Chap 50

Outside of the balcony, Don was standing behind the door. He could hear the slow sobs and murmuring of her lips.

His lips set in a thin line and a deep frown settled on his face.

What will be fine?

He couldn't understand but the girl was definitely hiding something.

And the more she was behaving abnormally, the more she was attracting his attention.

Don finally glanced at the open door and silently left the balcony.

He passed through the garden and was about to cross the wall when someone called him from behind.

"Regal…." a sweet voice rang in the silent night.  Don looked behind and saw the lean figure of Jade standing not far away.

"Garcia…" he was surprised to see her there.

"What are you doing here?" Jade walked forward and asked him.

"Nothing, just some normal rounds," Don replied without batting an eye.

"Ohh, I heard about the poison attack," Jade said.

"Did you find out who was behind it?" she asked.

Jade was wearing a thin nightdress and as the wind blew her blond hair fluttered in the air.

"No leads till now,' Don said and Jade nodded.

"Why are you up so late?" Don asked. She has taken part in the competition so she should be tired.

"I couldn't sleep," she said. 

"Why?" Don asked.

"I was thinking about strategies to win the next competition, haha," Jade joked. She waited for Don to react but the man just stood there glancing at her without a change of emotions on his face.

Seeing the look in his eyes something broke inside her but Jade was clever enough to hide her emotions. She cleared her throat and asked him to come with her.

"Ahem...Why don't you come in and we can sit and talk," Jade held his hand and pulled towards her room.

"Garcia…" before Don could say anything Jade glared at him.

"I'm not going to hear any excuses. Since I have come here I have noticed that you didn't even bother to come and meet me," she pouted as she dragged him towards her chamber.

"Although I can understand that you must be busy with all the ceremony stuff going on, but at least as a childhood friend I deserve some of your time, don't I?" She complained. They entered the room and the maid who was sleeping Inside on the floor woke up hastily.

She saw jade with the prince and immediately left the room and closed the door behind.

"Come take a seat," Jade sat on the bed and patted the empty space beside her. The room was dark but for those who had good night vision, the light wasn't needed.

Don released a sigh and walked ahead and took a seat beside her.

He looked at her and lifted his eyebrows. 

Jade who was looking at his face blinked her eyes and then looked down.

"So, how have you been all this while?" She started the conversation.

"Good," as expected, came a one-word reply.

"You didn't come for my birthday celebration last time, why?" She asked. 

"I was busy," he replied almost robotically.

Jade looked at his indifferent face and set her lips in a thin line.

"Don't you have to say something apart from that?" She waited for a while but the man didn't say anything at all.

"What do you want me to say?" He asked. 

"Anything, I was waiting for you to come but you didn't even bother to send a letter," she looked at him with expectant eyes waiting for an answer.

But all she received was silence. She sighed and no one spoke anything for a while. The awkwardness lingering in the room was obvious.

"I was shocked when we received the invitation for your bride choosing ceremony," she said. It was always like this. She was aware of how difficult this man was to talk with.

"Uh-huh," Don nodded. 

"I was surprised too," he smiled.

"Yeah, I mean out of all the people I never thought that you would make your marriage this big affair," Jade laughed out loud trying to sound normal.

"What can I say, couldn't say no to father," Don sighed as he leaned back with the support of both his hands.

"King Zachary can be overbearing," Jade commented.

"So are you serious about all this stuff? Choosing the one who wins the competition?" She asked. Her fingers were fiddling with each other as she spoke.

"Maybe. You know how I am," he smiled. Jade looked at him for a second before she looked away. Avoiding eye contact.

She wanted to ask something else but she couldn't bring herself to.

"How's your father doing?" After a silence of a few minutes, Don asked. His eyes were on her, registering all small details and changes in her actions.

"He is fine, will soon be here for a summer celebration," she replied and her lips arched in a tight smile.

Perfect timing hmmm. Don nodded in his head.

The summer festival will start just after the last competition. Just on time to join his daughter's wedding. Don sneered.

"Good, I was hoping to meet him," Don said.

"Why?" 

"Nothing important just wanted to discuss some security plans related to borders," Don stated.

"Ohh," Jade nodded.

"I think we are done with catching up then?" Don stood up and Jade looked at him.

"You have changed you know," she stood up and followed him behind till the door.

"Maybe nothing has changed in me but your expectations of me have changed," Don turned around and replied.

"What does that suppose to mean," Jade pursed her lips.

"You are smarter than this Gracia to not understand what I mean," Lucian put his hand on her shoulders.

Jade looked at him as he walked away from there.

After the competition, there was a one day gap between the third and last competition. So there people can relax a bit.

It was sort of a free day so to fill in the time a small fair was organised.

The other morning Jade and lady Priscilla came to Silja's room to ask about her health.

Both the ladies by coincidence at the same time.

Silja was sitting in her chamber while a maid was tending her wounds.

"Lady Silja," Jade entered the chamber.

"Lady Jade, i ..," 

"Don't need the courtesy, lady Silja,"  Jade stopped her from standing up.

Jade walked forward and took a seat beside her.

"How are your wounds now?" She asked. 

"Old wounds have healed but the new is a bit painful," Silja smiled.

"I must say you were amazing in yesterday's fight. You almost surprised everyone," Jade praised putting her hand on Silja's hand.

"I got lucky maybe," Silja let out a dry laugh. 

"Yeah, I almost thought that you had some magic in your hand," Jade commented and Silja felt her heart drop.

"I wish I had," she tried to hide her emotions.

"I was thinking if you want to go to the fair with me tomorrow?" Jade asked.

"Ohh fair, I'm not sure lady Jade if I should be able to join with my legs still not healed," Her legs were hurting and she also didn't want to go out.

Now that her powers have started to surface again she didn't think it was a good idea to join the fair. The last thing she needed was to lose control of her own emotions and do something unspeakable.

"Ohh, alright, I understand," Jade smiled and nodded her head.

"Lady Silja," they were in the middle of talking when Lady Priscilla entered.

"Ohh lady jade is here too," Priscilla commented as she walked in.

"I was here to invite lady Silja to come with me to the fair," Jade said. Priscilla also took a seat in front of them.

"Coincidentally, I was here for the same reason too." 

"But sadly Lady Silja couldn't join us because of her leg injuries," Jade said.

"Is it that bad? Are you okay Lady Silja?" Priscilla widened her beautiful eyes.

"I'm fine, it's just a bit painful while walking," Silja smiled. Her cheeks were hurting from all the smiles and her eyes looking at the people all smiling and showing fake affections.

"But I must say, Lady Jade, it is quite thoughtful of you to be friends with your competitor," Priscilla commented.

Jade looked at the woman and she knew where this was coming from.

Even though Jade has not much interacted with Priscilla who was quite older than her she knew the woman quite well.

Being a grand Duke's daughter Priscilla was always a haughty child with a foul temper and lots of pride.

And even though she phrased that it was odd for Jade to meet Silja, it was odd that a woman like her was here to show care to a human princess who didn't have much standing at all.
