Dream, Where True Love Lies 6 Dream 5: Betrothed

"Of course, how can I forget such a memorable moment? After that, my maid fetched me and asked me questions and that's when the news came out, that I saw the destined one. Luckily, I did not describe the looks to her or else it will be messy. I described it to you because I feel like you deserve to know, you're her fiancé after all. Now you know what she looks like, a beautiful girl which also exceeds my expectation of beauty."

Then they arrived at the quarters.

Princess Blaze added, "I think, I too deserve a compensation for my information. Don't you think prince?"

Genrou smirked and nodded. "Of course, thank you for your information. Now my antic.i.p.ation of seeing her has greatly increased. I'm excited to see the beauty that you described. Just tell me when you want to get your compensation. I'll make myself available." He agreed as he enters the king's quarters.

Princess Blaze smiled and nodded as she walks away, then she softly uttered "I deserve to be payed from the truthfulness I spoke even though it hurt me a little bit."

She look at the sky and wondered, "Haaaa~ what kind of compensation would I want?"

At the Dragon Clan's palace, in Fai's Room

*Looks at the enourmous bed*

"Woah! Five large people would fit in here"

*Looks at the golden wardrobe*

"Woah!!!Is this real!? So many beautiful clothes inside!"

*Runs towards the bathroom*

"Goodness gracious!!!This bathroom is wider than my dorm!"

Fai ran around excitedly while getting all curious and thrilled with all the new things she's seeing and the amazement she's feeling is beyond what she can imagine. She feels so happy.

Then after all of the fuss, she plunges in the bed, and rolled around. Suddenly she stopped and begins pondering while looking at the crystal ceiling.

She took a deep breath, "Is this all a dream? It feels real. But if this is just dream, then can't I wake up? I don't wanna wake up anymore. I take back what I said a while ago. I'll just enjoy being here for the meantime. This is better than living in that world full of deceitful and selfish people. At least in here, people are welcoming. They even tended my wounds and gave me a room. Also, I don't have to worry about expenses, electricity, water and such anymore. I mean, I live in the palace! *continues to roll around while her head is screaming in joy* HAHAHAHA!"

*Suddenly sits up and realizes* "But wait, this is beyond good, I mean, so sooo good. What if they're just being nice because they need something from me right? What if I have to pay with my life and they make me a sacrifice!?I mean they are immortals right!?What if I'm right? What if I'm right!!!"

Continues to talk to herself…"Wait Fai, calm down, you and your wild imagination. Heh! You're thinking too much, come on, there are so many nice people here, including the servants, the queen and---and that guy. What's his name again? Something like Gen---

"Genlou? Gendou? Genshou?

Arghhhh! Why does my memory suck even in dream!? Wait-wait I can sense it, it's in the tip of my tongue…*recalling, recalling*… It's Gen...Gen...Genrou!I knew it, my memory don't suck at all! *proud laugh*"

"Genrou huh?Quite fitting on him, judging from his demeanor."

As she stand and walk towards the window she uttered, "Anyways, are there anything else to do in here? They don't have a phone don't they? Nah, I bet they don't need it anymore, just look at their capabilities."

*Sudden realization*

"But this is a dream, gos.h.!.+ why would I think of a phone even in my dream instead of wanting to have some magic?Am I that eager to hold my phone even in my dreams? I mean a Wi-Fi and a phone!?Can't I live without them!?Goodness Fai, you're relying too much on gadgets, better discipline myself when I wake up (if I can even remember these things).

Then suddenly, she heard an utterance.

"You are quite energetic huh? Do you enjoy conversing alone with yourself?"

A gorgeous lady approximately 22 years of age who is leaning at the room's door jokingly said.

As Fai look towards the direction, she was immediately star struck. She kept staring at the lady that she even forgot to reply.

"h.e.l.lo~~~ someone here?" The lady implied as she knocks on the open door.

Fai came to her senses, "Oh sorry ma'am, it's just that I was drawn to your beauty. What was that again?" She replied.

The lady chuckles and came near Fai, "You know what, you sound like a flirting man when you said "drawn". I mean why would you even say that to another lady?

She then sat at the couch elegantly crossing her legs. "You see a maiden who is exceptionally as beautiful as you should use words more appropriately. Unless you're really interested in me *smirks* I know I'm beautiful, really beautiful that even both s.e.xes are attracted to me, but you know what, sometimes it's tiring to be beautiful. Can't you relate?"

Fai is speechless with what she just said. In her thoughts "I mean, first who is this gorgeous lady?Second, why is she here, and third, what is she talking about!?Beauty?Interested?Can't relate?Sure I can't relate! No one has ever appreciated my beauty, not until now. "

Fai who is ready to reply "Umm, ma'am--" was cut off in the middle.

"Call me Adara. I am Adara Shawn, sorry for the late introduction. I am the eldest daughter of Shawn family, my brother brought you here didn't he? Miss Fai?"

