EPISODE 86
“Come, didn’t I tell you that I will take you somewhere?” Louis said, giving his hand to Brina, making her climb out of bed.
“Where?” Brina asked, when he took her hand and led her to the hu-ge portrait of God of Hades.
Louis didn’t answer but placed his thumb on the right edge of the portrait and immediately a red laser scanned his thumb print.
After a green blink appeared, a normal wall on the other side of the room made a ‘clic-k’ sound.
“Are you taking me into the secret pas-sway of the Palace? Isn’t it against the rules?” Brina asked in shock.
No one except the Royal Family and a few of very, very loyal people have access to these, until or unless some invasion happens.
“Yes, against the rules. But, not for the future member of the Royal Family and the next Queen.” Louis said, busy in getting access to the secret wall door.
Otherwise he would have seen her flinch..
“What if I am bad?” Brina asked, carefully putting her words together.
“You are always good in my eyes no matter what others feel about you.” he told her, as he walked to her.
He cu-p-ped her face and placed a ki-ss on her forehead.
“And, I don’t think you are as bad as me.” he teased, making her giggle.
“Yeah, my big bad boy.” she chuckled.
“But, I’m a sweet bad boy.” Louis winked, suddenly taking her into his arms and carrying her into the secret pas-sway.
Brina didn’t talk anymore. She just wrapped her arms around his ne-ck and continued looking around.
These secret pas-sways are ancient and elegant. The arts, portraits, bookshelves.. everything is screaming the evidence that they used to worship the Greek of Gods.
After a few minutes of walking, using stairs, taking turns, Louis stopped at another portrait of a beautiful nymph.
He did the same procedure as before and the door opened, leading him to the other door.
“Welcome to our ‘soon-to-be’ suite.” Louis whispered into her ear and opened the door.
“This is not the entrance, but one of the rooms.” Louis told her.
The secret door led them to a room and by looking at it, Brina figured out that this suite has two sto-reys.
From the hu-ge glas-s partition, she could see a staircase which led them to the upper floor and ground floor.
Meanwhile, this room is simply modern.. but emanating the royal vibes.
It has a modern fireplace area, grand piano and a small U-shaped sofa where two people could sit.
Just by looking at it she knew that this room is designed for the couple.
“I can play the piano for you one day.” Louis whispered as he teasingly bit her earlobe.
“I can play for you as well. How about a competition?” Brina asked, chuckling.
“Hmm.. good idea. Whoever wins gets to be on the top of our -” he got cut off when Brina gr-unted “Shameless! Can’t you think of anything else?!” she asked, slapping her forehead.
Louis chuckled.
“For now, no!” He answered as he pec-ked her li-ps.
He carried her out of the room to the spacious hall which has the staircase.
“Ground floor is no fun. It has my office, study room and a conference hall. Everything there is related to work and where I can meet with the officials.” he said.
“For now, I am not giving you a tour of that floor.” he chuckled. “It’s boring. So, you can go and check out when you are free.”
“And, this floor is a fun floor. No one has access to this floor and top floor.. except for family.”
“Here, we have a home theatre, music room, a bar, a gaming room and.. a playroom for kids.” he told her.
Brina almost wriggled her eyebrows when he said ‘kids’.
Well, isn’t it so pre-planned?!
Louis pretended as if he didn’t see her reaction and pointed to the other black double door.
“This is our mini home. I spend most of my time here myself.” he said and carried her inside.
Soon a gasp escaped Brina’s li-ps when she saw his majestic and elegant suite.
She is simply awestruck.
It’s a duplex inside a two sto-reys suite which is in turn a part of the hu-ge palace.
It’s simply too extravagant and outstanding.
The interiors of the house gave her the vibes of their penthouse in City S.
The first floor has a living room, dining area and a kitchen.
The white, swirling chandeliers are hanging from the high ceiling and she could see the upper floor just by standing on this floor.
It is simply beautiful and minimalistic.
“Our room is upstairs.” he said and carried her to the upper floor.
It is totally divided into three parts with each part having its own corridor that gives access to railings from where the ground floor could be seen.
“The opposite portion has a bedroom and two more rooms which we can modify later.”
“And the side of this portion has a nursery.. umm.. you know, for kids.. well.. *cough* this is our bedroom.” he said, pointing to the other side, making Brina laugh.
He was cute just now.
And, their bedroom made her almost gasp again.
“Seriously Louis??!!” Brina asked, mas-saging her forehead.
Isn’t this room too exaggerated and very grand?
It made her remember the rooms from web series related to royal life.
Well, how can she forget.
This is the royal palace!
“Don’t blame me baby. This is designed by my mother and others, exclusively to use after I got married. They even connected this room to the nursery and made this soundproof as well.” Louis told her, sighing.
There is a hu-ge bed and on the ceiling right on the top of that luxurious bed, there is a hu-ge box like construction. And in that box like thing, there are curtains. They are folded into it but with a bu-tton in the room automation remote, they can make those curtains cover the bed in four sides.
On the other side there are two armchairs matching the beds interior. And on the other side there is a walk-in-closet which has the bathroom attached.
And, nothing is simple here!!
