EPISODE 80
However, Brina just smiled inside.
Later, Queen Elora left as well. Her presence is nee-ded in the next court meeting.
However, Eliina stayed back where the Seven Ladies are now there. They are just having a simple talk.. more like showing off to each other.
Brina sat down in the garden, little away from them.. observing everyone.
“Hello, sister-in-law.” she said in a low voice as she sat down beside her.
Brina got startled for a second but smiled warmly. “Hello, Princess.” she said, not knowing exactly how to address Eliina.
However, she smiled, remembering something.
Eliina pouted cutely, her pout resembling Louis’s.
“Sister-in-law, you can call me Elle you know.” she cutely said, not at all sounding like a nineteen years old girl.
“I can? What if others listen?” Brina asked, chuckling.
She has already heard enough from Louis about his little sister. It felt like she knew Eliina from very long.
“Don’t worry about that, sister-in-law. And, don’t bother about that oldie also. She is always like that.. and, I hate her!” Eliina said.
“She is the Mother Queen. I think you shouldn’t tell others like this. You know?” Brina teased.
“But you are not one of those ‘others’. I hate her so much for trying to betrothal me to my enemy.” Eliina pouted.
Brina felt her heart melt when she heard her sweet words. All of a sudden she couldn’t help but remember Will.
“Enemy?” Brina chuckled.
“Hmm.. yes. When I was having my jacking course in Alpha Academy I had an annoying clas-smate who is Prince of one of the Kingdom.” Eliina started telling, but stopped when she and Brina, in sync, noticed Olivia who was about to try to eavesdrop.
As if they had telepathy, Eliina and Brina got the exact same idea.
“Princess.. you know that I am new to all of this. I didn’t know that Charlotte was using me until you told me so.” Brina’s voice totally took an one eighty degree turn from confident to scared.
“Lady Brina, you are being used by Charlotte for her revenge. As my brother and Charlotte had a break up, she is here for revenge, so be careful.” Eliina said.
Saying so, she stood up and walked away in another direction.
Brina remained seated, pretending to be scared.
Meanwhile, Olivia who doesn’t know the actual ‘Brina’ and how close she is to these siblings, smi-rked.
‘Now, be ready to become my play piece, Brina.’ she thought and went away.
It is only when Brina smiled inside.
Play piece? Really? Haha.
She is the game master here! Okay!
…
“So, you guys used my name.. huh?” Charlotte asked Brina.
It’s already evening and Charlotte just came after talking with Eliina and Queen Elora.
“Olivia appeared all in sudden and we couldn’t simply change the topic, Char. So, we decided to use it to our advantage but couldn’t think of anything except of this.” Brina said, hu-gging Charlotte by her shoulders.
“If I would have known more about Olivia, I would have thought of something else.” Brina added.
“Not a big deal, baby. You can use my name as much as you want.” Charlotte giggled.
“Queen Mother is problematic, isn’t she? Even when our parents thought of engaging me and Louis, she didn’t agree because I am from House of Landon. She wanted Katherine to get engaged to Louis because she is her second favorite after Olivia.” Charlotte told.
“Does she hold a grudge against House of Landon?” Brina asked.
“Dunno.” Charlotte told and at the same time, Hailey came inside with an Ipad in her hands.
“Guys, the first public event is the day after tomorrow. I just got an email from Sir Martin.” Hailey said, excited and nervous at the same time.
Brina and Charlotte who were lazing on the couch, straightened their backs and moved a little, so Hailey could fit in between them.
Hailey quickly sat down and opened the mail.
“It’s boat sailing.” Hailey chuckled.
“I thought something more complicated would happen.” she added.
Charlotte frowned and said, “Hailey, it isn’t as easy as you think. It’s about judging skills, quick reflex and work time. During this time of year, the sea breeze is unpredictable and to reach the end line, we have to change our sailing directions in a matter of seconds. It’s all about your quick reflex.”
“And, Brina wouldn’t be the only person on the boat. Her team.. which is you, me and Calvin. And, there will also be a surprising guest to monitor us. Brina has to take decisions in seconds of time and command her team. So, it’s about her leadership qualities and quick judgement skills. These are some traits nee-ded to be the Queen.. got it?” Charlotte asked Hailey who was visibly shocked.
So much of meaning in a simple mere game.
“Will we get to bring our own boats?” Hailey asked.
“No. We have to select it from the boats in the dockyard. It’s Brina’s sole decision.. I mean her an-alysing skills. Sir Martin will brief the Ladies about the course they had to take to reach the end line. And, he will also give them some basic idea of how the sea breeze might change directions depending on the weather forecast. And, the sea breeze will be totally unpredictable because they will manipulate the air pressures.”
“Whoever is spontaneous enough and has fast an-alysing skills, they will be able to select their boats fas-ter. The last person will be left with the worst boat and her winning chances will be very few.” Charlotte said.
“Gosh!! It’s so damn tough and stressful ahh.” Hailey said in shock.
“One must be accustomed to stressful and tough circu-mstances to become an ideal Queen. You can’t blame them tho.” Charlotte told and shifted her attention to Brina.