Fai again was confused. "How did she know what I was curious about? She knows my name?Brother? Does she mean Genrou?"

She then decided "Let's just ask anyway!"---"Ma'am Adara, how did you know, you know, what I was thinking and such. Do you have a psychic power or mind reading abilities? You even know my name" she asked.

Adara snickered and replied "What are you talking about psychic and such, my power's not that. I don't even need abilities to guess what you were thinking, your expressions were sooo easy to read you know, like a scroll with big letters, I love it! hahahaha"

Fai place her palm in the face, "I knew it, I'm being dumb again--arghh so embara.s.sing"

Sapphire continues to laugh, and she said while patting Fai's back. "Don't be disappointed my dear, everyone goes through that once in their life."

Fai in her thoughts, "Well for me, I experience that most of the times."

"Come on, I thought what my brother brought home was just some kind of you know, the acting pitiful yet vicious types. We are p.r.o.ne to those viles nowadays.

My parents were so interested in you, that's when I come to know your name. I even thought that you used some witchcraft to seduce my brother and get their attention. Mortals are capable of that right? I was really looking forward in slapping you in the face, but then when I finally met you, I was a bit dissapointed." She pouted while rolling her eyes.

Fai curiously asks,"Why is that?"

"Well because I got the wrong hunch. And I couldn't slap you. Do you know how frustrating that is? But then I realized you were innocent and I can feel it." Then she put a friendly smile on her face showing her teeth.

Fai sat in the bed and a.s.serted. "Miss Adara."

"Mm?"

"You are Genrou's sister right?

"Yes, I am. *looks at Fai directly* If you are wondering what to call me because I'm a princess, just continue with the 'Miss Adara' or just Adara. Don't call me princess anymore I'm sick of it already."

"But that's not what I'm wondering about" Fai straightforwardly said.

Adara, who did not expect to hear that from her, got embarra.s.sed. She awkwardly responded looking away while tucking her hair behind her ears, "W-well I'm just reminding you, you know. *Awkward laugh* Hhahhaa."

To break the awkward atmosphere she then asked Fai "Anyway, what is it that you want to say?"

Fai replied, "I just want to say that you two brother and sister, other than being both gorgeous physically, you are also suspicious of me. You see, first I met him and then he accused me of being a spy, next I was suspected being a witch by you. Am I really that suspicious? Also, you know what, you both told me that I am easy to read. You truly are siblings. I get laugh at by you."

Adara burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHA you're really cute you know that. Honest and charming. If my Genrou wasn't engaged, I'd s.h.i.+p both of you." She a.s.serted

Fai cannot believe what she just heard, and her mouth slowly drops open, "What!? He's engaged!? Already!?" she exclaimed.

"What, you can't believe? Why, you want to take the fiancée's place?" She jokingly indicated.

"What? No! It's just unexpected. I did not expect it at all, him having a lover I mean."

"I see. Come here,*pats the couch* I'm gonna tell you something interesting. You might get more shock when you hear about it. *winks*

Fai then sat beside Adara. Curiously she asks "What is the interesting news? Come on tell me."

Adara whispered in Fai's ear,"The seat's taken but it's vaaacannttt~".

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean what I mean? Can't you guess it? The fiancée's not around."

*Startled* Fai responded "What!? Oh gos.h.!.+ (*slowly place her hands on the mouth*) and he's still holding onto their relations.h.i.+p? (*teary eyed*) What a lover boy he is! (*back to normal*) Anyway, where'd the girl go?"

"Her whereabouts are unknown as of now. And it's not like my brother have a choice you know. They were betrothed with each other since their birth so naturally he must stay loyal to her. But of course I have to agree that my brothers' truly a lover boy. In fact he really is true to his feelings. Even though he hadn't have the chance to meet her yet."

Fai reacted, "They...did not meet yet? Is it possible to remain loyal to the person you haven't even met? I mean how can one develop feelings if the person he loves is unknown?" and she muttered, "Here is really different. It's not even possible in our world. Including those who are so inlove, breaks up when they experience a long distance relations.h.i.+p."

Then Adara uttered out a question, "Fai, do you believe in destiny?"

"Destiny? I've heard enough of it from couple's in love. But I feel skeptic about it. I mean, isn't it just a coincidence? People meet when they meet, break up when they break up. Clearly, event happens when it happens." She replied.

Adara smiled "Well you have a point, but we, Immortals believe in destiny. You see, Genrou's fiancée was not a normal princess at all. She is appointed as the chosen one."

In Fai's thoughts "Oh, of course she is a princess."

Adara further explained. "In Genrou and his fiancée's case, the prophet predicted that the chosen one was destined to be with a Dragon Prince who will be born the same year as her. It is said that he will play a big role in the midst of fulfilling her mission. He will be her greatest ally, as well as her strength and weakness. And because my brother was born exactly the same year as the princess was, he was chosen as the best candidate for the engagement. He was the only dragon prince who was born in that year. It's as if, it really were all in place."
