Ch 4: Wildfire

Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
Your Highness!
After patiently waiting for a long time in the small Arabella manor, the carriage carrying the Prince stopped.
Rhysand walked out and his eyes looked right at me as he walked out.
He huffed, almost expecting something. But before he could stand there for too long, I rushed and hugged him tightly.
His attendants all turned white, terrified of the consequences that he'd impart on me.
But he hugged me back, almost as if he was waiting for it to happen.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
Where are your parents?
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
They're working in the Capital, so it's only me in the house, along with the head maid and three servants.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
I heard that your family didn't have any servants, so I brought my own.
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
That's alright. I'm sure that Bertha will welcome them too.
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
Come on in, I baked some cakes!
I took his hand and pulled him inside of the manor, all while his attendants were confused, as if they had missed a chapter.
After that day, Rhysand, or Rhys as he liked me calling him, spend a lot of time with me.
Every day, we'd do something different and my parents only came back occasionally, when they were scared for my safety with the Prince.
But Rhys never hurt me. He never laid a finger on me.
He slowly opened up and became more and more open with me.
Our friendship progressed nicely, and the period of half a year was over before I knew it.
As a way of bestowing upon me his gratitude, the King summoned us both to the throne room, to truly see the change that I had made in his son.
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
Are you nervous?
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
Are you?
Am I? What if he doesn't believe to see any improvement?
What am I going to do?
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
Emilia?
He took my hand and kissed the inside of my palm.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
Don't worry. I told you that I'd protect you.
He did promise me that.
He kissed the inside of my palm more and more, slowly moving up to lick the inside of my wrist.
I shivered, unfamiliar with that feeling.
When the doormen summoned us in, Rhys looped his hand around mine and brought me inside of the hall.
The amount of people inside were intimidating, but Rhys's hand kept me straight.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
Father.
Rhys bowed straight.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
I've returned.
King Albione
King Albione
So you have.
King Albione
King Albione
Lady Arabella... has my son been a hassle in your household? You may speak freely.
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
A hassle?
He is perhaps... a little too clingy, and gives me no time to myself.
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
Not at all. Though he can be picky with his food.
The King chuckled.
King Albione
King Albione
Good, good.
King Albione
King Albione
And I trust that you've learnt discipline, and respect.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
I have, Father. Lady Arabella has done an amazing job and deserves a reward that reflects that.
King Albione
King Albione
Hm, you don't say...
King Albione
King Albione
Well, you're in luck.
King Albione
King Albione
A friend of mine has recently been in the need of an assistant when he travels abroad to a school.
King Albione
King Albione
You have an interest in magic and history, yes?
King Albione
King Albione
Well, I'd like to put your name forward for that.
What?
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
What?
Studying abroad...
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
How long will it be for?
King Albione
King Albione
Let's see, perhaps four years?
Four years... would pass the 18th birthday deadline.
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
I'd love to!
Emilia Arabella
Emilia Arabella
I accept.
Rhysand Lexian
Rhysand Lexian
...
King Albione
King Albione
Wonderful. You depart quite early, in two days time. I'll ensure that you are well taken care of, Lady Arabella.
I curtsied and smiled excitingly at Rhys... who didn't seem to share my excitement.