When Louis felt her gaze on him, he couldn’t help but pout.
“Baby, you know that I love black texture and interiors. Even the bedroom I used to sleep in now is black just because I got it designed by myself. In this suite, I just designed my room and gaming area. Rest of all are designed by my mother who is a hu-ge fan of white and light colors.” He told her.
“So, I was not the one who designed this extravagantly! You know that I love simple and modern. I am no royal person.” he said.
Brina nodded her head. He isn’t lying.
In the past, he had no thoughts of staying in the palace for the long term. So, he hadn’t paid attention to how his quarters will be designed.
However, his parents have re-designed everything similar to how the Crown Prince’s chamber has to be. They didn’t want to show partiality just because their second son would not stay with them here.
But no one would have thought that Louis would turn out to be the next King.
“Is that the way to nursery?” Brina asked when she saw the opening that is covered with curtains.
“Uh.. huh? Want to take a look? I guess my mother made it look as grand as our bedroom.” Louis told her.
“Didn’t you see till now?” Brina asked, shocked.
“Nope. I wanted to see our room and everything related to our marriage only with you.” he said, ki-ssing her li-ps.
Brina right away melted. She ki-ssed him back.
“Let’s not see it till the member related to the nursery joins us.” Brina said, winking.
She knows that the King has to produce the heir as soon as possible.
Louis grinned and nodded his head.
He is not yet ready to share her with anyone, so he will delay it as much as he can.
Not that he doesn’t like to have children but because he loves his wifey more and they haven’t had enough time with each other.
He doesn’t want a competitor!!
They spent some time checking out their room and Brina sat down on the bed, testing its softness.
It’s fluffy and so soft that it made her bounce when she sat down. She skimmed her hand on the thick blanket and she couldn’t help but gulp.
The thought of doing that stuff in this room and on this very same bed made her blus-h. If everything goes well, they might get married by the end of next month.
Even Louis un-derstood that Brina is in the same thoughts as him. His eyes darkened and he started to feel hot again with pas-sion all over.
His hands itched to prison her in his arms and push her into the softness of the bed as he tower on her. His fingers urged to rip off her clothes and conquer her.. however, he knows he can’t do that, yet.
All he could do is ki-ss her li-ps in a fiery hunger.
Soon, they found themselves on the bed and Louis whispered “Just think about the night, babe. Ahh.. I can’t wait at all.”
His husky voice made her shiver and she couldn’t do anything but wrap her arms around his ne-ck and pull him for a pas-sionate ki-ss.
Who said, she isn’t waiting for that day?
Louis removed her t-shirt and started ki-ssing her ne-ck and shoulders, while his hands moved relentlessly on her upper body, trying to feel all her curves, totally in their own world that they didn’t hear the sound of someone approaching the room.
Who can blame them?
It’s a soundproof room!
“GUYS!!” Eliina shouted on top of her lungs as she barged inside. She is pa-nting and in a hurry.
Brina right away pushed Louis, startled by the sudden voice. Louis huffed and sat down “What?!” he asked his sister.
Meanwhile, Brina quickly wore the t-shirt and started adjusting her hair properly.
“I just caught you red-handed, making out.” Eliina snapped at her brother when she heard him shout at her.
Louis sighed. “So what, Elle? I am making out with my soon-to-be wife and it was you who caught us. And, in the first place I wouldn’t call it ‘red-handed’ but as is getting disturbed.” Louis told, rolling his eyes.
“Well, if you feel like that, it’s totally a waste to tell that grandmother is on her way here!” she said.
“WHAT?! WHEN?!” Louis asked.
“Might be in another two minutes.” Eliina told them.
Thank her for keeping tabs on her grandmother.
When she found out that her grandmother, Queen Mother Greta was on the way to meet Louis, she right away checked where her brother was.
As his ring has ‘siblings’ tracker which they created for themselves, she is able to find out that he went to visit Brina.
And, knowing her brother, she figured out that he completed his work soon so that he can show Brina around.
“Then, I have to leave immediately!” Brina said, tying up her hair and climbing out the bed, in a hurry.
“By now she would be climbing stairs to reach Louis’s rooms. And, you can’t access the secret pas-sway as there are chances she might come across.” Eliina said.
Louis looked back at his girlfriend, feeling sad for not getting quality time with her.
“Baby, my grandmother might not come into this room as she comes to talk to me. So, you can stay here till the oldie goes away.” Louis said pecking her li-ps in a hurry.
Brina nodded her head and smiled.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” Brina said.
“Now, go!” she said to Louis and Eliina.
…
“Eliina is here as well? Don’t you have your dance clas-ses?” Queen Mother Greta asked when she saw Eliina coming down the stairs with her brother taking the lead.
“Pardon me, grandmother. I asked Eliina to help me in some things. So, she is here.” Louis said, coming to his sister’s aid.
He knows that his genius sister doesn’t like all these ‘princess’ things.
She is like him!
“Hmm.. I see. But, why have you come back in the middle? Aren’t you supposed to meet Olivia and her brother to talk about the boundaries issue?” Greta questioned her grandson.
