix regains his composure and moves to Jedi's side. "Don't worry, I will figure it out. Here sit down" he helps her sit down again " it seems that almost all your essence might have been depleted. Let me help you." He holds her hand.

The shock happens but he endures transferring some of his essence to her. He removes after some minutes. "How are you feeling now" "Nothings changed. I feel the same. But I'm okay." "Then let me check again", he holds her hand again and there's no reaction. "Actually...I found a lady in the forest. I touched her when she was unconscious and I felt a strange tension and essence in her."

She tells him. "Really? Who is she?" "She is called .... *she thinks* I didn't get the name." Felix looks at her while she looks down, "Don't you know it's dangerous to talk with strangers? And you even touch them", he flicks her head. "Oww", she touches her forehead. "She's not dangerous I'm sure. She's very pretty like an angel." "Yes, an angel. Don't you know that's how they expose themselves to innocent children like you?"

He says. "But.. she ...I was going back to give her a new set of dress. After then i will return" "Jedi, you don't know her. And you are going to help again" he says in disbelief. "But we were taught to offer kindness to everyone" Jedi says innocently that Felix sighs. He moves close to Jedi and caresses her cheek. "I have forgotten you are naive and so innocent. Anyway kindness isn't for everyone but I won't condemn what my mother in law says."

Jedi blushes. Felix moves to his stand and takes his coat. "I will go with you so let's go." "Wh...wh...erm ... I.." "Why are you stuttering. Stand up and let's go." "Okay" she takes her pouch and follows him.

Ellian sat with Lady Phyllis for about an hour and half talking about their marriage and children. *knock* knock* A knock comes at the door. Ellian shows displeasure to be interrupted from his special moment with Phyllis. Nathan opens the door. "I'm sorry your majesty but it's time for the round checking. You said to inform you when it's time"

*round checking is a frequent check around the grounds*

Ellian sighs making Phyllis laugh gently. "You should go" She nudges gently. "I'm fine" "Are you sure?" She nods. Ellian kisses her forehead. "Then you should rest. You can leave for the palace if you are tired". He says. "Okay" she nods and Ellian and Nathan leaves the room. "Nathan" "Yes your highness" "Get a lady" "For what?" he asks confused. "So you will get something to do with your life and not disturb mine" "I just followed your orders,your highness. And I'm not ready for any romance as we have to find a solution to the famine" he says politely. "Hmm.. your lost", Ellian says shaking his head.

They went to the training room where the knights were working. The knights bow on seeing him. "Greetings the star of Romania" Ellian nods and beckons for Cody to come to his side. "Continue with your training." "Yes Sir". They chant back.

Cody greets the Prince again. "Cody, we are doing round checking", Nathan tells him. "Shoot I forgot" he says. "Let's go" They leave the room. "Your majesty, you are joining" "Yeah"

They gets to the primary hall where they see Felix coming out with Jedi whom they are familiar with. "What special luck I get to see the star of Romania twice in a day. I'm flattered"

Felix says with a grin. Jedi on the other hand curtsies to the Prince. "Greetings Prince Ellian", he nods. "How have you been Jedi." "I'm fine your highness" "How about the marchioness" "Mother's fairing well" "Why do you ask her so much questions. Don't intimidate her." Felix says jealous. (She doesn't talk to me much except when its about work) He drags Jedi behind him. "I have done no such thing or are you jealous. You shouldn't feel insecure."

Ellian says with a smirk. "W...what.. who says I'm insecure." He flushes with embarrassment. Jedi blushes too remembering what he said in his study. "Anyway we are going out for some alone time so don't look for me" Felix says. Jedi blushes again making her face red as she nudges him. "Don't say it like that", she whispers shyly at how how ambiguous it sounds. "She is fourteen Felix." "Ooh! You youngsters and your thinking. We are just going to help someone. You see we are kind people who can't stand seeing others in danger. So we are off to help"

Felix says as a matter of fact. "What happened?" Ellian asks Jedi not bothering to turn to Felix. "Erm... I helped a lady out of the eternity forest and I came for a pair of clothes for her... to help her" "Do you know her", he frowns as he asks. She shakes her head. He turns to Felix. "I haven't seen the lady so I'm following since she still wants to help her. Don't worry, I will definitely save her if anything happens" "What if it's a spy? We are going with you. After all you are no swordsman. And we can also keep an eye on you two"
