Love Agreement With The King

"Tell me everything."

Roselyn chuckled. "so many things happened. I can't begin to tell everything I had to go through. " She replied, taking a long breath.

"Maybe begin from when you fell for him." She suggested. Roselyn couldn't see her face as she focused on the road but knew her well enough to picture her friend raising her eyebrow in a curious expression.

"I don't know what is happening to me. I feel so weird when near to him. Like if I can feel a tingling feeling in my stomach." She said in a rush as she put effort to admit her truest feelings.

"Does he treat you well?" Her friend asked. Her tone of voice was concerned, showing how much she cared for her.

"He is having confused feelings he is close and kind sometimes but other times he seems cold," Rose admitted. Her words were honest and came out of her mouth before she could rationalize her thoughts.

"Maybe he can't admit to himself his feelings." The maid breathed out.

If only she knew about their agreement, maybe she would convince her to cancel their pact, and maybe that was the right thing to do. But Roselyn deeply down thought and hoped that situation would end up benefiting both of them.

John slowed down, and they reached him in a few minutes. He jumped down from the horse and helped her future wife to climb down. Then later she did the same with her friend. He unfolded a towel and lay on it. "I wanted to come here because this is the place where stars are very visible. If we wait few hours, the stars will start showing, and if lucky enough you will be able to see some shooting stars." He said, stretching his arms and placing his hands under his head.

Roselyn laid on the towel as it was big enough to fit all three of them. The lady pulled Kathy's arm to force her to lay down near her. "You became boring since I have left?" She teased her friend, who frowned and pushed her slightly. Roselyn chuckled, returning the friendly push and then they join in a shared loud laugh.

After a while, they totally forgot about John's presence and started to gossip about the ladies of the village. John enjoyed their conversations and was quite amused hearing them tattling about everything and trying to investigate the possible scandals in the city.

He took part in their conversation from time to time and after a few hours the night has fallen and the sky colored of an intense blue. Few stars appeared and in a brief period they multiplied, filling the sky with hundreds of shining sprinkles.

"So beautiful," Kathy and Roselyn commented in unison, admiring the sight.

Roselyn pointed at the sky and opened her mouth when she saw a shooting star. She immediately thought about what wish to make. She heard many saying about how your wish will be granted upon a shooting start. "I saw it!" The words escaped from her mouth before closing her eyes and making the wish. She wished the first thing that occurred to her mind, the most complicated yet simplest wish she could think of: to be finally happy.

Probably a wish that both a child and an adult could make, but that was really what she aimed for in her life right now.

"I saw one too!" She heard Kathy's voice raise into an exclamation and then whisper something under her breath, probably a wish.

"What did you wish?" Roselyn said, tilting her head from side to side in a funny way as she leaned closer to her friend.

Kathy chuckled, "I can't tell or it won't come true." She gestured with her finger no and they laughed.

After one hour, when the sky became darker, John insisted for them to leave and find their way back to the carriage.

Kathy and Rose embraced for the entire trip of return home in the carriage whispering sweet words to each other's, John tried to ignore all that sentimentalism.

When the maid returned home, John stretched his legs feeling more comfortable.

"I didn't think you were so close." He said.

"We are," Roselyn replied curving her lips thinking of how lucky she was to have her as a friend.

"However, I meant the things I said." John added, causing Roselyn to glance at him puzzled. "what things?" she asked, frowning her eyebrows.

His glance softened up and smiled shyly. "that I couldn't ask for a better wife." Roselyn shook her head as she barely believed the words that came out of his mouth, it was not possible he really meant that.

"You don't have to lie." She murmured, with insecureness in her voice.

"I wouldn't say it if it was a lie. The first day I met you and I thought I had found a pleasuring girl. My plans require me to meet you once a day just for ruling issues and eventually to fix some discrepancies. Instead, look at me now, here in the middle of the night just to satisfy your desire."

Roselyn blushed lightly, her glance lowered down, and her hands began to shake lightly. "What are you trying to say?" she asked, trying to sound less nervous than she really was.

"I noticed that you tend to have low self-esteem. And you shouldn't. I have met so many women during my hundreds of years of existence but none of them was like you. You are kind, empathetic, wise, and broad-minded." He stated, his voice sounded kind and genuine. If she didn't know him she would think he was slowly beginning to like her.

Roselyn smiled, caught completely off guards. She didn't know what to reply.

"Maybe a little impulsive as well." He added, chuckling lightly.

Roselyn laughed. "How dare you?" She pretended to be offended by folding her arms.. They both laughed, looking at each other straight into the eyes they both smiled.