“We have only one day, Brina. Tomorrow, I will ask your stylist to prepare a suitable outfit and mask for the event. And, if you want to take any sailing clas-ses tomorrow, I will ask dad to make an appointment with the coach. He will teach you the basics but we can’t really predict which type of boat you might get the day after tomorrow.” She told me.
“Nah, it’s okay, Char. I don’t want any prep clas-ses. I would rather prefer four of us to spend some time together. As we will team up the day after tomorrow, it’s best if I can get to know more about you all.” Brina said.
“Okay. As you wish.” Charlotte said.
Later, Charlotte and Hailey went back to their respective suites and Brina took a shower.
Then, she started making dinner. She would have gone downstairs to have the sumptuous dinner but she decided to cook for Louis.
It’s been days and he had made a coffee for her in the morning although he is so busy.
“Someone is cooking.” Louis said, as he approached her from behind and hu-gged her, like always.
He ki-ssed her ne-ck and inhaled her soothing fragrance. He is so exhausted after having to listen to all the reports and arguments from the Noble Families.
But, as soon as Brina’s sweet scent wafted to his nose, everything vanished into the thin air.
“I missed this so much.” he whispered huskily, ti-ghtening his arms around her wai-st and burying his face de-ep into the crook of her ne-ck making Brina gasp.
Being restricted to move, Brina could not do anything but let Louis continue hu-gging her.
She could feel how tired he must be to act this clingy with her.
Meanwhile, Louis caressed her wai-st and moved his hand upwards sensually. As soon as his hand reached her shoulders, he pulled her sleeve down her shoulder and started ki-ssing hastily.
“We haven’t eaten yet, honey.” Brina said, when she felt his hands and li-ps getting more restless.
“Let’s eat later.” Louis whispered hungrily.
However, this hunger is for Brina. Not for food.
“But I cooked for you.” Brina said, pouting.
Sigh!
He can’t withstand her cuteness sometimes.
Louis sighed and straightened their clothes. ki-ssing her li-ps, he let her go.
“Go and fresh up first. I will be done by then, Your Highness.” Brina teased.
“I am not yet done with you, My Goddess.” Louis replied teasingly as he pointed his eyes to the bedroom, before going into the other washroom to bathe.
He came directly from the court meeting.
All day, they were not able to see each other and it has increa-sed their longing for each other. Though they were apart, their hearts are as close as ever.
Every minute of the day, they have been looking forward to this beautiful time with each other.
Brina felt glad that she didn’t take the wrong step by not coming here. This happiness and their quality time is all worth it.
…..
“Where is Edward? Didn’t he get informed about the dinner meeting?” Queen Mother Greta asked.
As she just came in the morning and it’s been months she met her second grandson, Greta has invited them to dinner with her.
King Edgar, Queen Elora, Princess Eliina are all here.. except for Prince Edward who is now enjoying his quality time with his girlfriend.
He knows about the dinner meeting his grandmother organized but he didn’t want to go.
Spending his time with Brina is more important than having dinner with his grandmother.
Especially, when his baby girl messaged him not to have dinner and that she is cooking for him.
“Mother, Edward might have got tired. He is still new to this pressure and responsibilities.” Queen Elora politely said.
“It’s just dinner, Elora! That boy is still so rebellious as ever.” she sighed.
“Princess, where is your brother right now? Have he slept?” King Edgar asked Eliina. His voice is so soft and affectionate.
She is after all daddy’s girl.
“Brother is having a headache and right away went to sleep after the court meeting.” Eliina said.
She knows that her brother is with Brina now. He told her that they will be sleeping together everyday.
“Mother, we all know that Edward isn’t actually interested in all of this. It’s gonna take time for him to get adjusted and eventually he will decrease his recklessness too. Don’t push him too ha-rd.” King Edgar said to his mother Greta.
Greta frowned. “He is born for this Edgar. It’s all your fault that you pamper and spoil your children a lot. Your first son eloped with a mere commoner.. a gold digger and your second son is not at all filial and respectful. Where as your daughter.. hmph! Leave about her. Is she even a Princess? Where is her etiquette and royalty?” she scoffed.
Eliina clenched her fists. This isn’t any 1960’s!!
“After Edward’s wife gives birth, I will not let you people raise the baby. Send the baby to me and I will show you how to raise the perfect, future heir.” Greta ordered.
As it’s an unspoken rule that the next heir has to be born within the year of the marriage, Even Edward has to produce the heir as soon as possible.. after his marriage.
But the thing is, will he agree to send his child to an oldie to raise?
Never!!
“And, I want to meet Edward right now myself. I have so much to discuss with him.” she firmly said. “Especially about his bride.”
“But mother, Edward is having a headache. Let him sleep for tonight and we will ask him to meet you for breakfast tomorrow.” Elora said worrying about her stepson.
She is aware that once this lady starts discussing, it will take hours and hours. Her poor son is already having insomnia nowadays.
Greta wide-ned her eyes in anger and glared at Elora. “Where are your manners, Elora? Is this the way you talk with the elder? Since when have you started giving suggestions to elders like this?” Greta fired up.
Meanwhile, King Edgar patted Elora’s hand, consoling her secretly.