“I’m not Ethan to work twenty four hours seven days. I nee-d at least a half day in a week to myself.” Louis said, making his stepmother Elora widen her eyes.
From behind she shook her head, asking him not to be disrespectful.
This old woman will start blaming Louis’s birth mother for raising him like this and Elora doesn’t want anyone to badmouth his sister figure and bestfriend, Rhea who is also Louis’s birth mother.
Queen Mother Greta narrowed her eyes but Louis didn’t flinch.
He is not his brother Ethan to live in their control. Even if his grandmother banishes him, he will still remain as a billionaire with powerful people surrounding him.
He will even have his baby girl with him.
There is nothing he would lose.. in fact, he will be in advantage. They are the one who ‘persuaded’ him to return.
“Taking rest is good.” she indifferently said, her face turning as black as a burnt pot.
However, she walked towards the stairs with the support of a cane.
“Grandmother, what’s wrong? Why are you going upstairs?” Louis asked, his heart almost skipped a beat.
Brina is hiding upstairs!
“Nothing is wrong, son. Mother came to look at your marital bedroom and nursery which I designed.” his stepmother Elora said.
Elora is trying to please her mother-in-law who is angry with her for Ethan’s failed alliance.
Now, Greta decided not to trust Elora and took a firm decision to look after everything related to Louis’s marriage and alliance.
Eliina and Louis looked at each other in worry.
If this old woman will see Brina here, she will make a hu-ge fuss about it.
But thanks to Brina’s idea. They are connected by a call and she must have heard his grandmother.
But the problem here is, where will Brina hide?
…
Meanwhile..
Brina is panicking as well. But not too much.
She is more than aware that this room might have another secret room or pas-sway.
As this room is for the King, Queen and their baby or babies, for security purposes there had to be a way to hide or escape.
However she isn’t sure of the consequences if she uses it.
Being insightful like always, Brina has already started looking for it the moment she found out that the Queen Mother is coming to look for Louis. Furthermore, she found it.
It’s in the walk-in-closet.
In the cu-pboard, the hanging outfits and other accessories are hiding the door.
Others might have felt difficult in finding things like this, but for Brina it’s just like a piece of cake.
So, as soon as she heard his grandmother’s words, Brina sprinted to walk-in-closet and soon got to the door.
To open the door, she must nee-d a fingerprint. However, Louis has already told her that he added her fingerprint to open anything in his suite.
Signing out in relief when the door got pushed open, Brina right away entered it and made it come back to normal.
As soon as she entered the secret room, the lights turned on startling her.
It is a small room but Brina knows that it is somehow connected to the staircase that could facilitate escape.
She just looked around, while she continued eavesdropping their conversation on her phone.
…
Louis almost felt his heart drop, when his grandmother entered the bedroom. They have just used the bed and he totally forgot to adjust the bed covers.
However, he sighed in relief when he noticed that Brina already adjusted it.
Meanwhile, Queen Mother Greta looked around, but for Eliina it felt like she was searching for something.
“Not bad, Elora. You at least reached the cut off of my standards. Not bad, however, I would like to make some changes.” she told Louis’s stepmother, Elora.
Meanwhile, she walked into the walk-in-closet and also scrutinized everything. She didn’t forget to check bathroom as well.
Meanwhile, Eliina looked at his brother, asking where Brina might have gone.
He just shrugged his shoulders. For now, he is glad that Brina didn’t get caught.
After looking around, Greta exited the bedroom and sat down on the couch in the drawing room.
“Louis, what do you think about the first competition? You would have got some rou-ghideas, right?” Greta asked.
Louis frowned.
What does he think?
What else is left to think? He is even imagining how his and Brina’s children will be.
He even decided where to go on their honeymoon and how to surprise his wife.
And, here, his grandmother is asking about his opinion!
“Grandmother, we just finished one event! How can I even judge whether they are suitable or not? First of all, I have to interact with all of them and see who would match me. Who can become a good wife and can only become the Queen. So, no, I don’t think anything about it yet.” he said.
Though Greta didn’t like his reasoning, she felt happy. That mere commoner has won the first event and it made her totally annoyed.
She only wants Olivia!
“Grandmother, I don’t care whether she is from the top two noble families. I simply don’t care if she will make a good Queen or not. Marriage just comes once in life and I want my marriage to stand on love.. not on mutual agreement.”
“So, don’t try to fix a private date with Olivia or Katherine. I know that you planned a blind date with Olivia today. Please stop doing all those! If I feel Olivia is a ti-ght choice to me, I will definitely select her. It’s my marriage, not some business agreements.” Louis seriously told his grandmother.
He knows that she had set up a date with Olivia this evening.
If he is not wrong, she would have even set up some Paparazzi to take pictures of them and bring a hype about it.
As he would never listen to her words, his grandmother chose these despicable methods.
After that she left his room with a foul expression. Coming here to check out his room is just for a name sake.
She has actually come here to talk to him to attend that blind date.
Huh.. what a waste!
As soon as she came out of the west wing of the palace, she started walking in the garden, her expression foul.
Meanwhile, her phone started to ring.
And she is sure it is Olivia’s grandfather. He is calling to ask her if she did what he has asked her to do.
He is a blackmailer.
